Private colleges and universities rely on money contributed by individuals and corporations for their operating expenses. Much o

f tis moeny is put int a fund called an endowment, and the college spends only the interest earned by the fund. A recent survey of 8 private colleges in the United States revealed the following endowments (in millions of dollars): 60.2, 47.0, 235.1, 490.0, 122.6, 177.5, 95.4, and 222.0. Summary statistics yield X-bar (aka the mean)= 180.975 and S = 143.042.
a.) Calculate a 95% confidence interval for the mean endowment of all the private colleges in the United States assuming a normal distribution for the endowments.

b.) Calculate a 99% confidence interval for the mean endowment of all the private colleges in the United States assuming a normal distribution for the endowments.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that private colleges and universities rely on money contributed by individuals and corporations for their operating expenses

A recent survey of 8 private colleges in the United States revealed the following endowments (in millions of dollars)

Mean = 180.975 and std dev s = 143.042

Assuming a normal distribution we have 95% critical value is 1.96 and 99% critical value is 2.58

a) 95% Conf interval = Mean ±1.96* std error

=(180.975-1.96(\frac{143.042}{\sqrt{8} } ,180.975+1.96(\frac{143.042}{\sqrt{8} })\\= (81.851, 280.098)

Since sample size is very small confidence interval is wider.

b) 99% Conf interval = Mean ±2.58* std error

=(180.975-2.58(\frac{143.042}{\sqrt{8} } ,180.975+2.58(\frac{143.042}{\sqrt{8} })\\= (50.50,311.45)

Since sample size is very small confidence interval is wider.

West and Company uses the LIFO method to calculate inventory values. Their beginning inventory consisted of 200 units at a cost
nirvana33 [79]
The total inventory is 200 + 300 + 400 + 100 = 1000. If 300 units remained, the we calculate the cost of the 700 sold via LIFO. These 700 units include the 100 units at $12.00, the 400 units at $11.00, and 200 units at $10.00 (out of the 300 purchased). This is a total cost of 100*12 + 400*11 + 200*10 = 1200 + 4400 + 2000 = $7600.
