NEED EXACT NUMBERS PLEASE and how to place into excel The National Sleep Foundation used a survey to determine whether hours of sleeping per night are independent of age (Newsweek, January 19, 2004). The following show the hours of sleep on weeknights for a sample of individuals age 49 and younger and for a sample of individuals age 50 and older. Hours of Sleep Age Fewer than 6 6 to 6.9 7 to 7.9 8 or more Total 49 or younger 39 58 76 67 240 50 or older 32 64 71 93 260 Conduct a test of independence to determine whether the hours of sleep on weeknights are independent of age. Use = .05. Use Table 12.4. Compute the value of the 2 test statistic (to 2 decimals). The p value is What is your conclusion? Using the total sample of 500, estimate the percentage of people who sleep less than 6, 6 to 6.9, 7 to 7.9, and 8 or more hours on weeknights (to 1 decimal). Less than 6 hours % 6 to 6.9 hours % 7 to 7.9 hours % 8 or more hours %

. Film scenario. A Hollywood film producer named John Mogul is evaluating a script for a potential film. Mogul estimates that the probability of a film based on that script being a hit is .10 and probability of it being a flop is .90. The studio accounting department estimates that if a hit, the film will make $25 million in profit, but if a flop, will lose $8 million. Before deciding whether or not to produce a film based on that script, Mogul needs to decide whether or not to hire film critic Dick Roper to evaluate the script. Over many reviews of scripts in the past, Roper film would be a hit (of the scripts) for 70% of the films (based on the scripts) that turned out to be hits, and had predicted film was a flop (of the scripts) for 80% of the films (based on the scripts) that turned out to be flops. [adapted from Taylor (2004)]

(a) Assuming Roper would not charge for his review services, determine the optimal strategy based on the expected value criterion, and state its expected value (Draw and solve the Decision Tree below).

(b) Determine EVSI (with Roper regarded as the sample information).

(c) If Roper were to charge $100,000 for his review, what would be the optimal strategy and its expected value?

1. In 2008, one of your associates made a $100,000 investment in high-risk junk bonds of one of the marginal airlines in the US. The bonds had a stated interest rate of 14%, which was the market rate of these bonds when purchased. Over time, the fair value of these bonds has decreased, even though interest rates have decreased.

What has happened?

2. Dill Corporation, a publicly traded conglomerate, purchased in 2004 $50 million of the $100 million 30-year bond issue of Duff Inc. The bonds, which bear a stated interest rate of 6%, were purchased at par. When you examine the balance sheet of Dill, you noticed that the bonds are now listed at less than $50 million. You also noticed a reduction of total stockholders’ equity relating to these same bonds. However, when you looked at Duff’s balance sheet for the same date, those bonds were listed as a long-term liability of $100 million.

What on earth is going on here?

What does it mean that Dill has a reduction in stockholder’s equity for these bonds?

The National Sleep Foundation used a survey to determine whether hours of sleep per night are independent of age (Newsweek, January 19, 2004). A sample of individuals was asked to indicate the number of hours of sleep per night with categorical options: fewer than 6 hours, 6 to 6.9 hours, 7 to 7.9 hours, and 8 hours or more. Later in the survey, the individuals were asked to indicate their age with categorical options: age 39 or younger and age 40 or older. Sample data follow.

Turnaround LLC was formed several years ago. It incurred losses for several years, reducing many of its members’ bases in their interests to zero. However, the business has recently obtained some new and promising contracts, anticipating profits in the coming years if it can obtain some financing. It admitted new members who each made capital contributions for their interests. The owners anticipate it will be necessary to reinvest most of the profits back into the business for some time. As there will no longer be losses to pass through, and the double taxation of profits will be delayed for some time, the owners of Turnaround are considering converting the business to a C corporation. The business has the following assets (assume there is no § 754 election in effect): 527-L-B-L-B-A%20(486).png The original owners of Turnaround, who now have a 50% capital and profits interest, have come to you for advice regarding the potential tax consequences of the conversion for them as well as for the new corporation.

FCAT scores and poverty. In the state of Florida, elementary school performance is based on the average score obtained by students on a standardized exam, called the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test (FCAT). An analysis of the link between FCAT scores and sociodemographic factors was published in the Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics (Spring 2004). Data on average math and reading FCAT scores of third graders, as well as the percentage of students below the poverty level, for a sample of 22 Florida elementary schools are summarized by the number given below. (x= percentage of students below poverty level, and y=math score ) n = 22 ??xi = 1292.7 ??yi = 3781.1 ??x2i =88668 ??yi2 =651612 ??xiyi =218292 (a) Propose a straight-line model relating math-score to percentage of students below poverty level. (b) Find the least-squares regression line fitting the model to the data. (c) Interpret the estimates for intercept and slope in the context of the problem. (d) Test whether the math score is negatively related to the percentage of students below the poverty level. (e) Construct a 99% confidence interval for the slope of the model, and interpret your result in the context of the problem.

Carla McFarland was an associate professor of English literature at Highland College. She was the only single person in her department. Consequently, she was frequently assigned classes late in the evening, on weekends, and during the summer semester. She was also called upon to pick up visiting professors and serve as their escort and guide during their stays at the college. She received extra duty as adviser to the The Highland Review, the college's literary magazine. When McFarland complained about the unequal treatment, she was told that the married professors had family responsibilities that she did not have, which took up much of their time and prevented them from having the flexibility that she had. Thus, she would continue to carry the extra load. McFarland filed a complaint with the EEOC.
