Isabelle Abiassi operates a popular summer camp for elementary school children. Projections for the current year are as follows:

The camp’s weighted-average cost of capital is 11%, and Isabelle requires that all new investments generate a return on investment of at least 15%. The camp’s current tax rate is 25%.

At last week’s advisory board meeting, Isabelle told the board that she had up to $50,000 to invest in new facilities at the camp and asked them to recommend some projects. Today the board’s president presented Isabelle with the following list of three potential investments to improve the camp facilities.

Calculate the return on investment, residual income, and economic value added for each of the three projects.

Professor Jennings claims that only 35% of the students at Flora College work while attending school. Dean Renata thinks that the professor has underestimated the number of students with part-time or full-time jobs. A random sample of 82 students shows that 36 have jobs. Do the data indicate that more than 35% of the students have jobs? Use a 5% level of significance.

A survey conducted at Chicago Public Schools (CPS) involving high school students on whether they had participated in binged drinking during the past month. Binge drinking was defined as 5 or more drinks in a row on one or more of the past 30 days.

a. From the sample data is there evidence that the proportion of students who participate in binge drinking is greater than 10%? Write a null and alternative hypothesis and perform an appropriate significance test using

b. Construct a 90% Confidence Interval for the population proportion. Does it support the same conclusion as in part a? Explain.

John was a high school teacher earning $ 80,000 per year. He quit his job to start his own business in pizza catering.In order to learn how to run the pizza catering business, John enrolled in a TAFE to acquire catering skills.John’s course was for 3 months. John had to pay $2,000 as tuition for the 3 months.

After the training, John withdrew $110,000 from his savings account. He had been earning 5 percent interest per year for this account. He also borrowed $50,000.00 from his friend whom he pays 6 percent interest per year. Further, to start the business John used his own premises. He was receiving $12,000from rent per year. Finally, to start the business John uses $50,000 he had been given by his father to go on holiday to USA.

John’s first year of business can be summarised as follows:

Physical activity generally declines when students leave high school and enroll in college. This suggests that college is an ideal setting to promote physical activity. One study examined the level of physical activity and other health-related behaviors in a sample of 1183 college students. Let's look at the data for physical activity and consumption of fruits. We categorize physical activity as low, moderate, or vigorous and fruit consumption as low, medium, or high. Here is the two-way table that summarizes the data.

The first step in performing the significance test is to calculate the expected cell counts. Let's start with the cell for students with low fruit consumption and low physical activity. Use the following formula for expected cell counts.expected count =

Using the formula, we need three quantities:

(1) the corresponding row total, 568, the number of students who have low fruit consumption,
(2) the column total,  , the number of students who have low physical activity, and
(3) the total number of students, 1183.

The expected cell count is therefore the following.

= 51.37Note that although any observed count of the number of students must be a whole number, an expected count need not be.

Calculations for the other eight cells in the 3 ✕ 3 table are performed in the same way. With these nine expected counts we are now ready to use the following formula for the  χ² statistic.χ² =

The first term in the sum comes from the cell for students with low fruit consumption and low physical activity. The observed count is  and the expected count is 51.37. Therefore, the contribution to the χ ² statistic for this cell is the following.

= 5.38When we add the terms for each of the nine cells, the result is the following. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)

χ ² =

Because there are

r = 3

levels of fruit consumption and

c =

levels of physical activity, the degrees of freedom for this statistic are the following.df = (r − 1)(c − 1) = (3 − 1)

  − 1

= Under the null hypothesis that fruit consumption and physical activity are independent, the test statistic χ ² has a χ ²

distribution. To obtain the P-value, look at the

df =

row in Table F. The calculated value

χ ² =

lies between the critical points for probabilities 0.005 and 0.01. The P-value is therefore between 0.005 and 0.01. (Software gives the value, rounded to four decimal places, as 0.0081.) There  ---Select--- is is not strong evidence at α = 0.01 that there is a relationship between fruit consumption and physical activity.
