Eddie Clauer sells a wide variety of outdoor equipment and clothing. The company sells both through mail order and via the internet. Random samples of sales receipts were studied for mail-order sales and internet sales, with the total purchase being recorded for each sale. A random sample of 14 sales receipts for mail-order sales results in a mean sale amount of $93.90 with a standard deviation of $24.75. A random sample of 8 sales receipts for internet sales results in a mean sale amount of $82.00 with a standard deviation of $21.25. Using this data, find the 99% confidence interval for the true mean difference between the mean amount of mail-order purchases and the mean amount of internet purchases. Assume that the population variances are not equal and that the two populations are normally distributed. Step 1 of 3 :

Find the critical value that should be used in constructing the confidence interval. Round your answer to three decimal places.

Step 2 of 3

Find the Staandard error of the sampling distrbution to be used in constructing the confidence interval

Step 3 of 3

you were to ask to construct the 90% confidence interval, given the following information

Who is better at multi-tasking? in business, employees are often asked to perform a complex task when their atten-tion is divided (i. e., multi-tasking). human factors (may 2014) published a study designed to determine whether video game players are better than non–video game play-ers at multi-tasking. each in a sample of 60 college stu-dents was classified as a video game player or a non-player. participants entered a street crossing simulator and were asked to cross a busy street at an unsigned intersec-tion. the simulator was designed to have cars traveling at various high rates of speed in both directions. during the crossing, the students also performed a memory task as a distraction. two variables were measured for each student: (1) a street crossing performance score (measured out of 100 points) and (2) a memory task score (measured out of 20 points). the researchers found no differences in either the street crossing performance or memory task score of video game players and non-gamers. “these results,” say the researchers, “suggest that action video game players [and non-gamers] are equally susceptible to the costs of dividing attention in a complex task”

On december 31, 2013, coronado company issues 173,000 stock-appreciation rights to its officers entitling them to receive cash for the difference between the market price of its stock and a pre-established price of $10. the fair value of the sars is estimated to be $5 per sar on december 31, 2014; $2 on december 31, 2015; $10 on december 31, 2016; and $8 on december 31, 2017. the service period is 4 years, and the exercise period is 7 years. prepare a schedule that shows the amount of compensation expense allocable to each year affected by the stock-appreciation rights plan.
