Answer:

The correct answer is letter "A": Semi-indirect.

Explanation:

In business writing, there are three main approaches to how to provide messages to an audience: direct strategy, indirect strategy, and semi-indirect strategy. The direct strategy places the purpose or conclusion of the message at first followed by the details of that idea. Using the indirect strategy, instead, implies starting the message with the details to finish with the central idea. The semi-indirect strategy is used when the main idea of the message is given in the middle of the speech and is surrounded by details at the beginning and the end.

In the excerpt, the main idea is:

"The new procedure for ordering supplies will be effective March 1";

which appears in the middle of the paragraph. Therefore, the speaker used the semi-indirect messaging strategy.

quester [9]

Answer: A. Raul could gain access to cheaper raw materials in a foreign country, thus lowering the cost of his input factors.

Explanation:

Being able to produce goods at a lower cost is a good thing for a business because it means that the business can be able to sell at a lower price and therefore get more customers and increase overall profitability.

If Raul could access materials from a foreign company at a cheaper rate, this would be advantageous because his company can produce at a lower price and increase profitability.

Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

Consider the following calculations

Explanation:

People end up tossing 12% of what they buy at the grocery store (Reader's Digest, March, 2009). Assume this is the true population proportion and that you plan to take a sample survey of 540 grocery shoppers to further investigate their behavior.

a- Show the sampling distribution of ( p¯ ), the proportion of groceries thrown out by your sample respondents

sampling distribution of ( p¯ ) is normal with

mean = 0.12 and

standard error = sqrt(p(1-p)/n) = sqrt(0.12*0.88/540) =0.0140

b- what is the probability that the sample proportion will be within ±.03 of the population proportion?

z value for 0.03 difference, z=0.03/0.014 =2.14

The required P= P( -2.14<z<2.14) = P( z <2.14) – P( z <-2.14)

=0.9838 - 0.0162

=0.9676

c- what is the probability that your survey will provide a sample proportion within ±.015 of the population proportion?

z value for 0.015 difference, z=0.015/0.014 =1.07

The required P= P( -1.07<z<1.07) = P( z <1.07) – P( z <-1.07)

=0.8577 - 0.1423

=0.7154

d- What would be the effect of taking a larger sample on the probabilities in parts (b) and (c)? Why?

Taking a larger sample will decrease the standard error. The probabilities in parts (b) and (c) will increase.
