An automobile manufacturer ships one model of its economy car in just four colours. the manufacturer’s contract with its dealers states that the colours white, red, blue, and yellows are in the proportions 9:3:3:1. A sample of 400 contains 231 white, 70 red, 79 blue, and 20 yellow cars.
(a) Estimate the proportion of each colour in the manufacturer’s shipments.
(b) Test the hypothesis that the proportions are in the ratio 9:3:3:1. Let α =0.05
ch 13. 5:
Cincinnati Paint Company sells quality brands of paints through hardware stores throughout the United States. The company maintains a large sales force who call on existing customers and look for new business. The national sales manager is investigating the relationship between the number of sales calls made and the miles driven by the sales representative. Also, do the sales representatives who drive the most miles and make the most calls necessarily earn the most in sales commissions? To investigate, the vice president of sales selected a sample of 25 sales representatives and determined:
The amount earned in commissions last month (y)
The number of miles driven last month (x1)
The number of sales calls made last month (x2)
The information is reported below.

Based on Angel et al. (2003). A fertilizer companyis trying to determine the cheapest fertilizer mix thatprovides desired amounts of nutrients. The mix ismade by combining the following fertilizers: SSA,SPO, GUR, TSP, KCI, FERT, and SPF. The mix cannot contain both GUR and TSP. The percentage ofpotassium (K), sulfur (S), calcium (Ca), sodium (Na)and phosphorus (P) in each fertilizer is listed in the fileP06_88.xlsx. For example, a pound of SSA is 16% Kand 26% Na. The mix must contain at least 600 poundsof K, 550 pounds of S, 750 pounds of Ca, 900 poundsof Na, and 750 pounds of P. The mix cannot containboth GUR and TSP, because if both are present in themix, the affect of other fertilizers is nullified. The costper pound (in cents) of each fertilizer is listed in thesame file. Develop a linear integer model to find theminimum-cost fertilizer mixture that meets the statedchemical requirements.
