There are six wires which need to be attached to a circuit
board. A robotic device will attach the wires. The wires can be
attached in any order, and the production manager wishes to
determine which order would be fastest for the robot to use. Use
the multiplication rule of counting to determine the number of
possible sequences of assembly that must be tested. (Hint:
There are six choices for the first wire, five for the second wire,
four for...
Which of the following occurs in photoreceptors when they are
exposed to the appropriate wavelength of light?
Opsin and all-trans retinal combine to form rhodopsin.
PDE enzyme is activated, which increases cGMP levels.
Light-gated Na+ channels open, which depolarizes the cell.
cGMP levels decrease, which closes Na+ channels and
hyperpolarizes the cell.
A manufacturing company produces electrical insulators. If the
insulators break when in use, a short circuit is likely to occur.
To test the strength of the insulators, destructive testing is
carried out to determine how much force is required to break the
insulators. Force is measured by observing the number of pounds of
force applied to the insulator before it breaks. The following data
(stored in Force) are from 30 insulators subjected
to this testing:
At the 0.05 level of...

Which of the following is a true statement?
A.
Fraud by active concealment occurs when a party to a contract
fails to disclose all of the known facts about the subject matter
of the contract.
B.
To be actionable for fraud, a misrepresentation must pertain to
a future opinion.
C.
The threat to bring a lawsuit to obtain an agreement can be
grounds for duress if the suit is a legitimate one.
D.
A mutual mistake renders a contract null...
An electrical circuit contains two switches, labeled ―A‖ and
―B,‖ which are connected in parallel; i.e., the circuit functions
if either (or both) of the two switches functions. The probability
that switch A functions is 3/4. However, the switches do not
operate independently. If switch A functions, then switch B
functions with probability 8/9. If switch B functions, then switch
A functions with probability 4/5. (a) What is the probability that
both switches function? (b) What is the probability that...
1. Which of the following is generally false when a
consolidation occurs?
(a)
The consolidated entity assumes the debts of the original
corporations.
(b)
The consolidated entity takes on the rights of the original
companies.
(c)
The consolidated entity obtains the original corporations’
assets.
(d)
The new corporation has independent legal status.
(e)
The original corporations continue to exist legally.
2. Which of the following is true regarding the type of
intangible item that may constitute an asset?
(a)
A...
Consider the following situation: Electrical engineers have a
device that tests for battery life (in minutes) by placing a
battery under a controlled electrical load and measuring how long
it lasts. They are interested in comparing the performance of 4
brands of batteries. They replicated the experiment 4 times by
randomly assigning a battery brand to be used in the electrical
load device each time they measured battery life. In other words,
they made 16 ‘runs’ and randomized the order...
3) Which of the following statements is true or false
a) Character displacement occurs when two species using the same
resource overlap in their distributions and become more similar to
each other than they are where they don’t overlap.
b) If you wanted to know if an organism which expresses a
dominant phenotype is homozygous or heterozygous for a trait (e.g.,
round pea shape, R_), you could do a “test cross” between the
unknown individual (R_) and an individual which...
