An exhibitor at an arts and crafts fair sells only 2 types of products – jams and marinades. When a customer enters the exhibitor’s booth, the exhibitor believes that there is a probability of .40 that the customer would purchase jam. If the customer purchases jam, there a probability of .30 that the customer would also purchase marinade. If the customer does not purchase jam, there is a probability of .5 that the customer would purchase marinade

A furniture supplier, Acme Chairs, Inc., manufactures a Basic office chair and a Deluxe office chair. Each Basic chair costs $25.00 to manufacture, and each Deluxe office chair costs $40.00 to manufacture. Acme Chairs wishes to determine the optimal production quantities per day for each chair model in order to minimize overall total cost.
The production of each chair requires three types of materials: Wood, Primer, and Paint. The amount of material available per day to manufacture the chairs is as follows:
30 units of wood.
600 oz. of primer.
750 oz. of paint.
Each chair requires the materials as shown below:
Wood (units) |
1.25 |
2.50 |
Primer (oz.) |
3.00 |
7.50 |
Paint (oz.) |

Prior to the 1999-2000 season in the NBA, the league made several rule changes designed to increase scoring. The average number of points scored per game in the previous season had been 183.2. Let μ denote the mean number of points per game in the 1999-2000 NBA season.
a. If the rule change had no effect on scoring, what value would μ have? Is this the null or alternative hypothesis?
b. If the rule change had the desired effect on scoring, what would be true about the value of μ? Is this a null or alternate hypothesis?
c. Based on your answers to part a and b clearly sate Hoand Ha using the proper notation.

The linear model below explores a potential association between property damage and wind speed based on observational data from 94 hurricanes that hit the United States between 1950 and 2012. The variables are
Damage: property damage in millions of U.S. dollars (adjusted for inflation to 2014) for each hurricane
Landfall.Windspeed: Maximum sustained windspeed in miles per hour measured along U.S. coast for each hurricane
* Assume that the sample data satisfies all assumptions for linear regression.
Level of significance = 0.05.

(a) Write the equation for the linear model using the variables Damages and Landfall Windspeed, taking the results of the t-tests into account.
(b) A hurricane is defined as a storm with wind speeds greater than 74 miles per hour. Interpret the value of the intercept in connection to the real-life context of this model (two or three sentences). Hint: Is the intercept truly meaningful, given the definition of a hurricane?
(c) The value of Pearson’s correlation coefficient for Damages and Landfall.Windspeed is 0.2529438. Calculate and interpret the value of R2 , denoted [A] in the table, in relation to the predictor and response variables.
(d) The range of observed maximum wind speeds in the sample data is 75 – 190 miles per hour. Is it appropriate to use the linear model to predict the cost of damage for a hurricane with a maximum wind speed of 150 miles per hour? Why or why not? If so, estimate the typical value of damages (specifying units).
(e) Would it be appropriate to use the linear model to predict the cost of damage for a hurricane with a maximum wind speed of 225 miles per hour? Why or why not? If so, estimate the typical value of damages (specifying units).

A poll was taken this year asking college students if they considered themselves overweight. A similar poll was taken 5 years ago. Five years ago, a sample of 270 students showed that 120 considered themselves overweight. This year a poll of 300 students showed that 140 considered themselves overweight. At a 5% level of significance, test to see if there is any difference in the proportion of college students who consider themselves overweight between the two polls. What is your conclusion?

Four unbiased coins, a quarter (25 cent coin), a dime (10 cents coin) and two different nickles (5 cent coins, one minted before year 2000 and other after Year 2000) are tossed simultaneously. If a head shows up on any coin, you are paid the amount on the coin but for tail, you are paid no money for that coin. Find the probability that upon a single simultaneous toss of all four coins, you are paid a total of 35 cents or more
