2.6 A survey amongst a random sample of 250 male and female respondents was conducted into their music listening preferences. Each respondent was asked whether they enjoy listening to jazz. Of the 140 males surveyed, 46 answered ‘Yes’. Of the 110 female respondents, 21 answered ‘Yes’. Is there statistical evidence at the 5% level of significance that males and females equally enjoy listening to jazz? Question: Formulate the Null and Alternative Hypothesis for this problem and tick the correct answer below.

2 points

a) H0: μ1 - μ2 ≠ 0 vs H1: μ1 - μ2 > 0

b) H0: μ1 - μ2 = 0 vs H1: μ1 - μ2 ≠ 0

c) H0: μ1 - μ2 < 0 vs H1: μ1 - μ2 < 0

d) H0: μ1 - μ2 ≤ 0 vs H1: μ1 - μ2 < 0

2.7 Make use of the information provided in the previous question and calculate the z-statistic using Z-test and tick the correct answer below.

5 points

a) z-stat = 1.96

b) z-stat = 2.19

c) z-stat = 2.44

d) z-stat = -2.01

2.8 Based on your empirical evidence in the previous question make a statistical conclusion whether there is statistical evidence at the 5% level of significance that males and females equally enjoy listening to jazz. Tick the correct answer below.

5 points

a) None of these answers is correct.

b) Reject the Null hypothesis. The alternative is probably true that the male and female proportions differ.

c) Fail to reject the Null hypothesis, the Null is probably true that the male and female proportions is the same.

d) Accept the Null hypothesis because the statistic is very close to the z-critical = 1.96.

A fire recently destroyed a substantial portion of Culver Company’s production capacity. It will be many months before capacity can be restored. During this period, demand for the firm’s products will exceed the company’s ability to produce them. Per-unit data on the firm’s three major products is summarized as follows:

Product A B C
Selling price $74 $90 $63
Variable costs 32 25 19
Fixed costs 15 19 9
Operating profit $27 $46 $35


Fixed costs have been allocated to the products on the basis of the labour hours required to produce each product. The major capacity constraint is the availability of time on a processing machine. Each unit of Product A and Product C requires 2 hours of processing on the machine, whereas Product B requires 3 hours.

a) Assume that the firm has enough capacity to meet the demand of the two products you identified in previous part. If estimated demand for the next product to be produced exceeds capacity by 950 units, what is the maximum amount the firm would be willing to pay to increase capacity?

b) Management adopted your plan from first part. Shortly thereafter, a strategically important customer requested that the firm supply 500 units of Product D, which has been discontinued but could be produced again if needed. Management wants to meet the customer’s request to maintain goodwill but wants to know the cost before making the decision. In the past, Product D sold for $43, incurred $22 in variable costs, was allocated $4 of fixed costs, and required 1.5 hours of processing on the machine. What is the opportunity cost of accepting the order?

question1:

Design a Lotto class with one array instance variable to hold three random integer values (from 1 to 9). Include a constructor that randomly populates the array for a lotto object. Also, include a method in the class to return the array.

Use this class to simulate a simple lotto game in which the user chooses a number between 3 and 27. The user runs the lotto up to 5 times and each time the sum of lotto numbers is calculated. If the number chosen by the user matches the sum, the user wins and the game ends. If the number does not match the sum within five rolls, the computer wins.

question2:

Write a Java class that implements a set of three overloaded static methods. The methods should have different set of parameters and perform similar functionalities. Call the methods within main method and display the results.
