Chapter 15 The University Bookstore Student Computer Purchase Program Case page 762 The University Bookstore Student Computer Purchase Program: The University Bookstore is owned and operated by State University through an independent corporation with its own board of directors. The bookstore has three locations on or near the State University campus. It stocks a range of items, including textbooks, trade books, logo apparel, drawing and educational supplies, and computers and related products, including printers, modems, and software. The bookstore has a program to sell personal computers to incoming freshmen and other students at a substantial educational discount, partly passed on from computer manufacturers. This means that the bookstore just covers computer costs, with a very small profit margin remaining. Each summer all incoming freshmen and their parents come to the State campus for a 3 day orientation program. The students come in groups of 100 throughout the summer. During their visit the students and their parents are given details about the bookstore’s computer purchase program. Some students place their computer orders for the fall semester at this time, whereas, others wait until later in the summer. The bookstore also receives orders from returning students throughout the summer. This program presents a challenging management problem for the bookstore. Orders come in throughout the summer, many old a few weeks before school starts in the fall, and the computer suppliers require at least 6 weeks for delivery. Thus, the bookstore must forecast computer demand to build up inventory to meet student demand in the fall. The student computer program and the forecast of computer demand have repercussions all along the bookstore supply chain. The bookstore has a warehouse near campus where it must store all computers because it has no storage space at its retail locations. Ordering too many computers not only this up the bookstore’s cash reserves, it also takes up limited storage space and limits inventories for other bookstore products during the bookstore’s busiest sales period. Because the bookstore has such a low profit margin on computers, its bottom line depends on these other products. Because competition for good students has increased, the university has become very quality conscious and insists that all university facilities provide exemplary student service, which for the bookstore means meeting all student demands for computers when fall semester starts. The number of computers ordered also affects the number of temporary warehouse and bookstore workers who must be hired for handling and assisting with PC installations. The number of truck trips from the warehouse to the bookstore each day of fall registration is also affected by computer sales. The bookstore student computer purchase program has been in place for 14 years. Although, the student population has remained stable during this period, computer sales have been somewhat volatile. Following are the historical sales data for computers during the first month of fall registration: 1. Develop an appropriate forecast model for the bookstore manager to use to forecast computer demand for the next fall semester. Show work for the following forecast techniques: A. Moving average (n = 3) B. Moving average (n = 5) C. Weighted Moving average (50%, 30%, 20%, starting with most recent period) D. Linear trend line E. Exponential smoothing (alpha = .3 2. Adjusted exponential smoothing (alpha = .3, beta = .4) A. Complete all above forecast techniques using MS Excel, QM for Windows or Excel QM B. Label everything appropriately. You do not need to make each forecast technique a separate tab on the sheet. However, please label columns correctly. C. Place your name in the document 3. Identify the forecast technique with the lowest MAD. YEAR

Hello,
i need a 1.5 Pages report about southwest airlines, the paper should discuss 6 ratios of the company, explaining what these numbers are telling us, we are not required to do calculation or show how we solved them, just mention 6 ratios and explain them, and how investors are affected and what information it gave us to improve our business.

**the ratios could be found in any general website.

Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forthon this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty,and dedicated to the proposition that all men are createdequal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testingwhether that nation, or any nation so conceived and sodedicated, can long endure. We are met on a greatbattlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate aportion of that field, as a final resting place forthose who here gave their lives that that nation mightlive. It is altogether fitting and proper that we shoulddo this. But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate, wecan not consecrate, we can not hallow this ground.The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here,have consecrated it, far above our poor power to addor detract. The world will little note, nor longremember what we say here, but it can never forget whatthey did here. It is for us the living, rather, to bededicated here to the unfinished work which they whofought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It israther for us to be here dedicated to the great taskremaining before us—that from these honored dead wetake increased devotion to that cause for which theygave the last full measure of devotion that we herehighly resolve that these dead shall not have died invain that this nation, under God, shall have a newbirth of freedom and that government of the people, bythe people, for the people, shall not perish from theearth.

1) In the Health ABC Study, 522 subjects owned a pet and 1982 subjects did not. Among the pet owners, there were 295 women; 968 of the non-pet owners were women. Find the proportion of pet owners who were women. Do the same for the non-pet owners. (Be sure to let Population 1 correspond to the group with the higher proportion so that the difference will be positive. Round your answers to three decimal places.)

Give a 95% confidence interval for the difference in the two proportions. (Do not use rounded values. Round your final answers to three decimal places.)

( , )

2) A survey of Internet users reported that 20% downloaded music onto their computers. The filing of lawsuits by the recording industry may be a reason why this percent has decreased from the estimate of 28% from a survey taken two years before. Assume that the sample sizes are both 1441. Using a significance test, evaluate whether or not there has been a change in the percent of Internet users who download music. Provide all details for the test. (Round your value for z to two decimal places. Round your P-value to four decimal places.)

Summarize your conclusion.

1 We conclude that the means are different.

2 We conclude that the means are not different.

3 We conclude that the proportions are not different.

4 We cannot draw any conclusions using a significance test for this data.

5 We conclude that the proportions are different.

Also report a 95% confidence interval for the difference in proportions. (Round your answers to four decimal places.)

( , )

Explain what information is provided in the interval that is not in the significance test results.

1 The interval shows no significant change in music downloads.

2 The interval tells us there was a significant change in music downloads, but the test statistic is inconclusive.

3 The significance test does not indicate the direction of change, but the interval shows that the music downloads decreased.

4 The interval gives us an idea of how large the difference is between the first survey and the second survey.

5 The interval does not provide any more information than the significance test would tell us.

Thanks so very much ive been struggling with these 2 all day
