A iPhone store starts by selling 100 iPhone pre-ordered in week zero and expects to sell an average of 15%more each week after that. How many iPhone is the store expected to sell in week 4?
In 2011, home prices and mortgage rates fell so far that in a number of cities the
monthly cost of owning a home was less expensive than renting. The following data
show the average asking rent and the monthly mortgage on the median-priced home
(including taxes and insurance) for 10 cities where the average monthly mortgage
payment was less than the average asking rent (The Wall Street Journal, November
26–27, 2011).

Develop a scatter diagram for these data, treating the average asking rent as the inde-
pendent variable. Does a simple linear regression model appear to be appropriate?
b. Use a simple linear regression model to develop an estimated regression equation to
predict the monthly mortgage on the median-priced home given the average asking…
A five-year project requires an investment of -112 and has the following cash flows in years 1 through 5, respectively (all cash
flows in dollars): 48, 88, 34, 15, and 52. Find the difference between the Cauchy upper bound and the Cauchy lower bound. Write
your answer as a percentage with two decimals; e.g., 23.55% but do not write the % sign. (Acceptable error = 0.50%)

- The amount of income spent on housing is an important component of the cost of living. The total costs of housing for homeowners might include mortgage payments, property taxes, and utility costs (water, heat, electricity). An economist selected a sample of 20 homeowners in New England and then calculated these total housing costs as a percent of monthly income, 5 years ago and now. The information is reported below. Is it reasonable to conclude the percent is less now than 5 years ago?

Suppose there is a 14% chance ofneeding a screen repair in the next year and an 11% chance of needing a camera repair.Suppose a screen repair will cost the store $155 and a camera repair will cost the store $79.How much annual profit does the store expect for each warranty purchased? 2.

However, the current year seems to be different from those years as the company is expecting a decline in profit; which is estimated to be about 70% below the target. The manager now is in a dilemma … asking himself/herself “What happened, why this decline in profit?” The Manager then asked the company Accountant to give him/her the data on sales and advertising cost for the last 10 years – he/she wants these data to determine whether the company can live without advertising, as advertising cost happens to be substantial.
