From public records, individuals were identified as having been charged with drunken driving not less than 6 months or more than 12 months from the starting date of the study. Two random samples from this group were studied. In the first sample of 29 individuals, the respondents were asked in a face-to-face interview if they had been charged with drunken driving in the last 12 months. Of these 29 people interviewed face to face, 12 answered the question accurately. The second random sample consisted of 41people who had been charged with drunken driving. During a telephone interview, 23 of these responded accurately to the question asking if they had been charged with drunken driving during the past 12 months. Assume the samples are representative of all people recently charged with drunken driving.

(a) Categorize the problem below according to parameter being estimated, proportion p, mean μ, difference of means μ₁ – μ₂, or difference of proportions p₁ – p₂. Then solve the problem.

μ₁ – μ₂p     p₁ – p₂μ

(b) Let p₁ represent the population proportion of all people with recent charges of drunken driving who respond accurately to a face-to-face interview asking if they have been charged with drunken driving during the past 12 months. Let p₂ represent the population proportion of all people who respond accurately to the question when it is asked in a telephone interview. Find a 99% confidence interval for p₁ – p₂. (Use 3 decimal places.)

(c) Does the interval found in part (a) contain numbers that are all positive? all negative? mixed? Comment on the meaning of the confidence interval in the context of this problem. At the 99% level, do you detect any differences in the proportion of accurate responses to the question from face-to- face interviews as compared with the proportion of accurate responses from telephone interviews?

Because the interval contains only positive numbers, we can say that there is a higher proportion of accurate responses in face-to-face interviews.Because the interval contains both positive and negative numbers, we can not say that there is a higher proportion of accurate responses in face-to-face interviews.     We can not make any conclusions using this confidence interval.Because the interval contains only negative numbers, we can say that there is a higher proportion of accurate responses in telephone interviews.

Nash Home Improvement Company installs replacement siding, windows, and louvered glass doors for single-family homes and condominium complexes. The company is in the process of preparing its annual financial statements for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2020. Jim Alcide, controller for Nash, has gathered the following data concerning inventory.

At May 31, 2020, the balance in Nash’s Raw Materials Inventory account was $436,560, and Allowance to Reduce Inventory to Market had a credit balance of $29,710. Alcide summarized the relevant inventory cost and market data at May 31, 2020, in the schedule below.

Alcide assigned Patricia Devereaux, an intern from a local college, the task of calculating the amount that should appear on Nash’s May 31, 2020, financial statements for inventory at lower-of-cost-or-market as applied to each item in inventory. Devereaux expressed concern over departing from the historical cost principle. Assume Garcia uses LIFO inventory costing.

(a1) Determine the proper balance in Allowance to Reduce Inventory to Market at May 31, 2020.

(a2) For the fiscal year ended May 31, 2020, determine the amount of the gain or loss that would be recorded due to the change in Allowance to Reduce Inventory to Market.
