3. Suppose that a particular polygraph test has 80% accuracy when taken by a guilty party, and 90% accuracy when taken by an innocent party.

2. Industrialist H.E. Pennypacker wants information on the customers that patronize his bicycle stores. He surveyed 81 randomly-selected individuals who made a purchase at his Pasadena store to find out how much they spent, on average. The mean amount spent was $62 with a standard deviation of $15.

a) What is the population in this study?

b) Construct a 95% CI for the mean amount of money an individual spends at the Pasadena store. Explain the meaning of this CI (i.e., what does it say about the parameter of interest?).

c) Construct a 99% CI for the mean amount of money spent at the Pasadena store. Contrast this interval with the one from b and explain why it is different.

d) Suppose 100 people were initially surveyed, but 19 of them actually refused to answer (leading to the final sample size of 81). If the 19 individuals who refused to answer spent considerably less money than the 81 who did respond, how would this affect the estimate of the mean and the CI?

So This answer should be 280-330 words and make sure to have to separate paragraphs for these two parts. Thank you

Case

Tom, D*ck, and Harry have been best friends since kindergarten. Tom is the business brain of the group. D*ck is the mechanical one and Harry is the creative one. All grown-up, the boys decided that they should start making some serious money to provide for their expanding families. The boys decided that they salvage small scrap metal pieces, nuts, and bolts from junkyards and salvage yards which Harry would design and D*ck would cast and weld into decorative art pieces. Tom will raise money from friends and family and look for distribution channels. D*ck has a step-daughter, Dorothy, who is 16 and mechanically inclined as well. Dorothy could be D*ck’s apprentice. Harry’s wife, Helen, is a recent BBA graduate from Yorkville University specializing in marketing and she could be recruited to help with sales and marketing. Helen’s good friend, Fern, is an award winning designer with a national home decor chain who the group might be able to induce to join them. Tom’s twin brother, Tim, recently won the lottery and is pursuing his dream to be a photographer. Dick’s wife, Janine, is a real estate agent; she believes she has found an old warehouse in the industrial part of town that could be turned into their headquarters. The owner of the warehouse, Jordan, is retiring and open to the idea of selling or renting the space.

How might the business be structured? What might be some of the legal issues that could arise in operating the business and selling the product? What are some of the agreements that might be needed?
