You are a data science consultant! In each of the following cases, decide whether you would suggest a flexible regression model or an inflexible one. Provide your reasons as clearly as possible.

(a) In the study of breast cancer, a scientist is trying to find the genes associated with breast cancer. The total number of genes in the study is 50,000 and the number of patients is 120.

(b) The Ministry of Education in a certain country wants to identify students who need extra help. They wish to design a system which estimates student performance in the final 8th grade math exam based on their math, science and history grades in the 7th grade. To do this, they want to run a regression on the data from all the students who have graduated from the 8th grade in the last 10 years.

(c) Kelly is a very hardworking chemistry student and she has run an experiment to find a mathematical expression that relates the speed of corrosion of iron to the humidity and temperature of the environment, and the percentage of different elements in the alloy. Unfortunately, the lab that she is working in was established in 1967 and the equipment has not been changed since then. This has caused measurements to vary significantly between different experimental runs, even when the parameters were the same. She is skeptical about the quality of her measurements of the speed of corrosion.

(d) Kelly’s advisor won the Nobel prize in chemistry and used the prize money to outfit the lab with the most modern equipment. Kelly ran her experiments again with the new equipment and now she can trust her numbers. However, her advisor believes that she should not expect that the real relationship be linear.

Chapter 11 Depreciation, Impairements and Depletion

Mueller Company purchased equipment 8 years ago for $1,000,000. The equipment has been depreciated using the straight-line method with a 20-year useful life and a $100,000 residual value. Mueller’s operations have experienced significant losses for the past two years and as a result, the company has decided that the equipment should be evaluated for possible impairment. The management of Mueller Company estimates that the equipment has a remaining useful life of 7 years. Net cash inflows from the equipment are estimated to be $80,000 per year. The fair value of the equipment is $240,000.

(a) Determine if an impairment loss should be recognized.

(b) If an impairment loss has occurred, prepare the journal entry to record the loss.

(c) How would your answers change if the net cash inflows from the equipment were estimated to be $100,000 per year for the remaining seven years?

(d) Going back to the original information, how would your answers to parts (a) and (b) change if the fair value of the equipment was $500,000?

The manufacturer of an MP3 player wanted to know whether a 10% reduction in price is enough to increase the sales of its product. To investigate, the owner randomly selected eight outlets and sold the MP3 player at the reduced price. At seven randomly selected outlets, the MP3 player was sold at the regular price. Reported below is the number of units sold last month at the regular and reduced prices at the randomly selected outlets.

Regular price 138 121 123 116 116 122 132 Reduced price 143 133 151 136 144 123 130 131 picture Click here for the Excel Data File At the 0.01 significance level, can the manufacturer conclude that the price reduction resulted in an increase in sales? Hint: For the calculations, assume reduced price as the first sample.

At the end of last year, Roberts Inc. reported the following income statement (in millions of dollars):

Looking ahead to the following year, the company's CFO has assembled this information:

• Year-end sales are expected to be 5% higher than the $3 billion in sales generated last year.
• Year-end operating costs, excluding depreciation, are expected to equal 80% of year-end sales.
• Depreciation is expected to increase at the same rate as sales.
• Interest costs are expected to remain unchanged.
• The tax rate is expected to remain at 25%.

On the basis of that information, what will be the forecast for Roberts' year-end net income? Enter your answer in millions. For example, an answer of $25,400,000 should be entered as 25.40. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal places.
