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…
A group of medical professionals is considering theconstruction of a private clinic. If the medical de-mand is high (i.e., there is a favorable market for theclinic), the physicians could realize a net profit of$100,000. If the market is not favorable, they couldlose $40,000. Of course, they don’t have to proceedat all, in which case there is no cost. In the absenceof any market data, the best the physicians can guessis that there is a 50–50 chance the clinic will be suc-cessful. Construct a decision tree to help analyze thisproblem. What should the medical professionals do?
A psychologist at the Royal Ottawa Hospital was asked to determine whether there was any clear difference in the length of stay (in days) of patients with different categories of diagnosis. The hospital was looking for ways to reduce costs and free up some more beds so that they could treat more patients from the community. They chose three diagnostic categories that they thought were possibly staying the longest and selected the 4 more recent admissions from each of these diagnostic categories: affective disorders, cognitive disorders, and drug-related disorders. The results are presented in Table 3 below. Using an alpha = .05 and showing all the steps of hypothesis testing, is there a significant difference in length of stay among diagnosistic categories? -do not use excel use formulas

A marketing research group conducting a telephone survey must contact at least 150 wives and 120 husbands. It costs P100 to make a daytime call and (because of higher labor costs) P150 to make an evening call. On average, daytime calls reach wives 30% of the time, husbands 10% of the time, and neither of these 60% of the time, whereas evening calls reach wives 30% of the time, husbands 30% of the time, and neither of these 40% of the time. Staffing considerations mean that daytime calls must be less than or equal to half of the total calls made. How many should be interviewed at each period to minimize the cost of completing the survey? fomulate the LP Model; identify the decision variables used in the model; and determine the optimal solution using graphical method.

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. Athlete X-ray Ultrasound 1 5.00 4.25 2 12.00 8.75 3 9.25 9.00 4 12.00 11.75 5 17.25 17.00 6 29.50 27.50 7 5.50 6.50 8 6.00 6.75 9 8.00 8.75 10 9.50 10.50 11 9.25 9.50 12 11.00 12.00 13 12.00 12.25 14 14.00 15.50 15 17.00 18.00 16 18.00 18.25 Use these data to estimate the difference in mean body fat percentage measurement for the two methods.

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.

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…
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 thaty 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. Multiple Dog Consequences 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 b coefficient for Number of Dogs?
