Module Five (5): Science in Action Page 5.1.3 Interpreting Statistics and Certainty SHORT-ANSWER QUESTION Why is it rare to hear scientists say that they are absolutely certain of a result? It is impossible to lie about a situation that is 100% certain. It is always possible to prove or deny a scientific result. Posted 26 minutes ago. Reference Answer If a result is absolutely certain, then it could never be falsified. Results in science are always open to being confirmed or disproven. 2 MULTIPLE-CHOICE QUESTIONS > If a study shows a result with a p value of 0.2, what does that mean? There is a 0.8 percent chance the relationship being studied is real. There is a 0.2 percent chance the relationship being studied is real. There is a 20 percent chance the relationship being studied is real. There is an 80 percent chance the relationship being studied is real. Correct. The p value represents the likelihood that the result is a fluke, so a p value of 0.2 means that there is a 0.2 out of 1 (or 20 percent) chance that the relationship being studied is not real.
2 MULTIPLE-CHOICE QUESTIONS < In terms of accuracy and precision, throwing three darts toward the center of a dart board and hitting a bullseye each time would be considered what? accurate, but not precise precise, but not accurate both accurate and precise neither accurate nor precise Correct. Because all of the darts were in the same place, the results are considered precise, and because they are all in the desired area, the results are considered accurate.

FIVE. Which of the following is true about standard deviation?
The first step in calculating the standard deviation is calculating the square root.
The second step in calculating the standard deviation is to subtract each measurement from the intermediate value and then square that difference.
The last step in calculating the standard deviation is to sum the squared values and divide by the number of values minus one.
Standard deviation is a type of average where the positive and negative numbers sum to zero.
The amount of difference of the measurements from the central value is called the sample standard deviation.

Firms in India are losing productivity because of Facebook. Office staff are spending too long on the social networking site. According to the Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry, employees use Orkut, Facebook, Myspace and LinkedIn for many purposes. On an average, employees spend a hour a day on sites like Facebook. This reduces productivity by 12.5%. Nearly half of office employees accessed Facebook during work time.
Some 83% saw nothing wrong in surfing at work during office hours. In September 2009 Portsmouth City Council in England banned staff from accessing Facebook on its computers when it was discovered that they spent on an average, 400 hours on the site every month.
Questions:
What is meant by productivity?
Analyze the impact on a fall in productivity on costs?
Analyze the possible consequences for businesses in India of banning access to Facebook and other social networking sites.
Do you think such access should be denied?

In October 2015, amid rising fears about the security of credit card transactions, financial institutions and businesses made the transition to using chip cards. Unlike the quick swipe of a magnetic stripe on the back of traditional credit and debit cards, chip cards have to be left inside the terminal while the embedded chip verifies the transaction. While there is no consistent method for measuring transaction speed, news agencies report average chip speeds of anywhere from 8 seconds to 13 seconds.
The switch to chip readers was precarious, with many businesses taping over the chip card slots in the terminals until the kinks were worked out. Even after a year, some businesses still could not process chips and continued to utilize the magnetic stripe for transactions. Financial institutions thought the additional security benefits of the chips would overshadow the added wait times. Yet a survey conducted by Harbortouch, a leading point-of-sale company, in 2016 showed that nearly four…

A news clipping service is considering modernization. Rather than manually clipping and photocopying articles of interest and mailing them to its clients, employees electronically input stories from most widely circulated publications into a database. Each new issue is searched for key words, such as a client’s company name, competitors’ names, type of business, and the company’s products, services, and officers. When matches occur, affected clients are instantly notified via an online network. If the story is of interest, it is electronically transmitted, so the client often has the story and can prepare comments for follow-up interviews before the publication hits the street. The manual process has fixed costs of $400,000 per year and variable costs of $6.20 per clipping mailed. The price charged the client is $8.00 per clipping. The computerized process has fixed costs of $1,300,000 per year and variable costs of $2.25 per story electronically transmitted to the client.

To solve:
A manufacturer of high-tech computing equipment must decide whether or not to
continue development of a new promising technology. continuing the development would
cost $2 Million. If the development is continued, then a patent is either awarded or not.
70% chance that the patent will be awarded and
The best estimate is that there is a
a 30% chance that it will not.
if the patent is awarded, the company needs to decide whether or not to license the
technology. it does, it would receive a total of $25 million in licensing royalties.
However, the
company
could also produce and sell the technology in-house (at. a cost of
$10 million), in which case there is an additional uncertainty about the demand for the
technology. if the demand is high (p = 0.25), the company would make $55 Million in
revenues, if the demand is medium (p = 0.55) the company would make $33 Million and if
the demand is Low (p = 0.20) the company would still make $15 Million.

Suppose that you own a used car dealership. You want to sell a 2005 Honda Civic LX. You know that this car is of high quality, and it cost you $5000 to acquire it (so you will not sell it at a price below $5000). However, consumers cannot see the quality of the car at the time of purchase. They believe that 25% of the cars in the used car market are high-quality cars and 75% are low-quality cars or “lemons.” A typical lemon costs $2000 to acquire (so you will not sell it at a price below $2000).
Consumers are eager to buy and are willing to pay up to $3000 for a lemon and $6000 for a high-quality car.
From now on, suppose that only you (the seller) know the quality of the cars. (Buyers do not know the quality, but know the proportion of high- and low-quality cars in the market).
Suppose that you could offer bumper-to-bumper warranties. You know that offering a warranty on a high-quality car costs, on average, $450 per year of warranty offered, while a warranty on a lemon is very…

Consumers are eager to buy and are willing to pay up to $3000 for a lemon and $6000 for a high-quality car.
(a) Suppose for a moment that buyers could observe the quality of your car at the time of purchase. At what price would you be able to sell the 2005 Honda Civic Accord LX? If you had a lemon instead, what price would it sell at? (Suppose as a dealer you can induce buyers to pay at their highest willingness to pay. Keep this assumption in all of the following questions.)
