Buying a House

/in /by

Imagine you are a public administrator who has just been promoted to a higher position but must relocate to another city and purchase a different home. Using the five distributing bargaining skills, present the steps and various aspects you would consider implementing in buying a house. Be sure to address the following:

  1. Analyze the bargaining situation and whether or not it is distributive. If so, determine the reservation price.
  2. Present the initial offer you would make and apply bracketing to achieve your target price of $310,000.
  3. Indicate and frame the norms you would utilize in presenting your initial offer.

Your paper should be four- to- five- pages in length (not including title and reference pages). Format your paper according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center, and utilize three to four scholarly sources in addition to the textbook. Be sure to cite your sources within the body of your paper and on the reference page.

Carefully review the Grading Rubric for the criteria that will be used to evaluate your assignment.

Two-Variable Inequalities

Read the following instructions to complete this assignment: 

  1. Solve problem 68 on page 539 of Elementary and Intermediate Algebra, and make sure to study the given graph. For the purposes of the assignment, it would be helpful to copy the graph onto your own scratch paper. 

  2. Write a two- to three-page paper (not including the title page) that is formatted in APA style and according to the Math Writing Guide. Format your math work as shown in the  example , and be concise in your reasoning. In the body of your essay, do the following:

    • Demonstrate your solution to all three portions of the above problem, making sure to include all mathematical work, and an explanation for each step.
       
    • Use the inequality you create from part (a) of problem 68 to evaluate the following two scenarios:
      • The Burbank Buy More store is going to make an order which will include, at most, 60 refrigerators. What is the maximum number of TVs that could also be delivered on the same 18-wheeler? Be sure to show all your work and how you came to that conclusion.
      • The next day, the Burbank Buy More decides they will have a television sale so they change their order to include at least 200 TVs. What is the maximum number of refrigerators that could also be delivered in the same truck? Be sure to show your work and how you came to that conclusion.


  3. Incorporate the following five math vocabulary words into your discussion. Use bold font to emphasize the words in your writing (Do not write definitions for the words; use them appropriately in sentences describing your math work.):
    • Solid line
    • Dashed line
    • Parallel
    • Linear inequality
    • Test point

  • Appropriate citations are required (in APA format).
  • All DeVry University policies are in effect, including the plagiarism policy.
  • Papers are due during Week 7 of this course.
  • Any questions about this paper may be discussed in the weekly Q & A Forum discussion topic.
  • This paper is worth 250 total points, plus 45 points for the rough draft, and will be graded on the quality of the research topic, quality of paper information, use of citations, grammar, and sentence structure (see grading rubrics).
 

Best Practices

 Back to Top

 

Below are best practices in preparing this paper.

  • Cover page: Include who you prepared the paper for, who prepared it, and the date.
  • Table of contents: List the main ideas and sections of the paper and the pages where they are located. Illustrations should be included separately.
  • Introduction: Use a header on your paper. This will indicate that you are introducing the paper.

The purpose of an introduction or opening is to 

      1. introduce the subject and why the subject is important;
      2. preview the main ideas and the order in which they will be covered; and
      3. establish the tone of the document.
    • Include in the introduction a reason for the audience to read the paper. Also, include an overview of what you will cover and the importance of the material. (This should include or introduce the questions you are asked to answer in each assignment.)
  • Body of the report: Use a header with the name of the project. An example is, “The Development of Hotel X: A World-Class Resort.” Proceed to break out the main ideas: State the main ideas and the major points of each idea, and provide evidence. Show some type of division, such as separate, labeled sections; separate groups of paragraphs; or headers. Include the information you found during your research and investigation.
  • Summary and conclusion: Summarizing is similar to paraphrasing but presents the gist of the material in fewer words than the original. An effective summary identifies the main ideas and the major support points from the body of the report; minor details are left out. Summarize the benefits of the ideas and how they affect the subject.
  • Work cited: Use the citation format specified in the Syllabus.

Additional hints on preparing the best possible project are below.

  1. Apply a three-step process to writing: plan, write, and complete.
  2. Prepare an outline of the research paper before going forward.
  3. Complete a first draft and then go back to edit, evaluate, and make any changes required.
  4. Use visual communication to further clarify and support the written part of the report. Examples include graphs, diagrams, photographs, flowcharts, maps, drawings, animation, video clips, pictograms, tables, and Gantt charts.

___________

The population is the five employees in an physician’s office. The number of possible samples of 2 that could be selected from this population is


Selected Answer:

10 

Correct Answer:

10 





Question 2 

0 out of 6 points


 

 

 

Suppose we have a negatively skewed population. According to the Central Limit Theorem, the distribution of a sample mean of 30 observations will


Selected Answer:

also be negatively skewed. 

Correct Answer:

approach a normal distribution. 





Question 3 

6 out of 12 points


 

 

 

The foreman of the canning division of the Planters Peanuts Company observed that the amount of cashews in a 48-ounce can varies from can to can. Records indicate that the process follows the normal probability distribution with a mean of 48.5 ounces and a standard deviation of 0.25 ounces. The foreman randomly selects 16 cans from the canning line and determines that the mean amount of cashews per can is 48.6 ounces. Compute the probability that the sample of 16 cans would have a mean greater than or equal to 48.45 ounces.(CH 8)



Selected Answer:

mean= 48.5
Sd=0.25
n= 16
x= 48.6
P (z>= 48.6 ) = 48.6 -48.5 / 0.25/ sqrt 16 = 0.1 /0.0625 = 1.6 
probabilty is 0.9452
94.52%


Correct Answer:

z = 48.45 – 48.5 / .25 / square root of 16 = -.05 / .0625 = -0.8
The probability that z is greater than -0.8 is .5000 + .2881 = .7881






Question 4 

10 out of 12 points


 

 

 

RoadRunner Sports knows that the mean time it takes to process an order after it has been placed on its website is 23 minutes with a standard deviation of 8 minutes. If a random sample of 36 online orders is taken, what is the probability that the mean of the sample is less than 20 minutes?



Selected Answer:

z = 20 – 23 / 8/ sqrt 36 = -3 /1.33 = 2.2556
from table the probabiliy is 0.9759


so the proabiliy is 97.59%


Correct Answer:

z = Xbar- mu / std dev / sq rt n =

 

20 – 23 / 8 / sq rt 36 = – 2.25  

 

z value for -2.25 is .4878   

 

The likelihood of finding a z value less than -2.25 is found by (.5000 – .4878) = .0122. There is about a one percent chance that we could select a sampole of 36 online orders and find the mean processing time of the sample is 20 minutes or less, when the population mean s 23 minutes.

 





Question 5 

8 out of 12 points


 

 

 

The Internal Revenue Service is studying contributions to charity. A random sample of 36 returns is selected. The population mean contribution is $150 and the population standard deviation of  is $20. 
     a. Construct a 98 percent confidence interval for the population mean.

     b. Compute the 98 percent confidence interval if the population consists of 200 tax returns. (Finite population correction factor)




Selected Answer:

mean= 150
SD = 20
n= 36
t= 2.424
150 +/- 2.424 x 20/ sqrt 36 =  150-8.08 and 150=8.08
141.92 , 158.08


 

b) 150 +/- 2.05 x 20/ sqrt 200 = 150-2.90 and 150=2.90
147.10 152.90


 

 

Correct Answer:

a. The z value is 2.33, found by Appendix D and locating the value of .4901 in the body of the table, and reading the corresponding row and column values.
  $150 + 2.33 ($20/square root of 36) = $150 + $7.77 = $142.23 to $157.77


b. $150 + 2.33 ($20/ sq root 36) (sq root 200 – 36 / 200 – 1) = $150 + $7.05 = $142.95 to $157.05






Question 6 

12 out of 16 points


 

 

 

A manufacturer of batteries for “kids’ toys” wishes to investigate the length of time a battery will last. Test results on a sample of 10 batteries indicated a sample mean of 5.67 and a sample standard deviation of 0.57.  (SHOW ALL CALCULATIONS.)
     a.  Determine the mean and the standard deviation.

     b. What is the population mean? What is the best estimate of that value?

     c.  Construct a 95 percent confidence interval for the population mean?

     d.  Is it reasonable for the manufacturer to claim that the batteries will last 6.0 hours? (Show your calculations.)




Selected Answer:

a) mean= 5.67
SD = 0.57
b) population mean will be sample mean if the sample is normally distributed = 5.67
sample mean is the best estimate of population mean
c) z for 95%=1.645
5.67 –  1.645 x 0.57/ sq rt 10 and  5.67 +  1.645 x 0.57/ sq rt 10
5.67 – 0.2967 and 5.67 + 0.2967 
      5.37       and 5.97

d) No the manufacturer cannot claim that batteries will last 6.0 hrs as the amximum value is 5.97 hrs. 





Correct Answer:

a. The sample mean is 5.67. The standard deviation is .57
b. The population mean is not known. The best estimate is the sample mean of 5.67.
c. Formula 9-2   5.67 + 2.262 (.57/sq root of 10) = 5.67 + 0.408 = 5.262 and 6.078
d. It is reasonable for the manufacturer to claim that the batteries will last 6.0 hours since 6.0 is in the interval.






Question 7 

10 out of 12 points


 

 

 

A random sample of 100 light bulbs is selected. Sixty were found to burn for more than 1,000 hours. Develop a 90 percent confidence interval for the proportion of bulbs that will burn more than 1,000 hours.



Selected Answer:

n=100
p= 60/100 = 0.6
CI for 90% = 1.28 
CI = p+/- z sqrt ( p x (1-p)/n) = 0.6 – 1.28 sqrt ( 0.6 x 0.4/100) and   0.6 + 1.28 sqrt ( 0.6 x 0.4/100)
0.6 – 0.06 and 0.6 =0.06
CI = (0.54 , 0.66)


Correct Answer:

The z value is 1.65, found by App D and locating the value of .4500 in the body of the table, and reading the corresponding row and column values. 
0.60 + 1.65 (square root (0.60)(1-.60) / 100 = .60 + 0.08 = .52 and .68






Question 8 

8 out of 12 points


 

 

 

A health maintenance organization (HMO) wants to estimate the mean length of a hospital stay. How large a sample of patient records is necessary if the HMO wants to be 99 percent confidence of the estimate and wants the estimate to be within plus or minus 0.2 days? An earlier study showed the standard deviation of the length of stay to be 0.25 days.(Round!) SHOW ALL CALCULATIONS!



Selected Answer:

n = ( z x Sd/ E)^2 = ( 2.35 x 0.25/ 0.2)^2  =8.6 or 9


Correct Answer:

n = [(2.58)(.25) / .20] squared  = 10.4 = 11 





Question 9 

6 out of 12 points


 

 

 

A large bank believes that one-third of its checking customers have used at least one of the bank’s other services during the past year. How large a sample is required to estimate the actual proportion with a range of plus or minus 0.04? Use the 98 percent level of confidence.


Selected Answer:

n= p (1-p)(z/E)^2
p = 1/3= 0.33
1-p = 1-0.33 = 0.67
z=2.05
E=0.04


n= 0.33 x 0.67 x ( 2.05/0.04)^2  = 0.2211 x 2626.56 = 580.7 or 581
