Answer: snowball sampling
Explanation:
Snowball sampling is a nonprobability sampling technique in which an initial group of respondents is selected and subsequent respondents are selected based on the referrals or information provided by the initial respondents.
It should be noted that in snowball sampling, after the respondents have been interviewed, theywould be told asked to help identify other people
that also belong to the target population.
The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question:
The following annual returns for Stock E are projected over the next year for three possible states of the economy. What is the stock’s expected return and standard deviation of returns? E(R) = 8.5% ; σ = 22.70%; mean = $7.50; standard deviation = $2.50
State Prob E(R)
Boom 10% 40%
Normal 60% 20%
Recession
30% - 25%
Answer:
The expected return of the stock E(R) is 8.5%.
The standard deviation of the returns is 22.7%
Explanation:
<u>Expected return</u>
The expected return of the stock can be calculated by multiplying the stock's expected return E(R) in each state of economy by the probability of that state.
The expected return E(R) = (0.4 * 0.1) + (0.2 * 0.6) + (-0.25 * 0.3)
The expected return E(R) = 0.04 + 0.12 -0.075 = 0.085 or 8.5%
<u>Standard Deviation of returns</u>
The standard deviation is a measure of total risk. It measures the volatility of the stock's expected return. The standard deviation (SD) of a stock's return can be calculated by using the following formula:
SD = √(rA - E(R))² * (pA) + (rB - E(R))² * (pB) + ... + (rN - E(R))² * (pN)
Where,
- rA, rB to rN is the return under event A, B to N.
- pA, pB to pN is the probability of these events to occur
- E(R) is the expected return of the stock
Here, the events are the state of economy.
So, SD = √(0.4 - 0.085)² * (0.1) + (0.2 - 0.085)² * (0.6) + (-0.25 - 0.085)² * (0.3)
SD = 0.22699 or 22.699% rounded off to 22.70%

Answer:
, other things being equal?DPMO= # of defects/# of opportunities for error per unit x # of units (1,000,000)DPMO= 23/1500 x 1,000,000 or DPMO= 23/1,500,000,000 or DPMO= 1.53The 1.53 is within the target specification of Six Sigma. This performance is rated as within limits means the process is working well. The product is within the limits of the defects allowed based off the1500 parts or the “four defects per million units
Explanation:
Answer:
Total Stockholders' Equity = $2,334,370
Explanation:
Note: See the attached excel file for the stockholders' equity section of the balance sheet for Finishing Touches as of December 31, 2018 with all the formulae used.
In the attached excel file, the retained earnings is calculated as follows:
Retained earnings = Net income – Common dividends - Preferred dividends = $149,000 - $94,000 - $1,330) = $53,670
From the attached excel file, we have:
Total Stockholders' Equity = $2,334,370
