There are data that give the relative frequency probabilities of various types of accidents (such as being killed by lightning, by a shark bite, or by falling airplane debris).
Choose two types of fatal accidents and research the relative frequency probabilities of each. Compare and discuss your findings. Were you surprised by the results? Why or why not? Your answers should be a minimum of three complete sentences. Be sure to include your references.

Maurice’s Pump Manufacturing Company currently maintains plants in Atlanta and Tulsa that supply major distribution centers in Los Angeles and New York. Because of an expanding demand, Maurice has decided to open a third plant and has narrowed the choice to one of two cities—New Orleans or Houston. The pertinent production and distribution costs, as well as the plant capacities and distribution center demands, are shown in the following table.
Plants | Distribution Centers | |||
Location | Capacity | Production Cost (per unit) | LA | New York |
Atlanta (existing) | 600 | $6 | $8 | $5 |
Tulsa (existing) | 900 | $5 | $4 | $7 |
New Orleans (Proposed) | 500 | $4 (anticipated) | $5 | $6 |
Houston (Proposed) | 500 | $3 (anticipated) | $4 | $6 |
Forecast Demand | 800 | 1,200 |
Help the company decide which of the two proposed plant should be opened. Create a spreadsheet model of this situation and solve using Solver. Clearly show the values of the decision variables and the objective.

A.) What is the critical value?
B.) What is the rejection region?
C.) What is the standardized test statistic z?
D.) Should the null hypothesis be rejected?

A chemical company produces two chemicals, denoted by 0 and 1, and only one can be produced at a time. Each month a decision is made as to which chemical to produce that month. Because the demand for each chemical is predictable, it is known that if 1 is produced this month, there is a 70 percent chance that it will also be produced again next month. Similarly, if 0 is produced this month, there is only a 20 percent chance that it will be produced again next month.
To combat the emissions of pollutants, the chemical company has two processes, process A, which is efficient in combating the pollution from the production of 1 but not from 0, and process B, which is efficient in combating the pollution from the production of 0 but not from 1. Only one process can be used at a time. The amount of pollution from the production of each chemical under each process is
0 |
1 |
|
A |
100 |
10 |
B |
10 |
30 |
Unfortunately, there is a time delay in setting up the pollution control processes, so that a decision as to which process to use must be made in the month prior to the production decision. Management wants to determine a policy for when to use each pollution control process that will minimize the expected total discounted amount of all future pollution with a discount factor of 0.5.
Suppose now that the company will be producing either of these chemicals for only 4 more months, so a decision on which pollution control process to use 1 month hence only needs to be made three more times.
a) Define Stage, states, and alternatives.
b) Formulate the cost matrix.
c) Identify the stationary policies.
d) Formulate the transition matrix.
e) Find an optimal policy for this three-period problem.

Consider the following regression model: Yi = αXi + Ui , i = 1, .., n (2)
The error terms Ui are independently and identically distributed with E[Ui |X] = 0 and V[Ui |X] = σ^2 .
1. Write down the objective function of the method of least squares.
2. Write down the first order condition and derive the OLS estimator αˆ.
Suppose model (2) is estimated, although the (true) population regression model corresponds to: Yi = β0 + β1Xi + Ui , i = 1, .., n with β0 different to 0.
3. Derive the expectation of αˆ, E[ˆα], as a function of β0, β1 and Xi . Is αˆ an unbiased estimator for β1? [Hint: Derive first E[ˆα|X].]
4. Derive the conditional variance of αˆ, V[ˆα|X], as a function of σ^2 and Xi .

Dmitry suspects that his friend is using a weighted die for board games. To test his theory, he wants to see whether the proportion of odd numbers is different from 50%. He rolled the die 40 times and got an odd number 14 times.
Dmitry conducts a one-proportion hypothesis test at the 5% significance level, to test whether the true proportion of odds is different from 50%
(a) H0:p=0.5H0:p=0.5; Ha:p≠0.5Ha:p≠0.5, which is a two-tailed test.
(b) Use Excel to test whether the true proportion of odds is different from 50% Identify the test statistic, z, and p-value from the Excel output, rounding to three decimal places.

1. A university wants to estimate the proportion of its students who smoke regularly. Suppose that this university has N = 30, 000 students in total and a SRSWOR of size n will be taken from the population. a) If the university wants the proportion estimator ˆp to achieve the precision with tolerance level e = 0.03 and risk α = 0.1. Estimate the minimal sample size needed for this estimation. (z0.1 = 1.28, z0.05 = 1.65) b) Suppose that, in a pilot study, the university takes a SRSWOR of size 20 students, among which only 2 students are found to be smokers. Based on this preliminary result, re-compute the minimal sample size for part (a). c) Suppose the university chooses the sample size estimated from (b), and finds that the sample proportion is ˆp = 0.15. Construct a 90% confidence interval for the population proportion p

An undergraduate student performed a survey on the perceived physical and mental health of UBC students for her term project. She collected information by asking students whether they are satisfied with their physical and mental health status. 129 male and 157 female UBC students were randomly chosen to participate in the survey. After finishing the survey, she presented the following tables in her term project paper.
For both sexes:
Number of students | |
Perceived physical health, satisfied | 229 |
Perceived physical health, not satisfied | 57 |
Perceived mental health, satisfied | 257 |
Perceived mental health, not satisfied | 29 |
For male students:
Number of students | |
Perceived physical health, satisfied | 108 |
Perceived physical health, not satisfied | 21 |
Perceived mental health, satisfied | 110 |
Perceived mental health, not satisfied | 19 |
For female students:
Number of students | |
Perceived physical health, satisfied | 121 |
Perceived physical health, not satisfied | 36 |
Perceived mental health, satisfied | 147 |
Perceived mental health, not satisfied | 10 |
(a) To test independence of perceived physical health and sex, we want to use a chi-square model with degree(s) of freedom.
(b) Compute the chi-square statistic used to
test independence of perceived physical health and sex. Round your
answer to 3 decimal places. For all intermediate steps, keep at
least 6 decimal places.
Answer:
(c) Which of the following statements is
correct based on the result of the Chi-square test?
A. At a 5% significance level, we reject the null
hypothesis. There is strong evidence that perceived physical health
and sex are associated.
B. At a 5% significance level, we do not reject
the null hypothesis. There is little evidence that perceived
physical health and sex are associated.
C. At a 5% significance level, we reject the null
hypothesis. There is strong evidence that perceived physical health
and sex are independent.
D. At a 5% significance level, we do not reject
the null hypothesis. There is little evidence that perceived
physical health and sex are independent.

Select all of the true statements about the standard deviation of a quantitative variable.
1.The standard deviation of a group of values is a measure of how far the values are from the mean.
2.Changing the units of a set of values (e.g., converting from inches to feet) does not affect its standard deviation.
3.Standard deviation is resistive to unusual values.
4.The standard deviation of a set of values is equal to 00 if and only if all of the values are the same.
5.Standard deviation is never negative.
6.If a set of values has a mean of 00 and a standard deviation that is not 0,0, then adding a new data point with a value of00 will have no effect on the standard deviation.
