Yamindi was raised on a farm in the Northern Territory. While in
high school, he was an active member of the local rural youth club
and raised several prize animals that he sold at auction at state
and local shows. He saved his earnings and by the time he finished
secondary school, Yamindi had nearly $4,700 in a savings account.
He was undecided whether to go on to tertiary education or use his
savings in a business venture. Because of his love for animals, he
believed he could successfully operate a pet warehouse store and
decided to use the summer months as a trial.
During the month of October 2019, Yamindi located a small building
that he could rent for $100 per month. After transferring $3,700
from his savings account to a business bank account in the name of
Pet Warehouse, he paid cash out of the account for rent and the
purchase of supplies. Although he would not keep a full set of
accounting records, he decided to deposit all receipts from sales
into the bank account and to make all payments by direct debit out
of the account. In this way he would have a relatively complete
record of his business activities. Yamindi also kept a daily work
book in which he recorded all sales to customers.
On 1 November, Yamindi opened his warehouse to the public. During
the first 3 months, he was unusually busy. Early in February he
needed to make a decision on continuing the operation of the
business or to enrol for the first semester at university. To help
him make this important decision, Yamindi reviewed his bank account
and daily sales book to determine how well he had done. The review
disclosed the following.
Question: Prepare an income statement for Yamindi’s Pet Warehouse for the 3-month period from 1 November 2019 to 31 January 2020.
| 1. | Total cash deposited in the account (including the initial $3,700 deposit) was $9,200. | ||
| 2. | The daily work book showed that on 31 January customers owed him $1,090 for goods supplied, which he expected to collect during February. | ||
| 3. | Direct debits had been made out of the account for: | ||
| (a) | Rent payments, $400 for the months of November to February. | ||
| (b) | The purchase of grooming equipment, $4,160. The equipment cost $4,600 and Yamindi still owed the supplier $440 on the purchase. | ||
| (c) | Grooming supplies, $480. Yamindi estimated that the cost of grooming supplies on hand at 31 January was $80. | ||
| (d) | The payment of electricity bills for the months of November and December, $690. He had just received his bill for the month of January for the amount of $345, but had not yet paid it. | ||
| (e) | Advertising paid, $1,197. | ||
| (f) | Withdrawals made by Yamindi to pay for personal expenses, $1,210. | ||

Use RStudio. To test if a middle school class on geography is working, a pre- and post-test were given to students at the start and end of the semester. Assume that the scores were randomly selected from the two tests. Also, assume that that they are pairs of scores for ten students. Use the following data to test if the class improved students’ knowledge of geography. (hint: use “var.equal=TRUE” in your argument)
Scores
Pre-test: 77, 56, 64, 60, 57, 53, 72, 62, 65, 66
Post-test: 88, 74, 83, 68, 58, 50, 76, 64, 74, 60

The mean throwing distance of a football for a Luis, a high school freshman quarterback, is 50 yards, with a standard deviation of three yards. The team coach tells Luis to adjust his grip to get more distance. The coach records the distances for 35 throws. For the 35 throws, Luis’s mean distance was 54 yards. The coach thought the different grip helped Luis throw farther than 50 yards. Conduct a hypothesis test using a preset α = 0.01. Assume the throw distances for footballs are normal.
a. Determine what type of test this is: A, B or C? A) Single population mean with standard deviation known B) Single population mean with standard deviation not known C) Single population proportion
b. Identify the null hypothesis, A, B,C or D? Identify the alternative hypothesis, A, B,C or D ? A) mu greater or equal than 50 B) mu greater than 50 C) mu less or equal than 50 D) mu less than 50
c. Find the p-value to nearest whole number
d. State your conclusion, A, B, or C? A. Can't reject null. There is not sufficient evidence from this sample data to show that Luis’s mean throwing distance is greater than 50 yards. B. Reject null. There is sufficient evidence from this sample data to show that Luis’s mean throwing distance is greater than 50 yards. C. no conclusion

| Cash balance, September 1 (from a summer job) | $7,580 |
| Purchase season football tickets in September | 100 |
| Additional entertainment for each month | 260 |
| Pay fall semester tuition in September | 4,100 |
| Pay rent at the beginning of each month | 370 |
| Pay for food each month | 210 |
| Pay apartment deposit on September 2 (to be returned December 15) | 500 |
| Part-time job earnings each month (net of taxes) | 940 |
a. Prepare a cash budget for September, October, November, and December. Use the minus sign to indicate cash outflows, a decrease in cash or cash payments.

Calculating the Arithmetic Mean of Grouped Frequency Tables
When only grouped data is available, you do not know the individual data values (we only know intervals and interval frequencies); therefore, you cannot compute an exact mean for the data set. What we must do is estimate the actual mean by calculating the mean of a frequency table. A frequency table is a data representation in which grouped data is displayed along with the corresponding frequencies. To calculate the mean from a grouped frequency table we can apply the basic definition of mean: mean = data sum/number of data values.
We simply need to modify the definition to fit within the restrictions of a frequency table.
Since we do not know the individual data values we can instead find the midpoint of each interval.
The midpoint is = (lower boundary + upper boundary)/2.
We can now modify the mean definition to be
Mean of Frequency Table = Σ f m/Σ f
where f = the frequency of the interval and m = the midpoint of the interval.
