Federated South Insurance Company has developed a new screening program for selecting new sales agents. Their past experience indicates that 20% of the new agents hired fail to produce the minimum sales in their first year and are dismissed. Their expectation is that this new screening program will reduce the percentage of failed new agents to 15% or less. If that occurs, they would save $1,000,000 in recruiting and training costs each year. At the end of the first year they want to develop an evaluation to determine if the new program is successful. The following questions are an important part of their research design.A total of 20 new agents were selected.a. If this group performs at the same level as past groups, what is the probability 17 or more successfully meet their minimum sales goals in the first year?b. What is the probability 19 or more reach their minimum sales goals given performance at the same level?c. If the program has actually increased the probability of success to…
Gulf Coast Electronics is ready to award contracts to suppliers for providing reservoir capacitors for use in its electronic devices. For the past several years, Gulf Coast Electronics has relied on two suppliers for its reservoir capacitors: Able Controls and Lyshenko Industries. A new firm, Boston Components, inquired into the possibility of providing a portion of the reservoir capacitors needed by Gulf Coast. The quality of products provided by Lyshenko Industries has been extremely high; in fact, only 0.5% of the capacitors provided by Lyshenko had to be discarded because of quality problems. Able Controls has also had a high quality level historically, producing an average of only 1% unacceptable capacitors. Because Gulf Coast Electronics has had no experience with Boston Components, it estimated Boston’s defective rate to be 10%. Gulf Coast would like to determine how many reservoir capacitors should be ordered from each firm to obtain 75,000 acceptable-quality capacitors to use…
After examining these data for all the jurisdictions, someone notes that certain areas have an unusually high “percent of 18-64 yr-olds with no high school diploma.” Based on this finding, this individual concludes that the high percentages are due to the rising population of immigrants in those areas. Further, the individual argues that any estimates of the associated “percent of low-income working families” in those areas should be recalculated after removing this sub-population from the data set, as they are causing the area to “look bad”. In addition to thinking critically, use the key rules about linear regression and extrapolation to write a statistically appropriate and socially responsible response to the individual’s conclusion and argument.
Create a conceptual model and also develop null and alternate hypotheses of the following. The labor force heterogeneity enhances more to organizational effectiveness because each group brings its own special expertise and skills to the workplace. Collaboration can be leveraged, however, only if managers know how to tackle the special talents of the different working group; otherwise, they will remain unexploited.
State the null hypothesis if traffic department wants to test whether the modification reduces the number of traffic accidents in Central. Continue from part a, state the corresponding alternative hypothesis of the test. Continue from part a, calculate the test statistics of the test. Continue from part c, what is the critical value of the test if the significant level is 1%? According to the test, is it reasonable to conclude that the modification reduced the number of traffic accidents?
A cellphone provider has the business objective of wanting to determine the proportion of subscribers who would upgrade to a new cellphone with improved features if it were made available at a substantially reduced cost. Data are collected from a random sample of 500 subscribers. The results indicate that 124 of the subscribers would upgrade to a new cellphone at a reduced cost. Reducing the price will be profitable if at least 20% of the subscribers would upgrade. Complete parts (a) and (b) below. Question content area bottom Part 1 a. At the 0.05 level of significance, is there evidence that more than 20% of the customers would upgrade to a new cellphone at a reduced cost?

A cellphone provider has the business objective of wanting to determine the proportion of subscribers who would upgrade to a new cellphone with improved features if it were made available at a substantially reduced cost. Data are collected from a random sample of 600 subscribers. The results indicate that 131 of the subscribers would upgrade to a new cellphone at a reduced cost. Reducing the price will be profitable if at least 20% of the subscribers would upgrade. Complete parts (a) and (b) below. Question content area bottom Part 1 a. At the 0.01 level of significance, is there evidence that more than 20% of the customers would upgrade to a new cellphone at a reduced cost?

A fibre glass company is considering the possibility of introducing a new product.Because of the expense involved in developing the initial moulds and acquiring thenecessary equipment to produce fibreglass, it has decided to conduct a pilot study tomake sure that the market will be adequate. They estimate that the pilot study will cost£12,000. Furthermore, the pilot study can be either successful or unsuccessful. The basicdecisions are to build a large manufacturing facility, a small manufacturing facility, orno facility at all. With a favourable market, the company can expect to make £100,000from the large facility or £60,000 from the smaller facility. If the market is unfavourable,however, they estimate that they would lose £40,000 with a large facility, while theywould lose only £30,000 with the small facility. The company estimates that theprobability of a favourable market given a successful pilot study is 0.7. The probabilityof an unfavourable market given an unsuccessful pilot…

State the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses if the mean cost for the currentproduction method is $220 per hour.b. what is the type i error in this situation? what are the consequences of making this error?c. what is the type ii error in this situation? what are the consequences of making this error?
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 snack food company produces potato chips on three different production lines. Line 1 produces 20% of the total output. Line 2 produces 30%, and Line 3 produces the balance. Each line is sampled to ensure the salt content is within the proper range. Historically 4% of Line 1’s output does not meet the salt standards, 3% of Line 2’s output fails to meet the standards, and 2% of Line 3’s output does not meet the salt standards. A random bag of potato chips was selected and did not meet the salt standards. What is the probability that the chips were produced on Line 3?
