Question Continuation

a. What is a subject in this study?

b. What is the explanatory variable and what type of variable is it?

c. Which type of test is most appropriate?

Answer:

See Explanation Below

Explanation:

a.

In research, a subject can be referred to as a person, place, thing, or phenomenon that is being measured of observed. In the question above, the observation is focused on the area of cacti/km² plot of land near Tucson, AZ; hence, it'll be taken as the research subject.

b. Explanatory variables are those variables that are not totally independent and are used to predict or explain differences in the response variable.

Having pointed what an explanatory variable is, we'll list the explanatory variable(s) in the question, using the definition above.

1. Year;

The question compares the growth of cacti per km² in 1970 and 2001. The differences in the growth are then measured in order to determine if there's indeed a growth or a decline in growth of cacti.

Hence, year is an explanatory variable and it's numerical

2. Using the same yardstick, another explanatory variable in the question above is the average number of cacti per km².

It is considered an explanatory variable because it represent the numerical value of cacti present in a km² area.

It is also numerical

c.

The most appropriate type of test in this kind of observation is the independent sample t test.

An Independent Samples t Test takes into consideration the means or averages of two independent groups and then make makes comparison between them in order to determine whether there is statistical evidence that the associated population means are significantly different.

The question compares the average of cactus in 1970 and 2001.

The keyword here is average and that is what is being described by the independent sample t test. I.e. the average of cactus per km² in both years.

Spartan systems reported total sales of $430,000, at a price of $25 and per unit variable expenses of $16, for the sales of thei
jek_recluse [69]

We are told the company had total sales of $430,000 and sold each product for $25. We can conclude that they sold 17,200 units of their product by dividing 430000 by 25.

As we are selling a single product in the problem's text, and because we told both per-unit contribution margin and net operating income, we have enough information to build a contribution based income statement. In a contribution based (or internal) statement, Revenue - Total Variable Expenses = Contribution Margin and Contribution Margin - Total Fixed Expenses = Operating Income.

$430,000 Total Sales Revenue

<u>(275,200) Total Variable Expenses</u>

$154,800 Total Contribution Margin

<u>(113,000) Total Fixed Expenses</u>

$41,800 Net Income

Think of our above statement as the BEFORE. Now we are going to make the AFTER and increase the volume. Since the selling price is $25 and we sold 17,200 units, we multiply 17,200 times 20% to find the new units sold. 17200 * 20% is 3440 units. We add that to the 17.200 units to find our new sales volume, which is 20,640 units. Since each product sells for $25 each, we can calculate our new contribution margin.

$516,000 Sales Revenue AFTER 20% increase

<u>(330,240) Variable Expenses AFTER 20 % increase; 16 * 20640</u>

$185,760 Contribution Margin AFTER 20% increase


Thus the new contribution margin is $185,760.
