1. How profitable are different sectors of the stock market? One way to answer such a...

1. How profitable are different sectors of the stock market? One way to answer such a question is to examine profit as a percentage of stockholder equity. A random sample of 28 retail stocks such as Toys 'R' Us, Best Buy, and Gap was studied for x1, profit as a percentage of stockholder equity. The result was x1 = 13.9. A random sample of 36 utility (gas and electric) stocks such as Boston Edison, Wisconsin Energy, and Texas Utilities was studied for x2, profit as a percentage of stockholder equity. The result was x2 = 10.1. Assume that σ1 = 4.6 and σ2 = 4.0.

(a) Categorize the problem below according to parameter being estimated, proportion p, mean μ, difference of means μ1μ2, or difference of proportions p1p2. Then solve the problem.

μp1p2    μ1μ2p



(b) Let μ1 represent the population mean profit as a percentage of stockholder equity for retail stocks, and let μ2 represent the population mean profit as a percentage of stockholder equity for utility stocks. Find a 99% confidence interval for μ1μ2. (Use 1 decimal place.)

lower limit
upper limit

(c) Examine the confidence interval and explain what it means in the context of this problem. Does the interval consist of numbers that are all positive? all negative? of different signs? At the 99% level of confidence, does it appear that the profit as a percentage of stockholder equity for retail stocks is higher than that for utility stocks?

A. Because the interval contains only positive numbers, we can say that the profit as a percentage of stockholder equity is higher for retail stocks.

B. Because the interval contains both positive and negative numbers, we can not say that the profit as a percentage of stockholder equity is higher for retail stocks.    

C. We can not make any conclusions using this confidence interval.

D. Because the interval contains only negative numbers, we can say that the profit as a percentage of stockholder equity is higher for utility stocks.

2. Anystate Auto Insurance Company took a random sample of 384 insurance claims paid out during a 1-year period. The average claim paid was $1585. Assume σ = $256.

Find a 0.90 confidence interval for the mean claim payment. (Round your answers to two decimal places.)

Answer the following questions:
1. Guests at a busy eight-story four-star hotel are consistently complaining about having
to wait too long for the elevator. At 8:00am, some of the elevators are in use by the
housekeeping department whose associates are going up to begin work on the guest
rooms. At the same time, room service has an elevator blocked off to serve in-room
breakfasts because the kitchen and the banqueting departments are using the service
elevators. Then, at about 10:30 am, the housekeepers use the elevators to go down for
their morning break. Guests have come to you as a front office supervisor to report the
issue.

Question:
The general manager recognises your potential and asks you to come up with
suggestions to take care of the problem/challenge. 20 marks

2. As a front office supervisor, you have realised that a client disagrees with your front
office clerk on a request being made. The client is not happy about the outcome and is
seriously angry. Does that mean that the message has not been properly understood by
the client? Or could it mean something else? Explain 20 marks
