a)
To list the treatments for this experiment.
a)
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The researcher will use all combinations of the two factors.
Following is the list of treatments:
T1: 25% of food on sale, 60% off
T2: 25% of food on sale, 40%-70% off
T3: 50% of food on sale, 60% off
T4: 50% of food on sale, 40%-70% off
T5: 75% of food on sale, 60% off
T6: 75% of food on sale, 40%-70% off
T7: 100% of food on sale, 60% off
T8: 100% of food on sale, 40%-70% off
b)
To describe the procedure how would assign 200 volunteer subjects to treatments.
b)
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The researcher will use all combinations of the two factors.
Following is the list of treatments:
T1: 25% of food on sale, 60% off
T2: 25% of food on sale, 40%-70% off
T3: 50% of food on sale, 60% off
T4: 50% of food on sale, 40%-70% off
T5: 75% of food on sale, 60% off
T6: 75% of food on sale, 40%-70% off
T7: 100% of food on sale, 60% off
T8: 100% of food on sale, 40%-70% off
First need to assign each subject a unique code between 1 to 200. Therefore, by using any simulation need to draw randomly a 3-digit number. After drawing a number, select a corresponding subject for the treatment and then move on to the next 3-digit number. Using this procedure we can assign all the volunteer subjects to the treatments.
c)
To explain the purpose of random assignment.
c)
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The researcher will use all combinations of the two factors.
Following is the list of treatments:
T1: 25% of food on sale, 60% off
T2: 25% of food on sale, 40%-70% off
T3: 50% of food on sale, 60% off
T4: 50% of food on sale, 40%-70% off
T5: 75% of food on sale, 60% off
T6: 75% of food on sale, 40%-70% off
T7: 100% of food on sale, 60% off
T8: 100% of food on sale, 40%-70% off
There are some reasons behind the random assignment. We randomly assign the subjects to a treatment group such that the different treatment groups are as similar as possible prior to the treatments. To avoid the wrong conclusion, we need to assign subjects randomly to the treatments. We can conclude that the differences among the different treatment groups.
d)
To explain the description how percent on sale and precise discount versus
d)
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The researcher will use all combinations of the two factors.
Following is the list of treatments:
T1: 25% of food on sale, 60% off
T2: 25% of food on sale, 40%-70% off
T3: 50% of food on sale, 60% off
T4: 50% of food on sale, 40%-70% off
T5: 75% of food on sale, 60% off
T6: 75% of food on sale, 40%-70% off
T7: 100% of food on sale, 60% off
T8: 100% of food on sale, 40%-70% off
There is mean score of sale increases when percent of good on sale increases if the percent if precise. Also, we observed that the mean score decreases slightly as the percent of good on sale increase if the percent is a range. And finally, the score observed to be highest for a high percent of goods on sale with a precise percent.

- 21. ANALYSIS OF LAST DIGITS Heights of statistics students were obtained by the author as part of an experiment conducted for class. The last digits of those heights are listed below. Construct a frequency distribution with 10 classes. Based on the distribution, do the heights appear to be reported or actually measured? Does there appear to be a gap in the frequencies and, if so, how might that gap be explained?

If a random sample of 20 bulbs is tested, what is the probability that exactly 2 bulbs are defective? (hint: p=2% or 0.02; x =2, n=20; use the same logic for the following problems) Marketing Campaign: A marketing company sends out 1,000 promotional emails. The probability of any email being opened is 0.15. What is the probability that exactly 150 emails will be opened? (hint: total emails or n=1000, x =150) Customer Satisfaction: A survey shows that 70% of customers are satisfied with a new product. Out of 10 randomly selected customers, what is the probability that at least 8 are satisfied?

- Question 2. An American option on a stock has payoff given by F = f(St) when it is exercised at time t. We know that the function f is convex.

We consider a CRR model with So == 5 and up and down factors u = 1.03 and d = 0.96. We consider the interest rate r = 4% (over one period). Is this a suitable CRR model? (Explain your answer.)arrow_forwardQuestion 3. We want to price a put option with strike price K and expiration T. Two financial advisors estimate the parameters with two different statistical methods: they obtain the same return rate μ, the same volatility σ, but the first advisor has interest r₁ and the second advisor has interest rate r2 (r1>r2). They both use a CRR model with the same number of periods to price the option. Which advisor will get the larger price? (Explain your answer.)arrow_forward
