Preface

The first part of the Instructor’s Solutions Manual contains our educational philosophy and teaching tips for each chapter of the text. Solutions to End-of-Section Problems and Chapter Review Problems in each chapter follow. Instructional tips and solutions for the digital cases follow. Answers to the Brynne Packaging Case, the CardioGood Fitness Case, the Choice Is Yours/More Descriptive Choices Follow-up Case, the Clear Mountain State Student Surveys Case, the Craybill Instrumentation Company Case, the Managing Ashland MultiComm Services Case, the Mountain States Potato Company Case and the Sure Value Convenience Stores Case are included last.

The purpose of this Instructor’s Solutions Manual is to facilitate grading of assignments or exams by instructors and/or teaching assistants. Screen shots using output from PHStat are integrated throughout. Most of the problems are solved using PHStat. To present the steps involved in solving a problem, some intermediate numerical results are presented accurate to only a reasonable number of significant digits. Hence, instructors are reminded that the final results presented in this manual that are obtained using PHStat can sometimes be different from those obtained with a hand calculator computed using the intermediate values due to rounding.
