Bank of America’s Consumer Spending Survey collected data on annual credit card charges in seven different categories of expenditures: transportation, groceries, dining out, household expenses, home furnishings, apparel, and entertainment. Using data from a sample of 17 credit card accounts, assume that each account was used to identify the annual credit card charges for groceries (population 1) and the annual credit card charges for dining out (population 2). Using the difference data, the sample mean difference was $861, and the sample variance of the difference was $2,788,900. (PLZ DONT COPY AND PASTE FROM OTHER ANSWERS, THIS HAS DIFFERENT VARIABLES,, THANK YOUUU)
a. Formulate the null and alternative hypotheses to test for no difference between the population mean credit card charges for groceries and the population mean credit card charges for dining out.

c. Which category, groceries or dining out, has a higher population mean annual credit card charge? What is the point estimate of the difference between the population means? What is the 95% confidence interval estimate of the difference between the population means?

As a prospective owner of a club known as the Red Rose, you are interested in determining the volume of sales dollars necessary for the coming year to reach the break-even point. You have decided to break down the sales for the club into four categories, the first category being beer. Your estimate of the beer sales is that 32000 drinks will be served. The selling price for each unit will average $ 1.50; the cost is $ 1.25. The second major category is meals, which you expect to be 12000 units with an average price of $ 12.50 and a cost of $ 5.50. The third major category is desserts and wine, of which you also expect to sell 10000 units, but with an average price of $ 2.50 per unit sold and a cost of $ 1.00 per unit. The final category is lunches and inexpensive sandwiches, which you expect to total 22500 units at an average price of $ 6.00 with a food cost of $ 3.25. Your fixed cost (i.e., rent, utilities, and so on) is $ 2000 per month plus $ 2000 per month for entertainment.
a) For Red Rose, the monthly break-even point in dollars = $ nothing per month (round your response to two decimal places).
b).What is the expected number of meals each day if you are open 30 days a month?

Kent owns a large 4 wheel drive vehicle which he uses for off road rallies and towing his boat. Kent parks the vehicle on the side of the road outside his house which is half way down a steep hill. One day he fails to put on the hand brake or ensure that the engine is in gear. A passing cyclist pauses for rest while climbing the hill and leans against Kent’s vehicle. This causes the vehicle to begin moving forward and within seconds it is rolling down the hill out of control at a speed of some 70kph. Albert is coming up the hill on his motor cycle and is forced to swerve to avoid Kent’s vehicle and crashes into a lamp post. Albert is not injured but his $30,000 motor cycle is written off. The vehicle continues to speed down the hill until it crashes into Cornwall’s house. The damage to the house amounts to some $50,000. Gloucester, who lives next door to Cornwall, is so shocked by the sound of the impact that he spills a glass of neat malt whiskey on to his entertainment centre which catches fire and burns down his $500,000 home.
Required:
Advise Kent, with reasons, whether he is liable for the losses suffered by Albert, Cornwall or Gloucester.

A few years ago, the Boston Globe reported that the city of Boston planned to spend $14 million to convert the FleetCenter sports arena and entertainment center into an appropriate venue for the Democratic National Convention (DNC). The city engaged Shawmut Design and Construction in a contractual relationship to complete the work, which was supposed to start 48 days prior to the commencement of the DNC on July 26. However, when negotiations between Boston’s mayor and the police union broke down, the Boston Police Patrolmen’s Association took to the picket lines surrounding the FleetCenter and prevented construction crews from beginning the work. The Globe reported that “a truck attempting to deliver steel turned around after a crowd of union members stood at a chain-link gate in front of the arena, shouting ‘back it up,’ and ‘respect the line, buddy.’” Moreover, the Globe reported that “On-duty police officers, who had been instructed to prevent pickets from restricting access, did not intervene.” Given the tight construction schedule, construction delays reportedly cost about $100,000 per day.
Identify the principal–agent problem in this situation. Did the mayor and the city of Boston face the classical “hold-up problem” or another problem? Explain.
