A researcher wanted to determine the mean number of hours per week (Sunday through Saturday) the typical person watches televisi

on. Results from the Sullivan Statistics Survey I indicate that s = 7.5 hours.
(a) How many people are needed to estimate the number of hours people watch television per week within 2 hours with 95% confidence?


(b) How many people are needed to estimate the number of hours people watch television per week within 1 hour with 95% confidence?


(c) What effects does doubling the required accuracy have on the sample size?


(d) How many people are needed to estimate the number of hours people watch television per week within 2 hours with 90% confidence? Compare this result to part (a). How does decreasing the level of confidence in the estimate affect sample size? Why is this reasonable?

Answer:

A.) 54 subjects

B.) 216 subjects

C.) doubling the accuracy results in 4 times the sample size

D.) 38 subjects

Decreasing confidence level decreases sample size. For fixed error margin, the lower the confidence level, the lower the sample size

Explanation:

Standard deviation (s) = 7.5 hours

A.)

Error margin 'E' = 2

Confidence level = 0.95

α = 1 - 0.95 = 0.05, α/2 = 0.025

Z - value at α/2 = 0.025 = 1.96

Sample size = [(1.96 × 7.5)/2]^2

Sample size = 7.35^2 = 54.022

54 subjects

B.) E = 1

Sample size = [(1.96 × 7.5)/1]^2

Sample size = 14.7^2 = 216.09

216 subjects

C.) from the above, doubling the accuracy results in 4 times the sample size.

D.) Using a confidence interval of 90%

Error margin 'E' = 2

Confidence level = 0.90

α = 1 - 0.90 = 0.1, α/2 = 0.05

Z - value at α/2 = 0.05 = 1.645

Sample size = [(1.645 × 7.5)/2]^2

Sample size = 6.16875^2 = 38.05

=38 subjects

Decreasing confidence level decreases sample size. For fixed error margin, the lower the confidence level, the lower the sample size

goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

The lower prices create more demand for product from the nation with a reduction in the money supply, which leads to International Balance of Statement Differences

Explanation:

Gold standard is a monetary stem that links the value of paper money to gold.This system were used to balance income differences between countries. Countries with a balance of payments surplus would receive gold inflows, while countries in deficit would experience an outflow of gold

Here, Gold is the standard for International balance of payments differences.

Under the gold standard, gold flows reduce the money supply in one nation when another nation experiences a trade surplus.

The nation with a trade surplus has a swell in the money supply, which leads to price increases. At the same time, the nation with a reduction in the money supply will cause prices to fall.

The lower prices create more demand for product from the nation with a reduction in the money supply, which leads to International Balance of Statement Differences.

<span>The company has issued only 510,000 shares out of authorized 600,000 common stocks. As we know that dividend is paid only on issued shared, and treasury stocks do not get any dividend. So the total amount of dividend that will be paid = 0.65 * 510,000 = $331,500</span>

The Donaldson Furniture Company produces three types of rocking​ chairs: the​ children's model, the standard​ model, and the exe
lions [1.4K]

Answer and Explanation:

According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follow:-

We assume that

X = No. of children

Y  = Standard type

Z = Executive type

So,

5x + 4y + 7z = 185.........(1)

3x + 2y + 5z = 115.........(2)

2x + 2y + 4z = 94

x + y + 2z = 47.........(3)

Equation (2) multiply by 2

6x + 4y + 10z = 230

From equation (1) to (2)

5x + 4y + 7z = 185

6x + 4y + 10z = 230

-x + 0 - 3z = -45

x + 3z = 45.......(4)

Equation (3) multiply by 4

4x + 4y + 8z = 188

From equation (1) to (3)

5x + 4y + 7z = 185

4x + 4y + 8z = 188

x + 0 - z = -3

- x + z = 3……(5)

From equation (5) to (4)

x + 3z = 45

-x + z = 3

4z = 48

Executive type = Z = 48 ÷ 4 = 12

Z = 12 in equation (5)

-x + 12 = 3

x = 9 (children type)

x=9, z=12 in equation 1

5x + 4y + 7z = 185

5 × 9 + 4 × y + 7 × 12=185

45 + 4 × y + 84 = 185

4y = 56 ÷ 4

Y= 14(Standard type)
