Problem Text A fruit importer faces the weekly problem of meeting demand for bananas at three regional customer centers (Denver, Kansas City, and Fort Worth) from the supply available at the source countries: Honduras and Costa Rica. Bananas are shipped from the sources, to two port facilities at Miami and San Diego. Miami is also a regional customer center. See the network diagram below. Supplies and demands (in hundreds of pounds) for the coming week are shown in the tables below. Transportation costs are roughly proportional to the amount of bananas and the distance the product must be shipped. The number of miles (in hundreds) between locations is given in the next two tables. That is, treat these values as the unit costs for the problem. Source Supply (lbs.x100) 1. Honduras 200 2. Costa Rica 100 Customer Demand (lbs.x100) 3. Miami 70 5. Denver 80 6. Kansas City 60 7. Fort Worth 85 Distance from Source to Port (miles x 100) 3. Miami 4. San Diego 1. Honduras 9 18 2.

Many variables influence the price of a company’s common stock, including company-specific internal variables such as product quality and financial performance, and external market variables such as interest rates, exchange rates and stock market performance.
The attached table contains quarterly data on three such external variables (x1, x2, and x3) and the price y of Ford Motor Company’s common stock (adjusted for stock splits). The Japanese yen exchange rate, x1, measures the strength of the yen versus the US dollar. The higher the rate, the cheaper are Japanese imports – such as the automobiles of Toyota, Nissan, Honda, and Subaru – to US consumers.
Similarly, the higher the deutsche mark exchange rate, x2, the less expensive are BMW’s and Mercedes Benz’s to US consumers. Finally, the S&P 500 Index, x3, is a general measure of the performance of the market for stocks in US firms. Answer the questions below using the critical value approach and/or the p-value…

- Problem Set 2: Research Scenario: The Davidson Trauma Scale (DTS) (Davidson, 1997) is a self-report instrument that indicates the presence and severity of trauma symptoms. It is often used to detect PTSD, with scores ranging from 0 to 136, and a mean in the general population of 11 (Davidson et al., 2002). A clinical psychologist is interested in measuring trauma in a sample of paramedics at the hospital where she works. Using the data in the table below, set up your data file in SPSS and conduct a one-sample t test to determine whether this sample scores higher than general population on the DTS. Create a histogram to display the distribution of the sample’s DTS scores. DTS Scores 23 69 45 13 19 57 78 59 68 83 32 41 12 19 27 10 what is the SPSS output of the t test ?arrow_forwardProblem #2.
