From the variable analysis above, provide the analysis and interpretation for three individual variables. This would include no more than 1 graph for each, one or two measures of central tendency and variability (as appropriate), the shapes of the distributions for quantitative variables, and two or three sentences of interpretation.

For the 10 pairings, identify and report only on three of the pairings, again using graphical and numerical summary (as appropriate), with interpretations. Please note that at least one pairing must include a qualitative variable and at least one pairing must not include a qualitative variable.

Format for report:

Brief Introduction

Discuss 1st individual variable, using graphical, numerical summary and interpretation

Discuss 2nd individual variable, using graphical, numerical summary and interpretation

Discuss 3rd individual variable, using graphical, numerical summary and interpretation

Discuss 1st pairing of variables, using graphical, numerical summary and interpretation

Discuss 2nd pairing of variables, using graphical, numerical summary and interpretation

Discuss 3rd pairing of variables, using graphical, numerical summary and interpretation

Conclusion

John runs a computer software store. Yesterday he counted 139 people who walked by the store, 62 of whom came into the store. Of the 62, only 22 bought something in the store.

(a) Estimate the probability that a person who walks by the store will enter the store. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)


(b) Estimate the probability that a person who walks into the store will buy something. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)


(c) Estimate the probability that a person who walks by the store will come in and buy something. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)


(d) Estimate the probability that a person who comes into the store will buy nothing. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)

College Supply Company (CSC) makes three types of drinking glasses: short, medium, and tall. It presently applies overhead using a predetermined rate based on direct labor-hours. A group of company employees recommended that CSC switch to activity-based costing and identified the following activities, cost drivers, estimated costs, and estimated cost driver units for Year 5 for each activity center.

In addition, management estimated 2,000 direct labor-hours for year 5.

Assume that the following cost driver volumes occurred in February, year 5:

Direct labor costs were $18 per hour.

Simulation Project

Design a Seven Segment Decoder to decode and display CS and the last 2 numbers of your #900 number (Student ID). Assume the corresponding inputs for the letters and numbers.

Example: If your #900 number is 900123456 take last 2 numbers that is 56 and display 'CS56'

Inputs Assumptions

00- for C

01-for S

10— Last number (6 in the given example)

11— Last but one number (5 in the given example)

1. Write the Truth Table for the circuit for all possible inputs with the corresponding outputs.
2. Draw K-maps for each segment 'a' to 'g' and obtain a simplified logic combination of inputs for each output.
3. Using LogiSim draw a combinational logic circuit for each output signal. Draw a combinational logic circuit using appropriate inputs and a 7- segment display (a to g) as outputs. Mark all the labels and name the circuits.

What to turn in:

1. A short description on what is a seven segment Decoder, Truth table for your design, K Maps for simplified equation should be submitted as a word or pdf document with your name on it. (20 points)
2. Circuit using LogiSim. (10 points)
3. Submit the two files (Both pdf/word and circuit) in Canvas before the due date.

The Archer family raises cattle on their farm in West Midlands. They also have a large garden in which they grow ingredients for making two types of relish - SauceA and SauceB. These they sell at local stores.

The profit per kilogram of SauceA is £4 and the profit per kilogram of SauceB is £4. The ingredients in each relish are cabbage, tomatoes, onions, and oil. One kilogram of SauceA must contain at least 65% but no more than 73% cabbage, and at least 6% onion, and at least 8% oil. One kilogram of SauceB must contain at least 60% but no more than 75% tomatoes, and at least 7% onion, and at least 7% oil. Both relishes contain no more than 11% onion and no more than 10% oil.

The family has enough time to make no more than 870 kilograms of relish. They know also that they will sell at least 40% more SauceA than SauceB. They will have this year 390 kilograms of cabbage, 370 kilograms of tomatoes, and 130 kilograms of onion. They can use any amount of oil needed.

What is the maximal profit that the family can gain by producing and selling the relish?

. Gentry Can Company’s (GCC) latest annual dividend of $1.25 a share was paid yesterday as the company maintained its historic 7% annual rate of dividend growth. The current market price is based on the belief that the 7% growth rate will be maintained forever. However, you believe that the dividend growth rate will increase by 8% for the next three years and that in three year’s time the stock price will be $40. You and other investors require a 12% rate of return.

a) What do you believe is the current intrinsic value of GCC stock?

b) Assuming that you were right about the dividends growing at 8% forever and that the market incorporates that at t=3 in the share price. What will the price be at t=3?

c) The company Econ305 Inc, just announced yesterday that its 4th-quarter earnings were 50% higher than last year's 4th quarter. But the Econ305 share price dropped by 2.2% yesterday! Give at least two reasons why this may have happened, even though the market was, and still is, informationally efficient.
