Answer:

the probability that the woman is taller than the man is  0.1423

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

the men's heights are normally distributed with mean \mu  68

standard deviation \sigma   = 3.1

And

the women's heights are normally distributed with mean \mu  65

standard deviation \sigma   = 2.8

We are to find the probability that the woman is taller than the man.

For woman now:

mean  \mu = 65

standard deviation \sigma = 2.8

P(x > 68 ) = 1 - p( x< 68)

\\ 1 -p  \ P[(x - \mu ) / \sigma < (68-25)/ 2.8]

= 1-P (z , 1.07)

Using z table,

= 1 - 0.8577

= 0.1423

Thus, the probability that the woman is taller than the man is  0.1423

Annual starting salaries for college graduates with degrees in business administration are generally expected to be between $10,
Andreyy89

Answer:

1) the planning value for the population standard deviation is 10,000

2)

a) Margin of error E = 500, n = 1536.64 ≈ 1537

b) Margin of error E = 200, n = 9604

c) Margin of error E = 100, n = 38416

3)

As we can see, sample size corresponding to margin of error of $100 is too large and may not be feasible.

Hence, I will not recommend trying to obtain the $100 margin of error in the present case.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data in the question;

1) Planning Value for the population standard deviation will be;

⇒ ( 50,000 - 10,000 ) / 4

= 40,000 / 4

σ = 10,000

Hence, the planning value for the population standard deviation is 10,000

2) how large a sample should be taken if the desired margin of error is;

we know that, n = [ (z_{\alpha /2 × σ ) / E ]²

given that confidence level = 95%, so z_{\alpha /2  = 1.96

Now,

a) Margin of error E = 500

n = [ (z_{\alpha /2 × σ ) / E ]²

n = [ ( 1.96 × 10000 ) / 500 ]²

n = [ 19600 / 500 ]²

n = 1536.64 ≈ 1537

b) Margin of error E = 200

n = [ (z_{\alpha /2 × σ ) / E ]²

n = [ ( 1.96 × 10000 ) / 200 ]²

n = [ 19600 / 200 ]²

n = 9604

c)  Margin of error E = 100

n = [ (z_{\alpha /2 × σ ) / E ]²

n = [ ( 1.96 × 10000 ) / 100 ]²

n = [ 19600 / 100 ]²

n = 38416

3) Would you recommend trying to obtain the $100 margin of error?

As we can see, sample size corresponding to margin of error of $100 is too large and may not be feasible.

Hence, I will not recommend trying to obtain the $100 margin of error in the present case.

LiRa [457]

Answer:

c. jasper has apparently decreased the volume of items in his ending inventory as compared to the number of items in his beginning inventory

Step-by-step explanation:

First In First Out  FIFO is a type of inventory system in accounting, it literally implies that  the oldest purchase goes out first when you made a sale. The oldest purchase are charged based on cost of good sold. If price are rising, :

FIFO will yield a lower cost of good sold

FIFO will yield a higher net income

FIFO will yield higher tax liability

FIFO will yield a higher inventory

From the information given:

the business records show that the cost of the stores inventory items has been steadily increasing. the cost of the end of the year inventory is 200,000 and the cost of the beginning of the year inventory was 250,000.

What the statement implies is that:

jasper has apparently decreased the volume of items in his ending inventory as compared to the number of items in his beginning inventory
