A state board of directors is trying to determine if there is a difference in pay for teachers at its two universities. The first university has 42 teachers with an average pay of $58,500 and a population standard deviation of $3,200. The second university has 51 teachers with an average pay of $60,200 and a population standard deviation of $11,700. Determine if there is a difference using a 0.05 level of significance.

Thank you!

Fuzzy logic modeling has many advantages over the conventional rule induction algorithm. For the discussion forum, you work in the admissions office of a University. There are a large number of applicants to the University. You classify them into three clusters-admitted, rejected, and those who should be admitted. For the third cluster, how would you handle this taking into consideration the fuzzy logic modeling? Would ranking be a consideration?

1. Retirement Savings After completing your MBA, you are committed to saving for retirement. To do so, you plan to maximize your contributions to your tax-deferred (401k) retirement account. You plan to invest your savings in low-cost equity mutual funds. In your opinion, this will give you an 8% effective annual rate of return. You plan to work 30 years, then retire. A. What is the APR with monthly compounding that will yield an effective annual rate of 8%?

B. If you contribute $1,000 to your retirement account each month, what will the value of your retirement account be 30 years from today? Assume your first deposit is made in one month and your last deposit is made on your retirement day—30 years from today. For this problem, assume a monthly interest rate of 65 bps (0.65%).

C. Assume you wait to save for retirement. Instead of starting in your first year of employment, you start 10 years later and save for 20 years (i.e., your first monthly deposit is 10 years and one month from today). What is the value of your retirement savings 30 years from today? For this problem, assume a monthly interest rate of 65 bps (0.65%).

D. Assume your retirement account is worth $1,000,000 on the date of your retirement. While you will continue to earn 65 bps per month on your investments, you plan to make monthly withdrawals while in retirement. Assuming you would like to make monthly withdrawals for the next 40 years (whereupon you promptly drop dead or become a ward of the state), how much can you withdraw from your retirement account each month?

With the growing popularity of casual surf print clothing, two recent MBA graduates decided to broaden this casual surf concept to encompass a “surf lifestyle for the home.” With limited capital, they decided to focus on surf print table and floor lamps to accent people’s homes. They projected unit sales of these lamps to be 8,100 in the first year, with growth of 5 percent each year for the next five years. Production of these lamps will require $46,000 in net working capital to start. The net working capital will be recovered at the end of the project. Total fixed costs are $106,000 per year, variable production costs are $12 per unit, and the units are priced at $40 each. The equipment needed to begin production will cost $186,000. The equipment will be depreciated using the straight-line method over a five-year life and is not expected to have a salvage value. The effective tax rate is 21 percent and the required rate of return is 20 percent. What is the NPV of this project? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

The following data set shows the entrance exam score​ (Verbal GMAT) for each of eight MBA students along with his or her grade point average​ (GPA) upon graduation.

Gmat- 310, 290, 270, 290, 360, 280, 300, 290

Gpa- 3.7, 3.1, 3.1, 3.2, 3.9, 2.9, 3.6, 3.1

A linear regression on the data gives the equation below.

Predicted GPA=−0.022695+0.011206(GMAT)

With the growing popularity of casual surf print clothing, two recent MBA graduates decided to broaden this casual surf concept to encompass a “surf lifestyle for the home.” With limited capital, they decided to focus on surf print table and floor lamps to accent people’s homes. They projected unit sales of these lamps to be 7,000 in the first year, with growth of 8 percent each year for the next five years. Production of these lamps will require GH¢35,000 in net working capital to start. Total fixed costs are GH¢ 95,000 per year, variable production costs are GH¢ 20 per unit, and the units are priced at GH¢48 each. The equipment needed to begin production will cost GH¢175,000. The equipment will be depreciated using the straight-line method over a five-year life and is not expected to have a salvage value. The effective tax rate is 34 percent, and the required rate of return is 25 percent. Evaluate the project using NPV.

Suppose that a MBA level stat course is taught using four different methods of instruction: (1) 100% online; (2) a “half and half” format where one week the class meets for a lecture, the next week, material is posted online, etc.; (3) traditional weekly lecture meetings plus supplementary material posted online; and (4) traditional weekly lecture meeting with no use of the web.     Twenty students are surveyed from each course and are asked to estimate the average number of hours per week that they spent on the course, including time spent attending lectures if the course had any. The results appear in the included data file.

(a)    Create boxplots for these four sets of data (all on the same graph). Based on the plots, what do you think about the ANOVA assumptions of normal populations and equal variances? (You’ll test these in Part (d), I’m just interested in a visual interpretation here.)   Your answer should include justification….. don’t just say ‘yup’ or ‘nope.’

(b)    Create interval plots for this data (four intervals on the same plot) so that we can visually compare the four groups. This is the plot that shows a confidence interval for each unknown population mean. Based on the plot, do you believe that the population mean time spent is the same for all groups? Again, show the reasoning behind your answer.

(c)    Let μ1 represent the population mean time spent for method (1), μ2 the mean time spent for method (2), and so on. Test the null hypothesis that all means are equal at the 0.05 level of significance, versus the usual ANOVA alternative.

(d)    Is there evidence of violations of the usual ANOVA assumptions of equal variances and normal populations? Set up and perform appropriate TESTS at the α = 0.05 level of significance.  

(e)    If your answer in Part (c) was to “reject H0” then perform an appropriate statistical procedure to determine which means are different from which other means (a visual inspection is not sufficient.).   If differences exist, be sure to report the ‘direction’ of the d
