ZPharma Co., a pharmaceutical company, sells three different products: Zdiet, a Weight Loss Medication, Zataflam, a Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory and Zolymox, an Antibiotic. Due to a new government regulation with regard to pricing medications, suppose that the prices of these products have increased as follows: Zdiet (25%), Zataflam, (20%) and Zolymox, (10%). As a result, the monthly quantity sold from each product declined by the following percentages: Zdiet (35%), Zataflam (12%), and Zolymox (5%). Calculate the price elasticity of demand for the three products: Zdiet, Zataflam and Zolymox. Interpret your results to the best of your ability. Analyze the potential effect of the increase in prices on sales revenue of each product. Now, suppose the decline in demand indicated above was caused by a 20% decrease in income level. How would you best describe each product

Students in a biology class have been randomly assigned to one
of the two mentors for the laboratory portion of the class. A
random sample of final examination scores has been selected from
students supervised by each mentor, with the following
results:
Mentor A: 78, 78, 71, 89, 80, 93, 73, 76
Mentor B: 74, 81, 65, 73, 80, 63, 71, 64, 50, 80
At the 0.05 significance level, is there a difference in the mean
scores?

A national health survey found that men’s heights are normally distributed with mean 69.0 and a standard deviation of 2.8 inches. The same survey found that woman’s heights are normally distributed with a mean of 63.6 and a standard deviation of 2.5 inches. (a) If the International Tall club has a minimum height requirement of 74 inches, what percentage of men meet this requirement? (b) If the International Tall Club accepts the tallest 4% of all women, what is the new minimum height for women?

A random sample of size n1 = 14 is selected
from a normal population with a mean of 74 and a standard deviation
of 6. A second random sample of size n2 = 9 is
taken from another normal population with mean 70 and standard
deviation 14. Let X¯1and X¯2 be the two sample means. Find:
(a) The probability that X¯1-X¯2 exceeds 3.
(b) The probability that 4.4 ≤X¯1-X¯2≤ 5.4.
