w much positive and how much negative charge is there in one cup of water (neutral H2O )? Imagine all this positive charge to be concentrated in a point-like particle, and all negative charge in another point-like particle located 250,000 miles away. Note that this is roughly the distance between the Earth and the Moon. By what electrostatic force would these point-like particles attract each other (in vacuum)? What amount of mass would have this weight on Earth?

An automobile manufacturer has given its van a 46.3 miles/gallon (MPG) rating. An independent testing firm has been contracted to test the actual MPG for this van since it is believed that the van has an incorrect manufacturer's MPG rating. After testing 250 vans, they found a mean MPG of 46.4. Assume the population standard deviation is known to be 2.0. A level of significance of 0.01 will be used. Make the decision to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis.

A current in a river is pushing a ship in a direction of 25 degrees north of east with a speed of 12 knots (nautical miles per hour). There is a 7 knots (kn) wind pushing the ship in a direction 80 degrees south of east. Find the velocity vector of the ship vector of the ship relative to the water if the ship is moving due east at a speed of 40 knots (kn) relative to the ground.

1. Many investors and financial analysts believe the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) gives a good barometer of the overall stock market. On January 31, 2006, 9 of the 30 stocks making up the DJIA increased in price (The Wall Street Journal, February 1, 2006). On the basis of this fact, a financial analyst claims we can assume that 30% of the stocks traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) went up the same day.

A sample of 65 stocks traded on the NYSE that day showed that 28 went up.

You are conducting a study to see if the proportion of stocks that went up is is significantly more than 0.3. You use a significance level of α=0.01α=0.01.

What is the test statistic for this sample? (Report answer accurate to three decimal places.)
test statistic =

What is the p-value for this sample? (Report answer accurate to four decimal places.)
p-value =

The p-value is...

  • less than (or equal to) αα
  • greater than αα



This test statistic leads to a decision to...

  • reject the null
  • accept the null
  • fail to reject the null


As such, the final conclusion is that...

  • There is sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that the proportion of stocks that went up is is more than 0.3.
  • There is not sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that the proportion of stocks that went up is is more than 0.3.
  • The sample data support the claim that the proportion of stocks that went up is is more than 0.3.
  • There is not sufficient sample evidence to support the claim that the proportion of stocks that went up is is more than 0.3.

2. You are concerned that nausea may be a side effect of Tamiflu, but you cannot just give Tamiflu to patients with the flu and say that nausea is a side effect if people become nauseous. This is because nausea is common for people who have the flu. From past studies you know that about 30% of people who get the flu experience nausea. You collected data on 1685 patients who were taking Tamiflu to relieve symtoms of the flu, and found that 553 experienced nausea. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that the percentage of people who take Tamiflu for the relief of flu symtoms and experience nausea is greater than 30%.  

a) Identify the null and alternative hypotheses?

H0 Select an answer p = p ≠ p < p > p ≤ p ≥ μ = μ ≠ μ < μ > μ ≤ μ ≥  

H1:  Select an answer p = p ≠ p < p > p ≤ p ≥ μ = μ ≠ μ < μ > μ ≤ μ ≥  

b) What type of hypothesis test should you conduct (left-, right-, or two-tailed)?

  • left-tailed
  • right-tailed
  • two-tailed

c) Identify the appropriate significance level.


d) Calculate your test statistic. Write the result below, and be sure to round your final answer to two decimal places.


e) Calculate your p-value. Write the result below, and be sure to round your final answer to four decimal places.


f) Do you reject the null hypothesis?

  • We reject the null hypothesis, since the p-value is less than the significance level.
  • We reject the null hypothesis, since the p-value is not less than the significance level.
  • We fail to reject the null hypothesis, since the p-value is less than the significance level.
  • We fail to reject the null hypothesis, since the p-value is not less than the significance level.


g) Select the statement below that best represents the conclusion that can be made.

  • There is sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that the percentage of people who experience nausea is greater than 30%.
  • There is not sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that the percentage of people who experience nausea is greater than 30%.
  • The sample data support the claim that the percentage of people who experience nausea is greater than 30%
  • There is not sufficient sample evidence to support the claim that the percentage of people who experience nausea is greater than 30%


h) Can we conclude that nausea a side effect of Tamiflu?

  • Yes
  • No

Tully Tyres sells cheap imported tyres. The manager believes its profits are in decline. You have just been hired as an analyst by the manager of Tully Tyres to investigate the expected profit over the next 12 months based on current data.

•Monthly demand varies from 100 to 200 tyres – probabilities shown in the partial section of the spreadsheet below, but you have to insert formulas to ge the cumulative probability distribution which can be used in Excel with the VLOOKUP command.
•The average selling price per tyre follows a discrete uniform distribution ranging from $160 to $180 each. This means that it can take on equally likely integer values between $160 and $180 – more on this below.
•The average profit margin per tyre after covering variable costs follows a continuous uniform distribution between 20% and 30% of the selling price.
•Fixed costs per month are $2000.

(a)Using Excel set up a model to simulate the next 12 months to determine the expected average monthly profit for the year. You need to have loaded the Analysis Toolpak Add-In to your version of Excel. You must keep the data separate from the model. The model should show only formulas, no numbers whatsoever except for the month number.

You can use this partial template to guide you:

The first random number (RN 1) is to simulate monthly demands for tyres.
•The average selling price follows a discrete uniform distribution and can be determined by the function =RANDBETWEEN(160,180) in this case. But of course you will not enter (160,180) but the data cell references where they are recorded.
•The second random number (RN 2) is used to help simulate the profit margin.
•The average profit margin follows a continuous uniform distribution ranging between 20% and 30% and can be determined by the formula =0.2+(0.3-0.2)*the second random number (RN 2). Again you do not enter 0.2 and 0.3 but the data cell references where they are located. Note that if the random number is high, say 1, then 0.3-0.2 becomes 1 and when added to 0.2 it becomes 0.3. If the random number is low, say 0, then 0.3-0.2 becomes zero and the profit margin becomes 0.2.
•Add the 12 monthly profit figures and then find the average monthly profit.

Show the data and the model in two printouts: (1) the results, and (2) the formulas. Both printouts must show the grid (ie., row and column numbers) and be copied from Excel and pasted into Word. See Spreadsheet Advice in Interact Resources for guidance.

(b)Provide the average monthly profit to Ajax Tyres over the 12-month period.

(c)You present your findings to the manager of Ajax Tyres. He thinks that with market forces he can increase the average selling price by $40 (ie from $200 to $220) without losing sales. However he does suggest that the profit margin would then increase from 22% to 32%.

He has suggested that you examine the effect of these changes and report the results to him. Change the data accordingly in your model to make the changes and paste the output in your Word answer then write a report to the manager explaining your conclusions with respect to his suggestions. Also mention any reservations you might have about the change in selling prices.

The report must be dated, addressed to the Manager and signed off by you.
