- Answer question 5 on p. 270 of Business Research Methods.
- Write a 150- to 200-word response for each part of the question. Provide a rationale to support your answers.
- Mathematics - Statistics
- 1. Consider the following raw data, which is the result of selecting a random sample of 20 condominium sales in a particular development. The sale prices are given in thousands of dollars ($1,000s).
- 131 142 120 135 126
- 153 135 131 126 133
- 147 137 130 126 140
- 138 144 132 132 138
- 1a. Compute the mean, median, mode, and standard deviation, Q1, Q3, Min, Max for the above sample data on sale prices.
- 1b. In the context of this situation, interpret the Median, Q1, and Q3.
- 2. Consider the following data on newly hired employees in relation to which part of the country they were born and their highest degree attained.
- HS BS MS PHD Total
- East 3 5 2 1 11
- Midwest 7 9 2 0 18
- South 5 8 6 2 21
- West 1 7 8 6 22
- Total 16 29 18 9 72
- If you choose one person at random, then find the probability that the person
- Has a PHD
- Is from the East and has a BS as the highest degree attained.
- Has only a HS degree, given that person is from the West.
- 3. Historically, 70% of your customers at Rodale Emporium pay for their purchases using credit cars. In a sample of 20 customers, find the probability that
- Exactly 14 customers will pay for their purchases using credit cards.
- At least 10 customers will pay for their purchases using credit cards.
- At most 12 customers will pay for their purchases using credit cards.
- 4. Pharmacies continually monitor their prescription filling process. A local pharmacy has noted that the time to fill a prescription for a generic antibiotic is normally distributed, with a mean of 13.3 minutes and a standard deviation of 2.8 minutes.
- find the probability that a prescription for a generic antibiotic takes at least 10 minutes to fill.
- Find the probability that the prescription for a generic antibiotic takes between 12 and 15 minutes to fill.
- The slowest 20% of prescriptions fills result in a special discount to the customer. How long must a prescription fill for a generic antibiotic take in order to qualify for this discount?
- 5. A survey is taken of U.S. companies that do business with firms in India. One of the questions in the survey was: “Approximately how many years has your company been trading with firms in India?” A random sample of 44 responses to this question yields the following results:
- Sample
- Sample years
- Sample Standard years
- Compute 95% confidence interval for the population mean number of years of trading with firms in India.
- Interpret this interval.
- How many firms should be sampled if we wish to generate a 95% confidence interval for the mean number of years of trading with firms in India that is accurate to within 1 year?
- 6. A marketing research firm wishes to estimate the proportion of adults who are planning to buy a new car in the next 6 months. A simple random sample of 100 adults led to 22 who were planning to buy a new car in the next 6 months.
- Compute the 95% confidence interval for the proportion of adults who
