A. Location A: Probability / Outcome .50 / 20% .30 / 9% .20 / -10%
B. Location B: Probability / Outcome .40/ 19% .32 / 7.5% .28 / -11%
C. Location C: Probability / Outcome .45 / 22% .50 / 6% .05 / -15%

Answer:

Location C should be selected.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information,

We need to determine which location should be selected.

We need to select the location with highest outcome

Location A) Probability / Outcome .50 / 20% .30 / 9% .20 / -10%

Outcomes = $0.5 \times 20+0.3\times 9+0.2\times (-10)$

Outcomes = $10+2.7-2$

Outcomes = $10.7\%$

Location B) Probability / Outcome .40/ 19% .32 / 7.5% .28 / -11%

Outcomes = $0.4 \times 19+0.32\times 7.5+0.28\times (-11)$

Outcomes = $7.6+2.4-3.08$

Outcomes = $6.92\%$

Location C: Probability / Outcome .45 / 22% .50 / 6% .05 / -15%

Outcomes = $0.45 \times 22+0.50\times 6+0.05\times (-15)$

Outcomes = $9.9+3-0.75$

Outcomes = $12.15\%$

Hence, location C has highest outcomes among all the locations. So Location C should be selected.

The accounting department analyzes the variance of the weekly unit costs reported by two production departments. A sample of 16

dusya [7]

Answer:

$F=\frac{s^2_2}{s^2_1}=\frac{5.5}{2.5}=2.2$

Now we can calculate the p value but first we need to calculate the degrees of freedom for the statistic. For the numerator we have $n_2 -1 =16-1=15$ and for the denominator we have $n_1 -1 =16-1=15$ and the F statistic have 15 degrees of freedom for the numerator and 15 for the denominator. And the P value is given by:

$p_v =2*P(F_{15,15}>2.2)=0.138$

For this case the p value is highert than the significance level so we haev enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis and we can conclude that the true deviations are not significantly different

Step-by-step explanation:

Information given

$n_1 = 16$ represent the sampe size 1

$n_2 =16$ represent the sample 2

$s^2_1 = 2.5$ represent the sample deviation for 1

$s^2_2 = 5.5$ represent the sample variance for 2

$\alpha=0.10$ represent the significance level provided

The statistic is given by:

$F=\frac{s^2_2}{s^2_1}$

Hypothesis to test

We want to test if the variations in terms of the variance are equal, so the system of hypothesis are:

H0: $\sigma^2_1 = \sigma^2_2$

H1: $\sigma^2_1 \neq \sigma^2_2$

The statistic is given by:

$F=\frac{s^2_2}{s^2_1}=\frac{5.5}{2.5}=2.2$

Now we can calculate the p value but first we need to calculate the degrees of freedom for the statistic. For the numerator we have $n_2 -1 =16-1=15$ and for the denominator we have $n_1 -1 =16-1=15$ and the F statistic have 15 degrees of freedom for the numerator and 15 for the denominator. And the P value is given by:

$p_v =2*P(F_{15,15}>2.2)=0.138$

For this case the p value is highert than the significance level so we haev enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis and we can conclude that the true deviations are not significantly different

The area of the parallelogram is 96 square miles. Find its base and height.

MakcuM [25]

You can't. There are an infinite number of different parallelograms,
with different dimensions, that all have area of 96 square miles.

Knowing the area doesn't tell you the dimensions.

Here are a few parallelograms with areas of 96 square miles:

-- square, every side 4√6 miles long

-- rectangle, 12 miles long, 8 miles wide

-- parallelogram, base=32 miles, height=3 miles

There are an infinite number of others.
