entral Airlines claims that the median price of a round-trip ticket from Chicago to Jackson Hole, Wyoming, is $503. This claim is being challenged by the Association of Travel Agents, who believe the median price is less than $503. A random sample of 406 round-trip tickets from Chicago to Jackson Hole revealed 186 tickets were below $503. None of the tickets was exactly $503. Let α = 0.05.
a. State the null and alternate hypotheses.

Suppose that at a price of $500 the weekly round-trip ticket sales for a flight from New York to San Francisco are 10,000 tickets, and at a price of $1,000 the ticket sales are 9,000 tickets. Calculate the price elasticity of demand over this price range and determine if demand is elastic, inelastic, or unit elastic.
Offwego Airlines has a daily flight from Chicago to Las Vegas. On average, 13 ticket holders cancel their reservations, so the company intentionally overbooks the flight. Cancellations can be described by a normal distribution with a mean of 13 passengers and a standard deviation of 5.30 passengers. Profit per passenger is $93. If a passenger arrives but cannot board due to overbooking, the company policy is to provide a cash payment of $193. Use Table B. How many tickets should...
A travel analyst claims that the mean price of a round trip flight from New York City to Los Angeles is less than $507. In a random sample of 28 round trip flights from New York City to Los Angeles, the mean price is $502 with a standard deviation of $111. At α = 0.10, is there enough evidence to support the travel analyst’s claim? Identify the null and alternative hypotheses and label the claim. State whether to use a...

1.) Recall that Benford's Law claims that numbers chosen from very large data files tend to have "1" as the first nonzero digit disproportionately often. In fact, research has shown that if you randomly draw a number from a very large data file, the probability of getting a number with "1" as the leading digit is about 0.301. Now suppose you are an auditor for a very large corporation. The revenue report involves millions of numbers in a large computer...
