Chapter 1, Problem 34PS
A recent survey points to tremendous revenue potential and consumer value in leveraging driver and vehicle data in the automobile industry. The 2017 KPMG Global Automotive Executive Study found that automobile executives believe data will be the fuel for future business models and that they will make money from that data (prn.to/2q9rubN). Eighty-two percent of automobile executives agree that in order to create value and consequently monetize data a car needs its own ecosystem/operating system; otherwise the valuable consumer and/or vehicle data will likely be routed through third parties and valuable revenue streams will be lost. What additional information would you want to know about the survey before you accepted the results of the study?

Concur Technologies, Inc., is a large expense-management company located in Redmond, Washington. The Wall Street Journal asked Concur to examine the data from 8.3 million expense reports to provide insights regarding business travel expenses. Their analysis of the data showed that New York was the most expensive city, with an average daily hotel room rate of $198 and an average amount spent on entertainment, including group meals and tickets for shows, sports, and other events, of $172. In comparison, the U.S. averages for these two categories were $89 for the room rate and $99 for entertainment. The table in the Excel Online file below shows the average daily hotel room rate and the amount spent on entertainment for a random sample of 9 of the 25 most visited U.S. cities (The Wall Street Journal, August 18, 2011).

In 2015, over 30,00030,000 Americans died from opioid overdoses, and the number of inpatient stays and emergency visits to hospitals related to opioids increased dramatically compared to previous years. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) have partnered with the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project (HCUP) to gather data on opioid-related deaths and hospitalizations. These data include information about inpatient stays, emergency department visits, age, sex, income, and opioid-related use. For a given patient admitted to a hospital for an opioid-related event, identify which of these events are disjoint.
A) The patient was 62 years old.
B) The patient did not visit the emergency room.
C) The patient was male.
D) The patient was admitted to a large metropolitan hospital.
E) The patient's case was critical and they were admitted to the emergency room.

Although the nation’s labor market shows a decline in the unemployment rate, the percentage of young adults, ages 18 to 24, currently employed (54 percent) is at the lowest level since the government data collection began in 1948.
