Rob is 84 years old, and his wife of 60 years recently died from a long-term illness. Rob has been experiencing some health concerns and is finding managing on his own difficult. Donna is meeting with Rob to plan for the provision of home and community care services.

Donna notes that Rob is articulate and neatly dressed. His home is a little dusty, but well organised. Rob is a little thin and admits that he is not a very good cook. He says he is happy to have help, as he wants to stay in his own home for as long as possible.

Suppose we have two thermometers. One thermometer is very precise but is delicate and heavy (X). We have another thermometer that is much cheaper and lighter, but of unknown precision (Y). We would like to know if we can (reliably) bring the lighter thermometer with us into the field. So, we set up an experiment where we expose both thermometers to 31 different temperatures and measure the temperature with each. We get the following observations
x = 0, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40, 44, 48, 52, 56, 60, 64, 68, 72, 76, 80, 84, 88, 92, 96, 100, 104, 108, 112, 116, 120
y = 0.02, 3.99, 7.91, 12.03, 16.09, 20.00, 23.98, 28.09, 31.94, 36.03, 40.00, 44.05, 47.95, 52.00, 55.87, 59.90, 63.91, 67.95, 72.11, 76.02, 80.01, 84.10, 88.06, 91.74, 96.02, 99.95, 103.87, 108.01, 111.99, 116.04, 120.03
We want to test if these thermometers seem to be measuring the same temperatures. Let's use the threshold . Answer all questions up to 3 decimals

(a) Write down the appropriate hypothesis tests for . H₀:   ---Select--- ≠ = > <  and H_a:   ---Select--- ≤ = > ≠ ≥ <

(b) The test statistic is  (Use 2 decimal places)

(c) The p-value is  (Use 4 decimal places)

(d) Therefore, we can conclude that

The data provides evidence at the 0.1 significance level that these thermometers are not consistentThe data provides no evidence at the 0.1 significance level that these thermometers are not consistentThe probability that the null hypothesis is true is equal to the p-valueThe probability that we have made a mistake is equal to 0.1

Note 8: Bonds (in part) The 8.0% bonds were issued in 2005 at 96.0 to yield 10%. Interest is paid semiannually on June 30 and December 31.

On January 3, 2019, when Bradley-Link’s common stock had a market price of $37 per share, Bradley-Link called the convertible bonds to force conversion. 90% were converted; the remainder were acquired at the call price. When the common stock price reached an all-time high of $42 in December of 2019, 40% of the warrants were exercised.

Required: 1. Prepare the journal entries that were recorded when each of the two bond issues was originally sold in 2005 and 2009. 2. Prepare the journal entry to record (book value method) the conversion of 90% of the convertible bonds in January 2019 and the retirement of the remainder. 3. Assume Bradley-Link induced conversion by offering $140 cash for each bond converted. Prepare the journal entry to record (book value method) the conversion of 90% of the convertible bonds in January 2019. 4. Assume Bradley-Link induced conversion by modifying the conversion ratio to exchange 55 shares for each bond rather than the 50 shares provided in the contract. Prepare the journal entry to record (book value method) the conversion of 90% of the convertible bonds in January 2019. 5. Prepare the journal entry to record the exercise of the warrants in December 2019.

You are an associate of the American Coffee Producers Association and operate small coffee shops in southern Nevada. The coffee business is quite competitive and small companies must compete with coffee giants like Starbucks. Therefore, it is important that you understand your local market demographics. One demographic you wish to study is whether there are differences in coffee consumption levels among various age groups. Understanding any relationship between age and coffee consumption will help tailor effective promotional issues. You develop and administer a survey in your target market area. Two of the questions on the survey ask 1) the respondent's age range and 2) the respondent's level of daily coffee consumption. The results of the survey are shown in the table below. Perform the appropriate test at alpha = .05 to determine if the level of daily coffee consumption is related to customer age.  Note: this problem required the use of Minitab for step 3. Please could attach the file of the Minitab picture. Thank you!

Respondent's Age Group:

Daily Consumption Level:; < 30 Years; 30 to < 40 Years; 40 < 50 Years; 50 and Older;

Low (less than 2 cups) 36; 15; 10; 26

Moderate (2 to 3 cups) 32; 30; 24; 24

High (more than 3 cups) 21; 27; 20; 22

Company ABC is considering opening warehouses in four cities in Canada: Ottawa, Toronto, Calgary and Winnipeg. Each warehouse can ship 100 units per day. The daily fixed cost of keeping each warehouse open is $400 for Ottawa, $500 for Toronto, $300 for Calgary and $350 for Winnipeg. Region 1 of the country requires 80 units per day, region 2 requires 70 units per day and region 3 requires 40 per day. The costs (including production and shipping costs) of sending one unit from plant to a region are shown below in the table. The company wants to meet daily demands at a minimum cost subject to the preceding information and following restrictions:

To ($): From Region 1 Region 2 Region 3
Ottawa 20 40 50
Toronto 48 15 26
Calgary 26 35 18
Winnipeg 24 50 35

a) If Ottawa warehouse is opened, then Calgary warehouse must be opened.

b) At most two warehouses can be opened

c) Either Winnipeg or Calgary warehouse must be opened.

The company wants to minimize the daily cost of meeting demand.
