Problem 1. Please create the following tables for a tool rental database with appropriate primary keys & foreign keys. [30 points]

Assumptions:

  1. Each tool belongs to a category.
  2. Each category may have a parent category but the parent category should not have parent category (so at most two levels). E.g., a Tool A belongs to electric mower, and electric mower belongs to mower. Mower has no parent category.
  3. Each tool can be rented at different time units. The typical time units are hourly, daily, and weekly. There is a different price for each time unit and tool combination. E.g., tool A may be rented at $5 per hour, $30 per day, and $120 per week.
  4. Each customer can rent a tool for a certain number of time units. If the tool is returned late a late fee will be charged.

  

The list of tables is:

Tables:

Cust Table:

cid, -- customer id

cname, --- customer name

cphone, --- customer phone

cemail, --- customer email

Category table:

ctid, --- category id

ctname, --- category name

parent, --- parent category id since category has a hierarchy structure, power washers, electric power washers, gas power washers. You can assume that there are only two levels.

Tool:

tid, --- tool id

tname, --- tool name

ctid, --- category id, the bottom level.

quantity, --- number of this tools

Time_unit table allowed renting unit

tuid, --- time unit id

len, --- length of period, can be 1 hour, 1 day, etc.

min_len, --- minimal #of time unit, e.g., hourly rental but minimal 4 hours.

Tool_Price:

tid, --- tool id

tuid, --- time unit id

price, -- price per period

Rental:

rid, --- rental id

cid, --- customer id

tid, --- tool id

tuid, --- time unit id

num_unit, --- number of time unit of rental, e.g., if num_unit = 5 and unit is hourly, it means 5 hours.

start_time, -- rental start time

end_time, --- suppose rental end_time

return_time, --- time to return the tool

credit_card, --- credit card number

total, --- total charge

SAS Enterprise Miner Exersice

Chapter 8 – Pattern Discovery Association

1.   Conducting an Association Analysis

A store is interested in determining the associations between items purchased from the Health and Beauty Aids Department and the Stationery Department. The store chose to conduct a market basket analysis of specific items purchased from these two departments. The TRANSACTIONSdata set contains information about more than 400,000 transactions made over the past three months. The following products are represented in the data set:

bar soap

bows

candy bars

deodorant

greeting cards

magazines

markers

pain relievers

pencils

pens

perfume

photo processing

prescription medications

shampoo

toothbrushes

toothpaste

wrapping paper

There are four variables in the data set:

Name

Model Role

Measurement Level

Description

STORE

Rejected

Nominal

Identification number of the store

TRANSACTION

ID

Nominal

Transaction identification number

PRODUCT

Target

Nominal

Product purchased

QUANTITY

Rejected

Interval

Quantity of this product purchased

2.   Create a new diagram. Name the diagram Ch_08_Assoc_Transactions.

3.   Create a new data source. Use the data set AAEM.TRANSACTIONS.

4.   Assign the model role Rejected to the variables STORE and QUANTITY. These variables are not used in this analysis. Assign the ID model role to the variable TRANSACTION and the Target model role to the variable PRODUCT.

5.   Add the node for the TRANSACTIONS data set and an Association node to the diagram.

6.   Change the setting for Export Rule by ID to Yes.

7.   Do not change the remaining default settings for the Association node and run the analysis.

8.   Examine the results of the association analysis.

What is the highest lift value for the resulting rules?                                                              

Which rule has this value?                                                                                                      

Identify all rules that have a Lift greater than 2.0.  For each rule, provide the Support, Confidence, Expected Confidence, Lift, and the actual Rule.

For any two different rules (i.e., not symmetric) with a lift greater than 2.0, for each rule:

Provide an explanation of why you think this rule makes sense

Three different methods that a store manager can use this rule to increase their profit on the related products.  

9.   The submittal for this chapter will be a Word document containing the screen shots captured. Make sure to clearly label each of the screen shots to explain the purpose of the screen shot.

10.   Additionally, as you generate results using SAS Enterprise Miner, you need to explain your results from a business perspective.  This means that you need to explain the results in non-technical terms as well as the business implications of the results.

One of the items that businesses would like to be able to test is whether or...

One of the items that businesses would like to be able to test is whether or not a change they make to their procedures is effective. Remember that when you create a hypothesis and then test it, you have to take into consideration that some variance between what you expect and what you collect as actual data is because of random chance. However, if the difference between what you expect and what you collect is large enough, you can more readily say that the variance is at least in part because of some other thing that you have done, such as a change in procedure.

For this submission, you will watch a video about the Chi-square test. This test looks for variations between expected and actual data and applies a relatively simple mathematical calculation to determine whether you are looking at random chance or if the variance can be attributed to a variable that you are testing for.

Imagine that a company wants to test whether it is a better idea to assign each sales representative to a defined territory or allow him or her to work without a defined territory. The company expects their sales reps to sell the same number of widgets each month, no matter where they work. The company creates a null and alternate hypothesis to test sales from defined territory sales versus open sales.

One of the best ways to test a hypothesis is through a Chi-square test of a null hypothesis. A null hypothesis looks for there to be no relationship between two items. Therefore, the company creates the following null hypothesis to test: There is no relationship between the amount of sales that a representative makes and the type of territory (defined or open) that a representative works in. The alternate hypothesis would be the following: There is a relationship between the kind of sales territory a sale representative has (defined or open) and the amount of sales he or she makes during a month.

Step 1:

Watch this video.

Step 2:

Use the following data to conduct a Chi-square test for each region of the company in the same manner you viewed in the video:

Region Expected

Step 3:

Write an 800–1,000-word essay, utilizing APA formatting, to discuss the following:

  • Describe why hypothesis testing is important to businesses.
  • Report your findings from each Chi-square test that you conducted.

Scenario You are the senior event services manager for a 12,000-seat arena located on a major university campus in the southeastern United States. The university’s athletics teams compete in the powerful Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC). On this particular Saturday afternoon, the university men’s basketball team is playing a home game against one of its fiercest ACC rivals. In fact, the visiting team is the defending NCAA national champion and the fans were in a frenzied state for this game when you opened the doors. This televised marquee match-up is sold out. The game has commenced as tip-off was scheduled at 3:08 p.m. EST. As halftime approaches, the power goes out as a result of an automobile accident that knocked out a major electrical transformer. To the best of your knowledge, the power is out all across campus, as well as in the nearby surrounding neighborhoods. The campus police officers on duty have received word that the power will most likely not be restored for several hours. The majority of the campus police on duty in the arena have been directed to take other posts on campus to assist with traffic control and to protect some the highly sensitive research venues on campus. The operations manager reports that while the emergency generator started up and there is emergency lighting, for some reason the public address system is not working even though it is connected to the generator. You are the senior manager on-site and are responsible for decision-making and leading your staff in addressing this dilemma. The campus police have previously agreed that the decision whether or not to evacuate the venue during any event is ultimately the responsibility of the arena’s senior manager on-site during any emergency situation.

Assignment Emergency planning is an ongoing activity that should involve every department within a venue. From the event manager’s point of view, emergency preparedness takes on heightened importance during events because of the high stakes in a venue occupied by many people. The event manager must have the knowledge and competence to carry out emergency responses if necessary. In addition to venue management staff, emergency response will include appropriate actions from a broad range of venue occupants, including event staff (such as ushers and security personnel), medical staff, police, and fire officials. The emergency plan should include a chain of command protocol that includes an incident command system specifying who is in charge. Please answer the following questions as thoroughly as possible:

1. What is the first action you must take in this situation?

2. What instructions do you give to your on-site staff?

3. How do you communicate with the fans without the public address system?

4. How do you handle questions from fans regarding continuation of the game?

Pacific Cruises provides standard riverboat cruises for tourists on the Hawkesbury River. The average cruise has 90 passengers on board. Each passenger pays $100 for a day’s cruising. The riverboat cruises 120 days each year in meeting current demand. There are 14 crew who are each paid an average of $130 per cruise. The crew is paid only when the boat sails. Other variable costs are for refreshments, which average $20 per passenger per cruise, and fuel which averages $400 per cruise. Total annual fixed costs are $380,000.

REQUIRED
(a) Calculate revenue and variable costs for each cruise.

(b) Calculate the number of cruises needed annually to break even.

(c) Using the contribution margin approach calculate the number of cruises needed to annually earn $500,000 profit over breakeven. Discuss whether this profit goal is realistic under current conditions and possible assumptions and limitations of the “cost / volume / profit model” at such higher volume levels. (word limit 60)

(d) Pacific Cruises is considering replacing the existing one-day cruises as detailed above with a one-day luxury cruise costing more at $180 per passenger. Under this new proposal it is estimated that demand will increase, requiring the boat to cruise for 150 days each year with each cruise taking 50 passengers. Other costs to change from the original offer include refreshments, up from $20 to $30 per passenger, and annual fixed costs to increase from $380,000 to $450,000. All other variable costs remain the same per passenger as per the standard cruise offer.
(i) Calculate the number of cruises needed annually to break even.

(ii) Given Pacific Cruises wants to maximize total yearly profit discuss, justifying your answer, whether they should continue with the existing standard cruise or replace it with the luxury cruise. Comment on the level of risk of each proposal and the possibility of making a loss. (Please note the boat has the same useful life / residual value under either the standard or luxury offer. The boat remains docked at the harbour when not in use having no alternate use.) Show all workings/ calculations as part of your answer. (limit 80 words)

(e)Explain to Pacific Cruises’ management how they would be able to integrate cost-volume-profit analysis into their broader planning. As part of your answer, discuss three ways to increase profit and explain how cost volume profit analysis is useful in evaluating the different alternatives considered. (150 words limit)
