The metropolitan area of Los Angeles–Long Beach, California, showed the largest increase in the number of jobs between 1988 and 2003. The number of jobs increased from 5,152,500 to 6,286,100. What was the geometric mean expected yearly rate of increase? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) |
Geometric mean % |
Given-
Vi = initial value = 5,152,500
Vf = final value = 6,286,100
N = number of years = 2003 - 1988 = 15
The formula for calculating the geometric mean (also known as the exponential growth rate) is:
R = (Vf / Vi)1 / N
= (6,286,100 / 5,152,500)1 / 15
= 1.22 1 / 15
= 1.013345
=> The geometric mean expected yearly rate of increase is 1.013345 - 1 = 0.013345
=> 1.33 % growth rate per year

Will rate!! Some parts of California are particularly earthquake prone. Suppose that in one metropolitan area, the chance a homeowner is insured against an earthquake is 0.30, A sample of four homeowners are to be selected at random. Suppose X is a random variable that is modeled by a binomial distribution which describes the number of homeowners out of the four that have earthquake insurance. (a) Find the probability mass function of X. (Round your answers to four decimal places.)...
The Los Angeles Times (Dec. 13, 1992) reported that 75% of airline passengers prefer to sleep on long flights than watch movies, read, etc. Consider randomly selecting 25 passengers from a particularly long flight and you are willing to consider this as a random sample of the population of all passengers on long flights. (1) What is the probability that exactly 18 passengers slept on the flight? (Show what you typed into the calculator, define n, p, and r, and...
your help is appreciated :) The Los Angeles Dodgers have many devoted fans that pack the stadium for games (pre-COVID). The Dodgers record the number of attendees at their games (expressed in thousands). They also collect a wide range of different statistics from the game. The statistic that most fans are concerned about is the number of runs scored. Data from 12 randomly selected games are shown in the table below. What is the relationship between the attendance at the...

California had stricter gun laws than Texas. However, California had a greater proportion of gun murders than Texas. Here we test whether or not the proportion was significantly greater in California. A significant difference is one that is unlikely to be a result of random variation. The table summarizes the data for each state. The p̂'s are actually population proportions but you should treat them as sample proportions. The standard error (SE) is given to save calculation time if you...
An investment group has retained RCLCO to prioritize several metropolitan areas for potential investment in office buildings. Based on your initial interview with the investment group, you have determined that they are looking for markets that have a) strong basic market fundamentals, b) good growth potential from a demand perspective, and c) low levels of future supply relative to historical absorption Looking at the data you have collected on the following table, which two metropolitan areas would you recommend that...
Myrtle Air Express decided to offer direct service from Cleveland to Myrtle Beach. Management must decide between a full-price service using the company's new fleet of jet aircraft and a discount service using smaller-capacity commuter planes. It is clear that the best choice depends on the market reaction to the service Myrtle Air offers. Management developed estimates of the contribution to profit for each type of service based upon two possible levels of demand for service to Myrtle Beach: strong...
