The proportion of junior executives leaving large manufacturing companies within three years is to be estimated within 3 percent

. The 0.95 degree of confidence is to be used. A study conducted several years ago revealed that the percent of junior executives leaving within three years was 21. To update this study, the files of how many junior executives should be studied?
Also - for a question like this, how do we know what formula to use?

Answer: 709

Step-by-step explanation:

The formulas we use to find the required sample size :-

1. n=(\dfrac{z^*\cdot \sigma}{E})^2

, where \sigma = population standard deviation,

E = Margin of error .

z* = Critical value

2. n=p(1-p)(\dfrac{z^*}{E})^2 , where p= prior estimate of population proportion.

3. If prior estimate of population proportion is unavailable , then we take p= 0.5 and the formula becomes

n=0.25(\dfrac{z^*}{E})^2

Given : Margin of error : E= 3% =0.03

Critical value for 95% confidence interval = z*= 1.96

A study conducted several years ago revealed that the percent of junior executives leaving within three years was 21%.

i.e. p=0.21

Then by formula 2., the required sample size will be :

n=0.21(1-0.21)(\dfrac{1.96}{0.03})^2

n=0.21(0.79)(65.3333)^2

n=(0.1659)(4268.44008889)\\\\ n=708.134933333\approx709 [Round to the next integer.]

Hence, the required sample size of junior executives should be studied = 709

HELP, i’m not good a triangles
seraphim [82]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

SSS stand for Side Side Side, so the truangle must identify all it's sides. To identify sides it uses lines through the side like in B where 1 side has 1 line, 1 side has 2 lines, and the other side has 3 lines. That is the side identifiers, and because each side in B matches with 1 side in A, means that A and B are congruent because they have the same sides, so SSS.

This is confusing to explain, if you have any questions post them in the comments.

Evaluate -3+y/5 when y= -2.5
guapka [62]
-1.1. You have to add -2.5 and -3 which gives you -5.5. When you divide -5.5 over 5 that gives you -1.1.

Ronch [10]

Answer:

1cm

Step-by-step explanation:

from the scale we know that

1cm on the map is equal to 300cms on the ground

Below I have made a table and used the unitary method.

Distance on Map Distance on ground

1cm 300cm

let width be = x width = 3m = 300cm

hence

width = ( 1 ×300)/ 300 = 1cm

Hope this helps

Pryce Company owns equipment that cost $65,000 when purchased on January 1, 2012. It has been depreciated using the straight-lin
ki77a [65]
Monthly depreciation is calculated as follows:
65,000 (Cost) – 5,000 (Salvage Value) ÷ 60 (5 years X 12 months per year) = 1,000 in depreciation per month.

a) Accumulated depreciation from 1/1/12 to 1/1/15 is 36,000 (12 months for 2012, 2013, & 2014).
Assuming that sale was a Cash sale, the journal entry would look like this:
1/1/15
Cash (DR) 31,000
Accumulated Depreciation (DR) 36,000
Equipment (CR) 65,000
Gain on Sale of Equipment (CR) 2,000

b) Accumulated depreciation from 1/1/12 to 5/1/15 is 40,000 (12 months for 2012, 2013, 2014, & 4 months for 2015).
Assuming that sale was a Cash sale, the journal entry would look like this:
5/1/15
Cash (DR) 31,000
Accumulated Depreciation (DR) 40,000
Equipment (CR) 65,000
Gain on Sale of Equipment (CR) 6,000

c) Accumulated depreciation from 1/1/12 to 1/1/15 is 36,000 (12 months for 2012, 2013, & 2014).
Assuming that sale was a Cash sale, the journal entry would look like this:
1/1/15
Cash (DR) 11,000
Accumulated Depreciation (DR) 36,000
Loss on Sale of Equipment (DR) 18,000
Equipment (CR) 65,000

d) Accumulated depreciation from 1/1/12 to 10/1/15 is 45,000 (12 months for 2012, 2013, 2014, & 9 months for 2015).
Assuming that sale was a Cash sale, the journal entry would look like this:
10/1/15
Cash (DR) 11,000
Accumulated Depreciation (DR) 45,000
Loss on Sale of Equipment (DR) 9,000
Equipment (CR) 65,000

Not my answers, but I hope this will help you. :)
