Plot the data, verify that they are roughly linear, and add a line of best fit. Line of Best Fit: 2. Identify and interpret the meaning of the slope and the vertical intercept. 3. Predict the tax for a car which gets 20 MPG. Is this interpolation or extrapolation? 4. Predict the tax for a car which gets 10 MPG. Is this interpolation or extrapolation? 5.

Discuss two extensions to the original GARCH (p,q) model and explain additional characteristics of financial data they might be able to capture.

(c) Compute EVPI and EVSI (in thousands of dollars). (Round your answers to one decimal place.) EVPI $ 3.6 EVSI $ 3.6 Xthousand x thousand Discuss whether the firm should consider a consulting expert who could provide independent forecasts of market conditions for the product. Compared to the EVPI, the EVSI has a low value. This indicates additional information is probably worthwhile

You are the VP, Advertising for “Yo’ Mama” brand, a fashion label that caters to the young, trendy crowd with an urban, hip-hop image. While your customer base has traditionally been largely African-American, you have recognized a tremendous influx of Hispanic consumers into your market.  You are preparing for next week’s annual budget meetings and you have decided to recommend an Hispanic-focused advertising campaign if the average monthly per store sales to Hispanic customers are at least the same as the average monthly per store sales to African-American customers in a sample of typical stores (sales data given below).  Using an alpha of .05 and the 5-step hypothesis testing process, what will you recommend?  Hint:  Think about how many data points you actually have.

Freddy is the owner of Freddy’s fast fuel for Small Aircraft specializing in “Providing flight fit fantastic fuel” for small general aviation aircraft such as a Cessna 172. Freddy is experimenting with a fueling process involving new equipment and is trying to determine if the current process takes more time than the new process with the new equipment he is experimenting with. If the current process takes more time than the new process, Freddy will purchase some new, rather expensive fueling equipment to use across several small general aviation airports his company services. Freddy is comparing sample mean times to evaluate his hypothesis about the population (total number of aircraft fuel fill-ups). Over the period of a week, he took a random sample of fuel fill-up times using both the old and new processes. Using the information Freddy provided, you ran a t-test for independent samples. These are the results (α = .05).    t-Test: Two-Sample Assuming Unequal Variance   Current…
