13. The data below shows height​ (in inches) and pulse rates​ (in beats per​ minute) of a random sample of women. Construct a​ scatterplot, find the value of the linear correlation coefficient​ r, and find the​ P-value using a=0.05. Is there sufficient evidence to conclude that there is a linear correlation between height and pulse​ rate?

What are the null and alternative​ hypotheses?

Construct the scatterplot.

The linear correlation coefficient r is _____

(Round to three decimal places as​ needed.)

The test statistic t is _____

(Round to three decimal places as​ needed.)

The​ P-value is ______

(Round to three decimal places as​ needed.)

Because the​ P-value is (greater,less) than the significance level 0.05​, there (is not, is) sufficient evidence to support the claim that there is a linear correlation between selling price​ (in hundred​ thousands) and the list price​ (in hundred​ thousands) of homes sold for a significance level of a=0.05.

Kingston Company produces precision components. Kingston has 2 customer groups. One group, with 4 large customers, accounts for 60 percent of the sales. The remaining group, consisting of 20 small customers, accounts for the rest of the sales. Data for Q1 2020 concerning Kingston's customer group activity follow:

Customer Group

Large Customers Group

Small Customers Group

Units purchased

300,000

200,000

Sales revenue

$1,800,000

$1,200,000

Manufacturing costs

$900,000

$600,000

Orders placed

12

420

Number of sales calls

20

230

Q1 indirect costs consist of order-filling costs of $360,000 and sales-force costs of $300,000.

Kingston defines Group Profit = Sales revenue – Manufacturing costs – indirect costs

Required:

  1. Allocate the indirect costs to the customer groups based on sales revenue. This represents a traditional allocation approach. Determine the group profit of each of the two groups of customers.
  2. Allocate the indirect costs to the customer groups using an activity-based costing approach. Order-filling costs should be allocated based on orders placed and sales force costs allocated based on number of sales calls. Determine the group profit of each of the two groups of customers.
  3. Briefly compare the results of the two alternatives. Which method of allocation provides a better assessment of actual performance?

How did the group carry out the attack? Provide a detailed description of the attack.

Why did the attackers choose this particular target? What did they hope to achieve?

How did investigators identify the attackers? Was anyone punished for the attack?

Conclude your report by explaining whether the group achieved its goal.

Support your responses with examples.
