An amusement park studied methods for decreasing the waiting time (minutes) for rides by loading and unloading riders more efficiently. Two alternative loading/unloading methods have been proposed. To account for potential differences due to the type of ride and the possible interaction between the method of loading and unloading and the type of ride, a factorial experiment was designed. Use the following data to test for any significant effect due to the loading and unloading method, the type of ride, and interaction. Use a=.05. Factor A is method of loading and unloading; Factor B is the type of ride.

Buckeye Creek Amusement Park is open from the beginning of May to the end of October. Buckeye Creek relies heavily on the sale of season passes. The sale of season passes brings in significant revenue prior to the park opening each season, and season pass holders con- tribute a substantial portion of the food, beverage, and novelty sales in the park. Greg Ross, director of marketing at Buckeye Creek, has been asked to develop a targeted marketing campaign to increase season pass sales. Greg has data for last season that show the number of season pass holders for each zip code within 50 miles of Buckeye Creek. he has also obtained the total population of each zip code from the U.S. Census bureau website. Greg thinks it may be possible to use regression analysis to predict the number of season pass holders in a zip code given the total population of a zip code. If this is possible, he could then conduct a direct mail campaign that would target zip codes that have fewer than the expected number of season pass holders. *I only need help with #5,6,7 thank you
Managerial Report
1. Compute descriptive statistics and construct a scatter diagram for the data. Discuss your findings.
2. Using simple linear regression, develop an estimated regression equation that could be used to predict the number of season pass holders in a zip code given the total population of the zip code.
3. Test for a significant relationship at the .05 level of significance.
4. Did the estimated regression equation provide a good fit?
5. Use residual analysis to determine whether the assumed regression model is appropriate.
6. Discuss if/how the estimated regression equation should be used to guide the marketing campaign.
7. What other data might be useful to predict the number of season pass holders in a zip code?

Suppose a carnival director in a certain city imposes a height limit on an amusement park ride called Terror Mountain, due to safety concerns. Patrons must be at least 4 feet tall to ride Terror Mountain. Suppose patrons’ heights in this city follow a Normal distribution with a mean of 4.5 feet and a standard deviation of 0.8 feet (patrons are mostly children). Make sure to show all of your work in this question. Show the distribution that your random variable follows; state the probability you are asked to calculate; show any tricks you use; show how you standardize, and state your found value from Table A4.
a) [5 marks] What is the probability that a randomly selected patron would be tall enough to ride Terror Mountain?
b) [5 marks] A group of 3 friends want to ride Terror Mountain. What is the probability that their mean height is greater than 4.5 feet?
c) [7 marks] Another group of 5 friends wants to ride Terror Mountain. What is the probability that their mean height is between 4 and 4.25 feet, inclusive?

Jorge was at the park playing with friends. He found a typical die with 6 sides on the ground. He took it home and rolled it 100 times and recorded the results (found in the table below). He wanted to see if the die was a 'fair die' or if it was weighted on one side so somone could cheat when playing games!
Is this a 'fair die' or has it been tampered with? Test at the α=0.05 level of significance.
Which would be correct hypotheses for this test?
H0:μ1=μ2
; H1:μ1≠μ2
H0:
The die is a fair die; H1:
The die has been tampered with
H0:p1=p2

The Ocean City water park is considering the purchase of a new log flume ride. The cost to
purchase the equipment is $5,000,000, and it will cost an additional $380,000 to have it installed. The equipment has an expected life of six years, and it will be depreciated using a MACRS 7-year class life. Management expects to run about 150 rides per day, with each ride averaging 25 riders. The season will last for 120 days per year. In the first year the ticket price per rider is expected to be $5.25, and it will be increased by 4% per year. The variable cost per rider will be $1.4, and total fixed costs will be $425,000 per year. After six years, the ride will be dismatled at a cost of $215,000 and the parts will be sold for $450,000. The cost of capital is 8.5%, and its marginal tax rate is 35%.
a. Calculate the initial outlay, annual after-tax cash flow for each year, and the terminal cash flow.
b. Calculate the NPV, IRR, and MIRR of the new equipment. Is the project acceptable?
c. Create a Data Table that shows the NPV, IRR, and MIRR for MACRS classes of 3, 5, 7, 10, 15 and 20 years. What do you conclude about the speed of depreciation and the profitability of an investment?
d. Using Goal Seek, calculate the minimum ticket price that must be charged in the first year in order to make the project acceptable.
