You have been appointed as the new general manager of a named hotel. The hotel is not performing as expected and is not meeting its target. Your first assignment is to resolve this problem. Describe in details how you would go about addressing this problem. Hint: Describe the data collection approaches you would use (Observation, interviews, surveys, historical research (past 5 years), etc.) and why you chose this specific form of data collection etc.

A hotel manager is looking to enhance the initial impression that hotel guests have when they check in. Believed to contribute to initial impressions is the time it takes to deliver a guest’s luggage to his or her room after check-in. A random sample of 20 deliveries on a particular day were selected from Wing A of the hotel, and a random sample of 20 deliveries were selected in Wing B (i.e., the Excel tab LUGGAGE). (a) Identify which type of test is most appropriate for you to use, justify your answer. (b) Determine whether or not the mean delivery time differs for the two wings of the hotel (use α = .05). (c) If faster luggage delivery time is positively related to guests’ initial impression, which wing(s) should receive the highest impression ratings?

For this project, you get to design and write a WeightedCourseGrade class to keep track of a student's current grade. You also get to design and write WeightedCourseGradeDriver class that requests input from the user and interacts with the WeightedCourseGrade class. Your WeightedCourseGrade class should store the following information: Weighted subtotal (the sum of all of the categories multiplied by the grade category weight) Total category weights (the sum of all the grade category weights) Provide the following methods in your WeightedCourseGrade class: Default constructor Constructor that takes both a category's weight (as a double between 0.0 and 1.0) and that category's grade (as a double between 0.0 and 1.0) (in that order). This constructor should 1) set the weighted subtotal to the category weight times the category grade and 2) set the total category weight to the category weight that was passed to this method. getCategoryWeightsTotal() returns the total category weights as a double getWeightedSubtotal() returns the weighted subtotal as a double addCategoryGrade() takes a category weight (as a double) and a category grade (as a double) and adds the weight to the total category weight field and multiples the two parameters and adds that to the weighted subtotal field getCurrentGrade() returns the weighted subtotal grade divided by the total category weights (as a double) Your WeightedCourseGradeDriver class should create a WeightedCourseGrade object to keep track of the users input. It repeatedly prompts the user for a category weight (between 0.0 and 1.0). If the weight is negative, it stops asking the user for input and displays the current grade (rounded to 3 decimal places). Otherwise, it requests the grade for that category (again, as a ratio, so 0.0 and 1.0). Furthermore, while the grade entered is negative or above 1.0, it prompts the user for a valid grade. If the category weights sum to 1.0 (really within 0.001 of 1.0), it stops asking the user for input and displays the current grade (rounded to 3 decimal places). Otherwise, it prompts the user for another category weight. Do not keep track of the total category weights entered in your WeightedCourseGradeDriver class. Instead, make the appropriate method call using the WeightedCourseGrade object. Each of the methods (which includes the two constructors) in your WeightedCourseGrade class will be tested using unit tests. Additionally, the output of your entire program will be tested with various inputs.
Example 1 Welcome to the Weighted Course Grade Calculator!
Please enter a category weight (0.0..1.0) (or a negative number to stop): 0.14
Please enter the category grade (0.0..1.0): 0.24
Please enter a category weight (0.0..1.0) (or a negative number to stop): 0.1
Please enter the category grade (0.0..1.0): 0.442
Please enter a category weight (0.0..1.0) (or a negative number to stop): 0.23
Please enter the category grade (0.0..1.0): -0.325
Please enter the category grade (0.0..1.0): -0.523
Please enter the category grade (0.0..1.0): -0.235
Please enter the category grade (0.0..1.0): 0.41
Please enter a category weight (0.0..1.0) (or a negative number to stop): 0.14
Please enter the category grade (0.0..1.0): 0.354
Please enter a category weight (0.0..1.0) (or a negative number to stop): 0.02
Please enter the category grade (0.0..1.0): 0.968
Please enter a category weight (0.0..1.0) (or a negative number to stop): 0.19
Please enter the category grade (0.0..1.0): 0.368
Please enter a category weight (0.0..1.0) (or a negative number to stop): -8.0
The current grade is 0.379 (37.9%)
Example 2 Welcome to the Weighted Course Grade Calculator!
Please enter a category weight (0.0..1.0) (or a negative number to stop): 0.50
Please enter the category grade (0.0..1.0): 0.90
Please enter a category weight (0.0..1.0) (or a negative number to stop): 0.50
Please enter the category grade (0.0..1.0): 0.80
The current grade is 0.85 (85.0%)

You purchased land 3 years ago for $75,000 and believe its market value is now $120,000. You are considering building a hotel on this land instead of selling it. To build the hotel, it will initially cost you $205,000, an expense that you plan to depreciate straight line over the next three years. Wells Fargo offered you a loan for $60,000 at an 8% interest rate to be repaid over the next 4 years. You anticipate that the hotel will earn revenues of $334,000 each year, while expenses will be a mere $75,000 each year. The initial working capital requirement will be $14,000 which will be recovered in the last year. The tax rate is 28%. Your estimated cost of capital is 15%. What is the net present value of this project?

Think about a population proportion that you may be interested in and propose a hypothesis test problem for this parameter. Gather appropriate data and post your problem. Include the null and alternative hypothesis, alpha value, p-value, and a conclusion. Make sure that you use appropriate terminology, specify whether you are using the classical method or the p-value method, and fully explain your solution.
I went to a local dog park and counted the number of dogs entering the park around from 5-7 a Friday evening. While there I counted 50 dogs, out of the 50 there were 19 small dogs that arrived at the park that evening. assume a random sample. test this at a 0.25 significance level.
H0: is that there is no statistical significance
H1: there is a statistical significance and it is over 0.05

Many University campuses sell parking permits to their students allowing them to park on campus in designated areas. Although most students complain about the relatively high cost of these permits, what annoys many of these students even more is that after having paid for their permits, vacant parking spaces in the designated lots are very difficult to find during much of the day. Many end up having to park off campus anyway, where permits are not required. Assuming the University is unable to build new parking facilities on campus due to insufficient funds, what recommendation might you propose that would remedy the problem of students with permits being unable to find places to park on campus? (Hint: Think in terms of demand and supply analysis and how a market functions.)

The results of a survey comparing the costs of staying one night in a full-service hotel (including food, beverages, and telephone calls, but not taxes or gratuities) for several major cities are given in the following table. Do the data suggest that there is a significant difference among the average costs of one night in a full-service hotel for the five major cities? Maximum Hotel Costs per Night ($) New York Los Angeles Atlanta Houston Phoenix 289 196 184 292 262 345 214 242 296 262 348 216 333 337 305 277 192 298 257 258 266 262 195 217 199 Step 1 of 2 : Find the value of the test statistic to test for a difference between cities. Round your answer to two decimal places, if necessary.
