The NBA along with NCAA conducted a study to test the effectiveness of anew training program that is designed to decrease the weight of new and prospectiveathletes.

Fifty athletes were assigned at random to the current trainingprogram, while the other fifty athletes were assigned to new training program. Aftercommitting themselves to the training programs for three months, the 50 athletes whoreceived the older training program had a mean decrease in weight of 10 pounds with astandard deviation of 8 pounds, and the 50 athletes who received the new trainingprogram had a mean decrease of 18 pounds with a standard deviation of 12 pounds.Does the new training program appear to be more effective than the older trainingprogram in lowering the weight of its new prosþects? Give appropriate statisticalevidence to support your conclusion.

A grocery store is reevaluating the retail price of their oranges. They have a contract where they can purchase oranges for $0.52 per pound. However, this includes high quality oranges (about 40% of the time), low quality oranges (55%), and occasionally rotten fruit (5%). Suppose they sell 80% of all high quality oranges at $1.99 per pound, 65% of all low quality oranges at $1.49 per pound (they offer a sale), and they cannot sell any of the rotten fruit. What is the store's expected profit from a random shipment of 500 pounds of oranges? We do not consider personnel and other overhead costs, only the wholesale cost of the oranges. (Give your answer as a number, no dollar sign included.)

The state and local police departments are trying to analyze crime rates so they can shift their patrols from decreasing-rate areas to areas where rates are increasing. The city and county have been geographically segmented into areas containing 5,000 residences. The police recognize that not all crimes and offenses are reported: people do not want to become involved, consider the offenses too small to report, are too embarrassed to make a police report, or do not take the time, among other reasons. Every month, because of this, the police are contacting by phone a random sample of 1,000 of the 5,000 residences for data on crime. (Respondents are guaranteed anonymity.) Here are the data collected for the past 12 months for one area: CRIME MONTH INCIDENCE SAMPLE SIZE CRIME RATE January 7 1,000 0.007 February 9 1,000 0.009 March 7 1,000 0.007 April 7 1,000 0.007 May 7 1,000 0.007 June 9 1,000 0.009 July 7 1,000 0.007 August 10 1,000 0.010 September 8 1,000 0.008 October 11 1,000 0.011…
In order to take advantage of the burgeoning public interest in sustainability, Klorax has developed a nonsynthetic line of natural cleaning products called GreenClean. One of the first sustainable products Klorax introduced was a natural cold-water detergent. The company has now gathered several years’ worth of sales data for this product in order to develop various forecast models. The company’s marketing department believes that sales increase when there are several major environmental (i.e., “green”) episodes in the national media, such as a government energy report, an increase in gasoline or energy prices, an oil spill, a pollution episode, a company getting positive press for undertaking a major green project, etc. Therefore, the marketing department wants to develop a linear regression forecasting model that relates the number of green episodes reported monthly in the national media to monthly sales of the detergent. The marketing department had several staff members go through…
Your Turn: The Gas Guzzler Tax is imposed on manufacturers on the sale of new-model cars (not minivans, sport utility vehicles, or pickup trucks) whose fuel economy fails to meet certain statutory regulations, to discourage the production of fuel-inefficient vehicles.

Because of the constantly evolving political climate around the United States, Gallup (who regularly conducts polls in the U.S.) conducted a poll just after the inauguration asking U.S. adults if they approve of the initiatives President Biden had implemented in his first few days in office.

Antonio Banderos & Scarves sells headwear that is very popular in the fall-winter season. Units sold are anticipated as follows: October 1,700 November 2,700 December 5,400 January 4,400 14,200 If seasonal production is used, it is assumed that inventory will directly match sales for each month and there will be no inventory buildup. The production manager thinks the above assumption is too optimistic and decides to go with level production to avoid being out of merchandise. She will produce the 14,200 items at a level of 3,550 per month. a. What is the ending inventory at the end of each month? Compare the units sold to the units produced and keep a running total.
