Chapter 3.5, Problem 212E

Dart Doubles. The top two players in the 2001–2002 Professional Darts Corporation World Championship were Phil Taylor and Peter Manley. Taylor and Manley dominated the competition with a record number of doubles. A double is a throw that lands in either the outer ring of the dartboard or the outer ring of the bull’s-eye. The following table provides the number of doubles thrown by each of the two players during the five rounds of competition, as found in Chance (Vol. 15, No. 3, pp. 48–55).

Question 2: When John started his first job, his first end-of-year salary was $82,500. In the following years, he received salary raises as shown in the following table. Fill the Table: Fill the following table showing his end-of-year salary for each year. I have already provided the end-of-year salaries for the first three years. Calculate the end-of-year salaries for the remaining years using Excel. (If you Excel answer for the top 3 cells is not the same as the one in the following table, your formula / approach is incorrect) (2 points) Geometric Mean of Salary Raises: Calculate the geometric mean of the salary raises using the percentage figures provided in the second column named “% Raise”. (The geometric mean for this calculation should be nearly identical to the arithmetic mean. If your answer deviates significantly from the mean, it's likely incorrect. 2 points) Hint for the first part of question 2: To assist you with filling out the table in the first part of the question,…
