Q 1.An online retailer, Mr Collins Ndhlovu, has two adverts posted in different parts of a well-known social networking website, Advertisement A and Advertisement B. An average of 2 ‘clicks’ are generated by Advertisement A during the period Monday 10.00 to 10.05am. There are on average 5 ‘clicks’ generated by Advertisement B during the same period. Calculate the probability that on a particular Monday between 10.00 and 10.05 am: i)Advertisement A generates at most 3 clicks. ii)Advertisement A generates at least 4 clicks. ii)Advertisement B generates no more than 4 clicks. iv)Advertisement A generates exactly 2 clicks and Advertisement B exactly 2 clicks. v)At least 3 clicks are generated in total by the two advertisements.

The National Association of Home Builders provided data on the cost of the two most popular home remodeling projects. Sample data on cost in thousands of dollars for two types of remodeling projects are as follows.

Kitchen Master Bedroom Kitchen Master Bedroom
27.0 18.0 23.0 17.8
17.4 21.1 19.7 24.6
22.8 26.4 16.9 22.0
21.9 24.8 21.8
21.0 25.4 19.0

Using Kitchen as population 1 and Master Bedroom as population 2, develop a point estimate of the difference between the population mean remodeling costs for the two types of projects (to 1 decimal).

Describe the kind of data that are collected for an independent-measures t-test and the hypotheses that the test evaluates. The key to helping formulate your explanation would be to include the assumptions of this statistical model, the type of sample used in this model, and a statement about the null hypothesis.

Question 1 contains the actual values for 12 periods (listed in order, 1-12). In Excel, create forecasts for periods 6-13 using each of the following methods: 5 period simple moving average; 4 period weighted moving average (0.63, 0.26, 0.08, 0.03); exponential smoothing (alpha = 0.23 and the forecast for period 5 = 53); linear regression with the equation based on all 12 periods; and quadratic regression with the equation based on all 12 periods.  Round all numerical answers to two decimal places.

1. The actual values for 12 periods (shown in order) are:

(1) 45  (2) 52 (3) 48 (4) 59  (5) 55  (6) 54  (7) 64  (8) 59  (9) 72  (10) 66  (11) 67  (12) 78

Using a 5 period simple moving average, the forecast for period 13 will be:

2.  
Using the 4 period weighted moving average, the forecast for period 13 will be:

3.
With exponential smoothing, the forecast for period 13 will be

4.
With linear regression, the forecast for period 13 will be:

5.
With quadratic regression, the forecast for period 13 will be:

6.
Considering only the forecasts for period 6-12, what is the lowest MAD value for any of the methods?

1. Write up the results from this analysis using APA format. Make sure you include each group mean (and SD) exam score, the correct F stat with the correct degrees of freedom and p-value, decision regarding the null, and the follow-up comparisons (if necessary). Use the example in the SPSS ANOVA lecture to help guide you. [3 points]

Neutropenia is an abnormally low number of neutrophils in the blood. Chemotherapy often reduces the number of neutrphils to a level that makes patients susceptible to fever and infections. G. Bucaneve et al. published a study of such cancer patients in the paper "Levofloxacin to Prevent Bacterial Infection in Patients With Cancer and Neutropenia" (New England Journal of Medicine, Vol. 353, No. 10, pp. 977-987). For the study, 375 patients were randomly assigned to receive a daily dose of levofloxacin, and 363 were given a placebo. In the group receiving levofloxacin, fever was present in 243 patients for the duration of neutropenia, whereas fever was experienced by 308 patients in the placebo group. (Source: Elementary Statistics, Weiss, 8th Edition)

Calculate the margin of error for a 95% confidence interval for the difference in the proportion of patients with fever between patients taking levofloxacin and those not taking anything while suffering from neutropenia. (round proportions to hundredths place, round the critical value to the hundredths place, the standard error to the thousandths place , and the margin of error to the thousandths place)

The time taken by an automobile mechanic to complete an oil change is random with mean 29.5 minutes and standard deviation 3 minutes.

a. What is the probability that 50 oil changes take more than 1500 minutes?

b. What is the probability that a mechanic can complete 80 or more oil changes in 40 hours?

c. The mechanic wants to reduce the mean time per oil change so that the probability is 0.99 that 80 or more oil changes can be completed in 40 hours. What does the mean time need to be? Assume the standard deviation remains 3 minutes.
