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.

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).

The computer that controls a bank's automatic teller machine crashes a mean of 0.4 0.4 times per day. What is the probability that, in any seven-day week, the computer will crash less than 4 4 times? Round your answer to four decimal places.

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.

Calculate a geometric series

1.For v greater than 0 and less than 1, what is the Sum(v^i) for i = 1 to 100?

2.For v greater than 0 and less than 1, what is the Sum(v^i) for i = 1 to infinity?

3.Let v = 1/(1+r). State the answer to question 2 in terms of r.

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.

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.

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.

Does Red Increase Men’s Attraction to Women?

A study¹ examines the impact of the color red on how attractive men perceive women to be. In the study, men were randomly divided into two groups and were asked to rate the attractiveness of women on a scale of 1 (not at all attractive) to 9 (extremely attractive). Men in one group were shown pictures of women on a white background while the men in the other group were shown the same pictures of women on a red background. The results are shown in Table 1 and the data for both groups are reasonably symmetric with no outliers.

Table 1 Does red increase men’s attraction to women?

To determine the possible effect size of the red background over the white, find a 99% confidence interval for the difference in mean attractiveness rating μR-μW, where μR represents the mean rating with the red background and μW represents the mean rating with the white background.

Round your answers to two decimal places.

The 99% confidence interval is

calculate the probability of a person liking a dark-colored imported car over a light-colored imported car. Your answers are probabilities. Show your work.

The Dependent Variable (DV) is "Prefers Dark colored imported car." This measure is labeled"PrefDark" in the data
= 0 if preference is for a light colored car,
= 1 if preference is for a dark-colored car.

Here are the Independent Variables (IVs):
Age in years (no intervals – labeled "Age" in the data)

Gender (measure is labeled "Gender" in the data)
= 0 if male,
= 1 if female.

Education level (measure is labeled EducLevel in the data)
= 0 if completed high school only
= 1 if completed Associate's degree (Community College)
= 2 if completed Undergraduate degree (BA or BS)
= 3 if completed a Graduate degree

Income per year (in Euros, measure is labeled Income))

Consider, also, these coefficients for each measure (data point), calculated by running a Logit analysis on the data sample for the DV, PrefDark:

Coefficients and Constant
Age             0.101
Gender      0.34
EducLevel –5.1
Income      0.000142
Constant      3.22

Assume all coefficients and the constant are statistically significant (you can't ignore them).

Part 1:
Now consider this person, Respondent 1:
Age = 24
Gender = 1 (female)
EducLevel = 2 (Undergraduate degree)
Income/year = Euros 38000
What is the probability this person prefers a dark-colored imported car?

Part 2:
Additionally, consider this other person, Respondent 2:
54 year old male, with a graduate degree, earning Euros 58000 per year.
What is the probability this person prefers a dark-colored imported car?

Hint: Use the formula given in the video for calculating P(Y_i=y_i).

Show your work, please.

Part 3:
Which Respondent has a higher probability of preferring a dark-colored car?
This is quite straightforward if you have Parts 1 and 2 correct.
