Years ago, your great-grandparents lost a significant amount of money during a bank run in the Great Depression. As a result, it has always been important to you to keep your money secure and insured. You recently sold a business and now have $500,000 to set aside. You consult an investment advisor and he offers you some options. Because the safety of your money is the primary concern, the option you choose is:

a. Two separate $250,000 savings accounts at an FDIC-insured bank, one in your name and one in a joint account with your spouse.
b. Two separate $250,000 savings accounts in your name at an FDIC-insured bank.
c. Two separate mutual fund accounts purchased at an FDIC-insured bank, one in your name and one in a joint account with your spouse.

d. Two separate $250,000 municipal bonds purchased at an FDIC-insured bank.

For years you have deposited your money in a local community bank. Unfortunately, the bank’s lending policy was lax and last year the bank was forced by the FDIC to close its doors. You had $600,000 on deposit at the bank in a joint savings account with your spouse. The FDIC sold all of the deposits and loans of the failing bank to Wells Fargo, which is a much more stable bank. What affect will this have on your savings account?

a. You will receive a $250,000 check from FDIC for the insured amount of your joint account.
b. You will receive a $500,000 check from the FDIC, since there were two people on your account.
c. You will lose it all because you did not withdraw your money before the accounts were sold to Wells Fargo.
d. You will now become a customer of Wells Fargo and will lose no money.

e. You will now become a customer of Wells Fargo, but you’ll start over with a $0 balance.

You just completed your first week at a new job. It’s Saturday afternoon and your boss hands you your paycheck. To celebrate, you meet friends for dinner. But it’s 8 p.m., the bank is closed and you have no cash. Your account is at the $25 minimum balance, however you have your weekly paycheck in hand. Which two features could you use to get cash for dinner?

A. Text alerts of account activity
B. Convenient ATM locations
C. Electronic deposit of checks from smartphone
D. Electronic deposit by employer

A consumer magazine wants to figure out which of two major airlines lost a higher proportion of luggage on international flights. The magazine surveyed Standard Air (population 1) and Down Under airlines (population 2). Standard Air lost 45 out of 600 bags. Down Under airlines lost 30 of 500 bags. Does Standard Air have a higher population proportion of lost bags on international flights? Which of the following is the appropriate conclusion at the 5% significance level?

Paired Samples t-test (30pts)Suppose you are interested in deciding if a particular diet is effective in changing people’s weight. You decide to run a “within subject” experiment. You select 6 people and weight each of them. Two weeks, you weight them again. For each person, you compute how much weight they lost over this period. This is what you find:Non-diet(subject 1-6): 0,8,3,2,-10,-1.You then put them on the diet and weigh them again after two weeks and compute how much they lost over this period.Diet(subject 1-6) : 1,6,4,3, -8,2.

a) State the null and alternative hypotheses (2pts)

b) Compute the mean and standard deviation of the difference distribution (4pts)

c) How many degrees of freedom do you have? (3pts)

d) Assume the Null Hypothesis is True and compute the t-statistic (2-pts)

e) Compute the P-value (2pts)f) At an alpha = 0.05 would you accept or reject the null hypothesis? (3pts)

Suppose your research assistant screwed up and lost the information that linked the person’s identity across the two weight loss periods. This makes it impossible to run a paired t-test. Rather than start over:

a)Compute the mean and standard deviation of the two samples (2-pts)

b)Compute the two sample t-statistic (2pts)

c) How many degrees of freedom do you have(3pts)?

d) compute theP-value (4pts)

e) How does this P-value compare to the one you just computed using the paired ttest?(3pts)

NO SOFTWARE OR EXCEL

Blood pressure measurement consists of two numbers: the systolic pressure, which is the maximum pressure taken when the heart is contracting, and the diastolic pressure, which is the minimum pressure taken at the beginning of the heartbeat. Blood pressure values were measured for a sample of 8 adults; the data are given below.

SYSTOLIC DIASTOLIC
134 87
115 83
113 77
123 77
119 69
118 88
130 76
116 70

h) Perform a one-tail hypothesis testing to test the hypothesis that the systolic and diastolic pressures are independent to each other (Use ? = 0.05)

(i) Compute the p-value for the computed sample statistic (? ) in (h)

(j) If the systolic pressures of two people differ by 10 units, by how much would you have predicted their diastolic pressures differed?

(Use point values of the mean predictions) (Note: You cannot use any software applications. All the calculations need to be shown on paper. Failure to do so will result in a zero score.)

Binomial Hypothesis Test.

While this method is limited in the type of data it can handle (binary - "success/failure" outcomes), it is powerful in providing figures of authority with scientific information off of which to base important decisions.

There is a limitation to using this method and, statistically, this notion refers to the "power" of a test.

First, let's suppose that you are a disease outbreak coordinator for the Center for Disease Control and Prevention. A recent flu outbreak has led to a successful recovery without long-term problems with probability 93%. Your team runs a test in a small town and determines that, in 20 people, 19 successfully recovered. If you hypothesize that this small town has a higher recover rate, will you be able to reject the null hypothesis with alpha = 0.05? What if 20 successfully recovered? Provide your alpha-observed in both cases.

What your figures in the above two questions reveal is a lack of statistical power. That is, with such a huge probability of success and small sample size, it is hard to fall below the set level of alpha. One option proposed is to increase the sample size.

What is the smallest sample size needed so that it would be possible to reject the null hypothesis? Out of this sample size, how many "successes" would it take to fall in the cut-off region (i.e. alpha-observed <= alpha)?

a. The probability that the temperature will fall below 32 degrees Fahrenheit on any given day is 20%. If the temperature does fall below 32 degrees, then there is an 80% chance of ice/frost. What is the probability that on any given day, the temperature will fall below 32 degrees and there will be ice/frost?

complete a task by the end of next week. How many ways can we choose a group to complete the task?

Top Notch Limited has $750,000 to invest and is trying to decide between two alternative uses of the funds. The alternatives are as follows:

A B
  Cost of equipment required $ 750,000   $ 0  
  Working capital investment required $ 0   $ 750,000  
  Annual cash inflows $ 210,000   $ 150,000  
  Salvage value of equipment in seven years $ 50,000   $ 0
  Life of the project 7 years   7 years  


The working capital needed for Project B will be released for investment elsewhere at the end of seven years. Top Notch uses a 20% discount rate.


Required:
a. Calculate net present value for each project. (Hint: Use Microsoft Excel to calculate the discount factor(s).) (Negative answers should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round the final answer to the nearest whole dollar. Do not leave any empty spaces; input a 0 wherever it is required.)

** Please show the formulas on how to calculate each number in steps **
