The ABC Company is involved in the production and selling of consumer goods, particularly beauty products such as bath soap and shampoo and had registered a positive profit growth for the last 10 years.
However, the current year seems to be different from those years as the company is expecting a decline in profit; which is estimated to be about 70% below the target. The manager now is in a dilemma … asking himself/herself “What happened, why this decline in profit?” The Manager then asked the company Accountant to give him/her the data on sales and advertising cost for the last 10 years – he/she wants these data to determine whether the company can live without advertising, as advertising cost happens to be substantial.
Justify your answer by doing as step-by-step procedure in Correlation Analysis using a 0.05 level of significance.
The data are as follows –
A FiveThirtyEight.com article reports that “Horror movies get nowhere near as much draw at the box office as the big-time summer blockbusters or action/adventure movies ... but there’s a huge incentive for studios to continue pushing them out. The return-on-investment potential for horror movies is absurd.” To investigate how the return-on-investment compares between genres and how this relationship has changed over time, an introductory statistics student fit a model predicting the ratio of gross revenue of movies from genre and release year for 1,070 movies released between 2000 and 2018. Using
the plots given below, determine if this regression model is appropriate for these data

- Use this data for the exercises that follow: In 2013, there were roughly 317 million citizens in the United States, and about 40 million were elderly (aged 65 and over).[34] 60. It is predicted that by 2030, one in five U.S. citizens will be elderly. How much greater will the chances of meeting an elderly person be at that time? What policy changes do you foresee if these statistics hold true?arrow_forwardHi! I was working on the question below: The Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) is a financial model that assumes returns on a portfolio are normally distributed. Suppose a portfolio has an average annual return of 14.7% (i.e. an average gain of 14.7%) with a standard deviation of 33%. A return of 0% means the value of the portfolio doesn’t change, a negative return means that the portfolio loses money, and a positive return means that the portfolio gains money. And question (a) looks like: What percent of years does this portfolio lose money, i.e. have a return less than 0%? I got a z-score of -0.4455, which corresponds to the p value of 0.3264 on the z-table; I don't understand why the correct answer should be 0.3280 as said by one of the solutions, and I cannot locate such a number on the z-table. Thank you so much!arrow_forward( Previous Ne CAPM The Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) is a financial model that assumes returns on a portfolio are normally distributed.

- Cryptocurrencies have rapidly become an important alternative to traditional currencies for many types of transactions. Etherium, one of the most prominent cryptocurrencies, has rapidly appreciated in value. Daily Etherium trading information for the first 332 days of 2021. It includes the following variables: Date Day – Day of the year, used to assess trend over time Volume (US $) – Daily trading volume Opening Price (US $) – Opening price for daily trading Price Change (US $) – Daily change in price from opening to close 1. Determine the sample correlation coefficient, r, between Volume and Price Change. Test the alternative hypothesis that Volume has a linear relationship to Price Change. Specifically, what are the test statistic and the p-value for that test statistic? For α = .05, what do you conclude about the relationship between the variables?
