The upcoming championship high school football game is a big deal in your little town. The problem is, it is being played in the next biggest town, which is two hours away! To get as many people as you can to attend the game, you decide to come up with a ride-sharing app, but you want to be sure it will be used before you put all the time in to creating it. You determine that if more than three students share a ride, on average, you will create the app.
You conduct simple random sampling of 20 students in a school with a population of 300 students to determine how many students are in each ride-share (carpool) on the way to school every day to get a good idea of who would use the app. The following data are collected:
You and your partner will construct a 90% confidence interval and 95% confidence interval for the mean number of students who share a ride to school, then you will compare and interpret the results.
Part A: Decide which partner will construct each confidence interval, and then state the parameter and check the conditions. (Individual work)
Part B: Construct the confidence interval. Be sure to show all your work, including the degrees of freedom, critical value, sample statistics, and an explanation of your process. (Individual work)
Part C: Interpret, share, and compare. Interpret the meaning of the confidence interval, compare your results with your partner, and describe the difference in the width of the interval and the margin of error. (Collaborative work)
Part D: Use your findings to explain whether you should develop the ride-share app for the football game.

A company, United Consumers, is considering the option of replacing its employer provided insurance plan with what is known as Consumer Directed Health Plan (CDHP). Under this new plan, the company would provide its employees with a sum of money so that the employees can purchase their health plan form the online marketplace. This plan is based on the belief that employees tend to behave more responsibly if they have to spend their own money as consumers. According to a recent study, a market research firm found that generally 41% of the employees (who had the option to choose CDHP) chose CDHP as their choice over their traditional employer sponsored plan. The company, United Consumers, employs 290 people. In order to find out the acceptance of CDHP among its employees, a random sample of 40 employees was selected. Compute the following based on this information:
a. What is the probability that 18 or more employees from this sample chose CDHP as their choice?
b. What is the probability that between 17 and 22 employees from this sample chose CDHP as their choice?

The multiple regressions serve to explain the behavior of one variable (dependent variable) though a set of some explanatory variables for which we can find a logical/theoretically founded relationship with the dependent variable.
Please discuss three business situations (either real or a business situation) with proposed set of 5 explanatory variable. Could you define the expected sign (positive or negative) of these selected explanatory variables?
As e have discussed the usage of the dummy variables propose at least in one of the three cases you discuss previously one or two dummy variables you think are good explanatory variables for the case you are discussing.
