Smallest value First quartile Median Third quartile Largest value Compute the lower and upper limits. Lower limit Upper limit Do the data contain any outliers? Johnson & Johnson's sales are the largest on the list at $14,138 million. Suppose a data entry error (a transposition) had been made and the sales had been entered as $41,138 million. Would the method of detecting outliers in part (c) identify this problem and allow for correction of the data entry error? Which of the following box plots accurately displays the data set?

The weights of newborn baby boys born at a local hospital are believed to have a normal distribution with a mean weight of 3915 grams and a variance of 429,025. If a newborn baby boy born at the local hospital is randomly selected, find the probability that the weight will be less than 4570 grams. Round your answer to four decimal places.

Last month, Uber reported a third-quarter loss of nearly $1.5 billion, bringing its 2017 year-to-date red ink to $3.2 billion. Losses of this magnitude are clearly not sustainable, and call for an explanation of why Uber has been unable to rein in ballooning costs and what it will need to do to survive, let alone prosper.

Sarah scores an 85 on an (IQ) test with a mean of 94 and a standard deviation of 10. At what percentile rank is she with respect to the rest of the population?

You receive a year-end statement from your broker that details your stock ownership over the years, and the total gain or loss over the holding period for each. You want to devise a method to make a meaningful comparison of the returns in order to determine which stock performed the best and which performed the worst. The problem is, the holding periods all have different starting and ending dates and are different lengths.

Stock returns
Stock   Buy date   Buy price (P0)   Sell date   Sell price (P1)   Total return
((P1-P0)/P0)
A   1/1/2002   16.00   1/1/2016   25.00   56.3%
B   1/1/2014   87.00   1/1/2015   80.00   -8.0%
C   1/1/2008   26.00   1/1/2014   28.00   7.7%
D   1/1/2001   17.50   1/1/2008   23.50   34.3%
E   1/1/2004   76.00   1/1/2007   68.00   -10.5%
F   1/1/2006   12.00   1/1/2016   13.00   8.3%


What is the best way to compare the returns of these stocks?
   Use the return over the entire holding period for each stock to compare
   Using the total return over the holding period for each stock, take the geometric mean to get the one year average return, and compare
   Find the dollar change of each stock (Sell price minus Buy price) and compare
   Using the total return over the holding period for each stock, take the straight average to get the one year average return, and compare

13. Calculate the expected loss EL if k = $22,000, sigma = 0.7 and D = 0.5.

14. A total of 10 units were tested over a 500-hour period. A total of 4 units failed after 10, 20, 70, and 400 hours. The other 6 did not fail during the 500-hour test. Calculate the failure rate.

16. A component has a reliability of 0.99 for 600 hours of normal use. Determine the failure rate.

Using the standard Normal distribution tables, what is the area under the standard Normal curve corresponding to Z < 1.1?

Give a plausible example of a three-variable research problem in which partial correlation would be a useful analysis. Define X1, X2, and Y. Make sure that you indicate which of your three variables is the "controlled for" variable ( X2). What results might you expect to obtain for this partial correlation, and how would you interpret your results (e.g., spurious correlation, mediation, moderation, and so on)?

Please use Excel and show steps!! Greentrop Pharmaceutical Products are the world leader in the area of sleep aids. Its major product is “Dozealot”. The Research-and-Development Division has defined two alternatives to improve the quality of the product. These alternatives are simple reformulations of the product to minimize the side effects and to improve the product efficacy. To conduct an analysis, management has decided to consider the possible demands for the drug under each alternative. The following payoff table shows the projected profit in millions of dollars.If the decision maker knows nothing about the probabilities of three states of nature, what is the recommended decision using the optimistic, conservative, and minimax regret approaches?

Suppose x has a distribution with a mean of 70 and a standard deviation of 15. Random samples of size

n = 36

are drawn.

(a) Describe the

x distribution

and compute the mean and standard deviation of the distribution.

x

has  ---Select--- a binomial an unknown a geometric an approximately normal a normal a Poisson distribution with

mean μ_x =

and

standard deviation σ_x =  .

(b) Find the z value corresponding to

x = 75.

z =

(c) Find

P(x < 75).

(Round your answer to four decimal places.)

P(x < 75) =

(d) Would it be unusual for a random sample of size 36 from the x distribution to have a sample mean less than 75? Explain.

Yes, it would be unusual because less than 5% of all such samples have means less than 75.No, it would not be unusual because more than 5% of all such samples have means less than 75.    No, it would not be unusual because less than 5% of all such samples have means less than 75.Yes, it would be unusual because more than 5% of all such samples have means less than 75.

Rent'R Cars is a multisite car rental company in the city. It is trying out a new "return the car to the location most convenient for you" policy to improve customer service. But this means that the company has to constantly move cars around the city to maintain required levels of vehicle availability. The supply and demand for economy cars, and the total cost of moving these vehicles between sites, are shown below.

a. Find the solution that minimizes moving costs using Microsoft Excel. (Leave no cells blank - be certain to enter "0" wherever required.)
