Chapter 3.10, Problem 5A
Parents with young babies buy a lot of diapers (to say the very least), so getting the best deal is pretty important. Comparing prices can be harder than you would think, though-retailers don’t all sell diapers in the same size boxes. A recent check of prices on Pampers Swaddlers in Size 1 revealed the following:
Amazon offers an interesting deal: If you pay $99 per year to join their Amazon Family club, you get 20% off all diaper purchases.

The trend in home building in recent years has been to emphasize open spaces and great rooms, rather than smaller living rooms and family rooms. A builder of speculative homes in the college community of Oxford, Ohio, had been building such homes, but his homes had been taking many months to sell and had been selling for substantially less than the asking price. In order to determine what types of homes would attract residents of the community, the builder contacted a statistician at a local college. The statistician went to a local real estate agency and obtained the data contained in file OxHome. This data includes the sales price (measured in thousand dollars), square footage, number of rooms, number of bedrooms, and age for each of 60 single-family residences recently sold in the community.
Using this data, a regression model was built to predict the sales price of houses in this community. The regression equation from the model is:
sales price (thousand dollars) = 19.5 + 0.1079…

- Ajax has established a new sandwich shop format for airports and train stations.Here, the sandwitches are only made from a specially made,long,individual loaf of bread.But the innovations is that the sandwiches are not made ahead in large batches.Intead,a few of each variety of sandwich are made at a time,in the shop,with the result being a better ability to exactly match supply to demand. If prior to this change the shop has roughly 5 percent leftovers of one-half of the sandwich varieties each day,but could have sold 10 percent more of the two best sellers that day,what are the potential benefits of the new format if the store sells 12 different sandwiches each with an average demand of 20 per day?arrow_forwardGeneral Buck Turgidson is preparing to make his annual budget presentation to the U.S. Senate and is speculating about his chances of getting all or part of his requested budget approved. From his 20 years of experience in making these requests, he has deduced that his chances of getting between 50 and 74 percent of his budget approved are twice as good as those of getting between 75 and 99 percent approved, and two and one-half times as good as those of getting between 25 and 49 percent approved. Further, the general believes that there is no chance of less than 25 percent of his budget being approved. Finally, the entire budget has been approved only once during the general’s tenure, and the general does not expect this pattern to change. What are the probabilities of 0–24 percent, 25–49 percent, 50–74 percent, 75–99 percent, and 100 percent approval, according to the general?arrow_forwardA chef is trying out a new recipe he has been working on and wants to see if it will sell better than his old one. To find out, he performs an experiment where he randomly assigns 20 people to try his new recipe and 20 people to try his old one. He asks each group how much they would be willing to pay for their food, and he finds that the group with the old recipe would pay an average of $20.00 and the second would pay an average of $26.00. He then performs an independent samples t-test between these groups. a. Suppose the sample variance for the price of the chef’s old recipe is $2.00, and the sample variance for the new recipe is $3.00. Perform a one-tailed t-test at a significance level of α = 0.01 and explain what the result means (how does the new recipe compare to the old one?). b. To evaluate the magnitude of effect size, compute the estimated Cohen’s d. Briefly describe what it means, and comment on the strength of the effect: is it weak, moderate or strong?arrow_forward

But . . . bank robbery is not all it is cracked up to be.” The researchers concentrated on the factors that determine the amount of proceeds from bank robberies, and thus were able to work out both the economics of attempting one and of preventing one. In particular, the researchers revealed that the return on an average bank robbery per person per raid is modest indeed—so modest that it is not worthwhile for the banks to spend too much money on such preventative measures as fast-rising screens at tellers’ windows.

The lifestyle of living in Canada on an annual income of 75,000 $ was the standard against which living in foreign cities was compared. A comparable living standard in Perth Australia and Mexico City was attained for 64,000$. Suppose an executive wants to determine whether there is any difference in the average annual cost of supporting her family of four in the manner to which they are acccustomed in Perth, Mexico City. She uses the data randomly gathered from 11 random families in each city. She found that the sample mean and standard deviation for Perth Australia was 67,381.82 and 2,296.44 respectively. The mean and standard deviation for the sample of Mexico City was 63,436.36$ and 1,568.61 respectively. She used an alpha of 0.01 to test this difference. She assumes the annual cost is normally distributed and the population variances are equal.

He wonders if this is reallyso, and if it is, can this information help him plan his operationsbetter by forecasting the quantity of his engineering servicesrequired by construction firms in each quarter of the year? Thefollowing table presents the sales of his services and total amountsof contracts for highway construction over the past eight quarters: a) Using this data, develop a regression equation for predictingthe level of demand of NCEC’s services. b) Determine the coefficient of correlation and the standard errorof the estimate.arrow_forward
