Staples, a chain of large office supply stores, sells a line of desktop and laptop computers. Company executives want to know wh

ether the demands for these two types of computers are dependent on one another. Each day's demand for each type of computers is categorized as Low, Medium-Low, Medium-High, or High. The data shown in the table below is based on 205 days of operation. Based on these data, can ? Test at the 5% level of significance.

Answer:

As the calculated  χ² = 1.23  is less than the critical region  χ²≥ χ²(0.05,9)=  16.92 ,Staples can conclude that demands for these two types of computers are independent  at the 0.05 level of significance.

<u />

Step-by-step explanation:

As we have to test the independence of the two categories the chi square of independence test is applied.

Let the null and alternate hypotheses be

H0 :The demand for each type of computers is independent

against the claim

Ha: The  demand for each type of computers is not independent i.e they are associated.

The significance level alpha is chosen to be 0.05

The critical region for alpha =0.05 and (4-1)(4-1) = 3*3 =9 d.f is

χ²≥ χ²(0.05,9)=  16.92

the function f(x) = 3,005(1+0.03)^x represents the amount of money in a savings account where x represents time in years. what d
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

Option d. the initial amount of money placed in the savings account

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

f(x)=3,005(1+0.03)^{x}

This is a exponential function of the form

f(x)=a(1+r)^{x}

where

a is the initial value

r is the growth rate

(1+r) is the base

x is the number of years

f(x) is the amount of money in a savings account

In this problem we have

a=$3,005

r=0.03=3%

(1+r)=1.03

therefore

3,005 represent the initial value ( the amount of money for the value of x equal to zero)
