You are interested in finding a 98% confidence interval for the average commute that non-residential students have to their college. The data below show the number of commute miles for 10 randomly selected non-residential college students. Round answers to 3 decimal places where possible.

a. To compute the confidence interval use a

distribution.

b. With 98% confidence the population mean commute for non-residential college students is between and miles.

c. If many groups of 10 randomly selected non-residential college students are surveyed, then a different confidence interval would be produced from each group. About percent of these confidence intervals will contain the true population mean number of commute miles and about percent will not contain the true population mean number of commute miles.

1 ) If a flight is on time 90% of the time, use a normal approximation to the binomial to find the probability that between 175 and 190 out of a total of 200 flights will be on time.

2)- In a study done by Statistics Weekly, they found that 12% of people believe that there will eventually be a zombie apocalypse. Suppose we have a random sample of 500, would it be unusual to find 43 people who believe that there will eventually be a zombie apocalypse. Would it be unusual to find 70 people who believe that there will eventually be a zombie apocalypse?

3-)  The age at the time of marriage was obtained for a random sample of 10 women. The results were 28, 24, 22, 25, 33, 35, 27, 26, 27, 20. Assume that the population has a normal distribution. Find a 90% confidence interval for the mean age at which a woman marries. Interpret your answer.

in detail, please

1. suppose you the fisher men want to use mosquito fish that are greater than 29 mm for bait, otherwise it is not worth using this lake to harvest bait fish.

a. do a z test in r and use library (desctools) to call it up. find the p value turn in the script.

Carrington would invest in software and some hardware upgrades that will allow them to better analyze the traffic coming in to their website. Total acquisition costs for this option are estimated to be $400,000. This improved analytics capability is expected to lead to increased revenue of $80,000 in year 1, $120,000 in year 2, $250,000 in year 3, $350,000 in year 4, and $500,000 in year 5. The estimated cost of this obtaining this revenue will be 20% per revenue dollar related to sales staff that will analyze this data and use it to generate new client relationships. Carrington will also incur fixed cost of $10,000 per year related to software updates and hardware maintenance. Carrington will set aside $250,000 in working capital for this project and this capital will be recovered at the end of 5 yrs. The salvage value of the new equipment will be $9,000 at the end of 5 yrs. Carrington uses a 10% hurdle rate to evaluate all projects, Acquisition costs qualify for modified accelerated depreciation of 50,30, and 20% in the first three yrs, Being profitable company income would be taxed at Carrington's tax rate of 30%, and all dollar values referenced in this case are in nominal dollars so for analysis ignore the effect of inflation.

1. Calculate the payback period, internal rate of return, and NPV.

2. The data analytics program pays off a lot faster than expected. Revenue is projected to be $200,000 in yr 1, $250,000 in yr 2, $250,000 in yr 3, $300,000 in yr4, and $300,000 in yr 5.

3.A great tax plan. Congress is proposing a new corporate tax plan that reduces the federal tax rate that Carrington pays from 30% to 20%. However, this tax plan would also do away with MACRS and replace it with straight line depreciation for tax purposes ( over 5 yrs).

a. Using the original estimates for your designated option, estimate the effect of this tax plan on NPV.

b. Next, given the uncertainty related to the effect of the proposed tax plan on future business, use a 14% hurdle rate instead of the 10% hurdle rate used before in estimating the effect of the plan (i.e just redo 4A).

4. What are some qualitative concerns related to accepting this designated option. Discuss and list at least 2. Provide why each would be considered an advantage or disadvantage.

System Architecture

Passing Lane is a small trucking company headquartered in Portland, Oregon. Passing Lane’s information system consists of a file server and three workstations where freight clerks enter data, track shipments, and prepare freight bills. To perform their work, the clerks obtain data from the server and use database and spreadsheet programs stored on stand-alone PCs to process the data. At your meeting yesterday, Passing lane’s president approved your recommendation to create a relational database to handle operations and provide links for the company’s shippers and customers.

Tasks

1. What would be the advantages of selecting an Internet-based architecture for Passing Lane’s system?

2.  Since the firm is growing rapidly, what design features should be included in the new system to ensure it can grow with the company.

3.  Given that Passing Lane currently uses computers for managing their operations, what design considerations should be given to legacy systems? Explain your answer.

Exercise 10-14 Sunland Inc. has decided to purchase equipment from Central Michigan Industries on January 2, 2017, to expand its production capacity to meet customers’ demand for its product. Sunland issues a(n) $880,000, 5-year, zero-interest-bearing note to Central Michigan for the new equipment when the prevailing market rate of interest for obligations of this nature is 11%. The company will pay off the note in five $176,000 installments due at the end of each year over the life of the note.

1.Prepare the journal entry at the date of purchase.

2.Prepare the journal entry at the end of the first year to record the payment and interest, assuming that the company employs the effective-interest method.

3.Prepare the journal entry at the end of the second year to record the payment and interest.

4.Assuming that the equipment had a 10-year life and no salvage value, prepare the journal entry necessary to record depreciation in the first year. (Straight-line depreciation is employed.)
