Six months before its annual convention, the American Medical Association must determine how many rooms to reserve. At this time, the AMA can reserve rooms at a cost of $50 per room. All rooms that are reserved must be paid for even if they are not used. The AMA believes the number of doctors attending the convention will be normally distributed with a mean of 5000 and a standard deviation of 1000. If the number of people attending the convention exceeds the number of rooms reserved, extra rooms must be acquired at a cost of $80 per room. Use a simulation model to determine the expected cost of the rooms for the convention for the following reservation levels: 2000, 3000, 4000, 5000, 6000, 7000, and 8000. From the above list of reservation levels, select the optimal number of rooms to reserve. Use a simulation with 2000 replicates and answer the questions below:

a) What is the optimal number of rooms to reserve?  (Click to select)  2000  3000  4000  5000  6000  7000  8000

(Round the following answers to two decimals)

b) What is the expected minimum cost? $

b) Construct a 95% confidence interval for the expected cost for the optimal number of rooms to reserve:

  1. A study reported in the Journal of the American Medical Association involved the study of respiratory tract infections in children aged 1 to 5 years in Israel. During the period November 1999 to March 2000 a randomly selected group of the children received a placebo and another randomly selected group received a mixture of Echinacea and Vitamin C. The following table gives the numbers for the children in each group and for those who developed pneumonia during that time.

  1. Interpret, in terms a non-statistics person would understand, your 95% confidence interval, explaining what it tells us about the proportions of all children with these treatments who would develop pneumonia.
  1. State an appropriate null hypothesis, H0, and alternative hypothesis, H1, for testing whether or not the proportion of children developing pneumonia is higher for the placebo treatment than for the Echinacea treatment.

During the financial year ended 31st March, 2017, the following occurred:

  1. On 30th June, vehicle No. GT 124516 was traded in and replaced by GE 147817 the trade in allowance was GHȻ 25,000.00.

GE 147817 Cost GH75,000.00 and the balance due that is after deducting the trade in allowance was paid partly in cash and partly by a loan of GH30,000.00 from Port Base Financial Service.

The GE 147817 estimate to have a residual value of GH20,000.00 after an estimated economic life for five (5) years.

The estimated remaining economic life of vehicle No.2 – GT 346717 was reduced from six (6) years to four (4) years with no change with the estimated residual value.
