1. A food manufacturer claims that their new oat bran muffin has a population mean calorie content of 250 calories with a sample standard deviation of 10.1 calories. A government food researcher believes the manufacturer's claim is too low and decides to test the manufacturer's claim. A random sample of 25 muffins yields a sample mean calorie content of 254.9 calories. The food researcher decides to perform a hypothesis test at

α = 1 % to determine if it is reasonable to reject the manufacturer’s claim.

1. State the hypotheses (in words & symbols):

H0:

Ha:

0. 2. Determine the model to test H0

2. Using the appropriate notation, state the MEAN & STD ERROR of the sampling distribution: Mean:

STD Error:

Consider the hand bag market.

Assume this market is monopolistic competition.

1. Select a company and its handbags and explain how their handbags are distinguished in the market. (For example, Bottega Veneta uses a cross woven leather that makes its hand bags, supple, durable and attractive).

Because of that distinguishing characteristic, assume your company is earning a profit.

2. Please draw a monopolistic competition diagram showing that your company is earning a profit (note: careful with the demand line - it should be distinguished from a monopoly diagram - see section 10.1 in your text and the diagrams in "perceived demand …)

3. Assume now that competition has heated up and a competitor has a handbag out that is similar to your own (For example Michael Kors might come out with a cross hatched leather hand bag). Please explain this competition and show how it effects the demand of your handbag as well as your profits on the diagram.

4. Given this event, assume that your company would like to maintain its profits. Explain what it might do, and explain how it would effect your diagram.

5. Please explain some of the efficiency issues with monopolistic competition as they relate to your example..

6. Please explain some of the advantages of monopolistic competition as they relate to your example.

Transactions Outside the Operating Budget"

:Metropolis Health System has received a wellness grant from the charitable arm of an area electronics company. The grant will run for twenty-four months, beginning at the first of the next fiscal year. Two therapists and two registered nurses will each be spending half of their time working on the wellness grant. All four individuals are full-time employees of MHS. The electronics company has only recently begun to operate the charitable organization that awarded the grant. While they have gained all the legal approvals necessary, they have not yet provided the manuals and instructions for grant transactions that MHS usually receives when grants are awarded. Consequently guidance about separate accounting is not yet forthcoming from the grantor.

Use below point

• Summarizes the situation (One paragraph
• Discuss in detail, how you would handle this issue on the MHS Operating Budget for next year. (Two paragraph
• Explain a minimum of ONE option that can be the solution to the problem (i.e., separate accounting versus consolidated accounting). (Two paragraph
• Discuss if there is leadership (guidance) or no leadership (guidance). (One paragraph
• Explain if the issue should be handled either as separate or consolidated. (One paragraph

Healthy Lifestyles

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Atlanta, Georgia, is the government agency responsible for disease-related issues in the United States. The CDC coordinates efforts to counteract outbreaks of diseases and funds a variety of medical and health research studies. The CDC also serves as a central clearinghouse for health-related data.

The CDC conducts the annual Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance Survey. The survey measures a whole series of lifestyle characteristics that relate to health and longevity, such as smoking and use of seat belts. The survey compiles data on a stateby-state basis. Not all states are surveyed.

The data set from the 1990 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance Survey is on the accompanying CD in the file named HEALTHY. All numbers are percentages, and asterisks indicate the missing data for that state.

Your task is to prepare a summary of these data. Your report is to be issued to major news organizations, such as the Associated Press, and will appear in major newspapers around the United States. For this reason, it would be inappropriate to use technical jargon in your report.

Your boss has suggested a few general ideas about what is likely to appeal to your target audience. As you study the data, you might find other things worth including.

Questions

1. Report any interesting (i.e., unexpected, humorous, or odd) differences between states.

2. Devise a weighted index of all seven lifestyle variables. The weighted index is to serve as an overall or composite measure of healthy lifestyles. Apply your weight to the states of Minnesota, Florida, and California as an example of what your weighted index shows.

3. Discuss any noteworthy limitations of the survey or data set.

7. Coke Cola Inc. approach your professor that they have invented a smart energy drink that they believe it can make the students calm and clear about doing statistics. The professor took this drink to the two sections of BUQU1230. One section took the sugar drinks (fake drinks) and the other section took the real drinks.

The result of the tests were listed in excel file. At 5% significance level, can we conclude that the average mark is higher in the section with smart drinks than the section with the sugar drink?
