<span>Because it is almost impossible to suss out whether a person will be able to learn a new job or be able to fit in with the rest of the work crew just by interviewing and reviewing resumes. And more specifically, in a unionized situation, if probation did not exist it could be virtually impossible and extremely time consuming to justify terminating employment once someone is hired on.</span>

The rent for a one-bedroom apartment in Southern California follows the normal distribution with a mean of $2,200 per month and
andriy [413]

Answer:

The probability is 1.

Explanation:

Despite that the he distribution is positively skewed, the distribution of sample means of one-bedroom apartments  will still be a a normal distribution based on Central Limit Theorem.

Since we have

μ = mean = 2200

SD = standard deviation  = 250

n = sample size = 50

Therefore,

Standard error = SD ÷ √n

                        = 250 ÷ √50

                        = 250 ÷ 7.07106781186548

                        = 35.3553390593274  approximately 35.36

Standardize xbar to z = (xbar - μ) ÷ (SD ÷ √n)

Therefore, we have:

P(xbar > 1,950) = P(z > (1,950 - 2200) ÷ 35.36)

                        = P(z > - 250 ÷ 35.36)                      

                        = P(z > -7.07) = 1

Therefore, the probability of selecting a sample of 50 one bedroom apartments is 1 which can be said to be certain.

You win a lottery with a prize of $1.5 million. Unfortunately the prize is paid in 10 equal annual installments. The first payme
EastWind [94]

The prize is really worth $1,006,512.21.

<h3>What is present value?</h3>

Present value is the sum of cash flows discounted at the rate of interest or the discount rate.  The annual cash flows for the next 10 years = $1.5 million / 10 = 150,000

The present value can be determined using a financial calculator

Cash flow from year 1 to 10 = $150,000

Discount rate = 8%

Present value = $1,006,512.21

Here is the complete question: You win a lottery with a prize of $1.5 million. Unfortunately the prize is paid in 10 an¬nual installments. The first payment is next year. How much is the prize really worth? The discount rate is 8 percent.

EuroRail and Swiss Rail are hypothetical railways that have a duopoly on the route that connects the cities of Zurich and Munich
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

Select the answer that best describes the strategies in this game.

  • Both companies dominant strategy is to add the train.

Does a Nash equilibrium exist in this game?

  • A Nash equilibrium exists where both companies add a train. (Since I'm not sure how your matrix is set up I do not know the specific location).

Explanation:

we can prepare a matrix to determine the best strategy:

                                                  Swiss Rails

                                     add train             do not add train

                                    $1,500 /             $2,000 /

           add train                     $4,000                $7,500

EuroRail

      do not add train    $4,000 /             $3,000 /

                                               $2,000                $3,000

Swiss Rails' dominant strategy is to add the train = $1,500 + $4,000 = $5,500. The additional revenue generated by not adding = $5,000.

EuroRail's dominant strategy is to add the train = $4,000 + $7,500 = $11,500. The additional revenue generated by not adding = $5,000.

A Nash equilibrium exists because both companies' dominant strategy is to add a train.

Puvo, Inc., manufactures a single product in which variable manufacturing overhead is assigned on the basis of standard direct l
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

$4,089 Unfavorable

Explanation:

Data provided

Standard variable rate = $9.20

Direct labor hours = 1,160

Variable manufacturing overhead costs = $14,761

The computation of variable overhead rate variance is shown below:-

Variable overhead rate variance = (Standard variable rate - (Variable manufacturing overhead costs ÷ Direct labor hours)) × Direct labor hours

= ($9.20 - ($14,761 ÷ 1,160) × 1,160

= ($9.20 - $12.725) × 1160

= $4,089 Unfavorable

Therefore for computing the variable overhead rate variance we simply applied the above formula.
