Textbook Question
Chapter R, Problem 6.46RE
Dairy sales Peninsula Creameries sells both cottage cheese and ice cream. The CEO recently noticed that in months when the company sells more cottage cheese, it seems to sell more ice cream as well. Two of his aides were assigned to test whether this is true or not. The first aide’s plot and analysis of sales data for the past 12 months (in millions of pounds for cottage cheese and for ice cream) appear below.
Dependent variable is Ice cream
R-squared = 36.9%
s = 8.320 with 12 - 2 = 10 degrees of freedom
The other aide looked at the differences in sales of ice cream and cottage cheese for each month and created the following output:
| Cottage Cheese | Ice Cream |
| Count | 12 |
| Mean | 11.8000 |
| 15.3500 | |
| StdDev | 7.99386 |
| IntQRange | 14.3000 |
| 25th %tile | 3.20000 |
| 75th %tile | 17.5000 |
Test H0: μ(CC - IC) = 0 vs Ha: μ(CC – IC) ≠ 0
Sample Mean = 11.800000 t-Statistic = 5.113 w>11 df
Prob = 0.0003
Lower 95% bound = 6.7209429
Upper 95% bound = 16.879057
- a) Which analysis would you use to answer the CEO’s question? Why?
- b) What would you tell the CEO?
- c) Which analysis would you use to test whether the company sells more cottage cheese or ice cream in a typical year? Why?
- d) What would you tell the CEO about this other result?
- e) What assumptions are you making in the analysis you chose in part a? What assumptions are you making in the analysis in part c?
- f) Next month’s cottage cheese sales are 82 million pounds. Ice cream sales are not yet available. How much ice cream do you predict Peninsula Creameries will sell?
- g) Give a 95% confidence interval for the true slope of the regression equation of ice cream sales by cottage cheese sales.
- h) Explain what your interval means.

Task Description:
Read the following case study and answer the questions that follow.
Ella is a 9-year-old third-grade student in an inclusive classroom. She has been diagnosed with Emotional and Behavioural Disorder (EBD). She has been struggling academically and socially due to
challenges related to self-regulation, impulsivity, and emotional outbursts. Ella's behaviour includes frequent tantrums, defiance toward authority figures, and difficulty forming positive relationships with peers. Despite her challenges, Ella shows an interest in art and creative activities and demonstrates strong verbal skills when calm.
Describe 2 strategies that could be implemented that could help Ella regulate her emotions in class (4 marks)
Explain 2 strategies that could improve Ella’s social skills (4 marks)
Identify 2 accommodations that could be implemented to support Ella academic progress and provide a rationale for your recommendation.(6 marks)

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)
