1 answer:

a. The point estimate of the married people that sleep well is = 0.6299. The confidence interval for the mean hours of sleep for those that have never been married but report good sleep is 0.6186, 0.6412

b. The point estimate of the number of hours for people that have never been married = 7.2257

95% confidence interval for the mean number of hours of sleep for those who have never been married = 7.2065, 7.2447

c. the estimated number of sleep for those that have never been married = 7.729 hours

a. The point estimate

$P=\frac{Xp}{n}$

$Xp = successes\\n = sample size\\$

Those who have never been married n = 7044

Xp = those who sleep for 7 hours at least

To get Xp, the excel function

Countif(range, criteria)

Countif(A:A, >=7)

This gives Xp = 4437

Point estimate =

$\frac{4477}{7044}$

= 0.6299

The point estimate of the married people that sleep well is = 0.6299

At 95% interval of confidence,

α = 1-0.95 = 0.05

α/2 = 0.05/2 = 0.025

Z0.025 = 1.96 ( Use the standard probability normal table)

Margin of Error

= $M.E = 1.96\sqrt \frac{0.6299(1-0.6299)}{7044} \\\\= 1.96\sqrt{0.000033} \\\\1.96*0.0057$

= 0.0113

The 95% confidence interval

= 0.6299 - 0.0113 , 0.6299 + 0.0113

= 0.6186, 0.6412

The confidence interval for the mean hours of sleep for those that have never been married is 0.6186, 0.6412

b. Sample mean

x = ∑x/n

x = number of sleep of the never been married

Mean is calculated using excel function

Average(range)

Average(a:a)

This gives the sample mean = 7.2257

The point estimate of the number of hours for people that have never been married = 7.2257

Standard deviation using excel =

Stdev(A:A) = 0.8211

$Margin of error =1.96*\frac{0.8211}{\sqrt{7044} }$

= 0.0192

The confidence interval =

= 7.2257-0.0192, 7.2257+0.0192

= 7.2065, 7.2447

95% confidence interval for the mean number of hours of sleep for those who have never been married = 7.2065, 7.2447

c. From the available data, the mean number of sleep per day that is gotten from the 4437 people that are unmarried and sleep healthily for at least 7 hours = 34295.1

Mean = 34295.1/4437

= 7.729

the estimated number of sleep for those that have never been married = 7.729 hours

Arada [10]

It's incorrect to say competitive strategy- because LVMH is not a business. LVMH doesnt compete with anyone because it is a conglomerate of decentralized brands. Each brand has its own DNA/story/value proposition and its own competitors and unique business strategies.

Having said that, LVMH's 'corporate' strategy is to hold a portfolio of the most cherished, coveted luxury brands and add value through its specialized resources - sourcing, its supply chain management, brand management and talent.

Explanation:

Once basic research has been performed, and has landed results that are relevant to an organization, the same organization can run applied research in order to find, from the basic research results, useful applications that can be put in the market.

For example, in the pharmaceutical sector, basic research in pure biology is often turned into practical application (new medications) through applied research within the pharmaceutical companies.

asambeis [7]

Answer:

d. 667.26 Favorable

Explanation:

Direct materials quantity variance = (Standard quantity allowed - Actual Quantity Used) * Standard Price of a unit of direct material

Direct materials quantity variance = (11*1,021 - 11,568) * $1.98

Direct materials quantity variance = (11,231 - 11,568) * $1.98

Direct materials quantity variance = 337 * $1.98

Direct materials quantity variance = $667.26 Favorable
