Business bankruptcies in Canada are monitored by the Office of the Superintendent of Bankruptcy Canada (OSB).8 Included in each report are the assets and liabilities the company declared at the time of the bankruptcy filing. A study is based on a random sample of 75 reports from the current year. The average debt (liabilities minus assets) is $92,172 with a standard deviation of $111,538.
a) Construct a 95% one-sample t confidence interval for the average debt of these companies at the time of filing.
b) Because the sample standard deviation is larger than the sample mean, this debt distribution is skewed. Provide a defense for using the tconfidence interval in this case.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) 70,663.57< [tex]\overline x[/tex] < 113,680.43

b) The sampling distribution of the means is expected to be approximately normal given that n > 30

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameter of the study are;

The number of reports in the study, n = 75 reports

The average debt, [tex]\overline x[/tex] = $92,172

The standard deviation, Sₓ = $111,538

a) A one-sample t confidence interval is given as follows;

The Degrees of Freedom, df = n - 1 = 75 - 1 = 74

[tex]C.I, = \overline x \pm t^* \cdot \dfrac{S_x}{\sqrt{n} }[/tex]

[tex]t^*[/tex] = The critical t, at 95% confidence level = 1.67

Therefore, we have;

[tex]C.I, = 92,172 \pm 1.67 \cdot \dfrac{111,538}{\sqrt{75} }[/tex]

Therefore, we have;

[tex]C.I, = 92,172 \pm 1.67 \cdot \dfrac{111,538}{\sqrt{75} }[/tex]

C.I. = (92,172 ± 21,508.43)

Therefore, the 95% one-sample t confidence interval for the average debt of the companies at the time of filing, C.I. = 70,663.57< [tex]\overline x[/tex] < 113,680.43

b) The defense for using the t confidence interval in the question is supported that the fact that the sample size is larger than 30 (n = 75) the sampling distribution of means will be approximately normal and the population mean will be between the confidence interval for the mean.

Upon studying low bids for shipping contracts, a microcomputer manufacturing company finds that intrastate contracts have low bids that are uniformly distributed between 23 and 29, in units of thousands of dollars. (a) Find the probability that the low bid on the next intrastate shipping contract is below $25,000. (Round your answer to four decimal places.) (b) Find the probability that the low bid on the next intrastate shipping contract is in excess of $28,000. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

Answers

Answer:

a) 0.3333 = 33.33% probability that the low bid on the next intrastate shipping contract is below $25,000.

b) 0.1667 = 16.67% probability that the low bid on the next intrastate shipping contract is in excess of $28,000.

Step-by-step explanation:

A distribution is called uniform if each outcome has the same probability of happening.

The uniform distribution has two bounds, a and b.

The probability of finding a value lower than x is given by:

[tex]P(X < x) = \frac{x - a}{b - a}[/tex]

The probability of finding a value higher than x is given by:

[tex]P(X > x) = \frac{b - x}{b - a}[/tex]

Uniformly distributed between 23 and 29

This means that [tex]a = 23, b = 29[/tex]

(a) Find the probability that the low bid on the next intrastate shipping contract is below $25,000.

[tex]P(X < 25) = \frac{25 - 23}{29 - 23} = 0.3333[/tex]

0.3333 = 33.33% probability that the low bid on the next intrastate shipping contract is below $25,000.

(b) Find the probability that the low bid on the next intrastate shipping contract is in excess of $28,000.

[tex]P(X > 28) = \frac{29 - 28}{29 - 23} = 0.1667[/tex]

0.1667 = 16.67% probability that the low bid on the next intrastate shipping contract is in excess of $28,000.

Answer:

The expanded and simplified form of [tex](2x^3 + 4x^5)^2[/tex] is  [tex]4x^6 + 16x^8 + 16x^10[/tex].

when we combine all the like terms.

To expand and combine like terms for the expression [tex](2x^3 + 4x^5)^2,[/tex] we need to square each term inside the parentheses and then combine like terms.

Using the FOIL method (First, Outer, Inner, Last) to multiply the terms, we have:

[tex](2x^3 + 4x^5)^2 = (2x^3)^2 + 2(2x^3)(4x^5) + (4x^5)^2[/tex]

Simplifying each term:

[tex](2x^3)^2 = 4x^6\\2(2x^3)(4x^5) = 16x^8\\(4x^5)^2 = 16x^10[/tex]

Combining like terms, we have:

[tex](2x^3 + 4x^5)^2 = 4x^6 + 16x^8 + 16x^10[/tex]

Therefore, the expanded and simplified form of [tex](2x^3 + 4x^5)^2[/tex] is [tex]4x^6 + 16x^8 + 16x^10.[/tex]

Find the slope by using the slope formula. (It's hard to format here so look it up)

Basically, it is y2 - y1/x2 - x1

-5 - 1/ 0 + 8

-6/8 = -3/4

The slope is -3/4.

Plug in for y = mx + b

y (y coordinate) = -5

x (x coordinate) = 0

slope (m) = -3/4

-5 = -3/4(0) + b

-5 = 0 + b

b = -5

A right rectangular prism has a volume of 3536 cubic feet, and the length 8 of the base of the prism is 9 feet longer than its width. The height of prism is 26 feet. What are the dimensions of the base of the prism?

Answers

Answer:

Base = 8 * 17

Step-by-step explanation:

(Not sure what the "8" is, assuming an accidental input.)

Base area = 3536/26 = 136

136 = Lw

L = 136/w

L = w + 9

136/w = w + 9

136 = w(w + 9)

136 = w² + 9w

w² + 9w - 136

(w + 17)(w - 8)

Only use the positive result. w = 8

L = 8 + 9 = 17

Edit: Maybe 8 is the answer accidentally included in the question?...

But the best part is that it brings the community closer together. People get to see and talk to their neighbors, and they often make new friends.
