A city planner wants to work with community leaders to develop a system of walker-friendly paths between the city's five parks. Since cost is an issue, the planner collects data on the cost of each park-to-park route. The planner uses the Nearest Neighbor method to determine an estimate of a least cost system of sidewalks that would allow a walker to visit each park once and return to the park where the walker has parked his/her car. The weighted graph below shows the cost of each possible path in thousands of dollars. B 236 239 124 225 131 163 A 168 109 120 Starting and ending at vertex A, what is the minimum cost to construct paths as estimated by the Nearest-Neighbor method? (note: The values on the graph are thousands of dollars, so you will need to append three zeros to your response. For example, if you get a minimum cost of 123, you would enter 123000.)

Some research has shown that older parents are not as strict when disciplining their children compared to younger parents. Children of older parents are more likely to be in daycare and have greater independence than children of younger parents, whereas children of younger parents are more likely to be at home with parents and other siblings, and encounter more home discipline. A researcher observed the disciplinary habits of 456 families with at least one child, categorizing each as "high" or "low" in terms of disciplinary strictness. The families were also divided into older parents (those 29 years of age or younger) and older parents (30 years old and up). Are the following data consistent with the hypothesis that older parents are not as strict when disciplining their children? Calculate gamma and interpret it's direction and magnitude, and summarize your findings in a few sentences. Level of discipline Parental age 29 years or younger 30 years or…
One major factor in low productivity is the amount of time wasted by workers. Wasted time could include things such as time spent waiting for more material and equipment, cleaning up mistakes, and performing any other activity not related to production. In a project designed to examine this problem, a consultant took a survey of 200 workers in companies that were classified as successful (on the basis of their latest annual profits) and another 200 workers from unsuccessful companies. The amount of time (in hours) wasted during a standard 40-hour workweek was recorded for each worker. Do these data provide enough evidence at the 5% significance level to infer that the amount of time wasted in unsuccessful firms exceeds that of successful ones? To answer this question, the consultant ran several analyses and provided the out below. Note that none of these analyses might be correct. A. H0: (μ1 - μ2) = 0 H1: (μ1 - μ2) > 0 B. H0: μD = 0 H1: μD > 0 C. H0: μD = 0…
You wish to assess whether Los Angeles has an equitable distribution of police services among its precincts compared to nearby cities. You theorize that if police resources are distributed equitably, average response times for emergency calls should be fairly similar from one precinct to another within the city. On the other hand, if response times are much higher in some precincts than others, police resources are probably not distributed as equitably as possible. You decide to compare the City of LA to the other cities in the rest of LA County. You are hypothesizing about differences in the mean between the City of LA and other cities. State in plain English the null and research hypotheses for this study.
A school Psychologist is interested in the effect of violent television programs on a child's agression depending on if the show is a cartoon or not. Eighty children were recruited and were divided into equal groups. Half of the children watched a violent television program while the other half watched a non- violent program. Half of the children watched a cartoon while the other half watched a show that was not a cartoon. The children were then placed in a small group and the researcher measured the level of agressiveness of each child.

3.4 The system is tested on a sample of one hundred computers and the average connection speed is found to be far below 400 kilobits. What hypothesis should probably be rejected? Explain. If the customer needs a connection speed of 400 kilobits to run her application programs, what is the business decision that corresponds to the decision regarding the hypotheses?
How will marketers change their social media use in the near future? A survey by Social Media Examiner reported that 77% of B2B marketers (marketers that focus primarily on attracting businesses) plan to increase their use of LinkedIn, as compared to 54% of B2C marketers (marketers that primarily target consumers). The survey was based on 1,184 B2B marketers and 1,703 B2C marketers. The following table summarizes the results: Give an example of a simple Give an example of a joint What is the complement of a marketer who plans to increase use of LinkedIn? Why is a marketer who plans to increase use of LinkedIn and is a B2C marketer a joint event?
In many colleges, educators are changing their approach to instruction from a “teacher/lecture-centeredmodel” to a “student-centered model” where students learn in a laboratory environment in which lectureis deemphasized and students can proceed at a pace suitable to their learning needs. In once schoolwhere this model was being introduced, of the 743 students who enrolled in the traditional lecture model, 364 passed; of the 567 in the student-centered model, 335 passed. Use a 0.05 level ofsignificance to test the claim that student-centered model results in a higher pass rate than the traditionalmodel?
An apartment management company wants to explore the consequences of allowing residents to have multiple dogs. They would like to find out whether the number of dogs predicts resident ratings. They would also like to control for the year the apartment complex was built because that might also affect the resident rating. They have collected data on several of their existing complexes. For each complex, they have counted the number of dogs currently living in the complex, the year the complex was built, and the average rating for that particular complex. They would like to perform a multiple regression on these variables to predict resident ratings. See data below. These data are the same as the previous question. Consequences of Multiple Dogs Number of dogs Year of facility Rating (out of 5) 54 1975 2 31 1964 3.5 0 2015 4.8 11 2011 3.8 73 1964 2.3 23 2016 3.7 0 2015 4.7 49 1989 2.7 What is the p-value for Number of Dogs?

Delta Food Grocery has two grocery stores located in Bije City. One shop is located on Jalan Usman and the other on Jalan Sinda and each is run by a different manager. Every manager claims that his shop layout maximizes the number of impulsive customers. The two managers surveyed their sample of customers and asked them how much they were spending than they planned, in other words, how much they were spending on impulse (spending more than they planned). The following table shows sample data collected from the two shops. Jalan Usman (Rp 000) Jalan Sinda (Rp 000) 15.78 15.19 17.73 18.22 10.61 12.87 15.79 17.79 13.45 13.96 12.85 13.74 12.47 10.83 S1 = 2.5529 S2 = 2.5675 Top management at Delta Foods Grocery wanted to know if there was a difference in the mean amount of impulsive consumption between the two stores.

The Dean of the College of Business at State University hasinitiated a fund raising campaign. One of the selling pointsshe plans to use with potential donors is that increasing thecollege’s private endowment will improve its ranking amongbusiness schools as published in various news magazines.She would like to demonstrate that there is a relationshipbetween funding and the rankings. She has collected thefollowing data showing the private endowments ($ millions),and annual budgets ($ millions) from state and privatesources, for eight of State’s peer institutions plus State, andthe ranking of each school. Use Excel to develop a linear regression model for theamount of the private endowment and the ranking, and forecast a ranking for a private endowment of $70 mil-lion. Does there appear to be a strong relationship between the endowment and ranking?b. Using Excel, develop a multiple regression equation forall of these data including private endowment andannual budget, and forecast a…
The authors of a paper compared two different methods for measuring body fat percentage. One method uses ultrasound, and the other method uses X-ray technology. Body fat percentages using each of these methods for 16 athletes (a subset of the data given in a graph that appeared in the paper) are given in the accompanying table. You can assume that the 16 athletes who participated in this study are representative of the population of athletes.
