You are part of a team of researchers examining potential pay disparity between the male and female employees of a private prison. One member of your team, Mr. Green, reports that female employees are paid less than male employees. Another member of the team, Mr. Brown, argued that on average the male employees have worked at the prison longer and any pay disparity is due to seniority. Mr. Green contends that not only are female employees paid less they get smaller salary increases. Mr. Brown quits, claiming that Mr. Green is too hard to work with. Based on the data below, you have been asked to resolve the debate and answer the following questions: Male Female 300 200 Mean Salary in $1000 30 20 Mean Years with the Firm 12 8 Covariance of Salary & Years 12 2 Variance of Years with the Firm 16 4 Show your work : 1. Who is right Mr. Green, or Mr. Brown?

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?
In a recent submission to a Joint Select Committee of Parliament, the National Consumers' League said “In reality, cow’s milk especially processed cow’s milk, has been linked to a variety of health problems, including: mucous production, haemoglobin loss, childhood diabetes, heart disease, arteriosclerosis, arthritis, kidney stones, mood swings, depression, irritability, allergies.” Researchers know this to be true, though the Committee rejected the submission. Suppose that 34% of the population has mood swings, allergies, irritability and depression (MAID) and is known to consume dairy products. Also, 80% of the populace consumes dairy products. Suppose a randomly chosen dairy products user is tested, what is the probability this person has MAID? Select one: a. 0.425 b. 0.460 c. 0.140 d. 0.272

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…

To increase the response rate to mail questionnaires, researchers sometimes give monetary incentives as a reward to respondents for their cooperation. Could there be situations where a relatively large reward — e.g., rewarding the respondent with $30 for answering 10 short questionnaire questions — might end up resulting in biased answers from the respondents? If so, give a real or hypothetical example of such an occasion.
To the Internal Revenue Service, the reasonableness of total itemized deductions depends on the taxpayer's adjusted gross income. Large deductions, which include charity and medical deductions, are more reasonable for taxpayers with large adjusted gross incomes. If a taxpayer claims larger than average itemized deductions for a given level of income, the chances of an IRS audit are increased. Data (in thousands of dollars) on adjusted gross income and the average or reasonable amount of itemized deductions follow. Adjusted Gross Income($1,000s) Itemized Deductions($1,000s) 22 9.6 27 9.6 32 10.1 48 11.1 65 11.5 85 19.7 120 23.5 (a) Develop a scatter diagram for these data with adjusted gross income as the independent variable. A scatter diagram has 7 points plotted on it. The horizontal axis ranges from 0 to 140 and is labeled: Adjusted Gross Income ($1,000s). The vertical axis ranges from 0 to 30 and is labeled: Itemized Deductions ($1,000s). The points are…
