The manager of alarge hotel on the Riviera in southern France wanted to forecast the monthly vacancy rate (as a percentage) during the peak season.   After considering a long list of potential variables, she identified two variables that she believed were most closely related to the vacancy rate: the average daily temperature and the value of the currency in American dollars. She collected data for 23 months.

                  a.   Perform a regression analysis using a first-order model with interaction.

                  b.   Perform a regression analysis using a second-order model with interaction.

Suppose the guests at the hotel have an average weight of 180 with a standard deviation of 50 pounds. An elevator is designed to carry only 10 people with a maximum capacity of 2400 pounds.

5. What is the mean of the sample mean?

6. What is the standard deviation for the sample mean of the 10 people? (Use 2 decimals)

7. If 10 guest ride the elevator at one time, what is the probability that the elevator is overweight? (Hint: If the 10 people weigh more than 2400 pounds, how much does each person have to weigh on average? (Use 4 decimals)

8. If 12 guests ride in the elevator at one time, now what is the probability that the elevator is overweight? (Hint: the standard deviation also changes here) (Use 4 decimals)

The management of the Mojito Theme hotel estimated that they can generate $180,000 and $190,000 in room revenues in 2011 and 2012, respectively, by using some other forecasting methods. However, the total room revenues were actually $185,000 and $200,000 in 2011 and 2012, respectively. The management team wants to come up with a robust forecasting report and they want to see the forecasting results with exponential smoothing model. Therefore, based on the information given, if the management would like to sell 2,500 rooms in 2012, what is the forecasted average daily rate (ADR) in 2012 based on the exponential smoothing model?
