To determine whether they need to hire extra help for the holiday season, the managers of a railroad company want to estimate ho

w long, on average, it takes a crew to unload a freight car at the Lafayette station. They will calculate an estimator as the sample mean of a random sample of unloading times. The managers want the sample mean to have a standard error of 1.51.5 minutes. The corporate office has provided a standard deviation of 99 minutes to use for calculation purposes. How large should the random sample be to ensure the sample mean has the desired standard error?

Answer:

36

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Standard error = 1.5 minutes             ( ∵ number are repetitive 1.51.5 )  

Standard deviation = 9 minutes        ( ∵ number are repetitive 99 )

Now,

Standard error = ( Standard deviation ) ÷ √n

Here,

n is the sample size

Therefore,

on substituting the respective values, we get

1.5 = 9 ÷ √n

or

√n = 9 ÷ 1.5

or

√n = 6

or

n = 6² = 36

Find the interest rate needed for the sinking fund to reach the required amount. Assume that the compounding period is the same
Maslowich

Answer:

so rate is 4.72 %

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

time (t) = 5 year  = 5×4 = 20 quarterly

amount = $27456

principal = $1225

to find out

interest rate (r)

solution

we use here amount formula that is

amount = principal ((1+r)^{t} -1 ) / r      .....................1

put all value principal , amount and time in equation 1 and we get rate

rate is r/4 because it is quarterly payment

amount = principal ((1+r/4)^{t} -1 ) / r/4

27456 = 1225 ((1+r/4)^{20} -1 ) / r/4

((1+r/4)^{20} -1 ) / r/4  = 27456/ 1225

((1+r)^{20} -1 ) / r  = 27456/ (1225 × 4)

((1+r)^{20} -1 ) = r 27456/ (1225 × 4)

now by the tvm solver and amount  $27456

graph value

we get r = 0.0472

so rate is 4.72 %
