Given a histogram which is stewed to the right.

If a histogram is skewed, the median (Q2) is a better estimate of the "center" of the histogram than the sample mean.

Therefore, the median and the quartiles are the best <span>measure of center and variability would be most appropriate to report for this distribution.</span>

Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

c)$568; $378; $54

Explanation:

($1,120 - $1,000)/$1,000 = 12%

(0.6)14% + (0.4)10% = 12.4%

12% = w5% + 12.4%(1 - w)

w = .054

1-w = .946

w = 0.054($1,000)

= $54 (T-bills)

1 - w = 1 - 0.054 = 0.946

0.946($1,000) = $946

$946 x 0.6 = $568 in X

$946 x 0.4 = $378 in Y.

A streaming music site changed its format to focus on previously unreleased music from rising artists. the site manager now want
pishuonlain [190]

Answer : The p-value of 0.0743 is greater than alpha at 0.05; so we fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is no significant difference in the number of unique users before and after a change in policy.

In this question, the manager wants to know if the number of users has changed.

So, the null and alternate hypotheses are:

Null Hypothesis: {H_{0}}: \mu = 131,520

Alternate Hypothesis : {H_{1}}: \mu \not\equiv 131,520

Type of test : Two-tailed test

The level of significance is 95%

We can calculate alpha (α) as follows:

\alpha = 1- Confidence Level

\alpha = 1- 0.95
\alpha = 0.05

The p value = 0.0743.

We use the following rules to arrive at a conclusion when p-values and alpha is given:

If p-value < \alpha, reject the null hypothesis

If p-value \geq \alpha, we don't reject the null hypothesis.

Since the p-value is greater than alpha, we don't reject the null hypothesis.

People end up tossing 12% of what they buy at the grocery store (Reader's Digest, March, 2009). Assume this is the true populati
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.

A firm has a P/E ratio of 12 and a ROE of 13% and a market to book value of what?
maxonik [38]

Answer:

1.56

Explanation:

Calculation for the market-to-book value

First step is to calculate for the P/E ratio

P/E ratio=1/12

P/E ratio= 0.0833

Now let find the market-to-book value using this formula

Market-to-book value = ROE percentage/P/E ratio

Let plug in the formula

Market-to-book value=0.13/0.0833

Market-to-book value= 1.56

Therefore the Market-to-book value will be 1.56
