1. Total spending in the US on lotteries in 2017 was about $75 billion. Given a US Population of 325
million of which 23% are under age 18, and the fact that about half of American adults play the
lottery in any given year, about how much does the average American spend on lotteries each
year?

Answers

Answer 1

Based on the statistics, an average American spends $299.7 on lotteries each year

How to determine the amount an American spend on lotteries?

The population is given as:

Population = 325 million

23% are under the age of 18.

This means that this category is not eligible to play lotteries.

The eligible population is:

Eligible = (1 - 23%) * 325 million

Evaluate

Eligible = 250.25 million

The total amount is given as:

Total = $75 billion

So, the amount spent by each is:

Amount = Total/Eligible

This gives

Amount = $75 billion/250.25 million

Evaluate

Amount = $299.7

Hence, an average American spends $299.7 on lotteries each year

[tex]12(0) + 3 * 5[/tex]

A store manager wants to estimate the proportion of customers who spend money in this store. How many customers are required for a random sample to obtain a margin of error of at most 0.075 with 80% confidence?

Answers

The 73 customers who spend money in this store if a MOE of at most 0.075 with 80% confidence.

What is the margin of error(MOE)?

MOE is an error that provides an estimate of the percentage of errors in real statistical data.

The formula for finding the MOE:

MOE = z x s/√n

Where ,

Z = the z-score at the confidence interval

s =  the standard deviation

n = the number of samples.

We have p = 0.50 MOE = 0.075

Z = 1.282 at 80% confidence

0.075 = 1.282 x √0.50(1- 0.50)/ n

After solving,

n = (0.5)(0.5)/(0.0585)²

n = 73

Thus, the 73 customers who spend money in this store if a MOE of at most 0.075 with 80% confidence.

c. The allowance account before adjustment has a credit balance of $4,700. Bad debt expense is estimated at 1/2 of 1% of sales.
d. The allowance account before adjustment has a credit balance of $4,700. An aging of the accounts in the customer ledger indicates estimated doubtful accounts of

Determine the amount of the adjusting entry to provide for doubtful accounts under each of the assumptions (a through d) listed above.

Answers

Based on the account receivable balance and the adjustments, the adjusting entries for doubtful debt under various assumptions is:

a. $23,900b. $47,900c. $47, 800d. $34,300

What are the entries for doubtful debt?

a. Bad debt is 1/4 of 1% of sales:

= 9,560,000 x 0.25%

= $23,900

b. Debit balance of $11,400:

= Estimated doubtful accounts + Debit balance

= 36,500 + 11,400

= $47,900

c. Credit balance of $4,700 and 1/2 of 1% of sales:

= Sales x 0.50%

= 9,560,000 x 0.50%

= $47,800

d. Credit balance of $4,700 and estimated doubtful of $39,000:

Arc length = ∅ × r, where ∅ is the central angle in radians, and r is the radius of the circle.

Given the following:

∅ = 60° = 60° × π/180 (in radians)r = 5 cm

Length of the arc = 60° × π/180 × 5 = (60 × π × 5)/180

The nth term of the arithmetic sequence 300,250,200 is 350-50n if the common ratio is -50

What is a sequence?

It is defined as the systematic way of representing the data that follows a certain rule of arithmetic.

We have an arithmetic sequence:

300,250,200

The first term a = 300

Common difference d = 250-300 = -50

nth term:

A(n) = a + (n-1)d

A(n) = 300 + (n-1)(-50)

A(n) = 300 -50n + 50

A(n) = 350—50n

Thus, the nth term of the arithmetic sequence 300,250,200 is 350-50n if the common ratio is -50

The perimeter of a rectangle with length l and width w is 44 inches. The area of the rectangle is at most 120.
Which of the following statements is true?
A. If w 12 inches, then l 10 inches
B. If w 12 inches, then l 10 inches
C. If w 12 inches, then l 10 inches
D. If w 12 inches, then l 10 inches

Answers

The true statement about the rectangle  is A. If w is 12 inches, then l is 10 inches

How to determine the true statement?

The given parameters are:

Perimeter, P = 44Area = 120 (at most)

The perimeter of a rectangle is:

P = 2(L + W)

So, we have:

2(L + W) = 44

Divide by 2

L + W = 22

The area is calculated as:

A = LW

This gives

LW = 120

Express 120 as 12 * 10 and 10 * 12

LW =12 * 10 or LW = 10 * 12

By comparison, we have:

L = 12 and W = 10 or L = 10 and W = 12

When these values are substituted in L + W = 22, we have:

10 + 12 = 22 and 12 + 10 =22

This means that the dimensions of the rectangle are 10 by 12 inches or 12 by 10 inches

Hence, the true statement is A. If w is 12 inches, then l is 10 inches
