Answer:
a) 0.0228
b) 94.6
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for calculating a z-score when you are given a random.number of samples is z = (x-μ)/σ/√n
where x is the raw score
μ is the population mean
σ is the population standard deviation
n = random number of samples
Given a normal distribution with u = 75 and o = 40, if you select a sample of n = 16,
a) what is the probability that the sample mean is above 95? (4 d.p.) b)
= x = 95
Hence:
z = 95 - 75/40/√16
= 20/40/4
= 20/10
= 2
Probability value from Z-Table:
P(x<95) = 0.97725
P(x>95) = 1 - P(x<95) = 0.02275
The probability that the sample mean is above 95 to 4 decimal places = 0.0228
b) What is the value, of which there is 97.5% chance that a sample mean is less than that value?
97.5% chance = z score for the confidence interval = 1.96
Hence:
z = (x-μ)/σ/√n
1.96 = x - 75/40/√16
1.96 = x - 75/ 40/4
1.96 = x - 75/10
Cross Multiply
1.96 × 10 = x - 75
19.6 = x - 75
x = 19.6 + 75
x = 94.6
The value, of which there is 97.5% chance that a sample mean is less than that value is 94.6

Answer:
The probability that the service desk will have at least 100 customers with returns or exchanges on a randomly selected day is P=0.78.
Step-by-step explanation:
With the weekly average we can estimate the daily average for customers, assuming 7 days a week:
We can model this situation with a Poisson distribution, with parameter λ=108. But because the number of events is large, we use the normal aproximation:
Then we can calculate the z value for x=100:
Now we calculate the probability of x>100 as:
The probability that the service desk will have at least 100 customers with returns or exchanges on a randomly selected day is P=0.78.
Answer:
Hybrid basis
Step-by-step explanation:
There are different methods of accounting used by businesses depending on their peculiar needs. Below are the type of accounting methods:
- Cash basis is when revenues and expenses are recognised when cash is recieved or paid out.
-Accrual basis is when revenue and expenses are recognised when they are earned. For example if services are rendered to a client that will pay in a week's time, since service has already been given it is considered that the future payment has been earned.
- Modified basis combines elements of cash and accrual basis. For example considering short term assets like accounts receivable and accounts payable as cash items. Long term assets are recorded on accrual basis.
- Hybrid basis is used when cash and accrual methods are used for various expenses and tax. Mostly it is used for internal accounting purposes.
In this scenario Hariette would like to review the income and expenses that were actually paid last month. This requires a cash basis that shows actual amount recieved and paid last month. Account receivable and payable are not considered.
In setting aside money for tax she will employ accrual basis accounting. It is an expense that is estimated for future use.
So the hybrid basis is the method that will be most suitable.
