The complete question is as follows:

The admission directory of Big City University has a novel idea. He proposed using the IQ scores of current students as a marketing tool. The university agrees to provide him with enough money to administer IQ tests to 50 students. So the director gives the IQ test to an SRS of 50 of the university’s 5000 freshman. The mean IQ score for the sample is xbar=112. The IQ test he administered is known to have a σ of 15. What is the 95% Confidence Interval about the mean? What can the director say about the mean score of the population of all 5000 freshman?

Answer: The 95% confidence interval about the mean is Confidence interval = 107.84 \leq \mu \leq 116.16.

The director can say that he is 95% confident that the mean IQ score of the 5000 freshmen lies between 107.84 and 116.16.

We follow these steps to arrive at the answer:

Since the population standard deviation of the IQ test is known, we can use the Z scores to find the confidence interval.

The formula for the confidence interval about the mean is:

Confidence interval = \overline{X}\pm Z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

In the equation above, X bar is known as the point estimate and the second term is known as Margin of Error.

The Critical Value of Z at the 95% confidence level is 1.96.

Substituting the values in the question in the equation above we have,

Confidence interval = \112\pm 1.96*\frac{15}{\sqrt{50}}

Confidence interval = \112\pm 4.157787873}

Confidence interval = 107.8422121 \leq \mu \leq 116.1577879

KengaRu [80]

Answer:

Explanation:

The <u>nominal</u> interest rate is quoted by borrowers and lenders-------------

then you <u>can</u> use the APR------------

different compounding periods, then the effective annual rate must------

If a loan or investment uses <u>annual</u> compounding, then the nominal--------

However, if compounding occurs more than once a year, EAR is the effective INOM

Quantitative problem:

Effective annual rate of Bank 2 (assuming its APR is 6%) = (1.015)^4 – 1 = 0.061364

To get the same EAR, Bank 1 should charge per half year 1.061364^(1/2) – 1 = 0.030225

The nominal interest rate (APR)= 0.030225*2 = 0.06045 = 6.05%

Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

D. 7

Explanation:

Based on the information provided within the question it can be said that they need to appoint a total of 7 outside board members to achieve board independence. This is because in order to achieve board independence the board needs to consist of more members that are not employees than those who are. This is because votes need to be made in accordance to what is best for the company and shareholders, which may not always be best for the employees. Therefore when voting the employees may be biased.
