1) This may seem like an obvious one, but it is important to
understand the differences in financial management. Who can
describe the difference between cash flow, profit and net
income?
2) What is the definition of working capital in practical terms?
Additionally, where do we find working capital in financial
statements?
3) Equally important, who can present some basic ideas on where
we go when trying to raise capital?
Correlation - Do you think there would be a positive correlation
between a placement test score and the final grade in this
statistics class? What other variables do you think would have a
positive correlation with the final grade in this (or any) class?
What variables would have a negative correlation with a final grade
in a class? Look up a study that finds a correlation between grades
and some other variable. Describe the variables, the study, the
methods used,...
True or False?
With testing the significance of correlation, a hypothesis test
can be used to determine whether the sample correlation coefficient
has enough evidence to conclude that the population correlation
coefficient is significant.
Although polygraph tests are thought to be quite accurate, the
results of a test may be misleading.
Suppose we have the following facts
18% of people who take a polygraph test lie.
85% of people who lie will fail the test.
7% of people who tell the truth will fail the test.
(a) If a person fails the polygraph test, what is the
probability that he or she lied?
(b) If a person passes the polygraph test, what is the...
For each problem test the significance the Spearman Rank
Correlation Coefficient. Show your calculation of the test
statistic rs. Please show work so i understand how to do it!
Exercise 1. Defense and wins. The data in the table below shows the
wining percentage and the yards per game allowed in the 2014-15
season for a random sampling of teams. At α = 0.05, can you support
the claim that there is a correlation between the winning
percentage and the...

Exercise 2. Income and commute time. The table below shows the
median income ($1000s) and commuter times (minutes) for a random
sample of 6 different places. At α = 0.05, can you reject the claim
that there is no correlation between median income and commuting
distance?
