When a researcher uses the classes 129-147, 147-165, 165-183 to create a distribution, he is violating which of the following suggested practices?

  1. Avoid a use of non-standard class marks.
  2. Avoid a use of open-ended classes.
  3. Avoid a use of uneven classes.
  4. Avoid a use of overlapping classes.

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

The classes are overlapping (for e.g., the classes "147-165" and "165-183" have the point "165" in common).
There are no open-ended classes and the classes have the same class interval. Note that "Avoid a use of non- standard class marks" is a bogus choice; there is no such suggested practice.



Your distant uncle's will specifies that you will receive a 20-year annuity of $10,000 a year, the payments starting seven years from now. How much is the annuity worth to you today if your discount rate is 4% per year?

  1. $107,406
  2. $135,903
  3. $122,321
  4. $110,911

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

The payments start at the end of 7 years. Thus, at the end of year 6, the annuity will be worth 10,000/0.04*(1-1/ (1.04^20)) = 135,903. The present value of this amount is 135,903/(1.04^6) = 107,406.
