Answer:

D. 30

Step-by-step explanation:

Having a population that doesn't follow normal distribution (skewed) can still have sampling distribution that is completely normal. This fact is presented in the Central Limit Theorem.

Central Limit Theorem: states that we can have a normal distribution of sample means even if the original population doesn't follow normal distribution, we just need to take a large sample.

So how much sample size do we need?

There is no straight forward answer to this rather we have to analyse the situation closely!

1. If the population distribution is already normal then a smaller sample size would be enough to ensure normal distribution.

2. If the population distribution is very skewed than a larger number of sample size is needed to ensure normal distribution. The rule of thumb is to take sample size equal to or more than 30 to be on safer side. This is the case in this problem hence option D fits the best.

A business journal investigation of the performance and timing of corporate acquisitions discovered that in a random sample of 2
ANTONII [103]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the one sample proportion test:

z = (p-P) / √{P (1-P)/n}

Where p = 709/2640= 0.27, P = 0.29, n= 2640

Thus z = (0.27-0.29) / √{0.29 (1-0.29) / 2640}

z = (-0.02) / √{0.29(0.71) /2640}

z = (-0.02) / √0.00007799

z = (0.02) / 0.0088

z = 2.27

To be able to draw a conclusion, lets find the p value at the 0.1 level of significant: p value is 0.2327. The result is significant as the p value is greater than 0.1 thus we will fail to reject the null and conclude that there is not enough statistical evidence to prove that the true percentage of all firms that announced one or more acquisitions during the year 2000 is less than 29%

Answer:

<h2>V  =  360π in³</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

the formula for the volume of a cone of base radius r and height h is:

V = (1/3)(πr²)(h).  Here, r = 6 in and h = 30 in.  Then,

V = (1/3)(π)(6 in)²(30 in), or

   = (1/3)π(36 in²)(30 in), or

V  =  360π in³
