McDonald's Corporation is an American fast food company, founded
in 1940 as a
restaurant operated by Richard and Maurice McDonald , in San
Bernardino, California ,
United States. They rechristened their business as a hamburger
stand, and later
turned the company into a franchise , with the Golden Arches logo
being introduced in
1953 at a location in Phoenix, Arizona . Although McDonald's is
best known for its
hamburgers, cheeseburgers and french-fries , they feature chicken
products,
breakfast items, soft drinks , milkshakes , wraps , and desserts .
In response to changing
consumer tastes and a negative backlash because of the
unhealthiness of their food,
the company has added to its menu salads , fish , smoothies , and
fruit .
In March 2010, McDonald’s Corp. announced a policy to increase
summer sales by
selling all soft drinks, no matter the size, for $ 1.00. The policy
would run for 150 days
starting after Memorial Day. The $ 1.00 drink prices were a
discount from the
suggested price of $ 1.39 for a large soda. Some franchises worried
that discounting
drinks, whose sales compensate for discounts on other products,
could hurt overall
profits, especially if customers bought other items from the Dollar
Menu. McDonald’s
managers expected this promotion would draw customers from other
fast-food
chains and from convenience stores such as 7-Eleven. Additional
customers would
also help McDonald’s push its new beverage lineup that included
smoothies and
frappes. Discounted drinks did cut into McDonald’s coffee sales in
previous years as
some customers chose the drinks rather than pricier espresso
beverages. Other chain
with new drink offerings, such as Burger King and Taco Bell, could
face pressure from
the $ 1.00 drinks at McDonalds.
Questions
a. Given the change in price for a large soda from $ 1.39 to $ 1,
how much would
quantity demanded have to increase for McDonald’s revenues to
increase?
b. What is the sign of the implied cross-price elasticity with
drinks from McDonald’s
competitors?
c. What are the other benefits and costs to McDonald’s of this
discount drink policy?

You are interested in finding a 98% confidence interval for the average commute that non-residential students have to their college. The data below show the number of commute miles for 10 randomly selected non-residential college students. Round answers to 3 decimal places where possible.
| 11 | 11 | 27 | 10 | 20 | 27 | 18 | 23 | 8 | 18 |
a. To compute the confidence interval use a
distribution.
b. With 98% confidence the population mean commute for non-residential college students is between and miles.
c. If many groups of 10 randomly selected non-residential college students are surveyed, then a different confidence interval would be produced from each group. About percent of these confidence intervals will contain the true population mean number of commute miles and about percent will not contain the true population mean number of commute miles.

1 ) If a flight is on time 90% of the time, use a normal approximation to the binomial to find the probability that between 175 and 190 out of a total of 200 flights will be on time.
2)- In a study done by Statistics Weekly, they found that 12% of people believe that there will eventually be a zombie apocalypse. Suppose we have a random sample of 500, would it be unusual to find 43 people who believe that there will eventually be a zombie apocalypse. Would it be unusual to find 70 people who believe that there will eventually be a zombie apocalypse?
3-) The age at the time of marriage was obtained for a random sample of 10 women. The results were 28, 24, 22, 25, 33, 35, 27, 26, 27, 20. Assume that the population has a normal distribution. Find a 90% confidence interval for the mean age at which a woman marries. Interpret your answer.
