The SAT and the ACT are the two major standardized tests that colleges use to evaluate candidates. Most students take just one of these tests. However, some students take both. The data below gives the scores of 60 students who did this. How can we relate the two tests?

(a) Plot the data with SAT on the x axis and ACT on the y axis. Describe the overall pattern and any unusual observations.

(b) Find the least-squares regression line and draw it on your plot. Give the results of the significance test for the slope. (Round your regression slope and intercept to three decimal places, your test statistic to two decimal places, and your P-value to four decimal places.)

ACT = + (SAT)
t =
P =


(c) What is the correlation between the two tests? (Round your answer to three decimal places.)

The SAT and the ACT are the two major standardized tests that colleges use to evaluate candidates. Most students take just one of these tests. However, some students take both. The data data34.dat gives the scores of 60 students who did this. How can we relate the two tests?

(a) Plot the data with SAT on the x axis and ACT on the y axis. Describe the overall pattern and any unusual observations.

(b) Find the least-squares regression line and draw it on your plot. Give the results of the significance test for the slope. (Round your regression slope and intercept to three decimal places, your test statistic to two decimal places, and your P-value to four decimal places.)

ACT = ______ +_______ (SAT)
t =_______
P = _______


(c) What is the correlation between the two tests? (Round your answer to three decimal places.) (_______)

Schneider's sweet shop specializes in homade candies and ice cream. Schneider produces its ice cream in-house, in batches of 50 pounds. The first stage in ice cream making is blending of the ingredients to obtain a mix which meets pre-specified requirements on the percentages of certain constituents of the mix. The desired composition is as follows

1. Fat 16%

2. Serum Solids 8%

3. Sugar Solids 16%

4. Egg Solids .35%

5. Stabalizer .25%

6. Emulsifier .15%

7. Water 59.25 %

The mix can be composed from the following list

Ingredient Cost ($/lb)

1. 40% Cream 1.19

2. 23% Cream .70

3. Butter 2.32

4.Plastic Cream 2.30

5. Butter Oil 2.87

6. 4% milk .25

7. Skim condensed milk .35

8. Skim milk powder .65

9. Liquid Sugar .25

10. Sugared frozen fresh egg yolk 1.75

11. Powdered egg yolk 4.45

12. Stabalizer 2.45

13. Emulsifier 1.68

14. Water .00

The number of pounds of a constituent found in a pound of an ingredient is show before. Note that a pound of stabalizer contributes only to the stabalizer requirement (one pound), and that water contributes only to the water requirement (one pound.)

Young Jack Schneider has recently acquired the shop from his father. Jack's father has in the past used the following mixture: 9.73 pounds of plastic cream, 3.03 pounds of skim milk powder, 11.37 pounds of liquid sugar,. 44 pounds of sugared frozen fresh egg yolk, .12 pounds of stabalizer, .07 pounds of emulsifier, and 25.24 pounds of water. (The scale at Schneider's is only accurate to 100th of a pound). Jack feels that perhaps it is possible to produce the ice cream in a more cost-effective manner. He would like to find the cheapest mix for producing a batch of ice cream, which meets the requirements specified above. Jack is also curious about the cost effect of being a little more flexible in the requirements listed above. He wants to konw the cheapest mix if the composition meets the following tolerances:

1) Fat 15-17%

2) Serum Solids 7-9%

3) Sugar Solids 15.5-16.5%

4) Egg Solids .3-.4%

5) Stabalizer .2-.3%

6) Emulsifier .1-.2%

7) Water 58-59.5%

Managerial Report

Write a managerial report which compares the cost of Papa Jack's approach to (a) cost-minimized approach using the desired composition (b) the cost-minimized approach with the more flexible requirements. Include in your report the following:

1) The cost of 50 pounds of ice cream under each of the three approaches

2) The amount of each ingredient used in the mix for each of the thre approaches

3) A recommendation as to whcih approach should be used
