Chapter 8.3, Problem 29E
Customers arrive at a movie theater at the advertised movie time only to find that they have to sit through several previews and prepreview ads before the movie starts. Many complain that the time devoted to previews is too long (The Wall Street Journal, October 12, 2012). A preliminary sample conducted by the Wall Street Journal showed that the standard deviation of the amount of time devoted to previews was 4 minutes. Use that as a planning value for the standard deviation in answering the following questions.
- a. If we want to estimate the population
mean time for previews at movie theaters with a margin of error of 75 seconds, whatsample size should be used? Assume 95% confidence. - b. If we want to estimate the population mean time for previews at movie theaters with a margin of error of 1 minute, what sample size should be used? Assume 95% confidence.

- Question 4 A university received 1000 applications for the undergraduate program every semester. Of all applicants, 150 had a CGPA score above 3.70. 520 applicants had a CGPA score between 3.50 and 3.70. 100 applicants had a score between 3.00 and 3.50. All other applicants had a score lower than 3.00. What probability will a randomly selected applicant have a score lower than 3.00? If this semester, the total of students who get the CGPA score lower than 3.00 is 20% of the total student received, and the number of the other students who get CGPA above 3.50 is the same. Find the number of students who get CGPA between 3.00 and 3.50?arrow_forwardSuppose that 10,000 people are given a drug test that is 98.2% accurate and that 500 of the people actually are drug users.

The product is currently priced at $50, but you want to determine whether a higher or lower price would result in greater profit. You estimate that the demand for the product can be modeled using a normal distribution with a mean of 100 units per day and a standard deviation of 20 units per day. The cost of producing each unit is $30, and the retailer's profit is the difference between the revenue and the cost. The retailer incurs a fixed cost of $1000 per day for operating expenses, regardless of the number of units sold. Use simulation to answer to the question.arrow_forward
- Consider an e-commerce Web site that normally runs seven days a week, 24 hours a day, generating an average of $10,000 per hour in revenue from customer orders. Experience has shown that: - the site becomes unavailable due to operating systems failure five times a week. - At each operating system failure, the site is unavailable for 2 hours. - In addition, the company estimates that upon a failure, it would spend $5,000 on advertising to counteract the negative publicity from such an incident.

We'd like to build a predictive model that can give us the best guess at what the population growth rate in a given year might be. We will calculate the population growth rate as follows:- The formula to use in calculating the growth rate is as below:- Growth_rate =( Current_year_ population - Previous_year_population) / Previous_year_population As such, we can only calculate the growth rate for the year 1961 onwards. Write a function that takes the population_df and a country_code as input and computes the population growth rate for a given country starting from the year 1961. This function must return a return a 2-d numpy array that contains the year and corresponding growth rate for the country. Function Specifications: Should take…arrow_forward
