Chapter B.1, Problem 33E
Protein Content of Wheat. In their text, Methods of
Protein content is found by expensive chemical analysis, whereas proportion of vitreous kernels is found by visual inspection. To provide an inexpensive way for predicting protein content, we want to obtain an appropriate regression equation for relating protein content to proportion of vitreous kernels. Use Procedure B.1 on page B-13 to determine a suitable regression equation.

Wing Foot knows that its stores will not show a profit unless they gross over $940,000 per year. Let A be the event that a new Wing Foot store grosses over $940,000 its first year. Let B be the event that a store grosses over $940,000 its second year. Wing Foot has an administrative policy of closing a new store if it does not show a profit in either of the first two years. Assume that the accounting office at Wing Foot provided the following information: 58% of all Wing Foot stores show a profit the first year; 72% of all Wing Foot store show a profit the second year (this includes stores that did not show a profit the first year); however, 86% of Wing Foot stores that showed a profit the first year also showed a profit the second year.
