A penguin has decided to jump between two small icebergs floating in the ocean near Antarctica. You may neglect water resistance and treat the motion of the icebergs relative to the water as frictionless. At the beginning of the problem all are at rest with respect to each other. The penguin runs and jumps off the first iceberg and land on the second, where it comes to rest relative to the second iceberg. The mass of the penguin is mp. The two icebergs each have a mass of mice. The penguin jumps with a speed of vp at an angle γp.Find the final relative speed of the two icebergs.

AT&T is the second-largest provider of mobile telephony and the largest provider of fixed telephony in the United States, and also provides broadband subscription television services.
The CEO of AT&T wants to know what will affect the Total Monthly Spending at AT&T (y) for a customer. So far, the company has information on customer’s age (X1). We have total 50 observations.
1). Using the knowledge you learned from Chapter 3 to summarize the Total Monthly Spending at AT&T and customer’s age. What are the characteristics of this sample?
2). Determine the simple linear regression equation and interpret the slope
3) What is the goodness of fit of this model? Interpret the statistic.
4). At the 0.05 level, test the slope of the regression model. Write down 4-step. Do you think customer’s age will significantly affect the Total Monthly Spending at AT&T?
5). what is the 95% confidence interval for the slope? How does it tell you about the significance of the slope? Does this conclusion agree with the conclusion from 4)
6). What is the estimated average Total Monthly Spending at AT&T for 25 years old customers?
7). Calculate the prediction interval of the Total Monthly Spending at AT&T for a 25 years old customer (Show your calculation details in Excel). Interpret the results. (α=0.05)
8). Calculate the confidence interval for the mean of the Total Monthly Spending at AT&T for 25 years old customers (Show your calculation details in Excel). Interpret the results. (α=0.05
9). Comparing results from 7) and 8), which one is wider? Why?
10). Calculate SSR, SSE and SST for this model.

Please solve the following game: Assume that a total $100 grant will be shared by the three researchers, X, Y, and Z. Each person is rational and selfish. There are six proposals with different shares of (X, Y, Z) for choices as the following.
Proposal I: (X, Y, Z) = (50, 40, 10)
Proposal II: (X, Y, Z) = (60, 10, 30)
Proposal III: (X, Y, Z) = (40, 20, 40)
Proposal IV: (X, Y, Z) = (20, 30, 50)
Proposal V: (X, Y, Z) = (30, 50, 20)
Proposal VI: (X, Y, Z) = (20, 50, 30)
The rule of choosing the final proposal is simple. First, Z is the person to determine who (either X or Y) is the proposal raiser. Then the proposal raiser chooses a particular proposal. Finally, the last person has the right to pass it or reject it. If the last person’s payoff is the smallest among the three, then the proposal will be rejected and no one will get anything. The decision making process can be done by only one time. Which proposal will be the final outcome? Explain the decision briefly.
Please answer all the two questions by one paragraph for each.

Pole Position, a retailer at Destiny Mall, has a variable cost of $5 per lap driven. It has identified two segments of customers: Hard-Core drivers and Just-For-Fun drivers. For simplicity, throughout this problem, assume there is exactly one customer in each of the two segments. Market research has revealed how each segment values the experience, depending on how many laps are raced:

Consider the following data for 15 subjects with two predictors. The dependent variable, MARK, is the total score for a subject on an examination. The first predictor, COMP, is the score for the subject on a so-called compulsory paper. The other predictor, CERTIF, is the score for the subject on a previous exam.

b.Does CERTIF add anything to predicting MARK, above and beyond that of COMP?
c. Write out the prediction equation
d. A statistician wishes to know the sample size needed in a multiple regression study. She has four predictors and can tolerate at most a .10 drop-off in predictive power. But she wants this to be the case with .95 probability. From previous related research, the estimated squared population multiple correlation is .62. How many subjects are needed?
