The director of the MBA program at Salterdine University wants to develop a procedure to determine which applicants to admit to the MBA program. The director believes that an applicant’s undergraduate grade point average (GPA) and score on the GMAT exam are helpful in predicting which applicants will be good students. To assist in this endeavor, the director asked a committee of faculty members to classify 70 of the recent students in the MBA program into two groups: (1) good students and (2) weak students. The file MBAStudents.xlsm summarizes these ratings, along with the GPA and GMAT scores for the 70 students. What are the coordinates of the centroids for the good students and the weak students? Use XLMiner’s standard data partition command to partition the data into a training set (with 60% of the observations) and validation set (with 40% of the observations) using the default seed of 12345. Use discriminant analysis to create a classifier for this data. How accurate is this…

Each of the 500 potential customers in the survey was categorized according to the service plan feature she considers most important and the customer group in which she appears. The data are summarized in the contingency table below. In the cells of the table are the respective observed frequencies, and three of the cells also have blanks. Fill in these blanks with the frequencies expected if the two variables, type of potential customer and choice of service plan feature, are independent. Round the responses to at least two decimal places. Note:…
