Develop a simulation model for a three-year financial analysis of total profit based on the following data and information. Sales volume in the first year is estimated to be 100,000 units and is projected to grow at a rate that is normally distributed with a mean of 7% per year and a standard deviation of 4%. The selling price is $10, and the price increase is normally distributed with a mean of $0.50 and standard deviation of $0.05 each year. Per-unit variable costs are $3, and annual fixed costs are $200,000. Per-unit costs are expected to increase by an amount normally distributed with a mean of 5% per year and standard deviation of 2%. Fixed costs are expected to increase following a normal distribution with a mean of 10% per year and standard deviation of 3%. Based on 500 simulation trials, compute summary statistics for the average three-year undiscounted cumulative profit. The question is from following book and from Chapter 12 question 22 Textbook: James Evans, Business Analytics, 3nd edition, 2019, Pearson Education, Pearson. ISBN: 13:978-0-13-523167-8

You wish to test the following claim (HaHa) at a significance level of α=0.05α=0.05.

      Ho:μ1=μ2Ho:μ1=μ2
      Ha:μ1>μ2Ha:μ1>μ2

You obtain the following two samples of data.

What is the test statistic for this sample? (Report answer accurate to three decimal places.)
test statistic =

What is the p-value for this sample? For this calculation, use the degrees of freedom reported from the technology you are using. (Report answer accurate to four decimal places.)
p-value =

The p-value is...

• less than (or equal to) αα
• greater than αα

This test statistic leads to a decision to...

• reject the null
• accept the null
• fail to reject the null

As such, the final conclusion is that...

• There is sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that the first population mean is greater than the second population mean.
• There is not sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that the first population mean is greater than the second population mean.
• The sample data support the claim that the first population mean is greater than the second population mean.
• There is not sufficient sample evidence to support the claim that the first population mean is greater than the second population mean.

3. A clinical trial examined the effectiveness of aspirin in the treatment of cerebral ischemia(stroke). Patients were randomized into treatment and control groups. The study wasdouble-blind. After six months of treatment, the attending physicians evaluated eachpatient’s progress as either favorable or unfavorable. Of the 78 patients in the aspiringroup, 63 had favorable outcomes; 43 of the 77 control patients had favorable outcomes.(A) The physicians conducting the study had concluded from previous research theaspirin was likely to increase the chance of a favorable outcome. Carry out a significancetest to confirm this conclusion. State the hypotheses, find aP-value, and write a summaryof your results.(B) Estimate the difference between the favorable proportions in the treatment andcontrol groups. Use 95% confidence.

A researcher interested in a relationship between self-esteem and depression conducted a study on undergraduate students and obtained a Person correlation of r = - 0.32, n = 25, p > .05 between these two variables. Based on this result the correct conclusion is _______.

• A. reject null hypothesis; there is a significant negative correlation between self-esteem and depression.

• B. reject null hypothesis; there is no significant correlation between self-esteem and depression.

• C. fail to reject null hypothesis; there is a significant negative correlation between self-esteem and depression.

• D. fail to reject null hypothesis; there is no significant correlation between self-esteem and depression.

1. Suppose we have the following annual sales data for an automobile dealership:

We want to forecast sales for 2019 and 2020 using either a simple trend model or a quadratic trend model. Use a within sample forecasting technique to determine the best model using the RMSE measure discussed in lecture. Once this model has been determined, provide actual forecasts for 2019 and 2020. Report the two RMSE values in your pdf or fax submission along with the actual forecasts. Submit your Excel file used to create these answers.

Suppose retailers would like to forecast the percentage of customers who plan to purchase gift cards during the upcoming holiday season. The following data show this percentage from 2002 to 2009. The data is as follows:

Perform the following:

1. Using a 3-period simple moving average, forecast the percentage of holiday shoppers who will purchase a gift card in 2010.

-

2. Calculate the MAD for the forecast in part a.

3. Using a 3-period weighted moving average with the weights 5, 3, and 1, forecast the percentage of holiday shoppers who will purchase a gift card in 2010.

4. Calculate the MAD for the forecast in part c.

5. In which forecast do you have the most confidence?

10. (12%) Keno: Keno game is a game with 80 numbers 1, 2, … , 80 where 20 numbered balls out of these 80 numbers will be picked randomly. You can pick 4, 5, 6, or 12 numbers as shown in the attached Keno payoff / odds card. When you pick 4 numbers, there is this 4-spot special that you place $2.00 in the bet, and you are paid $410 if all your 4 numbers are among the 20 numbers, or your are paid $4.00 if 3 of the 4 numbers are among the 20 numbers chosen from the 80 numbers. The number of ways of picking 20 numbers from 80 is C(80, 20) = 80! / (60! 20!). The number of ways that all your 4 numbers are among the 20 numbers is: C(76, 16) (why?) = 76! / (60! 16!). The probability that your 4 numbers bingo is C(76, 16) / C(80, 20), and the theoretical payoff should be C(80, 20) / C(76, 16) = 80! * 16! / (76! * 20!) = (80 * 79 * 78 * 77 ) / (20 * 19 * 18 * 17 ) = $326.4355… (a) (6%) Based on this computation, is the payoff fair? Explain! (b) (6%) The payoff for 3 numbers in your 4 chosen numbers appear in the 20 numbers is $4.00. Is that a fair payoff (how is the number of ways of 3 numbers matching related to the number of ways of 4 numbers matching?)?
