- PLEASE ANSWER SUB-PART (d) One of the important statistics of interest to all 4-year colleges and Universities is student retention rate. It is defined as “the percentage of a school's first-time, first-year undergraduate students who continue at that school the next year”. A very small 4-year college in the Midwest claims to have a retention rate of 85% and admitted 60 Freshmen in Fall 2020. Assuming the claim is true: a. how many freshmen would you expect to continue into their sophomore year in Fall 2021? b. what is the probability that no less than 55 freshmen will continue into their second year in Fall 2021? c. what is the probability that no less than 50 and no more than 55 freshmen will continue into their second year in Fall 2021? d. After doing some research, you find out that this college admitted 70 freshmen in Fall 2019 and 65 of them continued on to their second year in Fall 2020. Are you inclined to believe their 85% retention claim?

- Consumer: Radon Gas “Radon: The Problem No One Wants to Face” is the title of an article appearing in Consumer Reports. Radon is a gas emitted from the ground that can collect in houses and buildings. At certain levels it can cause lung cancer. Radon concentrations are measured in picocuries per liter (pCi/L). A radon level of pCi/L is considered “acceptable.” Radon levels in a house vary from week to week. In one house, a sample of weeks had the following readings for radon level (in pCi/L): 1.9 2.8 5.7 4.2 1.9 8.6 3.9 7.2 Find the mean, median, and mode. Find the sample standard deviation, coefficient of variation, and range.arrow_forwardjust need part d please The following is a record of Michael Jordan's remarkable basketball career up through 1998 (when he retired for the second time).

The restaurant manager is trying to determine the amount of sales lost while it was shut down during March and April because of the outbreak. a. Use exponential smoothing, with α =.2, to develop a forecast for March and April. (Hint: Use the forecast for March 2020 as the actual sales in March 2020 in developing the forecast for April 2020.) b.
