Wenton Powersports produces dune buggies. They have three assembly lines, “Razor,” “Blazer,” and “Tracer,” named after the particular dune buggy models produced on those lines. Each assembly line was originally designed using the same target production rate. However, over the years, various changes have been made to the lines. Accordingly, management wishes to determine whether the assembly lines are still operating at the same average hourly production rate. Production data (in dune buggies/hour) for the last eight hours are as follows. (You may find it useful to reference the F table.)

H0: μRazor = μBlazer = μTracer. HA: Not all population means are equal.
-
H0: μRazor ≤ μBlazer ≤ μTracer. HA: Not all population means are equal.

- John Kittle, an independent insurance agent, uses a five-year moving average to forecast the number of claims made in a single year for one of the large insurance companies he sells for. He has just discovered that a clerk in his employ incorrectly entered the number of claims made four years ago as 1,400 when it should have been 1,200.a. What adjustment should Mr. Kittle make in next year’s forecast to take into account the corrected value of the number of claims four years ago?b. Suppose that Mr. Kittle used simple exponential smoothing with a = .2instead of moving averages to determine his forecast. What adjustment is now required in next year’s forecast? (Note that you do not need to know the value of the forecast for next year in order to solve this problem.)arrow_forwardPlease answer the question. Asap. Thank you.arrow_forwardThe 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…arrow_forward
- Companies in the U.S. car rental market vary greatly in terms of the size of the fleet, the number of locations, and annual revenue. In 2011, Hertz had 320,000 cars in service and annual revenue of approximately $4.2 billion. Suppose the following data show the number of cars in service (1,000s) and the annual revenue ($ millions) for six smaller car rental companies.

Over the last five years, sales of the company's flagship product - the Wizer Anonymizer (the WA) - have been 45000, 45500, 44500, 46000 and 44000 units. This rate of sales is considered average for the product over the last twenty years or so. Ms. Jacobsen believes that the distribution of the WA's sales is normal with a standard deviation of 1500 units. If she were asked to make a forecast of next year's sales to upper management, what is the likelihood that she would be correct if she predicts sales between 43000 and 46000?arrow_forward

- Name the forecasting methodsarrow_forward. In 2010, of a total of 67,000 rooms on the Las Vegas Strip, Caesars Entertainment managed 22,880, while MGM Resorts managed over 12,000. However, owing to the Great Recession and new hotel openings, between 2008 and 2010, MGM's hotel occupancy decreased from 92% to 89%, while its average daily room rate fell from $148 to $108. Meanwhile, CityCenter, managed by MGM Resorts, and the Cosmopolitan opened with 4,000 and 3,000 rooms respectively, and the 1,720-room Sahara closed. (Sources: Caesars Entertainment Corp., Annual Report 2010; MGM Resorts, Annual Report 2010; "Sahara's closure on May 16 will mark `the end of an era'," Las Vegas Sun, March 11, 2011.)
