- The manager of the purchasing department of a large banking organization would like to develop a model to predict the amount of time it takes to process invoices. Data are collected from a sample of 30 days with the following results: Relating time to invoices processed.

A survey by Social Media Examiner reported that 77% of B2B marketers (marketers that focus primarily on attracting businesses) plan to increase their use of LinkedIn, as compared to 54% of B2C marketers (marketers that primarily target consumers). The survey was based on 1,184 B2B marketers and 1,703 B2C marketers. The following table summarizes the results: Give an example of a simple Give an example of a joint What is the complement of a marketer who plans to increase use of LinkedIn?

They found that children who participated in the program showed higher levels of educational attainment, socioeconomic status, and job skills, as well as lower rates of substance abuse, felony arrest, and incarceration, than those who did not receive school-based early education. One possible theory for the success of this program is that improving school readiness improved the children's success in school. The improved success in school in turn improved their readiness for adulthood, resulting in increased job skills and socioeconomic status as well as lower rates of substance abuse.arrow_forward
- In a study conducted in the Science Department of Faculty of Science, Technology and Human Development in a University; the researcher examined the influence of the drug succinylcholine on the circulation levels of androgens in the blood. Blood samples from wild, free-ranging deer were obtained via the jugular vein immediately after an intramuscular injection of succinylcholine using darts and a capture gun. Deer were bled again approximately 30 minutes after the injection and then released. The level of androgens at time of capture and 30 minutes later, measured in nanograms per milliliter (ng/ml), for 15 deers as in Table Q1. Assuming that the populations of androgen at time of injection and 30 minutes later are normally distributed:i) Find the average and standard deviation of this studyii)Determine the critical region of this problem.iii) Test at the 0.05 level of significance whether the androgen concentrations are altered after 30 minutes of restraint.arrow_forwardDavid's Landscaping has collected data on home values (in thousands of $) and expenditures (in thousands of $) on landscaping with the hope of developing a predictive model to help marketing to potential new clients.

The scatter diagram has 14 points. A pattern goes down and right from (6.5, 800) to (21.9, 198). The points are scattered moderately from the pattern.

(See D. Horsky and P. Swyngedouw, "Does it pay to change your company's name? A stock market perspective," Marketing Science v.6, pp. 320-35,1987.) Suppose that, to test the profitability of name changes in the more recent market (the past five years), we analyze the stock prices of a large sample of corporations shortly after they changed names, and we find that the mean relative increase in stock price was about 0.87 %, with a standard deviation of 16 %. Suppose that this mean and standard deviation apply to the population of all companies that changed names during the past five years. Complete the following statements about the distribution of relative increases in stock price for all companies that changed names during the past five years. (a) According to Chebyshev's theorem, at least…arrow_forward
- A recent report by PEW Research Center, published on February 25, 2022 summarizes American views on Russia threat as follows. “When it comes to rising U.S.- Russia tensions, an early January survey found that 26% of Americans considered the Russian military buildup near Ukraine to be a major threat to U.S. interests, while 33% said it was a minor threat to U.S. interests. Another 7% said it was no threat at all. A relatively large share of U.S. adults (33%) said they were not sure how Russian actions toward Ukraine affected U.S. interests.” Answer the questions based on the proportions listed above. (a) Use the binomial distribution to estimate the probability that more than half of 20 randomly selected US adults consider Russian military buildup near Ukraine to be a major or a minor threat to U.S. interests. (b) Use the normal approximation to estimate the probability that more than half of 20 randomly selected US adults consider Russian military buildup near Ukraine to be a major or…arrow_forwardFinancial analysts have developed models based on financial ratios that predict whether or not a company will go bankrupt within the next year. In a test of one such model, the model correctly predicted the bankruptcy of 88% of firms that in fact did fail. The model also correctly predicted the non-bankruptcy for 82% of firms that did not fail. Suppose that the model maintains the same reliability when applied to a new group of 82 firms, of which 7 fail in the year following the time at which the model makes its predictions. Define the event F as firm failure and event B as the outcome of a test for bankruptcy. Given this information, what is the probability that a firm will fail P(F)?arrow_forwardWhat do millennials around the world want in a job ?

- Define the estimation of Dynamic Causal Effects with Exogenous Regressors?arrow_forwardThe study “Evaluation of Prescribed Burning in Relation to Available Deer Browse” was undertaken at the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in 1964 to determine if fire can be used as a viable management tool to increase the amount of forage available to deer during the crucial months in late winter and spring. Calcium is a required element for plants and animals. The amount taken up and stored in the plant is closely correlated to the amount present in the soil. It was hypothesized that fire may change the calcium levels present in the soil and thus affect the amount available to the deer. A large tract of land in the Fishburn Forest was selected for a prescribed burn. Soil samples were taken from 12 plots of equal area just prior to the burn on May 20, 1964, and analyzed for calcium. On July 16, 1964, postburn calcium levels were analyzed from the same plots. These values, in kilograms per plot, are presented in the following table. Do these data support the…arrow_forwardDetermine the heteroscedasticity in a scatter plot?arrow_forward
