Each of 16 students measured the circumference of a tennis ball by four different methods, which were:

antoniya [11.8K]

Question Continuation

a. Compute the mean measurement for each method.

b. Compute the median measurement for. each method.

c. Compute the 20% trimmed mean measurement for each method.

Answer:

a. Mean

Mean A = 22.675

Mean B = 20.71875

Mean C = 21.0125

Mean D = 20.86875

b. Median

Median A = 23.45

Median B = 20.45

Median C = 21.0

Median D = 20.7

c. 20% Trimmed Mean

Trimmed Mean A = 23.14

Trimmed Mean B = 20.73

Trimmed Mean C = 21.04

Trimmed Mean D = 20.75

Explanation:

a.

Mean = Σx/n

Where Σx= Summation of entries in each method

n = 16

Mean of Method A = (18.0 + 18.0 +18.0 + 19.0 + 22.0 + 22.0 + 22.5 + 22.9 + 24.0 + 24.0 + 25.0 +25.0 + 25.0 + 25.0 + 26.0 +26.4)/16

Mean A = 362.8/16

Mean A = 22.675

Mean of Method B = (18.8 + 18.9 + 18.9 + 19.8 + 20.1 + 20.4 + 20.4 + 20.4 + 20.6 + 20.5 + 21.2 + 21.9 + 22.0 + 22.0 + 22.0 + 23.6)16

Mean B = 331.5/16

Mean B = 20.71875

Mean of Method C = (20.2 + 20.5 + 20.5 + 20.7 + 20.8 + 20.9 + 21.0 + 21.0 + 21.0 + 21.0 + 21.0 + 21.5 + 21.5 + 21.5 + 21.5 + 21.6)/16

Mean C = 336.2/16

Mean C = 21.0125

Mean of Method D = (20.0 + 20.0 + 20.0 + 20.2 + 20.2 + 20.5 + 20.5 + 20.7 + 20.7 + 20.7 + 21.0 + 21.5 + 21.5 + 21.6 + 22.1 + 22.3)/16

Mean D = 333.9/16

Mean D = 20.86875

b.

Median is the number(s) at the middle

Since the total number of points for each method is 16 and this is an even number we need to calculate the median as the average between the 8th and the 9th position of the data ordered from the smallest to the largest. If we do this we have that:

Method A

Arranged Data: 18.0, 18.0, 18.0, 19.0, 22.0, 22.0, 22.5, 22.9, 24.0, 24.0, 25.0, 25.0, 25.0, 25.0, 26.0, 26.4

The 8th and 9th data are: 22.9 and 24.0

Median = (22.9 + 24.0/2

Median = 46.9/2

Median A = 23.45

Method B

Arranged Data: 18.8, 18.9, 18.9, 19.8, 20.1, 20.4, 20.4, 20.4, 20.5, 20.6, 21.2, 21.9, 22.0, 22.0, 22.0, 23.6

The 8th and 9th data are: 20.4 and 20.5

Median = (20.4+20.5)/2

Median = 40.9/2

Median B = 20.45

Method C

Arranged Data: 20.2, 20.5, 20.5, 20.7, 20.8, 20.9, 21.0, 21.0, 21.0, 21.0, 21.0, 21.5, 21.5, 21.5, 21.5, 21.6

The 8th and 9th data are: 21.0 and 21.0

Median = (21.0 + 21.0)/2

Median = 42.0/2

Median C = 21.0

Method D

Arranged Data: 20.0, 20.0, 20.0, 20.2, 20.2, 20.5, 20.5, 20.7, 20.7, 20.7, 21.0, 21.5, 21.5, 21.6, 22.1, 22.3

The 8th and 9th data are: 20.7 and 20.7

Median = (20.7+20.7)/2

Median = 41.4/2

Median D = 20.7

c.

The trimmed mean by 20% means that we'll calculate mean by removing the 20% from each of the tails.

20% of 16 = 3.2 (Approximated to 3)

So we need to remove 3 observations from both ends of the data.

Method A becomes

19.0, 22.0, 22.0, 22.5, 22.9, 24.0, 24.0, 25.0, 25.0, 25.0

Trimmed Mean A = (19.0+22.0+22.0+22.5+ 22.9+24.0+24.0+25.0+ 25.0+ 25.0)/10

Trimmed Mean A = 231.4/10

Trimmed Mean A = 23.14

Method B becomes

19.8, 20.1, 20.4, 20.4, 20.4, 20.6, 20.5, 21.2, 21.9, 22.0

Trimmed Mean B = (19.8+20.1+20.4+ 20.4+ 20.4+20.6+20.5+21.2+21.9+22.0)/10

Trimmed Mean B = 207.3/10

Trimmed Mean B = 20.73

Method C becomes

20.7, 20.8, 20.9, 21.0, 21.0, 21.0, 21.0, 21.0, 21.5, 21.5

Trimmed Mean C = (20.7+ 20.8+ 20.9+ 21.0+ 21.0+ 21.0+21.0+, 21.0+, 21.5+21.5)/10

Trimmed Mean C = 210.4/10

Trimmed Mean C = 21.04

Method D becomes

20.2, 20.2, 20.5, 20.5, 20.7, 20.7, 20.7, 21.0, 21.5, 21.5

Trimmed Mean D = (20.2+, 20.2+20.5+, 20.5+ 20.7+ 20.7+ 20.7 +, 21.0 +21.5 + 21.5)/10

Trimmed Mean D = 207.5/10

Trimmed Mean D = 20.75

Sheldon, Inc. declared a stock dividend of 50,000 shares on a date when the company's common stock was selling for $ 18 per sh

Ymorist [56]

Answer:

As a result of this stock dividend, Sheldon's common stock will increase by $900,000, the additional paid in capital will not change, and the retained earnings will decrease by $900,000

Explanation:

Stock dividend is paying dividends by issuing additional stocks to shareholders.

In this case,50,000 shares were issued instead of paying cash dividends.

The stock dividend is financed from retained earnings and the amount involved is $900,000(50000*$18).

However,common stock would witness an increase of $900,000 by a way of credit and retained earnings would reduce by the same amount with no impact in the paid in capital in excess of par since the par value of the stock was not provided,hence it is no par value stock.

A bank offers 8.00% on savings accounts. What is the effective annual rate if interest is compounded semi-annually?Percentage Ro

Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

Effective Annual Rate = 8.1600%

Explanation:

The effective annual rate the interest rate that is adjusted for compounding over a given period of time. It is given by the formula:

$r = (1+\frac{i}{n})^n -1\\where:\\r = effective\ annual\ rate\\i = nominal\ interest\ rate\ = 8.00\% = 0.08 \\n = number\ of\ compounding\ periods\ per\ year\ = 2\ (semi-annually)$

$r = (1+\frac{0.08}{2})^2 -1\\r = (1\ +\ 0.04)^2 - 1\\r = (1.04)^2 - 1\\r = 1.0816 - 1\\r = 0.0816\\r = 8.1600 \%$
