An analyst in the real estate business is interested in the relationship between the cost of the monthly rent of an apartment and the size of an apartment, in big cities. She gathers data for apartment buildings in 12 cities in 12 different states. In each city, she gets the numbers for at least 5 different buildings and at least 40 apartments in each building. She reaches the following conclusion: the rental cost of a 2-bedroom apartment is 50% more than the rental cost of a 1-bedroom apartment, and the rental cost of a 3-bedroom apartment is 50% more than the rental cost of a 2-bedroom apartment. Based on the paragraph, what is the minimum number of apartments she collected data on? Do you think her sample was large enough to be statistically valid?

- Question 2. Many older homes have electrical systems that use fuses rather than circuit breakers. A manufacturer of 40-amp fuses wants to make sure that the mean amperage at which its fuses burn out is in fact 40, i.e., u = 40. If the mean amperage is lower than 40, customers will complain because the fuses require replacement too often. If the mean amperage is higher than 40, the manufacturer might be liable for damage to an electrical system due to fuse malfunction. (a) To verify the amperage of the fuses, a random sample of fuses is to be selected and inspected. If a hypothesis test were to be performed on the resulting data, what null and alternative hypotheses would be of interest to the manufacturer?

- Question 2 The idea of insurance is that we all face risks that are unlikely but carry high cost. Think of a fire destroying your home. Insurance spreads the risk; we all pay a small amount, and the insurance policy pays a large amount to those few of us whose homes burn down. An insurance company looks at the records for millions of homeowners and sees that the mean loss from fire in a year is p = $250 per person. (Most of us have no loss, but a few lose their homes. The $250 is the average loss.) The company plans to sell fire insurance for $250 plus enough to cover its costs and profit. Why would it be unwise to sell only 12 policies? L Because if we have to pay for total loss for one or more of these 12 policies, it would be financially disastrous. L Because the probability that we would have to pay for total loss for one or more of these policies is very high. The statement is wrong. It is wiser to sell as few policies as possible. Because the income on 12 policies is very low.…arrow_forward1.
