Answer:

14.34%

Explanation:

To find the percentage of returned surveys over the total we divide and then multiply:

(717/5000)*100= 14.34%

The response rate appears to be low because it is less than 50% (which would be 2500 return surveys). Some statistical studies agree that 30 is the minimum number of observations a study must have, but this number does not ensure statistically significant results.  

The problem with a very low response rate is that survey´s answers does not significant represent the study population characteristics and so we cannot make inferences, correlations or regressions that are statistically significant. In this case, the conclusions that scientists make about association between the left-handed population and right-handed population with the use of cell phone calls could be wrong or not represent the population characteristics, which means answers are not trustful.

b.if 100 units can be produced for $100, then 150 can be produced for $150, 200 for $200, and so forth.

Rufina [12.5K]

Without cafeteria plan Karen taxable income is 2250 dollars and with cafeteria plan the taxable income is $2135.

Without cafeteria plan Katie taxable income is 2075 dollars and with cafeteria plan the taxable income is $1960.

Explanation:

A married women Karen earns = $2250

Katie single women earn = $2075

Employee contribution to health care = $115

If the Karen decline to participate in the cafeteria then her taxable income is $2250 (wages).

If the Karen accept to participate in the cafeteria then her taxable income is $2250 - $115 (contribution) = $2135

If Katie declined to participate in the cafeteria then her taxable income is $2075 (wages).

If Katie accept to participate in the cafeteria then her taxable income is $2075 - $115 (contribution) = $1960

Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

The multiple choices are :

a.$8

b.$20

c.$22

d.$45

The correct option is C.$22

Explanation:

The earnings accruing to the selling group is the selling concession of $22 per $5,000 per bond.

Option A is obviously wrong as there is nothing in the questions that suggest earnings of $8 per bond for the selling group.

Option D is wrong as well because $45 per bond is the spread  which is the extra yield to bondholders when compared to investment in government securities
