Annual salary plus bonus data for chief executive officers are presented in the BusinessWeek Annual Pay Survey. A preliminary sa

mple showed that the standard deviation is $675 with data provided in thousands of dollars. How many chief executive officers should be in a sample if we want to estimate the population mean annual salary plus bonus with a margin of error of $100,000?

Answer: 176.

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula to find the sample size is given by :-

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

, where \sigma = Population standard deviation from prior study.

E = margin of error.

z* = Critical value.

As per given , we have

\sigma=\$675000

E= $100,000

We take 95% confidence interval.

Critical value (Two tailed)=z^*=1.96

The required sample size = n=(\dfrac{(1.96)\cdot 675000}{100000})^2

n=(13.23)^2\\\\ n=175.03299\approx176 [Round to next integer]

Hence, the required sample size = 176.

You intend to draw a random sample in order to test a hypothesis about an unknown population mean. You will use a hypothesis tes
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

The correct order is :

1. Determine the null and alternative hypothesis.

2. Select a sample and compute the z - score for the sample mean.

3. Determine the probability at which you will conclude that the sample outcome is very unlikely.

4. Make a decision about the unknown population.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct order of the steps of a hypothesis test is given following

1. Determine the null and alternative hypothesis.

2. Select a sample and compute the z - score for the sample mean.

3. Determine the probability at which you will conclude that the sample outcome is very unlikely.

4. Make a decision about the unknown population.

These steps are performed in the given sequence to test a hypothesis.

Factorise the expression: <br> x^2 - 144 <br><br> and<br><br> 2ax – 6ay + bx – 3by
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

(x-12)(x+12) and (2a+b)(x-3y)

Step-by-step explanation:

So first we have:

x^2-144

The key here is that there is no bx in the ax^2+bx+c equation here.

This means that b must equal 0, or in other words, cancel itself out.

To do this, first, the two factors must have opposite signs, and secondly, the blank values must be equal (x+_) * (x-_)

What could they be? The c value, 144, equals the two blank values multiplied together. Since they are in the same in this case, blank value^2 = 144, or \sqrt{144} = blank

\sqrt{144} = 12

So the answer is:

(x+12)(x-12)

Next we have:

2ax - 6ay + bx - 3by

This is a bit more tricky, but first we must facor out some numbers/variables to simplify.

Lets seperate the two parts of this equation:

2ax - 6ay and bx - 3by

Now lets look at:

2ax - 6ay

How can we simplify this? Factor the 2a, which both have in common:

2a(x-3y)

Now lets look at and factor it too:

bx - 3by

Only b can be factored out, which gives us:

b(x-3y)

Now lets put this back into our orginal equation:

2a(x-3y) + b(x-3y)

Both of these have x-3y. Concidence? Nope!

From the way we split the equation into two pieces and factored, the two x-3ys are actually the same, and we can combine them!

Then, the 2a and the +b can be combined to give us:

(2a+b)

Puttting these together gives us:

(2a+b)(x-3y)

Hope this helps!

Reuben has always dreamed of opening a café by the seaside. He decides he will save to help open the café by depositing money in
castortr0y [4]

Answer:$ 66.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Using ordinary Annuity formula

FV=\frac{P\times \left [ \left ( 1+r\right )^n-1\right ]}{r}

FV=future value=$24000

P=monthly payment

r=rate of interest =5.4%

for monthly r=\frac{5.4}{12}=0.45%

n=number of payments  =9\times 12=108

24000=\frac{P\times \left [ \left ( 1+0.0045\right )^{108}-1\right ]}{0.0045}

108=P\times (1.6240)

P=$ 66.501

sop monthly deposit of  $ 66.5 is required.
