Explanation & Answer
First, calculate the critical Z-value for the 85% confidence interval:
Z_crit = Norm.inv ( 0.925, 0, 1 ) = 1.44
The standard error for our sample will be given by sigma/sqrt(n) = 9.3/sqrt(397) = 0.467
So, the confidence interval is given by Mean +/- Z_crit x Standard error
= 18.2 +/- 1.44 x 0.467
= 17.5 (lower) and 18.9 (upper)

Scatter Diagram Analysis
The regional sales manager for American Toys, Inc., recently collected data on weekly sales (in dollars) for the 15 stores in his region. He also collected data on the number of salesclerk work hours during the week for each of the stores. The data are as follows:
StoreSalesHours123,300120225,600135319,20096410,211102519,330240635,789190712,540108843,150234927,8861401054,1563001134,0802541225,9001801336,4002701425,7601751531,500256
Use Excel to develop a scatter diagram of the data, including dependent and independent variables on their correct axis.
In a Word document, analyze the relationship between sales and number of clerk hours worked.
Conclude, based on the scatter diagram, what adjustments the sales manager might make to address the relationship between sales and number of clerk hours worked.

Central Limit Theorem and use Principles of the Normal Distribution Paper
Use the link in the Jupyter Notebook activity to access your Python script. Once you have made your calculations, complete this discussion. The script will output answers to the questions given below. You must attach your Python script output as an HTML file and respond to the questions below.In this discussion, you will apply the central limit theorem and use principles of the Normal distribution to calculate probabilities. You will demonstrate two key parts of the central limit theorem:The distribution of sample means is approximately Normally distributed (bell-shaped) as the sample size increases and we repeatedly draw these samples, regardless of the shape of the population distribution from which the samples are drawn.The average of all sample means is equal to the population mean. In practice, the average of all sample means will closely approximate the population mean.You will generate a population data set representing total precipitation (TPCP) in tenths of a millimeter using Python’s numpy module. The distribution of this data set will be skewed. This data set will be unique to each student, and therefore the answers will be unique as well. Run Step 1 in the Python script to generate your unique population data.In your initial post, address the following items:In the Python script, you created a histogram for the dataset generated in Step 1. Check to make sure that this data distribution is skewed and included in your attachment. See Step 2 in the Python script.What is the mean of the TPCP population data? See Step 3 in the Python script.In the Python script, you selected a random sample with replacement, of size 50 (note that this is a sufficiently large sample), from the TPCP population. What is the mean of your random sample? Does this sample mean closely approximate the TPCP population mean? See Step 4 in the Python script.You also selected 1,000 random samples of size 50 and calculated the mean of each sample. Then you stored those means into a dataframe. Check to make sure the output of this step is in your attachment. See Step 5 in the Python script.Review the plotted data distribution for these 1,000 means. Does this approximate a Normal distribution? Does this confirm the first part of the central limit theorem? Why or why not? See Step 6 in the Python script.What is the “grand” mean and standard deviation of these 1,000 means? Does the grand mean closely approximate (on a relative basis) the mean of the original distribution? Does this confirm the second part of the central limit theorem? Why or why not? See Step 7 in the Python script.Recall that your distribution of 1,000 means is Normally distributed even though the population distribution was skewed and the grand mean closely approximates the population mean. In your follow-up posts to other students, review your peers' results and provide some analysis and interpretation.Is their population distribution skewed? Is their distribution of 1,000 sample means approximately Normally distributed? Does this confirm the first part of the central limit theorem? Why or why not?Does their grand mean closely approximate their population mean? Does this confirm the second part of the central limit theorem? Why or why not?Based on this discussion activity, what have you learned about the central limit theorem?Remember to attach your Python output and respond to all questions in your initial and follow-up posts. Be sure to clearly communicate your ideas using appropriate terminology. Finally, be sure to review the Discussion Rubric to understand how you will be graded on this assignment.

Exercise 26
Exercise 261. Plot the frequency distribution for “Age at Enrollment” by hand or by using SPSS. 2. How would you characterize the skewness of the distribution in Question 1—positively skewed, negatively skewed, or approximately normal? Provide a rationale for your answer. 3. Compare the original skewness statistic and Shapiro-Wilk statistic with those of the smaller dataset ( n = 15) for the variable “Age at First Arrest.” How did the statistics change, and how would you explain these differences? 4. Plot the frequency distribution for “Years of Education” by hand or by using SPSS. 5. How would you characterize the kurtosis of the distribution in Question 4—leptokurtic, mesokur-tic, or platykurtic? Provide a rationale for your answer. 6. What is the skewness statistic for “Age at Enrollment”? How would you characterize the magnitude of the skewness statistic for “Age at Enrollment”? 7. What is the kurtosis statistic for “Years of Education”? How would you characterize the magnitude of the kurtosis statistic for “Years of Education”? 8. Using SPSS, compute the Shapiro-Wilk statistic for “Number of Times Fired from Job.” What would you conclude from the results? 9. In the SPSS output table titled “Tests of Normality,” the Shapiro-Wilk statistic is reported along with the Kolmogorov-Smirnov statistic. Why is the Kolmogorov-Smirnov statistic inappropriate to report for these example data? 10. How would you explain the skewness statistic for a particular frequency distribution being low and the Shapiro-Wilk statistic still being significant at p < 0.05?

ACC 201 SNHU Accounting Data Entry Worksheet
n Milestone One, you completed the first part of your course project to demonstrate your ability to accurately record financial data. In Milestone Two, you will use your journal entries from Milestone One to continue working through the next stages of the accounting cycle in preparation for creating financial statements in Module Seven.ScenarioYou are a certified public accountant (CPA) who is working with a small bakery to prepare their financial statements for three months of the current fiscal year. Because the company is a startup and so small, the accounting is done manually in Microsoft Excel. You have been given the accounts and information you need to prepare their financial statements, but you will need to use the accounting cycle to report accurate information to the finance department.PromptAccrual Basis: In your company accounting workbook, apply the accrual basis of accounting and prepare adjusting entries to ensure accurate accounting for expenses that lack transactions in the current period. (You may refer to the Company Accounting Workbook Template Spreadsheet if necessary, but keep in mind that your work for this milestone should be added to the work you completed in your workbook for the previous milestone.)Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria:Unadjusted Trial Balance: Prepare the unadjusted trial balance portion of the “Trial Balance” tab of the company accounting workbook, ensuring that the total debits and credits match.Adjusting Entries: Prepare the “Adjusting Entries” tab of the company accounting workbook. Ensure that the entries are correctly transferred to the adjusting entries portion of the “Trial Balance” tab.Adjusted Trial Balance: Prepare the adjusted trial balance on the “Trial Balance” tab, ensuring that the debit and credit totals match.Guidelines for SubmissionBuild on your work from Milestone One to complete the “Trial Balance” and “Adjusting Entries” tabs in your company accounting workbook. This should be completed and submitted using Microsoft Excel. Please note that there are drop-down menus embedded in the “Accounts” columns as well as formulas throughout the spreadsheet to help you complete the workbook without accidentally introducing errors.
