1. Using the Data Set, create and
calculate the following in Excel®:
Determine the range of values in which you would expect to find
the average weekly sales for the entire sales force in your company
90% of the time, and calculate the following:
A. The impact of increasing the confidence level to 95%
B. The impact of increasing the sample size to 150, assuming the
same mean and standard deviation, but allowing the confidence level
to remain at 90%...
A large data set is separated into a training set and a test
set.
(a) Is it necessary to do this randomly? Why or why not?
(b) In R how might this separation be done in a reproducible
way?
(c) The statistician chooses 20% of the data for training and
80% for testing. Comment briefly on this—2 or 3 lines would be
plenty.
Solve each measuring problem, or explain why it can’t be done.
(You have unlimited water.)
Using 6 and 15 gallon jugs, measure
(i) 3 gallons (ii) 4 gallons (iii) 5 gallons
If you were given a large data set, such as the sales
over the last year of our top 100 customers, what might you be able
to do with these data? What might be the benefits of describing the
data?
Problem Set 1 You are the owner of a large data-services firm
and are deciding on the purchase of a new hardware cooling system
that you expect will yield $233,300 in cost-savings per year for
the next 15 years. The installation of this cooling system will
cost $3,000,000.
1. At face value, does this system seem profitable? By how
much?
2. Assume that your company uses a discount rate of 6%.
a. What is the Net Present Value (NPV) of...

Using a set of data, you will graph a budget constraint and
express it as an algebraic equation. You will also determine the
combination of two goods that gives the maximum total utility.
Instruction: Suppose that as a consumer you have $34 per month
to spend for munchies, either on pizzas which cost $6 each or on
Twinkies which cost $4 each. Suppose further that your preferences
are given by the following total utility table.
