Note:
I wasn't able to access the Chester Income Statement but I successfully accessed a similar question Digby. 
The Complete Question is as under:
Refer to the HR Reports in the Inquirer. Through past investments in recruiting and training Digby has obtained a productivity index of 109.6%. This means that Digby's labor costs would be increased by 9.6% if it did not have these productivity improvements. This is a competitive advantage that Digby can sustain or even widen further if its competitors have no HR initiatives. Now, refer to the Income Statement in Digby's Annual Report. How much did Digby's productivity improvements save it in direct labor costs (in thousands) last year?
A. $766
B. $29818
C. $3137
D. $3211
Answer:
Option D. $3,137
Explanation:
The Productivity Index of 9.6% shows that if the improvement plan is implemented then the efficiency gains would result in saving of 9.6% of total direct cost. So if we total the direct cost for the year for all of the four products then we have an amount of $32,680 which is given at the second last column.
The amount saved last year would be:
Savings = $32,680 * 9.6% = $3,137
Hence the option C is correct here.

Answer/Explanation:
Statistics educators often talk about their desired learning goals for students, and invariably, refer to outcomes such as being statistically literate, thinking statistically, and using good statistical reasoning. Despite the frequent reference to these outcomes and terms, there have been no agreed upon definitions or distinctions. Therefore, the following definitions were proposed by Garfield (2005 and have been elaborated in Garfield and Ben-Zvi (2008).
Statistical literacy is regarded as a key ability expected of citizens in information-laden societies, and is often touted as an expected outcome of schooling and as a necessary component of adults’ numeracy and literacy. Statistical literacy involves understanding and using the basic language and tools of statistics: knowing what basic statistical terms mean, understanding the use of simple statistical symbols, and recognizing and being able to interpret different representations of data (Garfield 1999; Rumsey 2002; Snell 1999)
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
$21,080.2
Explanation:
The price of the car will be the down-payment plus the future value of 375 paid each month for 5 years compounded monthly at 9.72%.
The formula for calculating future value is
 PV = P ×  1 − (1+r)−n 
  	r
PV is $350
r is 9.72 % or 0.0972 % per year or 0.0081
t is five year or 60 months
FV = 350 x (1-(1+0.0081)-60
  	0.0081
Fv =350 x 1-0.61628715419
  	0.0081
FV =350 x( 0.38371284581/0.00810
FV =350 x 47.371956
FV =16,580.20
The value of the car = $4500 + 16,580.20
=$21,080.2
