1. A company is testing how different compensation plans might affect a salespersons performance. The company takes a sample of 100 sales representatives and puts 50 on compensation plan “A” and the other 50 on compensation plan “B”. They do this for one quarter (3 months) and look at the total sales in dollars for each salesperson at the end of the quarter. How can we tell if there is a statistically significant difference between the two compensation plans.

 

2. A health club is interested in how the supplements they sell affect weight loss in their clients. Currently the health club is selling three different weight loss supplements (Supplement “X”, Supplement “Y” and Supplement “Z”). Theclub takes a sample of 60 clients and gives a month’s supply of “X” to 20, “Y” to 20 and “Z” to 20. They weigh each member of the sample when they are given the supplement and then again at the end of the month so they can determine total weight loss over the month period. How do we tell if there is any difference between the three supplements with regard to weight loss?

Do larger universities tend to have more property crime? University crime statistics are affected by a variety of factors. The surrounding community, accessibility given to outside visitors, and many other factors influence crime rate. Let x be a variable that represents student enrollment (in thousands) on a university campus, and let y be a variable that represents the number of burglaries in a year on the university campus. A random sample of n = 8 universities in California gave the following information about enrollments and annual burglary incidents. x 12.9 30.4 24.5 14.3 7.5 27.7 16.2 20.1 y 27 71 39 23 15 30 15 25

(a) Make a scatter diagram of the data. Then visualize the line you think best fits the data. (Submit a file with a maximum size of 1 MB.) This answer has not been graded yet.

(b) Use a calculator to verify that Σ(x) = 153.6, Σ(x2) = 3385.30, Σ(y) = 245, Σ(y2) = 9795 and Σ(x y) = 5480.1. Compute r. (Enter a number. Round to 3 decimal places.) As x increases, does the value of r imply that y should tend to increase or decrease? Explain your answer. Given our value of r, y should tend to remain constant as x increases. Given our value of r, y should tend to decrease as x increases. Given our value of r, we can not draw any conclusions for the behavior of y as x increases. Given our value of r, y should tend to increase as x increases.

  1. Tide Pods are concentrated laundry detergent packets, which have been sold since 2012. Their colorful appearance and small size have led to nearly 7,700 pod-related calls to poison centers for children under 5. In 2017, a series of memes featured Tide Pods as “forbidden fruit.” In January 2018 a (mostly) satirical Tide Pod Challenge appeared, that “encouraged” teenagers to eat tide pods, video the experience, and post it online.
    1. During the first 30 days of 2018, there were 93 calls to poison control centers for teenagers who intentionally ate laundry pods. Typically, the number of calls for teenagers ingesting laundry pods in a month has  = 37 and s = 12. What is the z-score for number of calls in January 2018? What does this imply?
    2. Public was associating increased sharing/view rate of videos tagged “Tide Pod Challenge” with increased calls to poison control centers for eating Tide Pods? For each day in the first 30 days of 2018, the number of YouTube views and poison center calls were measured.  The correlation was r = .41. Is this a significant correlation at the 95% confidence level? Should YouTube take the videos down?
    3. In response to the Tide Pod Challenge, P&G has added warnings about ingesting laundry pods. This may have reduced poisoning incidents involving children. Based on data from the first 15 weeks of 2018, weekly calls for children had an average of 119 and std. deviation of 20. Data from before 2018 had weekly calls of at least 148. Has the number of poisoning incidents decreased? Write the null and alternative hypothesis.
    4. Calculate the test statistic, and with 95% confidence, state your conclusion.

Epsilon Airlines services predominately the eastern and southeastern United States. A vast majority of Epsilon’s customers make reservations through Epsilon’s website, but a small percentage of customers make reservations via phone. Epsilon employs call-center personnel to handle these reservations along with any problems with the website reservation system and for the rebooking of flights for customers if their plans change or their travel is disrupted. Staffing the call center appropriately is a challenge for Epsilon’s management team. Having too many employees on hand is a waste of money, but having too few results in very poor customer service and the potential loss of customers.

Epsilon analysts have estimated the minimum number of call-center employees needed by day of week for the upcoming vacation season (June, July, and the first two weeks of August). These estimates are as follows:

Day Minimum Number of
Employees Needed
Monday 75
Tuesday 50
Wednesday 45
Thursday 60
Friday 90
Saturday 75
Sunday 45

The call-center employees work five consecutive days and then have two consecutive days off. An employee may start work any day of the week. Each call-center employee receives the same salary. Assume that the schedule cycles and ignore start-up and stopping of the schedule. Develop a model that will minimize the total number of call-center employees needed to meet the minimum requirements. Find the optimal solution. Give the number of call-center employees that exceed the minimum required. Use a software package LINGO or Excel Solver. If your answer is zero, enter "0".

Let Xi = the number of call center employees who start work on day i (i = 1 = Monday, i = 2 = Tuesday…)

Romans Food Market, located in Saratoga, New York, carries a variety of specialty foods from around...

Romans Food Market, located in Saratoga, New York, carries a variety of specialty foods from around the world. Two of the store’s leading products use the Romans Food Market name: Romans Regular Coffee and Romans DeCaf Coffee. These coffees are blends of Brazilian Natural and Colombian Mild coffee beans, which are purchased from a distributor located in New York City. Because Romans purchases large quantities, the coffee beans may be purchased on an as-needed basis for a price 10% higher than the market price the distributor pays for the beans. The current market price is $0.47 per pound for Brazilian Natural and $0.62 per pound for Colombian Mild. The compositions of each coffee blend are as follows:

Blend
Bean Regular DeCaf
Brazilian Natural 75% 40%
Colombian Mild 25% 60%

Romans sells the Regular blend for $3.60 per pound and the DeCaf blend for $4.40 per pound. Romans would like to place an order for the Brazilian and Colombian coffee beans that will enable the production of 1000 pounds of Romans Regular coffee and 500 pounds of Romans DeCaf coffee. The production cost is $0.80 per pound for the Regular blend. Because of the extra steps required to produce DeCaf, the production cost for the DeCaf blend is $1.05 per pound. Packaging costs for both products are $0.25 per pound. Formulate a linear programming model that can be used to determine the pounds of Brazilian Natural and Colombian Mild that will maximize the total contribution to profit.

Let BR = pounds of Brazilian beans purchased to produce Regular
BD = pounds of Brazilian beans purchased to produce DeCaf
CR = pounds of Colombian beans purchased to produce Regular
CD = pounds of Colombian beans purchased to produce DeCaf

If required, round your answers to three decimal places. For subtractive or negative numbers use a minus sign even if there is a plus sign before the blank. (Example: -300)
