Consider a normal distribution with a mean of 14 and variance of 26. What is the Z score for the value of 16?
(For Questions 1, 2, 3 and 4) There are 25 students enrolled in Stat 200 course. Their scores on Test one is written in following table 1.105269746483747877785888647371987578908372918185641. (4 points) construct a frequency distribution on scores.2. (4 points) Construct a relative frequency distribution test one scores repeated below:scoresFrequency50-59260-69470-791080-89590-9933. (4 points) construct a histogram of the scores for the given frequency.4. (4 points) Construct stem and leaf display for the scores in Table 1.5. (4 points) A soda company wants to stimulate sales in this economic climate by giving customers a chance to win a small prize for every bottle of soda they buy. There is a 20% chance that a customer will find a picture of a dancing banana () at the bottom of the cap upon opening up a bottle of soda. The customer can then redeem that bottle cap with this picture for a small prize. Now, if I buy a 6-pack of soda, what is the probability that I will win something, i.e., at least win a single small prize?6. (5 points) My brother wants to estimate the proportion of Canadians who own their house. What sample size should be obtained if he wants the estimate to be within 0.02 with 90% confidence ifa. he uses an estimate of 0.675 from the Canadian Census Bureau?b. he does not use any prior estimates? But in solving this problem, you are actually using a form of prior estimate in the formula used. In this case, what is your actual prior estimate? Please explain.7. (2 points) At mens clothing store, 12 males bought green sweaters, 8 purchased blue golf sweaters, 4 bought white sweaters and 7 decided to by gray sweaters. If a customer is selected at random, calculate the probability that he bought:(2 points)(a) Green sweater (b) blue sweater or white (c) blue or gray or white (d) A sweater which was not gray.8. (2 points) (a) Given definition of Normal ( Gaussian distribution) by citing an example. Draw graph of the distribution.(3 points) (b) Consider a normal distribution with a mean of 14 and variance of 26. What is the Z score for the value of 16?Hint: Read from the text-book regarding Normal distribution and go over the power point lecture examples. Then work out this exercise.Important: Please read carefully . You are allowed to use technology for the following Problems (Problem #9 and Problem #10). Most probably, you have to use technology or you may have to spend hours, to carry out the necessary calculations by hand. Nonetheless, you should clearly delineate and explain your logic and reasoning on how to tackle problems #9, and #10.9. (8 points) The Undesirable Air Lines (UAL???) is notorious for its cost-cutting substandard customer service. Consequently, only 85% of the ticket holders will show up for a flight. The Air Lines workhorse, the Boring 878, has 234 seats. UAL, of course, will make extra money by overbooking. However, they have to worry about the FAA fines, and they have to keep a safety margin, say, that there is at least 95% probability that they can accommodate all those who show up for the Boring 878 flight. How many seats can they actually sell in this case?10. (8 points) It is an open secret that airlines overbook flights, but I have just learned recently that bookstores underbook (I might have invented this new term.) textbooks .To make a long story short, our school designated virtual bookstore, MBS Direct, routinely, as a matter of business practice, orders less textbooks than the amount requested by our schools Registrars Office. That is what I have figured out . Simply put, MBS Direct has to eat the books if they are not sold. Do you want to eat the books? You may want to cook the books before you eat them! Oops, I hope there is no account major in this class?OK, let us cut to the chase .. MBS Direct believes that only 85% of our registered students will stay registered in a class long enough to purchase the required textbook. Lets pick on our STAT 200 students. According to the Registrars Office, we have 600 students enrolled in STAT 200 this fall 2019.Suppose you are the CEO of MBS Direct, and you want to perform a probability analysis. What would be the number of STAT 200 textbook bundles you would order so that you stay below 5% probability of having to back-order from Pearson Custom Publishing? (Note: Our Provost would be very angry when she hears that textbook bundles have to be back-ordered. In any case, by next fall, we will no longer need the service of MBS Direct as we are moving 100% to free eResources. Auf Wiedersehen, MBS Direct )

The paper must include a title page and follow APA formatting guidelines.Scenario 1: You Have a PlanList the goals and objectives you had coming into the course/degree program. Did you have a priority for those goals? Were you able to create a plan for completing those goals? Discuss if you have been able to follow that plan and how it has helped with meeting your prioritized objectives.You might consider some or all of the following:Content: Where are you weak/strong? Do you place different emphasis on some content areas over others?Risks of non-completion: What are the costs of non-completion (monetary and other)? What factors might prevent or hinder your expected performance in the course? Can you plan to avoid or mitigate these risks?Schedule: Do you set aside periods of time to complete coursework? How detailed is your schedule?Material: Is it adequate for your needs? What other sources of content would you identify to help?Explicit versus implicit planning: Everyone plans, even if they do not necessarily realize it. What differences do you experience when you make the plan explicit (like in this exercise)?How do you prioritize goals and time? Are you trying to get an A or just pass? Is the grade or the knowledge more valuable to you? Alternatively, are they equally important?What other strategies might you explore? Being more collaborative (as in a study group)? The possibility of finding a tutor or mentor?What do you do if you are struggling or falling behind? Would it pay to think of these possibilities in advance and have a plan in mind in case it happens?If time gets tight, what areas could you lighten up on?Achieving excellence: Are there particular areas where you would like to develop your skills or knowledge to a higher level than you have previously or currently attained?Scenario 2: You Do Not Have a Plan:If none of the above seem to apply to your experience with the course/degree so far, examine the final 5 weeks of this course and complete a plan using the above exercise as a guide.Based on the knowledge you have achieved thus far in this class, compose a minimum 3-page, double-spaced paper describing how you are able to achieve your goals for this course through planning and prioritization.

Does recognition of residual value risk make leasing more or less attractive to the Center than before? Why?
CASE 17 QUESTIONSSEATTLE CANCER CENTERLeasing Decisions1. As a baseline, assume all cash flows have the same risk; that is, ignore residual value risk and use the same discount rate for all lessee and lessor cash flows.a. Should the Center lease the equipment? Should GBF write the lease?b. Who is getting the better deal? Explain.c. What is the maximum lease payment that the Center would be willing to pay? What is the minimum lease payment that GBF would be willing to accept?d. What factor influence whether the actual lease payment will be closer to the Centers maximum lease payment or GBFs minimum lease payment?2. This lease is attractive to both parties because there is asymmetry of inputs between the lessee and lessor.a. What are these asymmetries?b. What would be the result if there were no asymmetries? Prove it.3. The Center is considering the inclusion of a cancellation clause in the lease contract, in which it could cancel the lease at any time after giving a minimum 30 day notice.a. What impact would a cancellation clause have on the risk of the lease to the Center and the risk of the lease to GBF? Why? No additional calculations are required.b. What might GBF do to compensate for the change in risk? No additional calculations are required.4. GBF has indicated that it would be willing to write a lease at a rate of $7,000 per procedure. Compare the risk of the per procedure lease to the conventional lease from the perspectives of both the lessee and lessor. (Hint: Graph the annual profit of a per-procedure lease and the annual profit of an annual lease against the number of procedures and interpret the graph.)5. What would be the NAL to the Center if tax-exempt (municipal) debt financing was available to the Center? Would the availability of tax-exempt debt financing make leasing more or less attractive to the Center than before? Why? (Assume all cash flows have the same risk; that is, use the same discount rate on all lessee cash flows.)6. What is the NAL to the Center after adjusting for the riskiness inherent in the residual value? Does recognition of residual value risk make leasing more or less attractive to the Center than before? Why?7. Return to baseline assumptions. GBF will probably obtain a $1,500,000 simple interest loan from its bank at a cost of either 7 or 9 percent that it would use to leverage the lease. Should the lessor take the loan if the interest rate is 7 percent? Should the lessor take the loan if the interest rate is 9 percent? Justify your answer.8. If the Center decides to lease, will the lease be classified as a capital lease and shown directly on the balance sheet? Show your calculations.9. a. From the perspective of the Center, what types of financial risk are present in this decision? b. Finally, considering all relevant factors, including the possibility of obtaining a cancellation clause or a per procedure lease, what should the Center do, lease or buy?
