The owner of a restaurant that serves Continental-style entrées has the business objective of learning more about the patterns of patron demand during the Friday-to-Sunday weekend time period. She decided to study the demand for dessert during this time period. In addition to studying whether a dessert was ordered, she will study the gender of the individual and whether a beef entrée was ordered. Data were collected from 630 customers and organized in the following contingency tables:

Deluxe River Cruises operates a fleet of river vessels. The fleet has two types of

vessels: A type A vessel has 60 deluxe cabins and 160 standard cabins, whereas a type B vessel has 80 deluxe

cabins and 120 standard cabins. Under a charter agreement with the Odyssey Travel Agency, Deluxe River

Cruise sis to provide Odyssey with a minimum of 360 deluxe and 680 standard cabins for their 15-day cruise

in May. It costs $44000 to operate a type A vessel and $54000 to operate a type B vessel for that period.

i.) How many of each type of vessel should be used to keep the operating costs to a minimum?

ii.) Find the range of values that the cost of operating a type A vessel can assume without changing the

optimal solution.

iii.) Find the range of values that the requirement for deluxe cabins can assume.

iv.) Find the shadow price for the requirement for deluxe cabins.

Adults aged 18 years old and older were randomly selected for a survey on obesity. Adults are considered obese if their body mass index (BMI) is at least 30. The researchers wanted to determine if the proportion of women in the south who are obese is less than the proportion of southern men who are obese. The results are shown in the table below.

# who are obese sample size
Men 42,769 155,525
Women 67,169 248,775

  1. Subjects in a verbal learning study learned two equivalently difficult words to a criterion of one complete trial through the list without error. In one condition, the subjects were tested with a vocal of the song “Tomorrow” from the musical Annie as background music; in the other condition, the song and its loudness were the same, but the music was an instrumental arrangement. The dependent variable was trials to criterion. Conditions were counterbalanced so that half of the subjects had the instrumental condition first and half had the vocal first. Were there differences in learning under the two different conditions?

To assess a cola video ad, a random sample of 38 individuals from a target audience was selected to participate in a copy test. Participants viewed two ads, one of which was the ad being tested. Participants then answered a series of questions about how much they liked the ads. An adindex measure was created and stored in Adindex; the higher the adindex value, the more likeable the ad. Compute descriptive statistics and perform an appropriate test to determine if there is a difference between the two ads. State your hypotheses, your findings and conclusions in a report. (Use the 0.05 level of significance.)

For the next 4 questions, please read the description below.

A marketing company wants to know the mean price of new vehicles sold in an up-and‑coming area of town. Marketing strategists takes a simple random sample of 756 cars, and find that the sample has a mean of $27,400 and a standard deviation of $1300.

1. Assume that the population standard deviation is unknown. What is the error of estimate for a 95% confidence interval?

2. Assume that the population standard deviation is known to be $1500. What is the upper bound for a 98% confidence interval?

3. Assume that the population standard deviation is known to be $1500. Find the error of estimate for a 99% confidence interval.

4. Assume that the population standard deviation is known. If the marketing strategists want the 90% confidence interval to be within $50 of the population mean, how many cars at minimum should they sample?
