1. (TCO A) Seventeen salespeople reported the following number of sales calls
completed last month.
72 93 82 81 82 97 102 107 119
86 88 91 83 93 73 100 102
a. Compute the mean, median, mode, and standard deviation, Q1, Q3, Min, and Max for
the above sample data on number of sales calls per month.
b. In the context of this situation, interpret the Median, Q1, and Q3. (Points : 33)
a.

2. b. Median of the above sales calls means that if all the sales calls data points are
arranged in an ascending order, then 91 Nos. of calls made would fall in the middle. So,
there are as 8 sales calls
2. (TCO B) Cedar Home Furnishings has collected data on their customers in terms of
whether they reside in an urban location or a suburban location, as well as rating the
customers as either “good,” “borderline,” or “poor.” The data is below.
Urban Suburban Total
Good 60 168 228
Borderline 36 72 108
Poor 24 40 64
Total 120 280 400

3. If you choose a customer at random, then find the probability that the customer
a. is considered “borderline.”
b. is considered “good” and resides in an urban location.
c. is suburban, given that customer is considered “poor.” (Points : 18)
3. (TCO B) Historically, 70% of your customers at Rodale Emporium pay for their
purchases using credit cards. In a sample of 20 customers, find the probability that
a. exactly 14 customers will pay for their purchases using credit cards.

4. b. at least 10 customers will pay for their purchases using credit cards.
4. (TCO B) The demand for gasoline at a local service station is normally distributed with
a mean of 27,009 gallons per day and a standard deviation of 4,530 gallons per day.
a. Find the probability that the demand for gasoline exceeds 22,000 gallons for a given
day.
c. How many gallons of gasoline should be on hand at the beginning of each day so that
we can meet the demand 90% of the time (i.e., the station stands a 10% chance of running
out of gasoline for that day)? (Points : 18)

5. 5. (TCO C) An operations analyst from an airline company has been asked to develop a
fairly accurate estimate of the mean refueling and baggage handling time at a foreign
airport. A random sample of 36 refueling and baggage handling times yields the
following results.
Sample Size = 36
Sample Mean = 24.2 minutes
Sample Standard Deviation = 4.2 minutes
a. Compute the 90% confidence interval for the population mean refueling and baggage
time.

6. b. Interpret this interval.
c. How many refueling and baggage handling times should be sampled so that we may
construct a 90% confidence interval with a sampling error of .5 minutes for the
population mean refueling and baggage time? (Points : 18)
6. (TCO C) The manufacturer of a certain brand of toothpaste claims that a high
percentage of dentists recommend the use of their toothpaste. A random sample of 400
dentists results in 310 recommending their toothpaste.
a. Compute the 99% confidence interval for the population proportion of dentists who
recommend the use of this toothpaste.
b. Interpret this confidence interval.

7. c. How large a sample size will need to be selected if we wish to have a 99% confidence
interval that is accurate to within 3%? (Points : 18)
7. (TCO D) A Ford Motor Company quality improvement team believes that its recently
implemented defect reduction program has reduced the proportion of paint defects. Prior
to the implementation of the program, the proportion of paint defects was .03 and had
been stationary for the past 6 months. Ford selects a random sample of 2,000 cars built
after the implementation of the defect reduction program. There were 45 cars with paint
defects in that sample. Does the sample data provide evidence to conclude that the
proportion of paint defects is now less than .03 (with a = .01)? Use the hypothesis testing
procedure outlined below.
a. Formulate the null and alternative hypotheses.
b. State the level of significance.

8. c. Find the critical value (or values), and clearly show the rejection and nonrejection
regions.
d. Compute the test statistic.
e. Decide whether you can reject Ho and accept Ha or not.
f. Explain and interpret your conclusion in part e. What does this mean?
g. Determine the observed p-value for the hypothesis test and interpret this value. What
does this mean?

9. h. Does the sample data provide evidence to conclude that the proportion of paint defects
is now less than .03 (with a = .01)? (Points : 24)
8. (TCO D) A new car dealer calculates that the dealership must average more than 4.5%
profit on sales of new cars. A random sample of 81 cars gives the following result.
Sample Size = 81
Sample Mean = 4.97%
Sample Standard Deviation = 1.8%

10. Does the sample data provide evidence to conclude that the dealership averages more
than 4.5% profit on sales of new cars (using a = .10)? Use the hypothesis testing
procedure outlined below.
a. Formulate the null and alternative hypotheses.
b. State the level of significance.
c. Find the critical value (or values), and clearly show the rejection and nonrejection
regions.
d. Compute the test statistic.
e. Decide whether you can reject Ho and accept Ha or not.

11. f. Explain and interpret your conclusion in part e. What does this mean?
g. Determine the observed p-value for the hypothesis test and interpret this value. What
does this mean?
h. Does the sample data provide evidence to conclude that the dealership averages more
than 4.5% profit on sales of new cars (using a = .10)? (Points : 24)
1. (TCO E) Bill McFarland is a real estate broker who specializes in selling farmland in a
large western state. Because Bill advises many of his clients about pricing their land, he
is interested in developing a pricing formula of some type. He feels he could increase his
business significantly if he could accurately determine the value of a farmer’s land. A
geologist tells Bill that the soil and rock characteristics in most of the area that Bill sells
do not vary much. Thus the price of land should depend greatly on acreage. Bill selects a

12. sample of 30 plots recently sold. The data is found below (in Minitab), where X=Acreage
and Y=Price ($1,000s).
a. Analyze the above output to determine the regression equation.
b. Find and interpret in the context of this problem.
c. Find and interpret the coefficient of determination (r-squared).
d. Find and interpret coefficient of correlation.
predict the price? Test the utility of this model using a two-tailed test. Find the observed
p-value and interpret.

13. f. Find the 95% confidence interval for mean price of plots of farmland that are 50 acres.
Interpret this interval.
g. Find the 95% prediction interval for the price of a single plot of farmland that is 50
acres. Interpret this interval.
h. What can we say about the price for a plot of farmland that is 250 acres? (Points : 48)

1. (TCO E) An insurance firm wishes to study the relationship between driving
experience (X1, in years), number of driving violations in the past three years (X2), and
current monthly auto insurance premium (Y). A sample of 12 insured drivers is selected
at random. The data is given below (in MINITAB):
a. Analyze the above output to determine the multiple regression equation.
b. Find and interpret the multiple index of determination (R-Sq).

15. c. Perform the t-
results.
d. Predict the monthly premium for an individual having 8 years of driving experience
and 1 driving violation during the past 3 years. Use both a point estimate and the
appropriate interval estimate.
