Question
Jim and John run a barber shop. Every night, both of them predict how many guests will
come on the next day. Over the last four days, they have collected some data about their
predictions and the actual outcome. Jim predicts the number of guests to be 56 for day 1,
50 for day 2, 45 for day 3, and 59 for day 4. John predicts 47, 49, 51, and 51 for the four respective days. The actual numbers of guests turn out to be 45, 51, 41, and 61. Who has
the bigger forecast bias? What are the MSE and the MAE for Jim and John?

- Could you please answer number 3 and number 4?arrow_forwardThe whole data set will be in the two picturesarrow_forwardA statistics instructor would like to know whether it is worthwhile to require students to do weekly homework assignments. For Section1 of the course, homework is assigned, collected and graded each week. In Section2, students are not required to turn in homework. At the end of the semester, the students are given the same final exam. In Section1, the numbers of students getting each grade are: 16 students got A, 22 students got B, 8 students got C, and 4 students got D. In Section2, the numbers of students getting each grade are: 8 students got A, 18 students got B, 18 students got C, and 6 students got D. Is there an association between assigning homework and exam grade? Test at the alpha = 0.05 level. a. We reject the null hypothesis with two-tailed critical values; there is an association between assigning homework and exam grade. b. We reject the null hypothesis with one-tailed critical value; there is an association between assigning homework and exam…arrow_forward

You'd like to know if there is a difference in guest satisfaction between the two hotels. To investigate this, you conduct a survey and ask guests upon departure if they are likely to return to the hotel in the future. For The Palms, 163 out of 227 guests who were surveyed responded " yes ". For Golden Sands, 154 out of 262 guests responded "yes ". Answer the following questions. Round any numbers in your final answers to 2 decimals. 1) Calculate a 95 % confidence interval for the difference in satisfaction rates between The Palms and Golden Sands (Show work) 2) Use the critical value approach to test, at a 1% significance level, whether or not the guest satisfaction rates are different between the two hotels. What do you conclude ? (In your answer, show the steps involved with testing) 3) What is the p-value of your test in part 2?arrow_forward
