Regular gas prices (in 2011$) for a sample of 5 lowa stations, in September of 2011, were 3.66, 3.63, 3.72, 3.60, and 3.58. In the following, the buying power equation, 130.74 (2011$) = 170.57 (2022$), was derived using the BLS CPI Inflation calculator 2(a) What was the average price (in 2011$) of regular gas in Sep 2011 for the sample of 5 lowa stations? 2(b) What was the standard deviation of regular gas prices (in 2011$) in Sep 2011 for the sample of 5 lowa stations? 2(c) What was the 90 percentile of regular gas prices (in 2011$) in Sep 2011 for the sample of 5 lowa stations? 2(d) What was the average inflation-adjusted (to 2022$) price of regular gas in Sep 2011 for the sample of 5 lowa stations? Hint. Each of the 5 adjusted prices will be based on the buying-power equation. 2(e) The average price of regular gas in lowa on July 27, 2022, was $4.00. Compare the price of gas in 2022 (i.e., $4.00) to the average inflation-adjusted (to 2022$) price of gas in 2011 of part 2(d). Specifically, give the inflation-adjusted percent change in regular gas price from Sep 2011 to July 2022; that is, compute " " 2022.price - avg(2011.adjusted.prices) x 100%." avg(2011.adjusted.prices) Type here to search O X 12:04 PM 9/30/2022Mail - OF X O C1 X SkillsChe X M Pulse Sur X Course R X Ap Shopping X Assignm X WI Course S X | Que pie X C Chegg S( X * [Solved] x X - C D @ File | C:/Users/reeto/Downloads/SkillsCheck 1_STAT 1030.pdf Q E X R AIR Update M GMAIL TRANSLATE ICON UI MY UI OFFICE 365 @ YOUTUBE N NETFLIX COURSE HERO !

A observational study of house selling prices found that an increase of one bathroom was associated with a $52,450 increase in predicted (or average) sales price. That is, for whatever reason, homes with more bathrooms sold for higher prices; specifically, a one bathroom increase is, for whatever reason, associated with a $52450 increase in predicted selling price. True or False: This study suggests that if you add a bathroom to your house its selling price is expected to increase by $52,450. A. True B. False 7. Upon release, prisoners are randomly assigned to treatment (X = 1) or control (X = 0). "Treatment" releasees will receive $500, medical prescriptions for one year, and will be assigned a case worker. "Control" releasees are simply released as usual. Whether the releasee subsequently lands back in prison within the next two years will be recorded. True or False: This is a Randomized Designed Experiment (RDE) A. True B. False 8. A random sample of 500 college graduates is taken and a random sample of 500 non college graduates is taken. Each person in the two samples is given an aptitude test. The goal of this study is to determine whether college helps people score higher on the aptitude test. True or False: Because this is an Observational Study (OS), the test results (the data) are not useful for addressing this goal. A. True B. False 9. Sales were climbing for seven years straight and were at record levels. Company leaders decided to seize the moment and update the package design. Sales then fell for the next three years. True or False: The data tells us that the package re-design caused the sales to fall. A. True B. False 10.

A few of the summary statistics are: x = mean(X: s) = 5, Sx = sd(X: S) = 3, y = mean(Y:s) = 8, sy = sd(Y:s) = 10, and r = corr(X, Y:S) = -0.8. The return rate on a portfolio made up of a x 100% of Stock A and (1 - a) x 100% of Stock B is R = ax + (1 -a)Y . Suppose the portfolio is made up of 75% Stock A and 25% Stock B.

Each week they recorded the total number of sales people scheduled to work (X) and total sales, in $1000s (Y). The data can be found in salesforce_sales_exercise.xisx on ICON (see the Data Module).

Varna assumes that for the observed data (X, Y): s the same algorithm was used to decide on the size of the sales force (X values). Under this assumption, Varna then knows by the regression analysis above that a reasonable prediction for sales next week is Y(9), the value of the LSQ line evaluated at 9. And a easonable approximate 95% prediction interval is as calculated in part (f). Varna's boss, Kris, after seeing the regression analysis results, decides to increase the number of sales people from 9 to 19. This way, Kris reasons, they can expect 10b ($1000) more in sales, where b is the slope you found in part (c). Kris continues..Moreover, by increasing the sales force to 19, the predicted sales becomes Y(19), which, compared to Y(9), represents a nice increase in sales, especially given the $12-per-hour wages Kris pays a sales person! Varna is unsure about her boss' reasoning, but cannot articulate why. For this part (g), articulate why Varna's boss' (i.e., Kris's) reasoning is incorrect. 9 Type here to search O X 12:10 PM 9/30/2022Mail - OF X O C1 X SkillsChe X M Pulse Sur X Course R X Ap Shopping X Assignm X WI Courses x Que pie X C Chegg S( X * [Solved] x X - C D @ File | C:/Users/reeto/Downloads/SkillsCheck1_STAT1030.pdf Q E X R AIR Update M GMAIL TRANSLATE ICON UI MY UI ) OFFICE 365 @ YOUTUBE N NETFLIX COURSE HERO !
