You are part of a government task force evaluating whether new models of cars will meet fuel efficiency standards set out by the newly signed climate bill.
You have run an ANCOVA model that predicts fuel efficiency (in miles per gallon) as a function of vehicle weight (measured in thousands of lbs, where a value of 2.5 would correspond to 2,500 lbs), horsepower, and number of cylinders in the car (cylinders is a factor in this model with 3 levels: 4 cylinders, 6 cylinders, and 8 cylinders).
Your analysis tells you the following;
The mean miles per gallon of all cars analyzed is 20.09
The mean weight of all cars analyzed is 3.217 thousand lbs
The mean horsepower of all cars analyzed is 146.7
The regression coefficient for weight is -3.18 miles per gallon per additional thousand lbs
The regression coefficient for horsepower is -0.023 miles per gallon per additional unit of horsepower
Cars with 4 cylinders get 2.13 more miles per gallon, on average, than the average car

A college bookstore must order books two months before each semester starts. They believe that the number of books that will ultimately be sold for any particular course is related to the number of students registered for the course when the books are ordered. They would like to develop a bestfitting line to predict how many books to order. From past records, the bookstore obtains the number of students registered, X, and the number of books actually sold for a course, Y , for 12 different semesters.A scatterplot of the data along with the best fitting line is presented below.
a. The correlation between the two variables is r = .89. Calculate and interpret the value of r2.b. The equation for the best fitting line is Y = 9.30 + 0.673X. Explain and interpret the value of 9.30.c. How many books should the store order for a class of 50 students? Would you trust this prediction?
A biologist has 400 kg of nutrient A, 500 kg of nutrient B,
and 300 kg of nutrient C. These nutrients will be used to
make 4 types of food, whose contents (in percent per
kilogram of food) and whose 'growth values' are shown on
the right. Set up the initial simplex tableau that would be
used to determine how many kilograms of each food
should be produced in order to maximize total growth.

- At a small but growing airport, the local airline company is purchasing a new tractor for a tractor-trailer train to bring luggage to and from the airplanes. A new mechanized luggage system will be installed in 3 years, so the tractor will not be needed after that. However, because it will receive heavy use, so that the running and maintenance costs will increase rapidly as the tractor ages, it may still be more economical to replace the tractor after 1 or 2 years. The following table gives the total net discounted cost associated with purchasing a tractor (purchase price minus trade-in allowance, plus running and maintenance costs) at the end of year i and trading it in at the end of year j (where year 0 is now). 1 2 3 $18,000 10,000 $31,000 21,000 $8,000 1 2 12,000 The problem is to determine at what times (if any) the tractor should be replaced to minimize the total cost for the tractors over 3 years.

A manufacturer states that the average daily production of its 1.5 kW system is 6.6 kilowatt hours (kWh) for Perth conditions. A consumer group monitored this 1.5 kW system in 20 different Perth homes and measured the average daily production by the systems in these homes over a one month period during October. The data is provided here. (a) Analyse the consumer group’s data to test if the manufacturer’s claim of an average of 6.6 kWh per day is reasonable. State appropriate hypotheses, assumptions and decision rule at α = 0.10. What conclusions would you report to the consumer group? Hint: You will need to find Descriptive Statistics first.)
