(a) A researcher wishes to test the performance of two paper shredders, the Stanley and the Bosch, designed for professional use. Each of 10 randomly selected volunteers shredded 100 sheets of paper with the Stanley, and then another sample of 10 randomly selected volunteers each shredded 100 sheets with the Bosch. The Stanley took an average of 203 seconds to shred 100 sheets with a standard deviation of 6 seconds. The Bosch took an average of 187 seconds to shred 100 sheets with a standard deviation of 5 seconds. Assume that the shredding times for both machines are normally distributed with unequal and unknown standard deviations.

(i) Construct a 99% confidence interval for the difference between the two population means.

(ii) Test whether the claim that mean time taken by the Stanley to shred 100 sheets is higher than that for the Bosch is true, using a 1% significance level.

(iii) Explain what would your decision be in part (b) if the probability of making a Type I error were zero? (b) A random sample of 500 observations chosen from the first population gave x1 = 305. Another random sample of 600 observations chosen from the second population gave x2 = 348.

(i) Compute the point estimate of p1−p2.

(ii) Construct a 97% confidence interval for p1−p2.

Price for a cup of coffee (make it adjustable within the program)

Number of cups (response from User)

Tax Rate in San Diego is 8%. Define 8% as a CONSTANT variable that never changes

Payment Method (Cash, Credit Card, Store Credit, Gold)

Clarrie has just bought a 14-year Treasury bond paying coupon semi-annually at j2 = 5% p.a. The bond matures at par.
a. [4 marks]Find Clarrie’s purchase price (per $100 face value, rounded to 3 decimal places) of this Treasury bond, allowing for a 30% tax on interest only, to give a yield of j2 = 3.2% p.a. (net). Draw a cash flow diagram that models this scenario to accompany your answer.
b. [4 marks]Find Clarrie’s purchase price (per $100 face value, rounded to 3 decimal places) of this Treasury bond, allowing for a 30% tax on interest only. The tax on interest is paid one year later (e.g., for the coupon payment at t = 0.5 year, the tax payment will be paid at t = 1.5 years.), to give a yield of j2 = 3.2% p.a. (net). Draw a cash flow diagram that models this scenario to accompany your answer.
c. [2 marks]Justify the difference in your answers to parts a. and b. above.
d. [6 marks]If Clarrie paid $95.268 per $100 face value for the bond, and was exempt from tax, what yield was associated with his purchase? Use linear interpolation to find this yield and express your yield as a j2 rate, to one decimal place.

A firm manufactures a product in the United States. Its costs of production and shipping are $100. It sells the product in Silliestan for 1000 Zlotys which is equivalent to $500 (2 Zlotys = $1). Costs of distribution and selling in Silliestan are $100 (200 Zlotys) so the firm has a profit of $300.
