American Auto is evaluating its marketing plan for the sedans, SUVs, and trucks the company produces. A TV ad featuring this SUV has been developed. The company estimates each showing of this commercial will cost $500,000 and increase sales of SUVs by 3% but reduce sales of trucks by 1% and have no effect on the sales of sedans. The company also has a print ad campaign developed that it can run in various nationally distributed magazines at a cost of $750,000 per title. It is estimated that each magazine title the ad runs in will increase the sales of sedans, SUVs, and trucks by 2%, 1%, and 4%, respectively. The company desires to increase sales of sedans, SUVs, and trucks by at least 3%, 14%, and 4%, respectively, in the least costly manner.

The United States Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) conducts the Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW) and reports a variety of information on each county in America. In the third quarter of 2016, the QCEW reported the total taxable earnings, in millions, of all wage earners in all 3222 counties in America. Suppose that James is an economist who collects a simple random sample of the total taxable earnings of workers in 52 American counties during the third quarter of 2016. According to the QCEW, the true population mean and standard deviation of taxable earnings, in millions of dollars, by county are ?=28.29 and ?=33.493 , respectively. Let ? be the total taxable earnings, in millions, of all wage earners in a county. The mean total taxable earnings of all wage earners in a county across all the counties in James' sample is ?⎯⎯⎯ . Use the central limit theorem (CLT) to determine the probability ? that the mean taxable wages in James' sample of 52 counties will be less than $29 million. Report your answer to four decimal places. ?(?⎯⎯⎯<29) P ( x ¯ < 29 ) = Use the CLT again to determine the probability that the mean taxable wages in James' sample of 52 counties will be greater than $26 $ 26 million. Report your answer to four decimal places. ?(?⎯⎯⎯>26) P ( x ¯ > 26 )

Lab – Linux Fundamentals Instructions: Using Kali Linux, the Windows Linux Sub-System, or another Debian based Linux distribution, perform the following tasks based on the Linux Fundamentals lecture. For this lab, take screenshots for all major steps completed to illustrate that each task was successfully completed (the same method as would be used for other labs).

9. Display your current directory in the terminal

10. Display your current directories contents including the inode value and permissions for each file and directory

11. Without using an editor, create a file with no contents called billy_bobs_diary.txt in the user BillyBob’s home directory

12. Edit your file using nano or vi and add the following string into the contents of the file: “This is my super-duper secret diary. No one shall read my diary for as long as I live. I will encrypt this with the moistest strongest encryption that is known to man. P.S. I really love kitten memes”

13. Rename the file to secret_file.txt using the command line

14. Move the file, secret_file.txt, to a directory named secret located in /opt

15. Create a copy of the file, secret_file.txt, and place it in BillyBob’s home directory

16. On the file, secret_file.txt, located in /opt/secret, change the file permissions so that all users have read/write access, but not execute

17. After you get weirded out that your professor just did that for fun, change the permissions so that the owning user has r/w, the owning group has r/w, and all other users have read only access

18. Display the contents of secret_file.txt via the command line without using a text editor

19. Append the following line to the document without using a text editor: “I have hidden this file so cleverly, that no one will ever find it. My secrets are safe here.”

20. Using the command line, clone the GitHub repository below into the /opt directory. Use the ReadMe to introduce yourself to the mystery scenario. After familiar with the scenario and the instructions, solve the mystery and take snapshots along the way, especially when you figure out who done it!

Discuss in an in-depth, personal analysis the causes of the American colonial rebellion against British authority, which ultimately led to independence and the creation of a new country called the United States of America in 1776. From the founding of Jamestown in 1607 through the end of the Seven Years' War (or the French and Indian War as the colonials referred to the conflict) Great Britain practiced the policy of "salutary neglect;" define what that meant and how it benefited the colonies but hurt British policy and control of the colonies. After the English victory in the Seven Years' War, Great Britain could no longer afford such carelessness; why? As a result, England implemented all manner of new policies the colonists found unacceptable, which led to widespread protest, resistance, and violence and finally war with a declaration of independence; why?

A past study claimed that adults in America spent an average of 18 hours a week on leisure activities. A researcher wanted to test this claim. She took a sample of 10 adults and asked them about the time they spend per week on leisure activities. Their responses (in hours) are as follows.

Assume that the times spent on leisure activities by all adults are normally distributed. Using the 5% significance level, can you conclude that the average amount of time spent by American adults on leisure activities has changed? (Hint: First calculate the sample mean and the sample standard deviation for these data. Then make the test of hypothesis about μ.)

Round the sample standard deviation to three decimal places.

You are watching a national news broadcast with your parents. The news anchor explains that an exchange rate for the dollar just hit its lowest value in a decade. The on-the-spot report shifts to a spokesman for Company XYZ, a heavy equipment manufacturer. The spokesman reports that sales of their earthmoving equipment have hit an all-time high and so has the value of their stock. Your parents are shocked by the report's positive view of the low value of the dollar. They just cancelled their European vacation because of the dollar's low value.

Why do Company XYZ and your parents have different opinions about the value of the dollar? If someone argues that a strong dollar is "good for America" because Americans are able to exchange some of their GDP for a greater amount of foreign GDP, is it true that a strong dollar is good for every American? Why or why not?

The average IQ in America is 100. A researcher wants to test the hypothesis that left-handed individuals have different IQs than the average American. He administers an IQ test to 8 left-handed individuals. They have mean 97.4 with a standard deviation of 13.

Test the hypothesis (=.05) that left handed individuals have different IQs than the average Ameican.

BE SURE TO ANSWER ALL PARTS OF THE QUESTION AND SHOW YOUR WORK WHEN YOU CAN.

a) What is the appropriate test?

b) State the null Hypothesis (in words and with means).

c) State the alternative hypothesis (in words and with means).

d) Find the critical value.

e) Calculate the obtained statistic.

f) Report the results. Make a decision.

g) What does your decision mean?

A magazine company is planning to survey customers to determine the proportion who will renew their subscription for the coming year. The magazine wants to estimate the population proportion with 95​% confidence and a margin of error equal to ±0.08.

What sample size is​ required?

The required sample size is customers. ​(Round up to the nearest whole number as​ needed.)

Starbucks is a coffee company—a big coffee company. During a 10-year period, the number of Starbucks locations in China grew from 24 to over 1,000. The following is adapted from Starbucks’s annual report for the year ended October 2, 2019, and dollars are reported in millions.

Assume that the following events occurred in the following quarter, which ended December 31, 2019. Dollars are in millions.

a. Paid $1,000 cash for additional intangible assets.

b. Issued additional shares of common stock for $10,000 in cash.

c. Purchased equipment; paid $4,000 in cash and signed additional long-term loans for $9,500.

d. Paid $800 cash for accounts payable owed at October 2.

e. Conducted negotiations to purchase a coffee farm, which is expected to cost $8,400.

Formulate a general ledger and balance sheet. What is the current ratio for Starbucks at October 2, 2019, prior to the transactions listed above? What would it be after the transactions in (a)-(e)?
