How difficult is it to expand the original RedBrandmodel? Answer this by adding a new plant, two newwarehouses, and three new customers, and modify thespreadsheet model appropriately. You can make up therequired input data.
When using test data, why are audit teams required to prepare only one transaction to test each IT control?a. The speed and efficiency of the computer results in reduced sample sizes.b. The risk of misstatement is typically lower in an IT environment.c. Audit teams generally perform more extensive substantive testing in an IT environment, resulting in less need to test processing controls.d. In an IT environment, each transaction is handled in an identical manner.
Consider the following dialogue between a systems professional, Joe Pugh, and a manager of a department tar- geted for a new information system, Lars Meyer:Pugh: The way to go about the analysis is to first examine the old system, such as reviewing key documents and observing the workers performing their tasks. Then we can determine which aspects are working well and which should be preserved. Meyer: We have been through these types of projects before and what always ends up happening is that we do not get the new system we are promised; we get a modified version of the old system.Pugh: Well, I can assure you that will not happen this time. We just want a thorough understanding of what is working well and what is not.Meyer: I would feel much more comfortable if we first started with a list of our requirements. We should spend some time up front determining exactly what we want the system to do for my department. Then, you systems people can come in and determine what portions to…

- In a manufacturing process the assembly line speed (feet per minute) was thought to affect the number of defective parts found during the inspection process. To test this theory, managers devised a situation in which the same batch of parts was inspected visually at a variety of line speeds. They collected the following data: Develop a scatter chart with line speed as the independent variable. What does the scatter chart indicate about the relationship between line speed and the number of defective parts found? Use the data to develop an estimated regression equation that could be used to predict the number of defective parts found, given the line speed. What is the estimated regression model? Test whether each of the regression parameters β0 and β1 is equal to zero at a 0.01 level of significance. What are the correct interpretations of the estimated regression parameters? Are these interpretations reasonable? How much of the variation in the number of defective parts found for the sample data does the model you estimated in part (b) explain?arrow_forwardWhich of the following is not a benefit of using sensitivity analysis?

- Which statement is NOT true? a. Drill-down capability is an OLAP feature of data mining tools available to the user. b. The data warehouse should be separate from operational systems. c. Denormalization of data involves dividing the data into very small tables that support detailed analysis. d. Some decisions supported by a data warehouse are not fundamentally different from those that are supported by traditional databases. e. Data cleansing involves transforming data into standard business terms with standard data values.arrow_forwardA sociologist was hired by a large city hospital to investigate the relationship between the number of unauthorized days that employees are absent per year and the distance (miles) between home and work for the employees. A sample of 10 employees was chosen, and the following data were collected. a. Develop a scatter chart for these data. Does a linear relationship appear reasonable? Explain. b. Use the data to develop an estimated regression equation that could be used to predict the number of days absent given the distance to work. What is the estimated regression model? c. What is the 99% confidence interval for the regression parameter 1? Based on this interval, what conclusion can you make about the hypotheses that the regression parameter 1 is equal to zero? d. What is the 99% confidence interval for the regression parameter 0? Based on this interval, what conclusion can you make about the hypotheses that the regression parameter 0 is equal to zero? e. How much of the variation in the sample values of number of days absent does the model you estimated in part (b) explain?arrow_forwardA highway department is studying the relationship between traffic flow and speed during rush hour on Highway 193. The data in the file TrafficFlow were collected on Highway 193 during 100 recent rush hours. a. Develop a scatter chart for these data. What does the scatter chart indicate about the relationship between vehicle speed and traffic flow? b. Develop an estimated simple linear regression equation for the data. How much variation in the sample values of traffic flow is explained by this regression model? Use a 0.05 level of significance to test the relationship between vehicle speed and traffic flow. What is the interpretation of this relationship? c. Develop an estimated quadratic regression equation for the data. How much variation in the sample values of traffic flow is explained by this regression model? Test the relationship between each of the independent variables and the dependent variable at a 0.05 level of significance. How would you interpret this model? Is this model superior to the model you developed in part (b)? d. As an alternative to fitting a second-order model, fit a model using a piecewise linear regression with a single knot. What value of vehicle speed appears to be a good point for the placement of the knot? Does the estimated piecewise linear regression provide a better fit than the estimated quadratic regression developed in part (c)? Explain. e. Separate the data into two sets such that one data set contains the observations of vehicle speed less than the value of the knot from part (d) and the other data set contains the observations of vehicle speed greater than or equal to the value of the knot from part (d). Then fit a simple linear regression equation to each data set. How does this pair of regression equations compare to the single piecewise linear regression with the single knot from part (d)? In particular, compare predicted values of traffic flow for values of the speed slightly above and slightly below the knot value from part (d). f. What other independent variables could you include in your regression model to explain more variation in traffic flow?arrow_forward
