Consider the two examples of spreadsheet simulation solved in the class (i.e. A news vendor problem and the M/U/1 queue problem). For the news vendor problem, we calculated the sample standard deviation and constructed confidence interval of the expected profit. However, for the M/U/1 queue problem, we did not compute the standard deviation of queue waits and confidence intervals as in the news vendor problem for two important reasons, which are applicable to all dynamic simulations. Those two very important reasons are. Select one: O A. Validation and verification B. Validation and correlation C. Autocorrelation and dependence D. Autocorrelation and stationarity

A large manufacturing company investigated the service it received from its suppliers and discovered that, in the past, 38% of all material shipments were received late. However, the company recently installed a just-in-time system in which suppliers are linked more closely to the manufacturing process. A random sample of 150 deliveries since the just-in-time system was installed reveals that 33 deliveries were late. If we want to test whether the proportion of late deliveries was reduced signicantly at = 0:10 the null and alternative hypotheses are a. Null hypothesis (H0) b. Alternative hypothesis (HA)
In building an arena, steel bars with a mean ultimate tensile strength of 400 Megapascal (MPa) with a variance of 81 MPa were delivered by the manufactured. The project engineer tested 50 steel bars and found out that the mean ultimate tensile strength is 390 MPa. The decision for the extension of the contract with the manufacturer depends on the engineer. Test the hypothesis whether there is no significant difference between the two means using a two-tailed with a=0.01
An investigator hypothesizes that the improvement rate associated with a placebo is P1 = 0.45, and that the improvement rate associated with an active drug is P2 = 0.65. The plan is to perform a two-tailed test. Use SAS to complete each problem below. (a) If a significance level 0.01 and a power of 0.95 are desired, how large a sample per treatment must he study? (b) How large must the sample size be if the significance level is relaxed to 0.05 and the power to 0.85? (c) For this study, suppose that you have funds to recruit 130 patients per group. What is the power for a 5% level test for this sample size? First do the computation by hand and then use SAS to confirm.
The cost of making a batch of a certain product depends on the size of the batch, as shown by the following sample data: Cost $ 30 70 140 270 530 1010 2000 5100 size of the batch 1 5 10 25 50 100 250 500 a) Fit a straight line to said data, with the least squares method, use the lot size as the independent variable. b) Find a 95% confidence interval for alfa that can be interpreted as the fixed overhead cost of manufacture.
A smartphone manufacturer is so certain of its quality control that it offers a complete replacement warranty if the smartphone fails within 3 years. Based upon compiled data, the company notes that there is a 2 percent chance that its smartphone will fail during the first year, a 10 percent chance that a smartphone that survives the first year fails during the second year, and a 20 percent chance that a smartphone that survives the first two years fails during the third year. The warranty does not cover replacement smartphones after the third year. (a) Formulate the evolution of the status of the smartphone as a Markov Chain whose states include two abosrbing states that involve needing to honor the warranty or having the smartphone survive the warranty period. Construct the transition probability matrix and draw the transition probability diagram. (b) Determine the probability that: (a) the manufacturer will have to honor the warranty and (b) the manufacturer will not…
In the macro relation between GDP and FDI, Dr Mudenda obtained the following valuesfrom a Stata output: FDI coefficient of 0.45; t-statistic of 3; and covariance (GDP, FDI)value of 0.41. In literature, this relationship between GDP and FDI has generally beenestablished to be statistically significant. Answer the following questions:i) Calculate the variance of the FDI variable and explain its implicationii) Use the confidence interval approach to test whether FDI’s influence on GDP isstatically significant or not in Dr Mudenda’s study. Use 5% level which gives 1.96critical values.iii) What is the expected value of the p-values for studies that have been conductedin literature?
Q.8.1 A large manufacturing company claims that more than 88% of its customers are fullysatisfied with the company’s products. Test this claim at the 5% significance level, if asurvey found that 360 out of a random sample of 400 of the company’s customerssaid that they were fully satisfied with the company’s products.Q.8.2 The CEO of Global Investment Funds claims that, on average, clients leave theirinvestment funds with the company for a period of at least 56 months.Test this claim at the 10% significance level, if it was found that a sample of 29 clientsleft their investment funds with the company for an average period of 58.85 months,with a standard deviation of 3.75 months.Q.8.3 A shop owner claims that on average, his shop has a daily turnover of R75 000. Testthis claim at the 5% significance level, if the average daily turnover for a sample of 88days was R71 500. Assume a population standard deviation of R4 450.

Anita's, a fast-food chain specializing in hot dogs and garlic fries, keeps track of the proportion of its customers who decide to eat in the restaurant (as opposed to ordering the food "to go") so it can make decisions regarding the possible construction of in-store play areas, the attendance of its mascot Sammy at the franchise locations, and so on. Anita's reports that of its customers order their food to go. Suppose that this proportion is correct and that a random sample of individual customers is taken. Answer the following. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.) (a) Estimate the number of customers in the sample who order their food to go by giving the mean of the relevant distribution (that is, the expectation of the relevant random variable). Do not round your response. (b) Quantify the uncertainty of your estimate by giving the standard deviation of the distribution. Round your response to at least three decimal places.

A recent study examined the effects of carbon monoxide exposure on a group of construction workers. The following table presents the numbers of workers who reported various symptoms, along with the shift (morning, evening, or night) that they worked. Morning Shift Evening Shift Night Shift Influenza 19 12 17 Headache 15 33 6 Weakness 12 14 7 Shortness of Breath 6 10 7 Send data to Excel Test the hypothesis of independence. Use the =α0.10 level of significance and the P-value method with the TI-84 Plus calculator. What do you conclude? H0: The shift and reported symptoms are/are not independent. H1: The shift and reported symptoms are/are not independent. This hypothesis test is a left tailed/right tailed/two tailed test.
