A rancher is mixing two types of foods, Brand X and Brand Y, for his cattle. Each serving for cattle is required to have 360 grams of protein and 360 grams of fat. Brand X has 5 grams of protein and 10 grams of fat. Brand Y has 10 grams of protein and 5 grams of fat. Rancher has found that Brand X costs $3.5 and brand Y costs $5 per unit. Find out how much of each type should be used by the rancher to minimize cost. Keep in mind that the rancher has to buy at least one unit of each brand. Moreover, the number of brand X has to be twice the number of brand Y.

The 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. How would you classify this person?

In the original OJ Simpson trial, it was accepted that OJ had battered his wife. OJ’s lawyer tried to negate the impact of this information by stating that in a one-year period, only 1 out of 2500 battered women are murdered, so the fact that OJ battered his wife does not give much evidence that he was the murderer. The prosecution (foolishly!) let this go unchallenged. Here are the relevant statistics: In a typical year 6.25 million women are battered, 2500 are battered and murdered, and 2250 of the women who were battered and murdered were killed by the batterer. How should the prosecution have refuted the defense’s argument?
