The rent for a one-bedroom apartment in Southern California follows the normal distribution with a mean of $2,200 per month and

a standard deviation of $250 per month. The distribution of the monthly costs does not follow the normal distribution. In fact, it is positively skewed. What is the probability of selecting a sample of 50 one bedroom apartments and finding the mean to be at least $1,950 per month?

Answer:

The probability is 1.

Explanation:

Despite that the he distribution is positively skewed, the distribution of sample means of one-bedroom apartments  will still be a a normal distribution based on Central Limit Theorem.

Since we have

μ = mean = 2200

SD = standard deviation  = 250

n = sample size = 50

Therefore,

Standard error = SD ÷ √n

                        = 250 ÷ √50

                        = 250 ÷ 7.07106781186548

                        = 35.3553390593274  approximately 35.36

Standardize xbar to z = (xbar - μ) ÷ (SD ÷ √n)

Therefore, we have:

P(xbar > 1,950) = P(z > (1,950 - 2200) ÷ 35.36)

                        = P(z > - 250 ÷ 35.36)                      

                        = P(z > -7.07) = 1

Therefore, the probability of selecting a sample of 50 one bedroom apartments is 1 which can be said to be certain.

Advocard [28]

Answer:

A journal is provided as an attachment to record the entries for Perez Computers.

Explanation:

The gross method of cash discounts assumes that the customer will not take advantage of the offered discount.  It therefore records the sale in full without netting off the discount element.  This was done in the answer.

When Robertson paid within 10 days, the 3% cash discount was allowed since payment was received within the terms of 15 days.

For The Clark Store, there was no discount because payment was received later than the allowed 10 days.

At the beginning of the period, a company reports a balance in office supplies of $450. During the period, the company purchases
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Before passing the journal entry, first, we have to compute the total supplies consumed. The formula to compute the total supplies consumed is shown below:

= Beginning balance of supplies + Purchase of supplies - ending balance if supplies

= $450+ $3,400 - $900

= $2,950

Now the journal entry would be

Supplies expense A/c Dr   $2,950

      To Supplies A/c                            $2,950

(Being supplies consumed recorded)

If inventory is being valued at cost and the price level is steadily rising, which of the three costing methods (FIFO, LIFO, wei
Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

LIFO                

Explanation:

It will be the one that give higher Cost of goods sold. We also know that:

Cost of goods sold = Opening Inventory + Inventory Purchases - Closing Inventory

So this means the lower the closing inventory the higher the cost of goods sold and in time of price increases it will be more appropriate to use LIFO method which will reduce the Closing Inventory and this will increase the cost of goods sold and thus decrease in profit. This reduced profit means that the tax expense will also be lower in value.

Similarly the second attractive option will be the Weighted Average and the least attractive option would be FIFO costing method.
