Abby’s candle shop sells candles. Abby would like to estimate her income and sales, she has collected data from the last two months. The cost of each candle is $1 and she sells them for $2.50 each. She receives her candles every day from her supplier, the supplier brings in 500 candles a day for Abby to sell. If Abby runs out of candles she estimates that an unhappy customer will cost her $0.50. If Abby has to keep the candles for the next day she has a holding cost of $0.25 per candle. The demand for candles is a uniform distribution of between 400 and 550 candles a day. Simulate 100 days of sales, find the average income, the average holding cost and the average loss in good will.

A company that makes language learning software wants to determine which of two approaches (Method A or Method B) to learning vocabulary would lead to the largest number of recalled words. The company wishes to evaluate the methods on 7 different languages (since languages differ in difficulty). Seven individuals, one per language, were recruited to learn words using Method A, and 7 individuals, one per language, were recruited to learn words using Method B.

After one month, each person completed a test of word recall. The data, representing the number of words recalled, are shown in the table below.

The company wishes to test whether there is a difference in the average number of words recalled between the two methods. Calculate the test statistic for this hypothesis to two decimal places. Take all calculations toward the final answer to three (3) decimal places.

An investigator in the Statistics Department of a large university is interested in the effect of exercise in maintaining mental ability. She decides to study the faculty members aged 40 to 50 at his university, looking separately at two groups: The ones that exercise regularly, and the ones that don’t. There turn out to be several hundred people in each group, so she takes simple random sample of 25 persons from each group, for detailed study. One of the things she does is to administer an IQ test to the sample people, with the following results: Regular Exercise No Regular Exercise Sample size 25 25 Average score 130 120 Standard deviation 15 15 The investigator concludes that exercise does indeed help to maintain mental ability among the faculty members aged 40 to 50 at his university. Is this conclusion justified? Explain whether you agree with her and show your reasoning mathematically. (20 points)

You have a dataset of the average number of chirps per minute for a sample of 30 crickets. You find that the mean number of chirps per minute is 40 and that the number of chirps per minute has a standard deviation of 5 chirps. You want to test that the mean number of chirps per minute for a cricket is greater than 38 using a significance level of .05. What is the value of your test statistic? Round your answer to two decimal places.
