Arçelik Refrigerator Production Inc. manufactures various types of refrigerators. Currently, it has produced the AA-No Frost type refrigerator and wants to do a research on its market value. The company identified its 6-person expert housewife customer and requested the valuation of the AA-No Frost refrigerator. These customers use a similar type of General Electric refrigerator, and the General Electric refrigerator value is -0.5352 in the valuation of this refrigerator. Values are determined out of 1000. According to this information, what is the value of the AA-No Frost refrigerator? What does it mean when compared to General Electric?

b) There are far more men than women in the police force in general. However, the NYCPolice Commission has set itself certain goals with respect to the positions of the femalesamong its ranks. Across the females they aim to target the same proportion by rank asthey do among the males. The target proportions by category are:(1) Officer – 70% (2) Detectives – 15% (3) Sargent – 10%(4) Lieutenant – 3% (5) Captain – 1% (6) Higher – 1%Conduct a test to determine whether the proportions,…

- Stock market analysts are continually looking for reliable predictors of stock prices. Consider the problem of modeling the price per share of electric utility stocks (Y). Two variables thought to influence this stock price are return on average equity (X1) and annual dividend rate (X2). The stock price, returns on equity, and dividend rates on a randomly selected day for 16 electric utility stocks are provided in the file P13_15.xlsx. Estimate a multiple regression equation using the given data. Interpret each of the estimated regression coefficients. Also, interpret the standard error of estimate and the R-square value for these data.arrow_forwardThe file P14_01.xlsx contains data on 100 consumers who drink beer. Some of them prefer light beer, and others prefer regular beer. A major beer producer believes that the following variables might be useful in discriminating between these two groups: gender, marital status, annual income level, and age. a. Use logistic regression to classify the consumers on the basis of these explanatory variables. How successful is it? Which variables appear to be most important in the classification? b. Consider a new customer: Male, Married, Income 42,000, Age 47. Use the logistic regression equation to estimate the probability that this customer prefers Regular.

To measure how much employees at these plants know about quality management, a random sample of 6 employees was selected from each plant and the employees selected were given a quality awareness examination. The examination scores for these 18 employees are shown in the following table. The sample means, sample variances, and sample standard deviations for each group are also provided. Managers want to use these data to test the hypothesis that the mean examination score is the same for all three plants.

- Regression analysis is a powerful and commonly used tool in business research. One important step in regression is to determine the dependent and independent variable(s). In a bivariate regression, which variable is the dependent variable and which one is the independent variable? What does the intercept of a regression tell? What does the slope of a regression tell? What are some of the main uses of a regression? Provide an example of a situation wherein a bivariate regression would be a good choice for analyzing data. Justify your answers using examples and reasoning.arrow_forwardThe Collector's Choice Inc. (CCI), a luxury car import company, has an old warehouse at the Port of Miami, Florida, where it temporarily stores expensive sports cars and automotive parts that arrive from Europe. This summer, CCI has noticed that the termite infestation in the warehouse has escalated to a point where tenting cannot be postponed anymore. (Tenting is the process of wrapping a building inside a huge tent that is subsequently filled with a poisonous gas capable of killing most forms of life inside, including insects, plants, pets, and human beings.) CCI's pest control company's contract specifies a to-do list of pre-tenting tasks, which include: • Turning off all air-conditioning units and opening all windows of the warehouse • Turning off all internal and external lights, including those operating on a timer • Pruning all outdoor vegetation at least 18" away from the -warehouse • Soaking the soil around the warehouse on the first day of tenting The requirement of opening…arrow_forwardFocastingarrow_forward
