Theoretical question:

What is the Research Purpose, Objective, and Design?

Also: What is the sampling method & size, data collection method as well as data analysis & Presentation?

The American Conservatory theater, a major repertory theater located in San Francisco, was completing its tenth season. The management team at ACT decided to conduct a major research study, intended to help their planning effort. A questionnaire was deceloped and mailed to their approximately 9,000 season subscribers. A return rate of 40% was obtained. A sample of 982 of these turned questionnaires was selected for analysis.

One of the major interest ACT management was in developing an understanding of the dynamics of the process whereby individuals became ACT subscriber. To assist in this process, whereby individuals became ACT suscribers. To assist in this this process, the sample was divided into four different groups according to their behavior pattern over the 5 seasons.

1. Continual subscriber (32%)- subscribed all 10 seasons

2. Gradual 31%- one or more seasons of attendance followed by becoming a suscriber

3. Sudden 21%- became a subscriber without attending prior performance

4. miscellaneous patterns 21%

The existence of a substantial "sudden subscriber" group was surprising and ran counter to conventional belief among theater managers that people were first enticed to attend a few performances at a particular theater and only after they had some positive experiences with this theater would they become suscribers.

The next step in the research study was to attempt to identify characteristics of the continual, gradual, and sudden subscriber groups that might be of use in understanding the segment differences and as inputs in the development of audience building and retention programs. Five variables appeared to be useful in this regard.

1. Years resident in the San Francisco Bay Area, measured on a scale ranging from 1= two years or less to 5= more than 20 years.

2 Age of suscribers, measured on a scale ranging from 1=25 years old or less to 5= more than 65 years old.

3.Household income, measured on a scale ranging from 1=50,000 per year.

4. whether the subscriber spend more than 20 hours each week watching TV, measured as a dummy variable: 1 if yes, 0 ifno

5. attendence at 6 other institutions that is ballet, civic light, opera, DeYoung museum, museum of modern art, opera, and symphony. The attendance score is the number of the six different activities that the respondent attended at least once in the previous year

In January 2017, Mitzu Co. pays $2,700,000 for a tract of land with two buildings on it. It plans to demolish Building 1 and build a new store in its place. Building 2 will be a company office; it is appraised at $570,000, with a useful life of 20 years and a $85,000 salvage value. A lighted parking lot near Building 1 has improvements (Land Improvements 1) valued at $570,000 that are expected to last another 19 years with no salvage value. Without the buildings and improvements, the tract of land is valued at $1,860,000. The company also incurs the following additional costs:

8. Peter Griffin calculates that his portfolio's risk, as measured by the standard deviation, is 19.67%. His portfolio is made up of many stocks from just two companies, South Park Company and Quahog Company. South Park Co.'s returns have a standard deviation of 12.9% and Quahog Co.'s returns have a standard deviation of 28.84%. If the weight of Quahog Co. in his portfolio is 48.21%, what is the correlation between the returns of Quahog and South Park.

A portfolio has an excess return of 15.9 % and a standard deviation of 15.23 %. What is the Sharpe Ratio for this portfolio?

3. Design and draw a circuit using the cascade system to operate two cylinders (A and B) which, on the operation of a start valve, produces the sequence A – B + B – A+. The cylinders should park in the positions B – A + when the start switch is in the ‘off’ position.

4. Modify the circuit designed for question 3 to provide an emergency stop which will park both cylinders in the extended position (i.e. A + B +).

5. Modify the circuit designed for question 3 to provide a fail safe. The fail safe should:

(a) act in the event of a reduced pressure at inlet to the group selecting valve

(b) park the cylinders in the retracted position

A pontoon on granite in a park has maximum weight of 12 people or 1776 Ib . if mean weight for men is 172 Ib each standard deviation of 29 Ib.

a)find the probability if an individual man is randomly selected, his weight will be greater than 148 Ib.

b)Find the probability that 8 random selected men will have mean greater than 222Ib( hence total weight exceeds the maximum capacity pontoon
