The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Explain the HIPP of the primary sources below source: "letter written by John Rolfe."
"H" stands for Historical context. John Rolf was an important component in the foundation and success of the Jamestown, Virginia colony, in the North American territory. In the letter, he explains the Governor of the colony, Thomas Dale, his reasons to marry Pocahontas, a Native American Indian woman.
"I" stands for the Intended audience. The Governor of Jamestown, Virginia colony, Thomas Dale. The intention of John Rolfe was to clearly explain his motives, trying to maintain his intact reputation before the people of Jamestown.
"P" stands for Purpose. Rolfe wanted the approval of the Governor, knowing that in those years, Native American Indians were considered savages that first needed to be converted to the Christian religion to be accepted in the colonial society.
"P" stands for Point of view. In this part, we have to understand the point the author is trying to convey. In this case, John Rolfe, an English man, and an important figure that brought the toc¿bacco seed from the Caribbean Islands to grow tobacco crops in Jamestown and made tobacco the king of crops in Virginia wanted to justify his actions but not wanted to compromise his position before the Jamestown society.
There are four chararacteristics, which are:
1. Relatively few transactions affect the account balances, but each transaction is often highly material
2. The exclusion or misstatement of a single transaction can be material
3. A legal relationship exists between the client entity and the holder of the stock, bond, or similar ownership document
4. A direct relationship exists between the interest and dividends accounts and debt and equity
Answer:
A. 0.3204 B. $14.669
Explanation:
Mean = 8.9 SD = 4.5
Required probability = P (X >/= 550/50)
P(X>/=11) = 1 - P[(X - mean/SD) < (11 - mean)/SD]
= 1 - P(Z < (11-8.9)/4.5)
P(X>/=11) = 1 - P(Z < 0.4666667)
Using Excel NORMDIST(0.4666667,0,1,1)
P(X>/=11) = 1 - 0.6796 = 0.3204
The probability that she will earn at least $550 = 0.3204
b. P
(
X > x
) = 0.10
1 − P
(
X − mean)/SD ≤ (x − mean)
/SD = 0.10
P
(
Z ≤ z
) = 0.90
Where,
z = (x − mean
)/SD
Excel function for the value of z:
=NORMSINV(0.9)
=1.282
Hence (x - mean)/SD = 1.282
= (x - 8.9)/4.5 = 1.282
x = (1.282*4.5) + 8.9
x = 14.669
He earns $14.669 on the best 10% of such weekends.
Answer:
a. 3.56%
b. 2.31%
Explanation:
In this question, we use the Rate formula which is shown in the spreadsheet.
The NPER represents the time period.
Given that,
Present value = $1,040
Assuming figure - Future value or Face value = $1,000
PMT = 1,000 × 4% ÷ 2 = $20
NPER = 11 years × 2 = 22 years
The formula is shown below:
= Rate(NPER;PMT;-PV;FV;type)
The present value come in negative
So, after solving this,
1. The pretax cost of debt is = 2 × 1.78% = 3.56%
2. And, the after tax cost of debt would be
= Pretax cost of debt × ( 1 - tax rate)
= 3.56% × ( 1 - 0.35)
= 2.31%
Answer:
allows accurate predictions.
Explanation:
The law of large numbers states that the larger the amount of policy holders, the probability distribution of the number of claims (losses for the insurance company) will be shaped like a normal distribution. This allows the companies to make more accurate predictions about the future number of claims.
In statistics, the law of large numbers states that as the sample size increases, the mean will be much closer to the real mean of the total population.
