We have the results from our first Facebook ad campaign. The following table summarizes the results broken down by age and whether the person seeing the add clicked through. Age 40 or under 85 Age more than 40 65 Total Clicked Through 150 Did Not Click 590 260 850 Total 675 325 1000 For our up(combing) (pun intended) campaign, I want to make it as effective as possible, a cut above all other ad campaigns! I'm thinking that since 85 (or 56.7%) of the 150 people who clicked through to our website are age 40 or less, we should focus our ads to only younger people. I'm not great with number though, and since I know you had a stats class in college, I wanted to get your opinion. Should we focus our adds only to those age 40 and under or should we do something else?

A bakery sells pretzels. The fixed costs come to $8,750.00 per month. It will cost 35 cents to make each pretzel, and the bakery will charge $1.50 per pretzel. The bakery must sell 7,609 pretzels in a month to break even. The bakery's owners think they may not be able to sell that many pretzels. If they raise the price to $1.75, what will be the break-even point? Hint: use the Break-even point formula.

Mr. Nyugen Ho is a Vietnamese entrepreneur who started a clothing factory in Vietnam. After two years of good business within the country's local markets, there was a huge demand for his clothes in the international markets like Canada, Australia, Japan, United States and France.

He always felt that if he set his business outside his country, he would feel unwelcomed and that his business would be attacked and exploited. Moreover, he felt that he would feel alienated (feeling different/lonely) in new surroundings. What problem is Mr. Nyugen experiencing? A.Stereotyping b.Ethnocentrism c.Individualism O d.Xenophobia
