It was believed from the experiment on the obstacle course, in Part I, that there is a relationship between a subject’s reaction time before drinking two beers and the subject’s age:

Experiment carried out in part I

Drunk driving is one of the main causes of car accidents. Interviews with drunk drivers who were involved in accidents and survived revealed that one of the main problems is that drivers do not realise that they are impaired, thinking “I only had 1-2 drinks … I am OK to drive.” A sample of 5 drivers was chosen, and their reaction times (seconds) in an obstacle course were measured before and after drinking two beers. The purpose of this study was to check whether drivers are impaired after drinking two beers. Below is the data gathered from this study

Driver 1 2 3 4 5

Before 6.15 2.86 4.55 3.94 4.19

After 6.85 4.78 5.57 4.01 5.72

Driver 1 2 3 4 5

Age (years) 20 30 25 27 26 1.

(a)What type of study is being outlined here? Justify your answer?

(b)Plot a graph representing the relationship between reaction times before drinking two beers and age.

(c) From the graph in (b), suggest a relationship that could exist between the two measurements?

(d)Use a 1% level of significance and the following points to test the claim that there is a relationship between the reaction times before drinking two beers and age.

(i) State the null and alternative hypotheses in context

.(ii) Calculate the test statistic.

(e) Identify the rejection region(s).

(f) Clearly state your conclusions (in context).

(g)What percentage of variation in reaction times before drinking two beers is unexplained by the relationship between reaction times before drinking two beers and age?

(h) Derive a model/equation that could be used to predict reaction times before drinking two beers for a person, if the age of the person is known.

(i) Using the model derived in (h), what would the predicted reaction time, in the obstacle course, before drinking two beers of a 22-year-old be?

Thurston Howell IV is the sole heir to the Howell Enterprise fortune. He does not participate in the business, preferring to tend to his comic book collection. He does however own a large piece of the company.

A fitness course claims that it can improve an individual's physical ability. To test the effect of a physical fitness course on one's physical ability, the number of sit-ups that a person could do in one minute, both before and after the course, was recorded. Ten individuals are randomly selected to participate in the course. The results are displayed in the following table. Can it be concluded, from the data, that participation in the physical fitness course resulted in significant improvement?

Let d=(number of sit-ups that can be done after taking the course)−(number of sit-ups that can be done prior to taking the course)d=(number of sit-ups that can be done after taking the course)−(number of sit-ups that can be done prior to taking the course). Use a significance level of α=0.01 for the test. Assume that the numbers of sit-ups are normally distributed for the population both before and after taking the fitness course.

A company wished to know if the training programme that they developed
for a particular task was effective. 20 employees were timed performing the
task before and after the training. The times were recorded and are given in
Table 1.

(a) Enter these data into two lists in Dataplotter.
To check that you have entered the values correctly, the mean number of
minutes that it took to perform the task before training is 27.2 minutes,
and the mean number of minutes it took to perform the task after
training is 23.1 minutes.
Create boxplots for the two datasets, either using Dataplotter or by
hand. Include either a printout of your boxplots or your complete
hand-drawn boxplots with your answer to this question.

(b) A boxplot gives you a visual representation of the average value using
the median, and also tells you how the data are spread out based on
the size of the box and the lengths of the whiskers

(i) How do the average times compare for performing the task before
training and after training? Use your boxplots from part (a) to
explain your answer.

ii) Are the data more spread out for performing the task before
training or after training? Use your boxplots from part (a) to
explain your answer.

(c) Use the boxplot for before training to say whether the data are
symmetrical or skewed. If the data are skewed, then state whether they
are skewed to the left or skewed to the right, explaining your reasoning
briefly.

(d) Create a histogram for each of the datasets, using a start value of 20
and an interval of 1. Include either a printout of your histograms or a
sketch drawn by hand with your answer to this question.

If you draw histograms by hand, then you should use squared paper and
the same axis scale for both histograms to make it easy to compare them.
(e) Comment on one aspect of the time spent performing the task that can
be seen more easily on the histograms than on the boxplots

Delsing Canning Company is considering an expansion of its facilities. Its current income statement is as follows:

The company is currently financed with 50 percent debt and 50 percent equity (common stock, par value of $10). In order to expand the facilities, Mr. Delsing estimates a need for $3.8 million in additional financing. His investment banker has laid out three plans for him to consider:

1. Sell $3.8 million of debt at 14 percent.
2. Sell $3.8 million of common stock at $20 per share.
3. Sell $1.90 million of debt at 13 percent and $1.90 million of common stock at $25 per share.

Variable costs are expected to stay at 50 percent of sales, while fixed expenses will increase to $2,480,000 per year. Delsing is not sure how much this expansion will add to sales, but he estimates that sales will rise by $1 million per year for the next five years.
