Suppose that the abilities of two new radar systems to detect packages dropped by an airplane are being compared. In a series of trials, radar system #1 detected the packages being dropped 51 times out of 60 while radar system #2 detected the packages being dropped 35 times out of 50. A 99% confidence interval for the differences between the probabilities p1−p2p1−p2 that the radar systems successfully detect dropped packages is:

Select one:

a. (0.03, 0.07)    

b. (-0.15, 0.15)

c. (0.04, 0.06)    

d. (-0.05, 0.35)

e. (-0.12, 0.22)

Suppose you are in the market for a new car. You identify two models that you like and are considering a final purchase decision. The vehicle details are as follows: One is a high fuel efficient vehicle with a fuel cost per mile of $0.10 and the other is a low fuel efficient vehicle with a fuel cost per mile of $0.15. The high efficiency vehicle costs $47,500 in time period 0 (no discounting); the low efficiency vehicle costs $32,500...

Suppose there are only two countries in our world Australia and New Zealand. In a year Australia can produce 100 Sheep or 500 BBQs while New Zealand can produce either 150 Sheep or 400 BBQs. What is the PPC curve? If they were to specialise who would and in what BBQs or Sheep? If both countries were to spend half the year producing each of their products- explain how specialization and trade would benefit each?

Suppose that six new employees, two men and four women, are assigned offices chosen at random from six available rooms. Suppose further that three of these offices have windows while the other three do not have windows. Assume that this process results in a random assignment of one office to each new employee. Let X denote the number of women who are assigned window offices. a) What is the name of the distribution of X? b) Notice that P(X =...

suppose a regression model has two explanatory variables (x and z). If we add a new variable to to the model (m), and this new variable is correlated to x and z, how would we use the new variable m to test the impact of variable x on our dependent variable y when z and m remain the same?
