1. Finger Dexterity, the ability to make precisely coordinated finger movements to grasp or assemble very small objects, is important in jewelry making. Subsequently, the manufacturing manager at Gemco, a manufacturer of high-quality watches, wants to develop a regression model to predict the productivity (in watches per shift) of new employees based on dexterity. He has subjected a sample of 20 current employees to the O’Connor dexterity test in which the time required to place 3 pins in each of 100 small holes using tweezers is measured. The data is shown in the following table. Use simple linear regression analysis in JMP to see if there is a relationship between Time and Watches per shift.

a) Construct a scatterplot of the data with the regression equation drawn through the data.
b) Using JMP, compute the estimated regression equation. Write out the equation.
c) Interpret the sample intercept, sample slope, and coefficient of determination.
d) At the 0.05 level of significance, is there a significant linear relationship between the number of watches produced per shift and time to complete the O’Conner test? Write your answer in a sentence and report the p-value.
e) Explain why the y-intercept makes no practical sense in this particular problem.
f) Predict how many watches per shift would yield from an employee who (1) completes the O’Connor test in 750 seconds and (2) completes the O’Connor test in 1100 seconds.

1.1 Reasons for Choosing the point and association
Enthusiastically for Finance and a craving for abundance creation through putting resources into productive endeavors, I have consistently attempted to evaluate and examine the exhibition stocks (organization’s) on the stock trade to see which may be productive. I therefor picked this subject since it would assist me with fostering the capacity to all the more likely examine organizations exhibitions, and furthermore to additional my vocation in finance. Throughout the span of my ACCA studies, I have been expected to assess the monetary exhibition (performing proportion examination) of associations, get ready and decipher budget reports (F5, F7, and F9), and to perform business examination. I therefor look to apply this information in a genuine circumstance subsequently this point appears to be great.
Humanity has for a very long time, relied upon the tremendous abundance of assets underneath the planet’s surface; from farming which was the significant action of early man to mining (the extraction of important minerals from the earth).
Mining has been a significant supporter the worldwide economy. A review distributed in 2013 observed that the worldwide gold industry’s commitment to the world’s economy was in excess of 150 nations around the world, as this area alone created more than $171 billions (Cecilia Jamasmie, 2015). As indicated by Mark Cutifani, CEO of AngloGold Ashanti (2012), “mining straightforwardly or by implication drives over 45% of the world’s total national output” (GDP) (Martin Creamer, 2012). This developing significance of the mining business to the worldwide economy was a critical driver to my choice of this area.
I additionally end up working in the ranger service area that likewise manages the extraction of normal assets, this nearness to nature additionally added to my decision of industry
I picked Fresnillo Plc on the grounds that it is perhaps of the biggest silver maker on the planet. The London-recorded organization works a few silver and mother lodes in Mexico. In spite of a drop in Mexican silver creation in 2014, the nation actually stayed the most elevated silver maker around the world, with Fresnillo at its front. The organization is versatile and has a designated creation result of in excess of 65 million ounces of silver by 2018 (Investing News Network, 2015).
1.2 Research points and goals
Dissect and assess the monetary exhibition of Fresnillo Plc for the 3 years finished 31st December 2017
Distinguish the elements that have affected the business and monetary execution of Fresnillo over these years These goals would be accomplished by giving solutions to the accompanying inquiries:
What has been the monetary presentation of Fresnillo Plc over the 3 years finishing 31st December 2017, in contrast with Tahoe Resources Inc.?
How has the qualities, shortcomings, potential open doors, and dangers to Fresnillo, impacted their exhibition (both monetary and nonfinancial) over the long term period?
How has Political, Economic, Social, and Technological elements impacted the presentation (monetary and nonfinancial) of Fresnillo?
1.3 Framework for RAP
The report examinations the monetary exhibition of Fresnillo Plc for the 3 years finishing 31st December 2017. This is worked with by the utilization of proportions, for example, productivity, liquidity, equipping, and financial backer proportions.
To more readily assess the presentation of Fresnillo, their exhibition is benchmarked against that of Tahoe Resources Inc.
The report then, at that point, goes further to dissect the effect of the business climate on the presentation of Fresnillo, by utilizing the SWOT system to analyzing its assets, shortcomings, open doors, and dangers. It additionally utilizes the PEST model to evaluate the effect of political, financial, social, and mechanical variables on Fresnillo Plc.
