Sephora wants to evaluate the effect of its loyalty program with customer lifetime value (CLV). The expected profits per customer is assumed to be $300 over the next five years, the chur rate is 15% before the program and 10% after Sephora launched the program. The development cost of the program is $200,000,000.

Fill in the CLV table below.

Calculate the ROI of the loyalty program.

Donald Rice sold the building that housed the restaurant/lounge he owned and operated for the last 10 years and has recently purchased a larger building in a new location. Mr. Rice hopes to operate a new restaurant and expand his growing business. The building has four equal size rooms. Donald’s restaurant consists of four major departments (areas of his operation):

1.        Dining area

2.         Lounge/Bar

3.        Kitchen

4.        Storage/Refrigeration/Loading area

Donald envisioned using the four rooms to occupy four areas of his operation. The distance matrix among the four rooms is as follows (all distance values are given in feet):

Distance Matrix

Based on his experience from his previous restaurant, he estimated the following number of trips per hour between departments:

At a gymnastics meet, three judges evaluate the balance beam performances of five gymnasts. The judges use a scale of 1 to 10, where 10 is a perfect score. A statistician wants to examine the objectivity and consistency of the judges. Assume scores are normally distributed. (You may find it useful to reference the q table.)

a-1. Construct an ANOVA table. (Round intermediate calculations to at least 4 decimal places. Round "SS", "MS", "p-value" to 4 decimal places and "F" to 3 decimal places.)

a-2. If average scores differ by gymnast, use Tukey’s HSD method at the 5% significance level to determine which gymnasts’ performances differ. (Negative values should be indicated by a minus sign. Round intermediate calculations to at least 4 decimal places. Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)

Assignment Instructions:

1) The Factorial The factorial of a non-negative integer ??, denoted by ??!, is the product of all positive integers less than or equal to ??. The textbook has an example of a recursive MIPS implementation of factorial. Additionally, a simplified version of the MIPS assembly language recursive implementation of the factorial function is attached. Trace the factorial example carefully using QTSPIM

2) Recursive definition of multiplication The function ??????????(??, ??) for two positive integers 1 ? ??, and 1 ? ??, is defined as the following: ??????????(??, 1) = ??; ??????????(??, ??) = ?? + ??????????(??, ?? ? 1) Write a recursive version of ??????????() in C or C++ and a pseudo C program (based on chapter 2 in the book) then use these programs to develop a MIPS program that gets as input two integers 0 < ?? ? 255, and 0 < ?? ? 255, and returns the result of ??????????(??, ??) in $v1. Your deliverable should be the pseudo C and the assembly level function

In target marketing, the goal is to target certain customers for promotions. A promotion might consist of mailing a special catalogue to a customer. Firms maintain large databases of information on their customers. One of the most useful variables is frequency of purchases; i.e., how often a customer makes a purchase. A customer is randomly chosen from the record of existing customers and sent a special catalogue. Let N represent a random variable that takes value 1 if a customer makes a new purchase and value 0 if otherwise. Let F be a random variable representing purchase frequency, where F takes on values {1, 2, 3, 4}. - A value of F = 1 indicates that 1 purchase was made within the last year. - A value of F = 2 indicates that 2 - 10 purchases were made within the last year. - A value of F = 3 indicates that 11 - 20 purchases were made within the last year. - A value of F = 4 indicates that more than 20 purchases were made within the last year. The marketing research department has determined that the joint probability distribution of (N,F) is given by the following table: N=0 N=1 F=1 0.08 0.02 F=2 0.36 0.24 F=3 0.10 0.10 F=4 0.02 0.08 a) CalculatePNF(1,2). b) Calculate and interpret pN (1). c) Calculate the marginal distribution of F, PF(f ). d) Calculate the conditional distribution of F given N = 1. e) Calculate the conditional distribution of N given F = 4. f) Calculate the conditional expectation E(N |F = 4). g) Consider the relationship between N and F. Would you expect N and F to be independent? Explain your answer. Based on the joint probability distribution, are N and F independent? Explain your answer. Briefly explain a plausible strategy for targeting customers for promotions, based on the work done in this problem. Use language accessible to someone who has not taken a statistics course and limit your explanation to at most five sentences.

A student started a synthesis of alum with 3.4x10^-2 mole aluminum:

2Al (s) + 6h2O (I) + 2KOH (aq)------> 2K[Al(OH)4] (aq) + 3H2 (g) (1)

2K[Al(OH)4] (aq) + H2SO4 (aq) ------> 2Al(OH)3 (s) +2 K2SO4 (aq) + 2H2O (I) (2)

2Al(OH)3 (s) + 3H2SO4 (aq) ---------> Al2(SO4)3 (aq) + 6H2O (3)

Al2(SO4)3 (aq) + K2SO4 (aq) + 24 H2O---------> 2KAl(SO4)2 12H2O (4)

a) What theoretical yield of alum, in gram, would be produced from 3.4x10^-2 mole of aluminum?

b) A student obtained 12.4 g alum from the synthesis. If the theortical yield was 19.6 g, what was the percent yield?

On February 1, 2021, Cromley Motor Products issued 7% bonds, dated February 1, with a face amount of $60 million. The bonds mature on January 31, 2025 (4 years). The market yield for bonds of similar risk and maturity was 8%. Interest is paid semiannually on July 31 and January 31. Barnwell Industries acquired $60,000 of the bonds as a long-term investment. The fiscal years of both firms end December 31. (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, PVA of $1, FVAD of $1 and PVAD of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.)
