Answer/Explanation:
Statistics educators often talk about their desired learning goals for students, and invariably, refer to outcomes such as being statistically literate, thinking statistically, and using good statistical reasoning. Despite the frequent reference to these outcomes and terms, there have been no agreed upon definitions or distinctions. Therefore, the following definitions were proposed by Garfield (2005 and have been elaborated in Garfield and Ben-Zvi (2008).
Statistical literacy is regarded as a key ability expected of citizens in information-laden societies, and is often touted as an expected outcome of schooling and as a necessary component of adults’ numeracy and literacy. Statistical literacy involves understanding and using the basic language and tools of statistics: knowing what basic statistical terms mean, understanding the use of simple statistical symbols, and recognizing and being able to interpret different representations of data (Garfield 1999; Rumsey 2002; Snell 1999)
Answer:
present value = $848.29
so correct option is c) $848
Explanation:
given data
bond sold = $100 million
time = 6 year
future value = $1,000 par value
original maturity = 20 years
years to maturity left = 14 years
annual coupon rate = 11.5%
require return = 14%
to find out
what price would you pay today for a James bond
solution
we get here first interest amount that is
interest = future value × annual coupon rate × 0.5
interest = 1000 × 11.5% × 0.5
interest = $57.50
and rate = 
rate = 7%
now we find present value by
PV(Rate,nper, pmt, FV)
PV ( 7%, 28, 57.50,1000)
present value = $848.29
so correct option is c) $848
Answer:
There is no balanced budget provision in the U.S. Constitution, so the federal government is not required to have a balanced budget and Congress usually does not pass one. Several proposed amendments to the U.S. Constitution would require a balanced budget, but none have been enacted.
