Answer:

a=0.2 -0.674*0.3=-0.00235

So the value that separates the bottom 25% of data from the top 75% is -0.00235.  

Explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable that represent the variable of interest of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(0.2,0.3)  

Where \mu=0.2 and \sigma=0.3

For this part we want to find a value a, such that we satisfy this condition:

P(X>a)=0.75   (a)

P(X   (b)

Both conditions are equivalent on this case. We can use the z score again in order to find the value a.  

As we can see on the figure attached the z value that satisfy the condition with 0.25 of the area on the left and 0.75 of the area on the right it's z=-0.674. On this case P(Z<-0.674)=0.25 and P(z>-0.674)=0.75

If we use condition (b) from previous we have this:

P(X  

P(z

But we know which value of z satisfy the previous equation so then we can do this:

z=-0.674

And if we solve for a we got

a=0.2 -0.674*0.3=-0.00235

So the value that separates the bottom 25% of data from the top 75% is -0.00235.

"The US government decides to lower military expenditures to reduce the budget deficit.What effect would you expect this shock t
algol13

Answer:

A decrease in military investment by the government, with the aim of lowering public spending, would in turn mean a decrease in aggregate demand, as less money would be inserted into society, which would reduce outputs and, due to the reduction in demand, it would also reduce inflation.

Public expenditure, in economy, indicates the complex of money of public origin that is used by the government in public goods and/or public services aimed at pursuing public purposes, such as military expenditures for national defense. These are therefore the outputs by the government and therefore an item of liabilities within the national budget, the coverage of which is necessarily entrusted to taxation on taxpaying citizens or public debt.  If public expenditure is not adequately covered by the revenue of a non-sovereign state (e.g. taxation), it enters a typical financial situation of public deficit.

g Tanning Company analyzes its receivables to estimate bad debt expense. The accounts receivable balance is $276,000 and credit
abruzzese [7]

Answer:

accounts receivable = $276,000

total credit sales = $1,000,000

3% of accounts receivable will not be decollete = $276,000 x 3% = $8,280

if allowance for doubtful accounts has a credit balance of $2,200, you must add = $8,280 - $2,200 = $6,080

the adjusting entry should be:

Dr Bad debt expense 6,080

    Cr Allowance for doubtful accounts 6,080

Since allowance for doubtful accounts is a contra asset account it has a credit balance that reduces the value of accounts receivable.

maria [59]

Answer:

c. What is the impact of foreign competition on the U.S. auto industry?

Explanation:

Economic theory is divided into two broad areas: macroeconomics and microeconomics.

Macroeconomics discusses large economic aggregates, such as income, inflation, and employment variations. It is an approach that aims to discuss these factors and bring about improvements through economic policies.

In turn, microeconomics deals with micro factors, such as the behavior of consumers and companies, including in relation to competitive structures. Therefore, item (D) deals with microeconomics and not macroeconomics.
