Google became a publicly-traded company in August 2004. Initially, the stock traded over 10 million shares each day! Since the initial offering, the volume of stock traded daily has decreased substantially. In 2010, the mean daily volume in Google stock was 5.44 million shares, according to Yahoo! Finance. A random sample of 35 trading days in 2014 resulted in a sample mean of 3.28 million shares with a standard deviation of 1.68 million shares. Does the evidence suggest that the volume of Google stock has changed since 2007? Use a 0.05 level of significance.

1. Job-order costing and process costing have the same basic purpose. What is this purpose?

2. Explain under what conditions it would be appropriate to use a job-order costing system, and under what conditions would it be appropriate to use a process costing system. In your answer, include an example of a company (industry) that would use job-order costing, and a company (industry) that would use process costing.

3. The major difference between job-order costing and process costing is in how product costs are accumulated. Explain how costs are accumulated in job-order costing, and how costs are accumulated in process costing.

Suppose that Ken teaches two sections of a course in kinesiology down at Kommunity Kollege. Ken teaches a day section of the course and an evening section of the course, both on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Ken wants to know if teaching with whimsical hand puppets can increase student learning. Ken decides to teach his day section with hand puppets and his evening section without hand puppets for the entire semester. When Ken created his syllabus, he forgot that he was scheduled to attend the Kinesiology Konference during the third week of the semester, so he had to cancel a week of lectures and fell behind on the course material. Oh, and then partway through the semester, a pandemic strikes, causing widespread illness, crippling world economies, and forcing Ken to give all of his remaining lectures online sitting at a card table in his frigid basement. During the online lectures, Ken is able to illuminate his basement with daylight through the windows during the day section but Ken has to use lamps for illumination during the evening class. Ken gives his lectures online but also records them for students who want to watch them again later. Ken is such a klutz with Zoom that the sound on his first week of online lectures does not get recorded properly and all the video recordings for the first week of online lectures are silent, with no audio. At the end of the semester, Ken gives the students what most people would call a test but what Ken calls a “Kommencement Kwiz”. Ken finds that the Kommencement Kwiz scores of the puppet group are significantly higher than the scores of the no-puppet group.

1.  (4 points) What is the independent variable?

2.  (4 points) What is the dependent variable?

3.  (4 points) Are the lectures that Ken had to cancel to attend the Kinesiology Konference a confound?  Why or why not?

4.  (4 points) Is the time of day of the lectures a confound?  Why or why not?

Do you take the free samples offered in supermarkets? About 58% of all customers will take free samples. Furthermore, of those who take the free samples, about 32% will buy what they have sampled. Suppose you set up a counter in a supermarket offering free samples of a new product. The day you were offering free samples, 309 customers passed by your counter. (Round your answers to four decimal places.)

(a) What is the probability that more than 180 will take your free sample?

(b) What is the probability that fewer than 200 will take your free sample?

(c) What is the probability that a customer will take a free sample and buy the product? Hint: Use the multiplication rule for dependent events. Notice that we are given the conditional probability P(buy|sample) = 0.32, while P(sample) = 0.58.

(d) What is the probability that between 60 and 80 customers will take the free sample and buy the product? Hint: Use the probability of success calculated in part (c).
