Not sure about question f-j . looking to confirm my answers with someone

Health spending per person from a random sample of 20 countries is shown below.

1. Create a histogram by hand for the frequencies of the per capita health expenditure data.
2. What feature or features of this distribution indicate that the data are likely not from a population having a normal distribution?
3. What features of this distribution make it a good candidate to try a log transformation?
4. Calculate the natural log transformation for each data point of the sample. Create a new histogram with this transformed data, by hand.
5. What is the sample size?
6. What is the mean of the log health expenditure?
7. What is the standard deviation of the mean log health expenditure?
8. Calculate the standard error of the mean log health expenditure.
1. Calculate the 95% confidence interval for the mean log health expenditure and interpret it in full sentences.
10. What are the 95% confidence intervals on the non-log scale? Convert back the two values in your confidence interval.

How do you calcuate the Fixed Overhead (FOH) spending variance and the Fixed Overhead (FOH) production volume variance given the following information:

Exercise 9-13 Revenue and Spending Variances [LO9-3]

Lavage Rapide is a Canadian company that owns and operates a large automatic car wash facility near Montreal. The following table provides data concerning the company’s costs:

For example, electricity costs are $1,000 per month plus $0.09 per car washed. The company expects to wash 8,500 cars in August and to collect an average of $6.10 per car washed.

The actual operating results for August are as follows:

Required:

Calculate the company's revenue and spending variances for August. (Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance). Input all amounts as positive values.)

Question 1 a. After completing its capital spending for the year, HSU Manufacturing has $1,000 extra cash. HSU’s managers must choose between investing the cash in Treasury bonds that yield 8% or paying the cash out to investors who would invest in the bonds themselves. i. If the corporate tax rate is 35%, what personal tax rate would make the investors equally willing to receive the dividend or to let HSU invest the money? ii. Is the answer to part i) reasonable? Explain. b. The desire for high current income is a valid explanation of preference for high current dividend policy. Comment on the validity of this statement.

Confidence intervals, effect sizes, and Valentine’s Day spending: According to the Nielsen Company, Americans spend $345 million on chocolate during the week of Valentine’s Day. Let’s assume that we know the average married person spends $45, with a population standard deviation of $16. In February 2009, the U.S. economy was in the throes of a recession. Comparing data for Valentine’s Day spending in 2009 with what is generally expected might give us some indication of the attitudes during the recession. a. Compute the 95% confidence interval for a sample of 18 married people who spent an average of $38. b. How does the 95% confidence interval change if the sample mean is based on 180 people? c. If you were testing a hypothesis that things had changed under the financial circumstances of 2009 as compared to previous years, what conclusion would you draw in part (a) versus part (b)? d. Compute the effect size based on these data and describe the size of the effect.
