A new product will sell for $8. The company expects to sell around 900,000 units. (Use a normal distribution with a mean of 900,000 and a standard deviation of 300,000.) Fixed costs are normally distributed with a mean of $700,000 and a standard deviation of $50,000. Unit variable costs are also normally distributed with a mean of $3 and a standard deviation of $0.25. Selling expenses are lognormally distributed with a mean of $900,000 and a standard deviation of $50,000.
a. What is the expected value of profit for this product?
b. What is the probability that profit will exceed $3 million?

The null and alternate hypotheses are: H0: μ1 ≤ μ2 H1: μ1 > μ2 A random sample of 23 items from the first population showed a mean of 107 and a standard deviation of 12. A sample of 15 items for the second population showed a mean of 102 and a standard deviation of 5. Use the 0.025 significant level. Find the degrees of freedom for unequal variance test. (Round down your answer to the nearest whole number.) State the decision rule for 0.025 significance level. (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.) Compute the value of the test statistic. (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.) What is your decision regarding the null hypothesis? Use the 0.03 significance level.

Consider the following game: Three cards are labeled $1, $4, and $7. A player pays a $9 entry fee, selects 2 cards at random without replacement, and then receives the sum of the winnings indicated on the 2 cards.
a) Calculate the expected value and standard deviation of the random variable "net winnings" (that is, winnings minus a $9 entry fee)
b) Suppose a 4th card, labelled k, is added to the game but the player still selects two cards without replacement. What is the value of k which makes the game fair (i.e makes expected net winnings = $0)

1. Calculate the test statistic to compare the variance in poverty rates for rural counties to that of urban cities in 2016.
2. Calculate the p-value of the test statistic to compare the variance in poverty rates for rural counties to that of urban counties in 2016.
These are two questions I have for my homework, I have an excel sheet to work with and I just need to know the operations to derive these calculations. Also, is the F-Statistic the test statistic?

To study the effectiveness of possible treatments for
insomnia, a sleep researcher
conducted a study with 12 participants. Four participants were
instructed to count
sheep (the Sheep Condition), four were told to concentrate on their
breathing (the
Breathing Condition), and four were not given any special
instructions. Over the next
few days, measures were taken how long it took each participant to
fall asleep. The
average times for the participants in the Sheep Condition were 14,
28, 27, and 31; for
those in the Breathing Condition, 25, 22, 17, and 14; and for those
in the control
condition, 45, 33, 30, and 41. Do these results suggest that the
different techniques have
different effects? Answer the question by conducting a hypothesis
test at the 0.05
significant level.
Use the five steps of hypothesis testing and demonstrate your
calculations.
Please demonstrate all calculations in detail in your answers including how you found the standard deviations. Thanks.

A particular meat-processing plant slaughters steers and cuts and wraps the beef for its customers. Suppose a complaint has been filed with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) against the processing plant. The complaint alleges that the consumer does not get all the beef from the steer he purchases. In particular, one consumer purchased a cut and wrapped beef. To settle the complaint, the FDA collected data on the live weights and dressed weights of nine steers processed by a reputable meat processing plant (not the firm in question). The results are listed in the table.

b. Construct a 95% prediction interval for the dressed weight y of a 300-pound steer.
c. Would you recommend that the FDA use the interval obtained in part b to determine whether the dressed weight of 150 pounds is a reasonable amount to receive from a 300-pound steer? Explain.

Find the regression equation, letting the first variable be the predictor (x) variable. Using the listed actress/actor ages in various years, find the best predicted age of the Best Actor winner given that the age of the Best Actress winner that year is 27 years. Is the result within 5 years of the actual Best Actor winner, whose age was 45 years?
Best Actress: 27, 31, 29, 59, 34, 32, 44, 28, 65, 21, 45, 54

a. Find the equation of the regression line.
b. The best predicted age of the best actor winner given that the age of the best actress winner that is 27 years is ___years old.

Free will is an important concept to individuals and societies. In the context of cognitive neuroscience, mounting evidence suggests that free will is an illusion, constructed by processes in the brain, similar to visual illusions. Recent research has demonstrated that people who believe in free will tend to also believe in the paranormal (Mogi, 2014). A psychologist at Arizona State University (ASU) wanted to replicate this study with students in the psychology major. Following the procedure of Mogi (2014), an anonymous survey was sent to students with a call to participate in a “study of free will.” There was no mention of paranormal beliefs at this stage. One thousand and thirty-eight (1038) students completed the following survey. First, subjects were asked a series of questions regarding their belief in free will. After the free will questions, subjects were asked a series of questions regarding their belief in the paranormal. Care was taken so that the questions related to the paranormal was not phrased in a way that suggested a correlation between free will and the paranormal. Below are the findings:

Absenteeism is a major problem for some companies and in some industries. Suppose a study was conducted on absenteeism in the warehousing industry. Observations on several variables that might be related to absenteeism were collected on 35 major warehouses in the Pacific Northwest.
Absent: The average number of absences per employee for the year (does not include vacation days or confirmed sick days)
Wage: The average annual wage paid to the warehouse employees (does not include manager salaries)
Pct U: Union membership. The percentage of employees who belong to a union at the warehouse.
Good R: 1 if the employee group self-reported a “good” relationship with management; 0 if the employee group self-reported otherwise.
Perform a complete multiple regression analysis to find a model that might be useful for predicting the average number of absences per employee for the year. Perform ALL steps as outlined in class. Use Minitab and show all your work. Use alpha = .10 for any required tests (and show all steps for any required test). STAPLE MULTIPLE PAGES and include all required computer output.
