Buffer capacity is a measure of a buffer solution's resistance to changes in pH as strong acid or base is added. Suppose that you have 175 mL of a buffer that is 0.140 M in both formic acid (HCOOH) and its conjugate base (HCOO-). Calculate the maximum volume of 0.460 M HCl that can be added to the buffer before its buffering capacity is lost.

A sociologist is interested in the relation between x = number of job changes and y = annual salary (in thousands of dollars) for people living in the Nashville area. A random sample of 10 people employed in Nashville provided the following information.
| x (number of job changes) | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 1 | 5 | 9 | 10 | 10 | 3 |
| y (Salary in $1000) | 37 | 32 | 35 | 32 | 32 | 38 | 43 | 37 | 40 | 33 |
In this setting we have Σx = 56, Σy = 359, Σx2 = 402, Σy2 = 13,017, and Σxy = 2084.
(a) Find x, y, b, and the equation of the least-squares line. (Round your answers for x and y to two decimal places. Round your least-squares estimates to four decimal places.)
| x | = | |
| y | = | |
| b | = | |
| ŷ | = | + x |
(b) Draw a scatter diagram displaying the data. Graph the
least-squares line on your scatter diagram. Be sure to plot the
point (x, y).
(c) Find the sample correlation coefficient r and the
coefficient of determination. (Round your answers to three decimal
places.)
| r = | |
| r2 = |
What percentage of variation in y is explained by the
least-squares model? (Round your answer to one decimal
place.)
%
(d) Test the claim that the population correlation coefficient
ρ is positive at the 5% level of significance. (Round your
test statistic to three decimal places.)
t =
Find or estimate the P-value of the test statistic.
P-value > 0.2500.125 < P-value < 0.250 0.100 < P-value < 0.1250.075 < P-value < 0.1000.050 < P-value < 0.0750.025 < P-value < 0.0500.010 < P-value < 0.0250.005 < P-value < 0.0100.0005 < P-value < 0.005P-value < 0.0005
Conclusion
Reject the null hypothesis. There is sufficient evidence that ρ > 0.Reject the null hypothesis. There is insufficient evidence that ρ > 0. Fail to reject the null hypothesis. There is sufficient evidence that ρ > 0.Fail to reject the null hypothesis. There is insufficient evidence that ρ > 0.
(e) If someone had x = 3 job changes, what does the
least-squares line predict for y, the annual salary?
(Round your answer to two decimal places.)
thousand dollars
(f) Find Se. (Round your answer to two decimal
places.)
Se =
(g) Find a 90% confidence interval for the annual salary of an
individual with x = 3 job changes. (Round your answers to
two decimal places.)
| lower limit | thousand dollars |
| upper limit | thousand dollars |
(h) Test the claim that the slope β of the population
least-squares line is positive at the 5% level of significance.
(Round your test statistic to three decimal places.)
t =
Find or estimate the P-value of the test statistic.
P-value > 0.2500.125 < P-value < 0.250 0.100 < P-value < 0.1250.075 < P-value < 0.1000.050 < P-value < 0.0750.025 < P-value < 0.0500.010 < P-value < 0.0250.005 < P-value < 0.0100.0005 < P-value < 0.005P-value < 0.0005
Conclusion
Reject the null hypothesis. There is sufficient evidence that β > 0.Reject the null hypothesis. There is insufficient evidence that β > 0. Fail to reject the null hypothesis. There is sufficient evidence that β > 0.Fail to reject the null hypothesis. There is insufficient evidence that β > 0.
(i) Find a 90% confidence interval for β and interpret its
meaning. (Round your answers to three decimal places.)
| lower limit | |
| upper limit |
Interpretation
For each less job change, the annual salary increases by an amount that falls outside the confidence interval.For each additional job change, the annual salary increases by an amount that falls outside the confidence interval. For each less job change, the annual salary increases by an amount that falls within the confidence interval.For each additional job change, the annual salary increases by an amount that falls within the confidence interval.

Grey Brothers Consulting has issued a report recommending changes for its newest manufacturing client, Energy Motors. Energy Motors currently manufactures a single product, which is sold and distributed nationally. The report contains the following suggestions for enhancing business performance:
a. Add a new product line to increase total revenue and to reduce the company’s overall risk.
b. Increase training hours of assembly line personnel to decrease the currently high volumes of scrap and waste.
c. Reduce lead times (time from customer order of product to customer receipt of product) by 20% in order to increase customer retention.
d. Reduce the time required to set up machines for each new order.
e. Benchmark the company’s gross margin percentages against its major competitors.

What is the percentage change in price for a zero coupon bond if the yield changes from 8.5% to 8%? The bond has a face value of $1,000 and it matures in 15 years. Use the price determined from the first yield, 8.5%, as the base in the percentage calculation. The percentage change in the bond price if the yield changes from 8.5% to 8% is ____%.
