1. The waiting times​ (in minutes) of a random sample of 21 people at a bank have a sample standard deviation of 3.5 minutes. Construct a confidence interval for the population variance sigma squared and the population standard deviation sigma. Use a 99 % level of confidence. Assume the sample is from a normally distributed population. What is the confidence interval for the population variance sigma squared​?

2.You are given the sample mean and the population standard deviation. Use this information to construct the​ 90% and​ 95% confidence intervals for the population mean. Interpret the results and compare the widths of the confidence intervals. If​ convenient, use technology to construct the confidence intervals. A random sample of 55 home theater systems has a mean price of ​$113.00. Assume the population standard deviation is ​$15.20.

Learning Objective: 1. Define economics, macro and micro, and how economic questions are posed. Develop the baseline for the economic way of thinking.

Assessment Objectives:

  • Identify factors that affect demand.

  • Graph demand curves and demand shifts.

  • Identify factors that affect supply.

  • Graph supply curves and supply shifts.

  • Analyze market outcomes such as changes in equilibrium price and quantity.

Question 1: Many changes are affecting the market for oil. Predict how each of the following events will affect the equilibrium price and quantity in the market for oil. In each case, state which curve would shift: the supply curve or the demand curve. Then state whether the curve would shift to the right (an increase in supply or demand), or shift to the left (a decrease in supply or demand). Explain, which determinant of demand or supply is affected.

  1. Cars are becoming more fuel efficient, and therefore get more miles to the gallon.

  2. The winter is exceptionally cold.

  3. The economies of some major oil-using nations, like Japan, slow down.

A regional airline transfers passengers from small airports to a larger regional hub airport. The airline data analyst was assigned to estimate the revenue ( in thousands of dollars) generated by each of the 22 small airports based on two variables: the distance from each airport ( in miles) to the hub and the population ( in hundreds) of the cities in which each of the 22 airports is located. The data is given in the following table.

a) The point at which a company's costs equal its revenues is the break-even point. C represents the cost, in dollars, of x units of a product and R represents the revenue, in dollars, from the sale of x units. Find the number of units that must be produced and sold in order to break even. That is, find the value of x for which C=R.

C=15x+32,000 and R=17x.

How many units must be produced and sold in order to break even?

Bill has just returned from a duck hunting trip. He brought home eight ducks. Bill’s friend, John, disapproves of duck hunting, and to discourage Bill from further hunting, John presented him with the following cost estimate per duck: Camper and equipment: Cost, $15,000; usable for eight seasons; 12 hunting trips per season $ 156 Travel expense (pickup truck): 100 miles at $0.39 per mile (gas, oil, and tires—$0.28 per mile; depreciation and insurance—$0.11 per mile) 39 Shotgun shells (two boxes per hunting trip) 25 Boat: Cost, $2,080, usable for eight seasons; 12 hunting trips per season 22 Hunting license: Cost, $80 for the season; 12 hunting trips per season 7 Money lost playing poker: Loss, $36 (Bill plays poker every weekend whether he goes hunting or stays at home) 36 Bottle of whiskey: Cost, $25 per hunting trip (used to ward off the cold) 25 Total cost $ 310 Cost per duck ($310 ÷ 8 ducks) $ 39 Required: 1. Assuming the duck hunting trip Bill has just completed is typical, what costs are relevant to a decision as to whether Bill should go duck hunting again this season? 2. Suppose Bill gets lucky on his next hunting trip and shoots 12 ducks using the same amount of shotgun shells he used on his previous hunting trip to bag 8 ducks. How much would it have cost him to shoot the last two ducks?

A real estate investor wants to study the relationship between annual return on his commer- cial retail shops (measured in thousands of dollars) as it relates to their location and the number of homes near the shops. Specifically, the investor has collected data on the annual return of the shops, the number of households within 15 miles of the shops (measured in thousands), and the location of the shops (whether the shops are in a suburban area, near a shopping mall, or downtown). The annual return data can be found in the file “RealEstate.csv” in the d2l. As demonstrated in the lecture, please create a subset data of size 18 and perform your statistical analysis for the subset data. Please note that the subset data should be a random sample of the given data.

(a) State the mean of the response.
(b) Is the multiple linear regression model useful for prediction? Show details. Use ? = 0.05. (c) Provide the detailed interpretations of b1, b2, and b3 in the context of the problem.

(d) Use your estimated regression equation to predict the annual return for a shop in mall with 120,000 households near the shop.

Shop. Annual Return($1000s). Number of Households(1000s). Location.

Should you video conference or travel to a business meeting?

  1. Suppose you own a profitable small business in Washington, D.C. You desire to hold an essential 1-hour meeting with business executives in New York, NY. You have two options:
  2. You can fly to New York. You own 25,000 frequent-flyer miles, which you can return to the airline at any time for a free ticket anywhere in the United States. Thus, you need not pay for your flight to New York. Your only expenditures would be for 15-minute cab rides to and from the airport in D.C. (fares = $25 each way) plus 15-minute cab rides to and from the airport in New York (fares = $25 each way). Or,
  3. You can use a video conferencing facility. Last January, you paid $3,000 to obtain access to a video conferencing facility located within your office building for one year. You also must pay $125/hour for each hour the facility is used.

You estimate the meeting will be equally effective (the benefit is assumed to be the same) if held in person or via video conferencing. What option should you choose and why? How should you think about this decision? Make sure to calculate both the implicit and explicit costs of both options. You don’t need to make any additional assumptions other than those given in this scenario to make your decisions. Please also pay attention to the sunk cost that may complicate your decision. Therefore, review the concept of sunk cost very carefully before you complete your post.
