10.The distribution of vehicles sales in the United States in the year 2000 was the following:
Type of car Small Midsize Large Luxury
% 32.8 44.8 9.4 3.0
A simple random sample of 500 vehicles sales was taken this year and the Distribution is as follow:
Type of car Small Midsize Large Luxury
% 133 249 47 71
At the 5% significant level, do the data provides sufficient evidence to conclude that the distribution of vehicle sales this year has changed from the 2000 distribution?

Four unbiased coins, a quarter (25 cent coin), a dime (10 cents coin) and two different nickles (5 cent coins, one minted before year 2000 and other after Year 2000) are tossed simultaneously. If a head shows up on any coin, you are paid the amount on the coin but for tail, you are paid no money for that coin. Find the probability that upon a single simultaneous toss of all four coins, you are paid a total of 35 cents or more

Cowboys Copies, Inc., wants to upgrade its copy machines. Its
last update was 2 years ago, when it spent $1,150 on equipment with
an assumed life of 5 years and. The firm uses MACRS depreciation.
The old equipment can be sold today for $800. A new system can be
installed today for $1,500. This will have a 3 year life and will
be depreciated under MACRS 3 year schedule. At the end of 3 years,
the new equipment will be worthless (therefore, market value of
zero).
The company projects unit sales associated with the new equipment
as follows:
| Year | Sales (in Units) |
| 1 | 72 |
| 2 | 80 |
| 3 | 64 |
| Thereafter | 0 |
Investment in net working capital will be 20 percent of the
sales for the following year.
Therefore, total net working capital for year 0 would be 20 percent
of the sales in year 1 and for year 1, you will need total net
working capital amounting to 20 percent of the sales for year 2 in
dollar values (not in units). The production costs are $15 per
unit, and the units are priced at $40 each. The firm is in the 40
percent marginal tax bracket and required rate of return is
12%.

update I have finished 1-5 6-9 are stumping me
"Durham Police is to become the first force in the country (UK)
to introduce a scheme in which users are treated with diamorphine -
medical grade heroin.
Ron Hogg, County Durham's Police, Crime and Victims' Commissioner,
says such treatment lowers offending levels.
Opponents claim trials have not shown significant benefits.
Mr Hogg told BBC Newcastle existing national policies had not been
effective and pointed to six-year trials in Darlington, London and
Brighton which he said had helped wean users off the drug.
Addicts were given the opiate in consumption rooms, often referred
to as "shooting galleries", supervised by medical
professionals.
"It got them back into a normal life and it cut crime," he
said.
"We saw health benefits for the individuals, we saw needles being
taken off the street, so there's an awful lot of evidence both in
the UK and across the world that such schemes do actually
work.
"All police and crime commissioners spend a lot of money on what we
call diversionary work - community projects and youth offending
schemes - because we know this will stop people committing
crime.
"This is just an extension of that rationale. The controversiality
is because it's drugs."
'Not unusual'
Mr Hogg said the UK had the highest rate of heroin, cocaine and
ecstasy use across the European Union with drug-induced deaths
totalling 45 people per million compared with 17 per million in the
EU.
Aiming to introduce the scheme "by the end of this year", he added
the force's public health partners were working out the cost of
administering the drug to users twice-daily.
He previously mooted such a move in 2013.
"If we go back to the 1960s, doctors used to prescribe heroin as
a means of treating someone back to recovery. It's not that
unusual," he said.
"We've got to consider the Misuse of Drugs Act has been in since
1971 and we haven't arrested the way out of the problem, have
we?"
A Home Office spokesman said there was evidence "supervised use of
[diamorphine] in a medical environment as part of a treatment plan
can help keep patients in treatment and out of criminal
behaviour".
However, David Raynes of the National Drug Prevention Alliance,
warned the move "will not stop addicts being addicts".
"It doesn't stop people using street drugs," he said.
"It may reduce crime marginally, but it doesn't reduce crime
permanently."
Working together as a group, design a study to address whether this method is effective or not in reducing crime due to heroin addiction. Ron Hogg of County Durham's Police believes it works while David Raynes of the National Drug Prevention Alliance is skeptical. Your job is to help settle the argument using a statistical study. You will need to address the following in your write up:
1 What is the population of interest?
2 What are the null and alternate hypotheses of your study?
3 What data type will you be collecting in this study (numerical or categorical)?
4 How would you collect the data needed to decide which hypothesis to support?
5 How would you make sure the data collected is representative of the population of interest and not biased?
6 Specifically, what tools would you use to analyze the data? You need to give the names of any plots/graphs that would be useful and the type of hypothesis test that would be used to settle the argument between Mr. Hogg and Mr. Raynes.
7 Based on what hypothesis test you selected in part 6, what assumptions need to be check prior to using said test?
8 Let's assume your study resulted in the data being statistically significant. Which hypotheses would have been supported? Give a possible p-value for this result. If an error had occurred, which type (Type I or Type II) could it have been?
9 Let's assume your study resulted in the data NOT being statistically significant. Which hypotheses would have been supported? Give a possible p -value for this result. If an error had occurred, which type (Type I or Type II) could it have been?
