Real income adjusts the nominal value for the rate of inflation. Real income per capita is considered a good measure of the buying power of an individual in a particular area because it adjusts for both the number of people in the area and the relative inflation of the area. According to Forbes magazine, the state with the highest annual real income per capita in 2020 is Connecticut with a real per capita income of $68,533. Suppose that the annual real income of individuals in Connecticut follows a normal distribution with a mean of $68,533 and standard deviation of 23.480 a. What is the probability that an individual in Connecticut has an annual real income of $50,000 or more (to 2 decimals)? c. What is the probability that an individual in Connecticut has an annual real income between$60,000 and $80,000 (to 2 decimals)? d.

Using the multiplicative seasonal method, calculate the monthly seasonal indices. (Enter your responses rounded to three decimal places.) B. Develop a simple linear regression equation to forecast annual sales. For this regression, the dependent variable, Y, is the demand in each year and the independent variable, X, is the index for the year. C. Forecast the annual sales for year 6 by using the regression model you developed in part b. D. Prepare the seasonal forecast for each month by using the monthly seasonal indices calculated in part a.arrow_forwardPart c: What percentage of an adult size brain does a child have at age 10?
