a) Construct a histogram for the data and use it to evaluate the validity of the normality assumption.
b) Obtain the mean and standard deviation for the data and use these statistics to evaluate the validity of the normality assumption.
c) Obtain the interquartile rage for the data and use these statistics to evaluate the validity of the normality assumption

Answer:

A) attached below

B) mean value = 67.755,  std = 26.871

C) IQR( interquartile range ) = 37

Explanation:

A) Construct a histogram for the data and use it to evaluate the validity of normality assumption

Using Minitab to construct the Histogram from the shape of the Histogram we can see that the Normality assumption is valid because the shape is fairly symmetric

screenshot of Histogram is attached below

B) Obtain the mean and standard deviation for the data and use these statistics to evaluate the validity of the normality assumption.

still using Minitab to determine the std and mean values

mean value = 67.755,  std = 26.871

Next : find the percentage of the observation that lie within 1,2 and 3 std from the mean

For one(1) std from the mean the interval = ( 40.884, 94.626 )

percentage of observation = 665 / 992 = 67.04

For two(2) std from the mean; The interval = ( 14.013 , 121.497 )

percentage of observation = 946 / 992 = 95.36%

For three(3) std from the mean ; The interval = ( -12.858, 148.368 )

percentage of observations = 991 / 992 = 99.90%

The percentages from the above calculations indicates the validity of the normality assumption

C) Obtain the interquartile rage for the data and use these statistics to evaluate the validity of the normality assumption

using MINITAB

since the data are assumed Normal; Ratio = [tex]\frac{IQR}{S} = 1.3[/tex]

std (s) = 26.871,   IQR( interquartile range ) = 37

Next check if     IQR / S will be = 1.3

= 37 / 26.871 = 1.377 ( This validates the normality assumption )

The Bassos contracted with Dierberg to purchase her property for $1,310,000. One term of the contract stated, "[t]he sale under this contract shall be closed . . . at the office of Community Title Company. . . on May 16, 1988 at 10:00 am. . . . Time is of the essence of this contract." After forming the contract, the Bassos assigned their right to purchase Dierberg’s property to Miceli and Slonim Development Corp. At 10:00 am on May 16, 1988, Dierberg appeared at Community Title for closing. No representative of Miceli and Slonim was there, nor did anyone from Miceli and Slonim inform Dierberg that there would be any delay in the closing. At 10:20 am, Dierberg declared the contract null and void because the closing did not take place as agreed, and she left the title company office shortly thereafter. Dierberg had intended to use the purchase money to close another contract to purchase real estate later in the day. At about 10:30 AM, a representative of Miceli and Slonim appeared at Community Title to begin the closing, but the representative did not have the funds for payment until 1 :30 PM. Dierberg refused to return to the title company, stating that Miceli and Slonim had breached the contract by failing to tender payment on time. She had already made alternative arrangements to finance her purchase of other real estate to meet her obligation under that contract. Miceli and Slonim sued Dierberg, claiming that the contract did not require closing exactly at 10:00 AM, but rather some time on the day of May 16. Will they prevail?

A truck was acquired on July 1, 2018, at a cost of $311,850. The truck had a six-year useful life and an estimated salvage value of $34,650. The straight-line method of depreciation was used. On January 1, 2021, the truck was overhauled at a cost of $28,875, which extended the useful life of the truck for an additional two years beyond that originally estimated (salvage value is still estimated at $34,650). In computing depreciation for annual adjustment purposes, expense is calculated for each month the asset is owned.
