Two species of rat were grown under controlled conditions for 16 days and the following weight gains (in grams) were obtained. If the number is negative, it means the rat lost weight. (calculate everything for this problem - do not use built in excel formulas)
Species A -23 4 0 -18 7 32 -4 -2 Species B 21 38 20 24 24 58 16 -16 14 28 -5 25

a) Calculate a 95% confidence interval for each species mean b) Calculate a 95% confidence interval for the difference of the means between each species c) Test the hypothesis that species A has gained no weight. d) Test the hypothesis that the means are equal for both species. (Solve it, do not use Excel formulas) e) Based on your results, describe the differences between the following methods for comparing the samples, and assess whether each is an effective method. Be specific in terms of what each method tells you about these two samples (not just what the results are, but what the method is actually examining to get those results). In other words, which methods, if any, can be misleading, and why? 1) Looking for overlap between the mean ± 1 standard deviation 2) Looking for overlap between (mean ± SE) 3) Looking for overlap between (mean ± 2SE) 4) Looking for overlap between the ranges 5) Seeing if the 95% confidence interval of the difference of the means includes 0.

8. The receipt of boot in a Code Sec. 351 transfer precludes any nonrecognition treatment. T or F

In a Risk Behavior Survey study on college students the following variables were observed:

Risk Behavior Variable:  

Did not wear seatbelt while last time driving a car (0=Wear seatbelt, 1=Not wear seatbelt)

      Risk Factor Variables:

• Sex   (0=Female, 1=Male)
• Race   (1=White, 2=Black, 3=Other)
• Live on campus   (0=Off Campus, 1=On Campus)

The data is in the following address:    http://gchang.people.ysu.edu/stat/log-YRB-18f.xls

(Do not use stepwise regression.)

1. Report the raw odds ratios of not wearing seatbelt for

1. Male versus Female and,
2. White race versus Other race, and
3. Lived On Campus versus Off Campus.

2. Use multiple logistic regression (logistic regression using multiple explanatory variables) to find the significant factor(s) that affects whether students wearing seatbelt or not. (Use all risk factor variables to build the regression model. Do not drop any variables.)

[Paste the R logistic regression output containing parameter estimation information here!]

3. Report the adjusted odds ratios of not wearing seatbelt for

1. Male versus Female and,
2. White race versus Other race, and
3. Lived On Campus versus Off Campus.

(Use the model built in question 2 for answering this question. Do not drop any variables.)

The two companies below are simultaneously deciding to enter the same untapped retail market and opportunities look excellent. The only issue for each is the size of the store to be built. Expected payoffs in millions of dollars are below.

                                                Big-Box                                             

                                    Small       Medium      Large                                                                                                              

               Small :          16,30       8,20           10,10  

YMart:                                                          

               Medium :       18,18       12,15         14, 8

               large   :           15,25       10,23         16, 20             

As a simultaneous play game, (for parts A and B below)

(A) (4 pts) Which, if any, of the players has a dominant strategy?

                        ANSWER: ______________________

(B) (3 pts) If any Nash equilibria exist, identify them. If they are none, so state.

                        ANSWER: ____________________

(C) (3 pts) Now suppose instead of a simultaneous play game, Big-Box, because of better planning and foresight, had the advantage of going first and turning the competition into a sequential game, if it so chooses. However, to go first and credibly go first, Big-Box has to accelerate its construction plans. Because of union overtime provisions and other costs of acceleration, Big-Box would have additional costs of $1 million dollars if it announces and begins building. If it doesn’t choose to accelerate, it has no fear that Ymart will go first because Ymart’s acceleration costs are prohibitive of that strategy.

Should Big-Box go first? Why or why not? Clearly explain your reasoning.

Question 1: Write a program in C++ using multi filing which means 3 files ( main file, header file, and functions file) and attached screenshots as well. Attempt the Question completely which contain a and b parts

a) Write a program that takes a number from the user and checks whether the number entered validates the given format: “0322-5441576”, xxxx-xxxxxxx where “x” implies the digits only and first two digits are 0 and 3 respectively. The program also identifies the Network of the given number. (Use of string related functions is a must)

b) Write a program that takes a string from the user, identifies and counts all unique characters in that given string. You are bound to use only built-in string functions where necessary. For identification of unique characters and for counting of the characters make separate functions.

For character identification

Develop a program that takes a string argument, and returns an array containing all unique characters.

For character counting

Develop a program that takes an array returned from above function as an argument along with the given string and return an array containing the total count of each uniquely identified character present in the argument array.

Note: kindly write a proper code of program mention in Question and answer complete Question along with both parts and screenshots Thanks.....

31-50 775

51-65 300

65+ 175

Your salary is a combination of basic salary + commission. Commission is based on whether the company and investors achieve the desired return. The salary structure fits your profile as you have built up a reputation as being an aggressive financial advisor who seeks to make everyone happy at all costs.

b)Fill out the necessary cells in the spreadsheet to calculate the correlation coefficient ?. Use both the formula in the formula sheet and the built-in CORREL function in Excel to check your work. List the value here: __________

c)Conduct a 7-step hypothesis test as outlined in the PowerPoint to determine if the population correlation coefficient ? is statistically significant with ? = 0.05?

d)From the result of your hypothesis test should there be a regression line? Why or why not?

e)Use Excel to calculate the coefficient of determination ? 2 . List it here: ___________________ What does the value you found for ? 2 say about the explained and unexplained variations? Write the appropriate sentences. Use slides 8-10 in the section 9.3 PowerPoint as your guide
