These data can be approximated quite well by a N(3.4, 3.1) model. Economists become alarmed when productivity decreases. Accordi

Answer:

0.6915 is the required probability.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

N(3.4, 3.1)

Mean, μ = 3.4

Standard Deviation, σ = 3.1

Formula:

z_{score} = \displaystyle\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

We have to evaluate:

P(x > \mu-0.5(\sigma)\\P(x > 3.4-0.5(3.1))\\P(x> 1.85)

Evaluation of probability:

P( x > 1.85) = P( z > \displaystyle\frac{1.85 - 3.4}{3.1}) = P(z >-0.5)

= 1 - P(z \leq -0.5)

Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,  

P(x > 1.85) = 1 - 0.3085=0.6915 = 69.15\%

0.6915 is the probability that the percent change in worker output per hour from the previous quarter is more than 0.5 standard deviations below the mean.

How do you make x the subject of the formula when your formula is y= abx? Please can you show me how you worked it out if you an
GrogVix [38]
If you want to solve for x you have to get x alone on one side of the equals sign. In order to do that you have to get rid of the stuff on the same side by doing the opposite operation so that it cancels. What you do on one side you do on. the other side to keep the equation true.

y= abx

a and b are being multiplied by x so divide by ab to cancel them out (ab/ab is 1).

y= abx/ab (ab cancels)

now divide the other side by ab to keep the equation true.

y/ab= x

Farmer Company purchased equipment on January 1, Year 1 for $82,000. The equipment is estimated to have a 5-year life and a salv
aalyn [17]

Answer:

option (a) $6,240

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Purchasing cost of the equipment = $82,000

Estimated life = 5 years

Salvage value = $4,000

Revised expected life = 8 years

Now,

Depreciation per year = \frac{\textup{82,000-4,000}}{\textup{5}}

therefore,

The accumulated Depreciation at the beginning of year 4

= Annual depreciation × years passed

= 15,600 × 3

= $46,800

Thus,

The book value at the beginning of year 4

= Purchasing cost - Depreciation

= $82,000 - $46,800

= $35,200

Now,

The remaining life = Revised estimated life - Years passed

= 8 - 3

= 5 years

therefore,

Depreciation expense =\frac{\textup{book value at the beginning of year 4 - salvage value}}{\textup{Revised estimated life}}

= \frac{\textup{35,200  - 4000}}{\textup{5}}

= $6,240

Hence,

The correct answer is option (a) $6,240
