Answer:

Explanation:

(a). By plotting the data on an Excel spreadsheet, the uploaded image below represents our findings

(b) The sample correlation coefficient is calculated using the Excel Correlation function as follows;

Admission Rate (%) 4-Year Graduation Rate (%)

 44      73

 71      62

 29      89

 39      86

 66      55

 28      73

 54      63

 10      88

 26      84

 43      77

 76      71

 67      68

 6      86

 66      59

 81      66

 18       88

 31       71

 9       84

 15       86  

 8        88

 17        84

 56         62

 51         79  

 54         68

 75         50

 13         86

 40          70

 67          68

 41          47

 68          71

∴ The calculated value of the sample correlation coefficient is = -0.76

This indicates that the two variables exhibit a moderately linear inverse correlation.

Cheers, I hope this is useful.

A soft drink costs 75 cents for a 12-oz can. A two-liter bottle costs $1.25. In which form is the soft drink more expensive? How
soldi70 [3635]

Answer:

The soft drink costs more when purchased in a can.

The can is $0.044 more per ounce than the bottle.

Explanation:

From the information in the question:

Price for a 12-oz can = 75 cents = $0.75

Price for a 2-liter bottle = $1.25

To find the cost per ounce for the can = $0.75 divided by 12

= $0.0625 per ounce

For the bottle:

Total ounces contained = 2 × 1.057 × 32 oz [As 1.0 L = 1.057 qt, 1 qt = 32 oz]

= 67.648 oz

Thus,

Cost per ounce for the bottle = $1.25 divided by 67.648 oz

= $0.0185 per ounce

Consequently,

The soft drink costs more in a can.

Price difference = $0.0625 per ounce - $0.0185 per ounce

= $0.044 per ounce

Therefore,

The can is $0.044 more expensive than the bottle.

A movie studio has some costs it incurs even if it produces no movies at all in a given year. Think of these as the costs of hav
Katen [3525]

Explanation:

Part 1: True, the information given about the total costs incurred by the movie studio from last year shows that after the adjustments for the differences in totals

3rd movie cost - 2nd = 132-84 = 48 million

Thus, the variable costs must be at least $47 million but less than $255 million as well.

Part 2:  False, the marginal cost for producing the first movie was $45 million, while the studio produced three films during that period.

In conclusion, the variable costs for all three films last year were

45 x 3 = 135 million

A company has retained earnings of $94,000 as of December 31, 2014. The Pro-forma income statement projects net income of $22,00
marusya05 [3725]

Answer:

$46,000.

Explanation:

To determine the retained earnings as of the end of 2015, we must first assess the total dividend that will be distributed to shareholders, and then combine the net income from 2015 with the leftover retained earnings from the conclusion of 2014 (after the distribution of 2014's dividend in March 2015) to arrive at the retained earnings figure for the close of 2015.

Total dividend on March 2015 = 0.7 x 100,000 = 70,000

Retained Earnings as of the end of 2015 = 94,000 - 70,000 + 22,000 = 46,000.
