The McBurger Corporation developed a new vegan burger and introduced the product to several test markets. The burger comes with the non-meat based patty and the usual accoutrements such as lettuce, tomato, ketchup, mustard, pickle, onion, special sauce, and a bun. The company is interested in customer response, and surveyed customers about satisfaction with the burger. A data analyst proposed a multiple regression model with an interval level dependent variable of repurchase (measured by a ratings thermometer from 0 (will definitely not repurchase) to 100 (will repurchase). The data analyst is not sure on what independent variables will best predict repurchase, and needs your help. What independent variables would you include in the multiple regression model? Explain your reasoning for including each independent variable. Which variable would be your best predictor of repurchase?

Identify at least four independent variables.

The prevalence of a disease D in the population is 10%. A new test is introduced by a laboratory with the following characteristics. The laboratory notes that if someone has the disease, his or her test will be positive 90% of the time (P(pos|D) = 0.90). However, a completely healthy individual will test positive with probability 0.06 (P (pos|Dc) = .06). (a) If we randomly select 5 people from this population, what is the probability that all of them...

A new actuarial test (Test A) was developed as a possible replacement for an old actuarial test (Test B). An actuary claimed that the mean time to complete the new test A was more than the mean time to complete an old test B. The summary data for completion time (in minutes) are as follows. Test A : n=9, X bar=160 minutes, S2=180 minutes Test B : n=10 X bar=150 minutes, S2=30 minutes (a) At α=10%, use the Classical approach...
