The table below shows the number of cars sold last month by seven employees at Concord Motors and their number of years of sales experience.

Management would like to use simple regression analysis to estimate monthly car sales using the number of years of sales experience. The 95% confidence interval for the regression slope is ________.

Group of answer choices

a (-1.842, 3.158)

b (-0.481, 1.797)

c (0.058, 1.258)

d (0.408, 0.908)

The table below shows the number of cars sold last month by seven employees at Concord Motors and their number of years of sales experience.

Management would like to use simple regression analysis to estimate monthly car sales using the number of years of sales experience. Which one of the following statements describes the results of the hypothesis test that the population slope is not equal to zero using alpha = 0.05?

Group of answer choices

a Because the absolute value of the test statistic is less than the absolute value of the critical value, we fail to reject the null hypothesis and cannot conclude that the population slope is not equal to zero.

b Because the absolute value of the test statistic is less than the absolute value of the critical value, we can reject the null hypothesis and conclude that the population slope is equal to zero.

c Because the absolute value of the test statistic is greater than the absolute value of the critical value, we can reject the null hypothesis and conclude that the population slope is not equal to zero.

d Because the absolute value of the test statistic is greater than the absolute value of the critical value, we fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude that the population slope is equal to zero.

The current inventory policy for M&B calls for purchasing HRF 5123 in lot order quantities of 155 cases from the Chem Corporation. M&B has an inventory control system that monitors inventory levels of all products on a weekly basis. Inventory records are attached. M&B operations require that 155 cases be reordered when inventory levels drop to 55 cases within the warehouse. Each case of HRF 5123 cost $10 and M&B has a 14% annual holding cost rate for its inventory. It cost $12 to prepare a purchase order for 1 case of HRF 5123.  Assume all shortage cost are negligible and all shortages are fulfilled with backorders. (a)  What is the value of the total annual inventory costs for HRF 5123 (need to figure out annual demand, use all data to calculate results)?

i)    Does the current inventory policy for HRF 5123 meet this directive? If not, what should be the inventory policy in terms of optimum order quantity (EOQ) and reorder point?   If the current policy does meet the safety stock objective, what is the advantage (in terms of cost) of the optimal compared with the current policy?

iii)    What would be the impact to EOQ if holding cost varied from 5% to 15% (show a one way data table and plot of holding cost varying in increments of 1%

iv)    What would be the impact to EOQ if holding cost varied from 5% to 15% and ordering cost varied from$5 to $15 per order (show a two way data table varying holding cost by increments of 1% and varying ordering cost by increments of $1) (c)    M&B is considering purchasing from another supplier located in Slidell, Louisiana. This supplier charges $11 per case but delivers products on time in 14 days. Should M&B change suppliers? Support your decision with analysis.   (d)   What is the total annual inventory cost associated with the supplier selected in part c?

True or false: Since the long-run cost is the lowest-cost way of producing each output, the long-run cost curve runs through the minimum points of the short-run cost curves. Briefly explain your answer

A hare and a tortoise compete in a race over a straight course 1.10 km long. The tortoise crawls at a speed of 0.150 m/s toward the finish line. The hare runs at a speed of 7.15 m/s toward the finish line for 0.880 km and then stops to tease the slow-moving tortoise as the tortoise eventually passes by. The hare waits for a while after the tortoise passes and then runs toward the finish line again at 7.15 m/s. Both the hare and the tortoise cross the finish line at the exact same instant. Assume both animals, when moving, move steadily at their respective speeds.

(a) How far is the tortoise from the finish line when the hare resumes the race? m

(b) For how long in time was the hare stationary? s
