Suppose that a company’s annual sales were $1,200,000 in 1999. The annual growth rate of sales from 1999 to 2000 was 16 percent, from 2000 to 2001 it was −5 percent, and from 2001 to 2002 it was 22 percent.
The geometric mean growth rate of sales over this three-year period is calculated as 10.37 percent. Use the geometric mean growth rate and determine the forecasted sales for 2004.

The Rivertown city council is attempting to choose one of four sites (A, B, C, or D) as the location for its new emergency facility. After the new emergency facility becomes available for service, the current emergency facility will be shut down. The project manager has estimated the following response times in minutes from each of the proposed sites to the four areas that must be served by the emergency facility.
Picture
The number of emergency runs from the current emergency facility to each of the four areas over the past year is as follows:

You manage the inventory for a car dealership. Your management would like you to review current inventory on the dealership lot.
Review the Week 2 Data Set.
Create and calculate the following in Excel®:
- Create a Pie Chart which summarizes colors of the cars in the sample.
- Create a Bar Chart which summarizes the frequency of the models of the cars in the sample.
- Create a Frequency Table for classes of MPG, including Frequency and Relative Frequency for the cars in the sample
- Calculate the mean Days in Inventory for the cars in the sample and compare that to the median and the mode. Highlight the value that would be a better representation of the “typical” days in inventory.
- Calculate the standard deviation of the Days in Inventory for the cars in the sample.
- Calculate the 5 number summary for the suggested retail prices of the cars in the sample. This consists of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th quartile and the IQR.
