The following variable (X) represents the number of coupons used over a 6 month period by a sample of 11 shoppers:

81, 64, 71, 68, 71, 55, 62, 71, 66, 77, 61.  

Use this data to compute:

The mean, the median, the mode, the range, the variance, the standard deviation, the 80th percentile, the sum of the values of (X), and the sum of the squared deviations of each value of (X) from the mean. In addition, please explain what information is provided to us about this variable by your answers to: (1) the sample mean and (2) the sample standard deviation.

Write a Journal Reflection applying what we have learned about contracts to the life/career. Please consider 3-5 contracts/contractual relationships that you have entered into (or that are common in your current or future career).  Please describe the basic contract and explain the contractual elements (offer, acceptance, consideration), any issues with capacity or legality, the requirements for performance of the contract, and potential remedies should either side breach the contract.  The journal should include use and application of proper legal terminology. The journal should be a minimum of 300 words.

The question is about Competition Law and Policy economic major

1. What is the objective of the SSNIP or Hypothetical Monopolist Test? Describe the SSNIP Test. You may use examples if you think that will better help you to describe the SSNIP Test.

2. In non-merger cases such as when investigating the abuse of dominant position of a firm, should the competition authority conduct the SSNIP test by estimating whether the firm in question can raise the price of its product in a small but significant way relative to current prices like it would do for a merger case? Explain your answer.

Thanks

A new exercise program is proposed to increase the V02 max (a measure of fitness in mL/kg/min) of men with sedentary lifestyles. The researchers randomly recruited 25 such men from their local health care centre. They measured the V02 max of each individual at the start of the study (pre) and then again after 6 months of participating in the exercise program (post). The data are available in the file VO2max.csv.

a. What are the null and alternative hypotheses?

b. (1 mark) What is the value of the test statistic?

c. (1 mark) What is the distribution of the test statistic if the null hypothesis is true?

d. What is the p-value?

e. Using a significance level of 5%, state your conclusions about this test in the language of the problem.

f. Name the two key unstated assumptions required for the validity of your hypothesis test and explain why they are reasonable in this context.

The data are available in the file VO2max.csv.
