Question Continuation

a. Compute the mean measurement for each method.

b. Compute the median measurement for. each method.

c. Compute the 20% trimmed mean measurement for each method.

a. Mean

Mean A = 22.675

Mean B = 20.71875

Mean C = 21.0125

Mean D = 20.86875

b. Median

Median A = 23.45

Median B = 20.45

Median C = 21.0

Median D = 20.7

c. 20% Trimmed Mean

Trimmed Mean A = 23.14

Trimmed Mean B = 20.73

Trimmed Mean C = 21.04

Trimmed Mean D = 20.75

Explanation:

Mean = Σx/n

Where Σx= Summation of entries in each method

n = 16

Mean of Method A = (18.0 + 18.0 +18.0 + 19.0 + 22.0 + 22.0 + 22.5 + 22.9 + 24.0 + 24.0 + 25.0 +25.0 + 25.0 + 25.0 + 26.0 +26.4)/16

Mean A = 362.8/16

Mean A = 22.675

Mean of Method B = (18.8 + 18.9 + 18.9 + 19.8 + 20.1 + 20.4 + 20.4 + 20.4 + 20.6 + 20.5 + 21.2 + 21.9 + 22.0 + 22.0 + 22.0 + 23.6)16

Mean B = 331.5/16

Mean B = 20.71875

Mean of Method C = (20.2 + 20.5 + 20.5 + 20.7 + 20.8 + 20.9 + 21.0 + 21.0 + 21.0 + 21.0 + 21.0 + 21.5 + 21.5 + 21.5 + 21.5 + 21.6)/16

Mean C = 336.2/16

Mean C = 21.0125

Mean of Method D = (20.0 + 20.0 + 20.0 + 20.2 + 20.2 + 20.5 + 20.5 + 20.7 + 20.7 + 20.7 + 21.0 + 21.5 + 21.5 + 21.6 + 22.1 + 22.3)/16

Mean D = 333.9/16

Mean D = 20.86875

Median is the number(s) at the middle

Since the total number of points for each method is 16 and this is an even number we need to calculate the median as the average between the 8th and the 9th position of the data ordered from the smallest to the largest. If we do this we have that:

Method A

Arranged Data: 18.0, 18.0, 18.0, 19.0, 22.0, 22.0, 22.5, 22.9, 24.0, 24.0, 25.0, 25.0, 25.0, 25.0, 26.0, 26.4

The 8th and 9th data are: 22.9 and 24.0

Median = (22.9 + 24.0/2

Median = 46.9/2

Median A = 23.45

Method B

Arranged Data: 18.8, 18.9, 18.9, 19.8, 20.1, 20.4, 20.4, 20.4, 20.5, 20.6, 21.2, 21.9, 22.0, 22.0, 22.0, 23.6

The 8th and 9th data are: 20.4 and 20.5

Median = (20.4+20.5)/2

Median = 40.9/2

Median B = 20.45

Method C

Arranged Data: 20.2, 20.5, 20.5, 20.7, 20.8, 20.9, 21.0, 21.0, 21.0, 21.0, 21.0, 21.5, 21.5, 21.5, 21.5, 21.6

The 8th and 9th data are: 21.0 and 21.0

Median = (21.0 + 21.0)/2

Median = 42.0/2

Median C = 21.0

Method D

Arranged Data: 20.0, 20.0, 20.0, 20.2, 20.2, 20.5, 20.5, 20.7, 20.7, 20.7, 21.0, 21.5, 21.5, 21.6, 22.1, 22.3

The 8th and 9th data are: 20.7 and 20.7

Median = (20.7+20.7)/2

Median = 41.4/2

Median D = 20.7

The trimmed mean by 20% means that we'll calculate mean by removing the 20% from each of the tails.

20% of 16 = 3.2 (Approximated to 3)

So we need to remove 3 observations from both ends of the data.

Method A becomes

19.0, 22.0, 22.0, 22.5, 22.9, 24.0, 24.0, 25.0, 25.0, 25.0

Trimmed Mean A = (19.0+22.0+22.0+22.5+ 22.9+24.0+24.0+25.0+ 25.0+ 25.0)/10

Trimmed Mean A = 231.4/10

Trimmed Mean A = 23.14

Method B becomes

19.8, 20.1, 20.4, 20.4, 20.4, 20.6, 20.5, 21.2, 21.9, 22.0

Trimmed Mean B = (19.8+20.1+20.4+ 20.4+ 20.4+20.6+20.5+21.2+21.9+22.0)/10

Trimmed Mean B = 207.3/10

Trimmed Mean B = 20.73

Method C becomes

20.7, 20.8, 20.9, 21.0, 21.0, 21.0, 21.0, 21.0, 21.5, 21.5

Trimmed Mean C = (20.7+ 20.8+ 20.9+ 21.0+ 21.0+ 21.0+21.0+, 21.0+, 21.5+21.5)/10

Trimmed Mean C = 210.4/10

Trimmed Mean C = 21.04

Method D becomes

20.2, 20.2, 20.5, 20.5, 20.7, 20.7, 20.7, 21.0, 21.5, 21.5

Trimmed Mean D = (20.2+, 20.2+20.5+, 20.5+ 20.7+ 20.7+ 20.7 +, 21.0 +21.5 + 21.5)/10

Trimmed Mean D = 207.5/10

Trimmed Mean D = 20.75

Alandlord rented an art studio to an artist. under the terms of the signed, written, two-year lease, the artist agreed to pay the landlord $1,000 per month and to assume responsibility for all necessary repairs. after the first year of the lease, the artist assigned the balance of his lease to a sculptor. the landlord approved the sculptor as a tenant and accepted two rent payments from her, and then the landlord sold the building to an investor. the sculptor had made two payments to the investor when an electrical fire broke out in the studio, injuring the sculptor. the fire was caused by faulty wiring. the landlord was aware that there was a dangerous wiring problem when he leased the property to the artist. but when the landlord discovered how costly repairs would be, he decided it would be more profitable to sell the property than to repair it. the problem was not easily discoverable by anyone other than an expert electrician, and the landlord did not tell the artist, the sculptor, or the investor about the problem. the sculptor sues to recover damages for her injuries. from whom can the sculptor recover?

Assume that the following conditions exist: a. all banks are fully loaned up- there are no excess reserves, and desired excess reserves are always zero. b. the money multiplier is 5 . c. the planned investment schedule is such that at a 4 percent rate of interest, investment =$1450 billion. at 5 percent, investment is $1420 billion. d. the investment multiplier is 3 . e.. the initial equilibrium level of real gdp is $12 trillion. f. the equilibrium rate of interest is 4 percent now the fed engages in contractionary monetary policy. it sells $1 billion worth of bonds, which reduces the money supply, which in turn raises the market rate of interest by 1 percentage point. calculate the decrease in money supply after fed's sale of bonds: $nothing billion.

Miko willingly admits that she is not an accountant by training. she is concerned that her balance sheet might not be correct. she has provided you with the following additional information. 1. the boat actually belongs to miko, not to skysong, inc.. however, because she thinks she might take customers out on the boat occasionally, she decided to list it as an asset of the company. to be consistent, she also listed as a liability of the corporation her personal loan that she took out at the bank to buy the boat. 2. the inventory was originally purchased for $27,500, but due to a surge in demand miko now thinks she could sell it for $39,600. she thought it would be best to record it at $39,600. 3. included in the accounts receivable balance is $11,000 that miko loaned to her brother 5 years ago. miko included this in the receivables of skysong, inc. so she wouldn’t forget that her brother owes her money. (b) provide a corrected balance sheet for skysong, inc.. (hint: to get the balance sheet to balance, adjust stockholders’ equity.) (list assets in order of liquidity.)
