Suppose you have been hired as a management consultant by a major oil company to help it optimally price gasoline at its service stations. Your client would like your team to perform a study on customers' gasoline purchasing habits when they notice an increase in the price of gas. You have access to the following groups of people: Group Description Number in Group People who have not noticed a gas-price increase 30 People who drive electric cars 35 People who have recently noticed a gas-price increase 80 People who ride their bikes to work 20 People who ride the bus 100 To set up your experiment on how price-increase awareness impacts customer behavior, you would have ______ people in your treatment group and ______ people in your control group.

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…
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…
Individuals involved in the criminal justice system are thought to display many dynamic criminogenic needs, meaning that they have areas of need that are specifically associated with a higher risk of offending (e.g., substance use, antisocial peers etc…). Research has demonstrated that addressing these needs in treatment can lead to reductions in committing new crimes when released from prison. A researcher thinks that offenders may also have some strengths that, if built upon, can also lead to further reductions in recidivism. The researcher has 10 incarcerated offenders take 2 assessments: one on dynamic risk factors and one on strengths (both interval scales) to see if these measures are related to each other. Using the data in Table 1 and testing at an alpha of 0.05, use all the steps of hypothesis testing to determine what can be said about the researcher’s hypothesis.

Once QBA 362 final exam is done, it will be time to reward Professor Hong with a well-deserved vacation. As a state employee, professor Hong hasn’t seen a raise since... well, ever.Thus, an important criterion, in fact the most important criterion is to find an exoticregion that can be visited inexpensively. There are three states of nature that could impact costs in these five areas of interest. Professor Hong has determined the average cost per day to visit each region under each of the possible states of nature. This table, which should not be construed as actual vacation advice, appears below. (Remember they are costs. Lower is better. For example, the most optimistic case is the one with lowest cost.)

In a particular year in your health jurisdiction, there were 1000 births. In reviewing their birth certificates, you found that 72 had low birthweights (<2500 gms), and 158 had mothers who smoked during pregnancy. Of the mothers who smoked during pregnancy, you found that 19 had low birth weight babies .Show calculations To explore the relationship between maternal smoking and the occurrence of low birth weight, construct the following a 2 x 2 contingency table. What are the relative risks for each of the two sets of mothers? What is the relative risk ratio?

Which concrete is best sold where? The marketing team of an engineering firm noticed that some of their concrete products are having trouble being sold at some of their distribution points. So they decided to investigate the sales for three concrete types: high-strength concrete, stamped concrete, and high-performance concrete. After consulting with the sales managers at three of their distribution points (A, B and C), they suspected two possibilities as potential reasons for the sales problem. The first is simply that some concrete types just sells better than others. The second is that in general, concrete sells in some places better than in others. So, they thought that if the first reason was true, they would have to just cut down on the production of the concrete types which don’t sell well. But if the second reason was true, then they would just limit normal distribution of concrete to places where it sells well. To clear these issues out they conducted a study. For each…
Suppose because of facility limitations, a large privately owned nursing home has been turning away large numbers of patients requesting admission. Because the nursing home receives some financial assistance from public sources, they are prohibited from making the decision concerning admission on the basis of whether payment is from Medicaid or private funds. As part of a compliance study, suppose that researchers collect the following data over a two year period. Of the 88 Medicaid patients applying for admission, 24 are admitted while 64 are not. Of the 110 privately funded patients applying for admission, 62 are admitted while 48 are not. Are admission status and funding independent? Admitted (A) Not Admitted Medicaid (M) 24 64 Privately Funded 62 48 Group of answer choices No, because P(M | A) is not equal to P(M No, because P(M | A) = P(M) Yes, because P(M | A) = P(M Yes, because P(M | A) is not equal to P(M)
Fast-food restaurants are always looking for ways to cut down on expenses. Believe it or not, such restaurants may be able to decrease yearly expenses simply by decreasing the size of the paper napkins they provide to patrons. (Such a change also puts the restaurants in a more environmentally friendly position.) Papel Paper Products, a major paper company hoping to infiltrate the restaurant supply market, is considering pitching the smaller-napkin idea to potential restaurant clients. To determine the receptiveness of different restaurants to the idea, Papel surveyed 400 fast-food establishments chosen at random, and looked at the data according to two variables: type of fast-food restaurant ("burger/sandwich", "Chinese/Mexican", or "other") and attitude toward the smaller-napkin idea ("receptive" or "not receptive.") The data are summarized in the contingency table below. Each of the 6 cells of the table contains three numbers: the first number is the observed cell frequency (fO);…
