A recent national survey found that high school students watched an average (mean) of 6.8 DVDs per month with a population stand

ard deviation of 1.8 DVDs. The distribution of DVDs watched per month follows the normal distribution. A random sample of 36 college students revealed that the mean number of DVDs watched last month was 6.2. At the .05 significance level, can we conclude that college students watch fewer DVDs a month than high school students?

Answer:

A)Null hypothesis; μ ≥ 6.8

Alternative hypothesis; μ < 6.8

B) The decision rule is that we reject the null hypothesis for all z-scores less than - 1.65

C)test statistic: z = -2

D) We reject Null hypothesis H0.

E) P-value ≈ 0.0228

Explanation:

We are given;

Sample size; n = 36

Population mean; μ = 6.8

Sample mean; x¯ = 6.2

Standard deviation; σ = 1.8

A) Let's state the hypotheses;

Null hypothesis; μ ≥ 6.8

Alternative hypothesis; μ < 6.8

B) The significance level is 0.05.

Let us find out the z-score that corresponds to a probability of 1 - 0.5 - 0.05 = 0.45 in the normal probability table attached.

From the table attached, we can that the corresponding z-score is approximately 1.6 + 0.05 = 1.65

The alternative hypothesis contains less than symbol which means this test is left tailed.

Thus, the rejection region includes all z-scores that are smaller than -1.65. Which means we reject the null hypothesis for all z-scores less than - 1.65

C) Formula for the test statistic is;

z = (x¯ - μ)/(σ/√n)

z = (6.2 - 6.8)/(1.8/√36)

z = -0.6/0.3

z = -2

D) The test statistic gotten is z = -2

This is less than the z-score for the rejection the rejection region is answer B above.

Thus, we reject the null hypothesis.

E) from online p-value from z-score calculator attached , using; z = -2; significance value = 0.05, one tailed hypothesis, we have;

P-value = 0.02275

To 4 decimal places gives;

P-value ≈ 0.0228

<h3>Give a brief account on Marketing.</h3>

Marketing is the process of discovering, developing, and delivering value to meet the needs of a target market in terms of products and services. Choosing a target market, selecting specific traits or themes to highlight in advertising, executing marketing campaigns, attending trade shows and open events, creating products and packaging that appeal to consumers, and defining the terms of sale, such as the purchase price, discounts, warranties, and return policies are other possible steps. Usually, the seller, who is usually a manufacturer or merchant, handles the marketing.

The occasional hiring of a specialized marketing firm or advertising agency may be necessary. Less frequently, a trade association or government agency (like the Agricultural Marketing Service) will market an entire sector or location, frequently a single food item (like Got Milk? ), food from a specific area.

b. Inside salespersons generally focus on taking orders and following up, whereas outside salespersons are more consultative. Hence, option (d) is the relevant option.

Assuming that Borland retires shares it reacquires, record the appropriate journal entry for each of the following transactions:
KiRa [710]

Answer:

The first transaction is that 10 million shares are being reacquired at 32.50 per share so we need to find out how much cash is spent to buy these shares.

32.5*10 million = $325 million

We will debit treasury stock and credit cash because the company is buying shares from the market and paying cash

The second transaction is reacquiring 10 million shares at 36 per share so we need to find how much cash is spent

10 million *36= $360 million

We will debit treasury stock and credit cash because the company is buying shares from the market and paying cash

In the third transaction 1 million shares are being sold for 42, so need to figure out how much cash the company gets from the transaction

42* 1 million = 42 million

We will debit cash and credit common stock as the company is issuing shares to the market and getting cash for it

In the fourth transaction 1 million shares are being sold for 36, so need to figure out how much cash the company gets from the transaction

36* 1 million = 36 million

We will debit cash and credit common stock as the company is issuing shares to the market and getting cash for it
