Answer:

Correct option: (b) 32.357 and 71.420

Explanation:

The confidence interval for population variance <em>σ</em>² is:

\frac{(n-1)s^{2}}{\chi^{2}_{\alpha/2, (n-1) }}\leq  \sigma^{2}\leq \frac{(n-1)s^{2}}{\chi^{2}_{(1-\alpha/2), (n-1) }}

Given:

n=51\\\alpha =1-0.95=0.05

Compute the critical values of chi-square as follows:

\chi^{2}_{\alpha/2, (n-1)}=\chi^{2}_{0.025,50}=71.42

\chi^{2}_{(1-\alpha/2), (n-1)}=\chi^{2}_{0.975,50}=32.36

Use the chi-square table for the critical value.

Thus, the critical values are 32.36 and 71.42.

A journal entry for a​ $210 payment to purchase office supplies was erroneously recorded as a debit to Office Supplies for​ $550
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

The sum of the debits will exceed the sum of the credits by $340. (None of the options given).

Explanation:

The right posting on the payment of $210 for the purchase office supplies would be;

Debit office supplies account $210

Credit Cash account $210

However since the debit to office supplies was $550 which is 340 (i.e $550 - $210) more than what the amount to have been posted is, it means that the sum of the debits will exceed the sum of the credits by $340.
