What are the X and Y values that maximize the profit?

Assignment Problems (64 points in total):1. Expando, Inc., is considering the possibility of building an additional factory that would produce a new addition to its product line. The company is currently considering two options. The first is a small facility that it could build at a cost of $5 million. If demand for new products is low, the company expects to receive $9 million in discounted revenues (present value of future revenues) with the small facility. On the other hand, if demand is high, it expects $11 million in discounted revenues using the small facility. The second option is to build a large factory at a cost of $8 million. Were demand to be low, the company would expect $11 million in discounted revenues with the large plant. If demand is high, the company estimates that the discounted revenues would be $15 million.In either case, the probability of demand being high is 0.40, and the probability of it being low is 0.60. Not constructing a new factory would result in no additional revenue being generated because the current factories cannot produce these new products.(a) Construct a decision tree to help Expando make the best decision. Please include the probabilities of different states and the payoffs in the decision tree full credit.You may want to refer to the decision tree on Slide 12 of the lecture on decision tree. (14 points)(b) Calculate the EMVs for each of the three alternatives. For each alternative, please include at least one step of calculation and the correct answer for full credit.

Discuss whether the results of your analysis of the data provide evidence that the time spent by visitors to the Triple T website differs by background color, font, or combination of background color and font. What is your recommendation?

BackgroundTourisTopia Travel (Triple T) is an online travel agency that specializes in trips to exotic locations around the world for groups of ten or more travelers. Triple T’s marketing manager has been working on a major revision of the homepage of Triple T’s website. The content for the homepage has been selected and the only remaining decisions involve the selection of the background color (white, green, or pink) and the type of font (Arial, Calibri, or Tahoma).Triple T’s IT group has designed prototype homepages featuring every combination of these background colors and fonts, and it has implemented computer code that will randomly direct each Triple T website visitor to one of these prototype homepages. For three weeks, the prototype homepage to which each visitor was directed and the amount of time in seconds spent at Triple T’s website during each visit were recorded. Ten visitors to each of the prototype homepages were then selected randomly the complete data set for these visitors is available in the file TourisTopia.Triple T wants to use these data to determine if the time spent by visitors to Triple T’s website differs by background color or font. It would also like to know if the time spent by visitors to the Triple T website differs by different combinations of background color and font.Do:In a managerial report,Use descriptive statistics to summarize the data from Triple T’s study. Based on descriptive statistics, what are your preliminary conclusions about whether the time spent by visitors to the Triple T website differs by background color or font? What are your preliminary conclusions about whether time spent by visitors to the Triple T website differs by different combinations of background color and font?Explain whether Triple T has used an observational study or a controlled experiment.Use the data from Triple T’s study to test the hypothesis that the time spent by visitors to the Triple T website is equal for the three background colors. Include both factors and their interaction in the ANOVA model, and use a=.05. Please clearly specify null and alternative hypothesis in your post.Use the data from Triple T’s study to test the hypothesis that the time spent by visitors to the Triple T website is equal for the three fonts. Include both factors and their interaction in the ANOVA model, and usea=.05. Please clearly specify null and alternative hypothesis in your post.Use the data from Triple T’s study to test the hypothesis that time spent by visitors to the Triple T website is equal for the nine combinations of background color and font. Include both factors and their interaction in the ANOVA model, and use a=.05. Please clearly specify null and alternative hypothesis in your post.Discuss whether the results of your analysis of the data provide evidence that the time spent by visitors to the Triple T website differs by background color, font, or combination of background color and font. What is your recommendation?Discuss:What recommendations does your ANOVA results support? Use findings from your managerial report to support your recommendations. Be sure to include why you support certain decisions over others. What surprising findings did you come up with during your analysis?Guided Response: Review several of your peer’s posts. In a minimum of 100 words each, respond to at least two of your fellow students’ posts in a substantive manner, and provide information that they may have missed or may not have considered regarding the application of ANOVA tables in business and economics. Do you agree with their conclusions? Why or why not?Post by classmate 1Hello ClassUse descriptive statistics to summarize the data from Triple T’s study. Based on descriptive statistics, what are your preliminary conclusions about whether the time spent by visitors to the Triple T website differs by background color or font? What are your preliminary conclusions about whether time spent by visitors to the Triple T website differs by different combinations of background color and font?The descriptive statistics show that the white background and Arial font combination will generate the biggest average time spent by customers on the website. Meanwhile, the pink background with Tahoma font is the least popular by the customers.Explain whether Triple T has used an observational study or a controlled experiment.Triple T used a controlled method for this experiment. They manually used different combinations of fonts and background colors and then measured them.Use the data from Triple T’s study to test the hypothesis that the time spent by visitors to the Triple T website is equal for the three background colors. Include both factors and their interaction in the ANOVA model, and use a=.05. Pleaseclearlyspecify null and alternative hypothesisin your post.The null hypothesis is that there is no significant differences between the backgrounds. The alternative hypothesis will show at least one significant difference between the backgrounds. If the P-value associated with the F is smaller than .05 then the null hypothesis is rejected and the alternative hypothesis is supported. The data provided shows that the F value is 5.749643 and the P-value is 0.004624. Since this value is smaller than .05, the null hypothesis is rejected.Use the data from Triple T’s study to test the hypothesis that the time spent by visitors to the Triple T website is equal for the three fonts. Include both factors and their interaction in the ANOVA model, and usea=.05.The null hypothesis is that there are no significant differences between the fonts. The alternative hypothesis will show at least one significant difference among the fonts. The data shows that the mean time spent on the website by visitors is for the 3 fonts is .00676. Since the P-value associated with the F-value is smaller than .05, the null hypothesis is rejected.Use the data from Triple T’s study to test the hypothesis that time spent by visitors to the Triple T website is equal for the nine combinations of background color and font. Include both factors and their interaction in the ANOVA model, and use a=.05. Pleaseclearlyspecify null and alternative hypothesisin your post.The null hypothesis is that there are no significant differences in time spent. The alternative hypothesis will show at least one significant difference among the combinations. The interaction test between the background color and font is 0.2269. Since the P-value associated with the F-value is smaller than .05, the null hypothesis is rejected.Discuss whether the results of your analysis of the data provide evidence that the time spent by visitors to the Triple T website differs by background color, font, or combination of background color and font. What is your recommendation?For the 9 combinations, that data concludes that visitors to the white background and Aria font spend more time 310.4 on the website. The sample data also suggests that the variance for the white background and Tahoma font 339.1667 is smaller than the other variance combinations. The final recommendation is that the company Triple T should adopt the white background and Arial font prototypePost by classmate 2Attached are the results for the ANOVA: Two-Factor with Replication statistics for the Data File TourisTopia. ANOVA is a statistical method that tests the null hypothesis that given populations have the same mean by comparing the variability between groups to the variability within groups and the F test statistic (or F-value) is what enables us to find the p-value to support or reject the hypothesis (Jbstatistics, n.d.). In summary of this data, I have concluded that customers within the case study spent more time on the website prototypes that utilized a white background and an Arial font. The website prototypes that utilized a pink background with a Tahoma font resulted in the least amount of time spent by customers. The data suggests that both background color and font are significant, but the interaction between background color and font is not.TourisTopia Travel (Triple T) has utilized a controlled experiment to obtain this data. It had designed prototype homepages with variations of background colors and font types and randomly directed customers to each site to generate the data needed (Anderson et al., 2021).A null hypothesis for an ANOVA assumes there are no significant differences between the groups, and the alternative hypothesis assumes at least one significant difference (University of Arizona Global Campus, 2020). Utilizing the data from Triple T’s study to test the hypothesis that the time spent by visitors to the Triple T website is equal for the three background colors, my null hypothesis is that there would be no difference between time spent. My alternative hypothesis is that more time would be spent on one color background as opposed to the others. The F-value of the sample data is 5.7496, with a P-value of 0.0046. Since the P-value associated with the F-value is smaller than .05, the null hypothesis is rejected, and the alternative hypothesis is supported.Utilizing the data from Triple T’s study to test the hypothesis that the time spent by visitors to the Triple T website is equal for the three fonts, my null hypothesis is that there would be no difference between time spent. My alternative hypothesis is that more time would be spent on one font as opposed to the others. The F-value of the sample data is 5.3180, with a P-value of 0.0067. Since the P-value associated with the F-value is smaller than .05, the null hypothesis is rejected, and the alternative hypothesis is supported.Utilizing the data from Triple T’s study to test the hypothesis that time spent by visitors to the Triple T website is equal for the nine combinations of background color and font, my null hypothesis is that there would be no difference in time spent. My alternative hypothesis is that more time would be spent with one or more combinations of color and font. The F-value of the interaction data is 1.444, with a P-value of 0.2269. Since the P-value associated with the F-value is larger than .05, the null hypothesis is supported, and the alternative hypothesis is rejected.Data suggests that visitors to the white background prototype spent more time at the website, as did the visitors to the Arial font prototype website (University of Arizona Global Campus, 2020). Given the results of the data, the background color is significant, and the font is significant, but the interaction between the background color and font is not significant (University of Arizona Global Campus, 2020). My recommendation for Triple T would be to utilize the website with the white background and Ariel font as the data supports customers spending more time on the sites with these options. I discovered in the data analysis that when the F-value was greater than the F-critical value, it also suggested the rejection of the null hypothesis. In contrast, when the F-value was greater than the F-critical value, it suggested a failure to reject the null hypothesis.ReferencesAnderson, D. R., Sweeney, D. J., Williams, T. A., Camm, J.

Describe your understanding of database marketing and how it could potentially be applied to your marketing plan for the Final Project.

This week you will obtain information on database marketing to support the Marketing Mix section of your Final Project. Database marketing centers on gathering customer-based information such as gender, age, occupation, and lifestyles. As an example, to better understand the wants and needs of patients and their families, the Happy Valley marketing director monitors activities on the long-term care center’s web page. Data is collected regarding specific links viewed such as activities, skilled care services offered, and physical therapy. If a certain link is viewed more than other links, this could indicate to the marketing director that potential patients and their family members prefer specific amenities or services. Those amenities or services would then be marketed as a priority for the organization. Considering your marketing plan for Trinity Health, construct a three- to four-page paper in which you: -Describe your understanding of database marketing and how it could potentially be applied to your marketing plan for the Final Project.-Discuss the benefits and drawbacks of using database marketing.-State the ethical, legal, and HIPAA issues that need to be considered.-Articulate reasons why you would implement or exclude the use of database marketing in your marketing plan for the Final Project.-Must use at least three scholarly sources in APA style

identify and analyze credible evidence that could be used as the basis for applying EBP to the issue.

Develop a 2-4 page scholarly paper in which you describe a quality or safety issue, or a chosen diagnosis, and then identify and analyze credible evidence that could be used as the basis for applying EBP to the issue.IntroductionThe goal of using evidence-based research findings is to enhance safety and quality of patient care and ensure optimal outcomes are achieved. It is not uncommon to hear a nurse say, “why change it as we’ve always done it this way.” However, this is no longer acceptable in today’s practice environment. The profession of nursing has evolved, and the expectation is that the professional nurse has a scientific foundation to support the care that is provided. As the profession of nursing continues to evolve and engage in health care transformation, baccalaureate-prepared nurses are expanding taking on leadership roles that include incorporating EBPs. To be able to do this, the nurse needs to understand the criteria and makes a resource credible, as this is crucial when deciding if the research is valid and reliable for implementation into health care settings. The nurse will need to incorporate the use of evidence-based practice models. EBP models are designed to assist the nurse in developing a plan to gather evidence to answer a practice problem or question. It is a systematic approach to direct the user to incorporate scholarly findings into current practice. These EBP models lead the nurse through the decision-making process of evaluating the literature to determine the best practice evidence for the practice issue or question.It would be an excellent choice to complete the Vila Health Determining the Credibility of Evidence activity prior to developing the report. The activity is a media simulation that offers an opportunity to review a scenario and work on determining the credibility of presented evidence. These skills will be necessary to complete Assessment 2 successfully. This media simulation is one potential source of context on which to base your assessment submission. This will take just a few minutes of your time and is not graded.Professional ContextAs a baccalaureate-prepared nurse, you will be responsible for locating and identifying credible and scholarly resources to incorporate the best available evidence for the purposes of enhancing clinical reasoning and judgement skills. When reliable and relevant evidence-based findings are utilized, patients, health care systems, and nursing practice outcomes are positively impacted.ScenarioFor this assessment, you may choose from the following options as the context for the quality or safety issue or chosen diagnosis/health issue for researching and completing this assessment:The specific diagnosis/health issue you identified in your previous assessment.The simulation Vila Health: Determining the Credibility of Evidence.A personal practice experience in which a sentinel event occurred.InstructionsThe purpose of this analysis is to better understand what constitutes credibility of journal articles as well as websites. The role of the baccalaureate-prepared nurse in incorporating evidence-based research continues to growth in clinical practice. As quality improvement (QI) measures to reduce safety risks continue to be emphasized, the need for evidence-based models and evidence-based templates is growing. This type of systematic approach to incorporating evidence-based findings allows nurses to make clinical and operational decisions based upon the best available evidence. When the most up-to-date evidence-based findings are utilized, patient-centered care improves outcomes and enhances the patient experience.Below is a quick review table of several well-known Evidence-Based Practice Models used to guide exploration:Evidence-Based Practice ModelsIowa Model of Evidence-Based PracticeStetler ModelOttawa ModelPARiHS (Promoting Action on Research Implementation in Health Services) ModelACE (Academic Center for Evidence-Based Practice) Star ModelARCC (Advancing Research and Clinical Practice Through Close Collaboration) ModeJohn Hopkins ModelKTA (Knowledge-to-Action) ModelFor this assessment:Explain the criteria that should be used when determining the credibility of journal articles as well as websites.Support your explanations with references to the literature or research articles that describe criteria that should be used to determine credibility.Your identification and determination of credibility should be done within the context of your chosen scenario for this assessment. For example, if you choose to use the provided Vila Health scenario, your initial identification of resources should be of resources that will best help address the presented issue. However, if you are locating resources to help provide evidence-based care for the diagnosis/health care issue you identified in the first assessment, you may want to begin your literature and evidence search from the databases that were identified.
