Large companies typically collect volumes of data before designing a product, not only to gain information as to whether the product should be released, but also to pinpoint which markets would be the best targets for the product. Several months ago, I was interviewed by such a company while shopping at a mall. I was asked about my exercise habits and whether or not I'd be interested in buying a video/DVD designed to teach stretching exercises. I fall into the male, 18 – 35-years-old category, and I guessed that, like me, many males in that category would not be interested in a stretching video. My friend Diane falls in the female, older-than-35 category, and I was thinking that she might like the stretching video. After being interviewed, I looked at the interviewer's results. Of the 93 people in my market category who had been interviewed, 17 said they would buy the product, and of the 113 people in Diane's market category, 34 said they would buy it. Assuming that these data came…

Because of safety considerations, in May 2003 the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) changed its guidelines for how small commuter airlines must estimate passenger weights. Under the old rule, airlines used 180 pounds as a typical passenger weight (including carry-on luggage) in warm months and 185 pounds as a typical weight in cold months. A journal reported that an airline conducted a study to estimate average passenger plus carry-on weights. They found an average summer weight of 183 pounds and a winter average of 190 pounds. Suppose that each of these estimates was based on a random sample of 100 passengers and that the sample standard deviations were 15 pounds for the summer weights and 21 pounds for the winter weights. (a) Construct a 95% confidence interval for the mean summer weight (including carry-on luggage) of this airline's passengers. (Use technology to calculate the critical value. Round your answers to three decimal places.) ( , )…

An agent for a property management company would like to be able to predict the monthly rental cost for apartments based on the size of the apartment as defined by square footage. A sample of the rent of 25 apartments in a college rental neighborhood was selected, and the information collected revealed the following: Apartment Size (Sq. Ft.) Monthly Rent ($) 1 850 950 2 1,450 1,600 3 1,085 1,200 4 1,232 1,500 5 718 950 6 1,485 1,700 7 1,136 1,650 8 726 935 9 700 875 10 956 1,150 11 1,100 1,400 12 1,285 1,650 13 1,985 2,300 14 1,369 1,800 15 1,175 1,400 16 1,225 1,450 17 1,245 1,100 18 1,259 1,700 19 1,150 1,200 20 896 1,150 21 1,361 1,600 22 1,040 1,650 23 755 1,200 24 1,000 800 25 1,200 1,750 e) Determine the coefficient of determination r2 and then completely interpret…

If so, for which group?
In an attempt to reduce the growth of its population, China instituted a policy limiting a familyto one child. Rural Chinese suggested revising the policy to limit families to one son. Assumingthe suggested policy is adopted and that any birth is as likely to produce a boy as a girl, and thesuccessive births are independent, explain the following: (a) What would be the average family size? (b)What would be the ratio of newborn boys to newborn girls?
