We’ve established that heights of 10-year-old boys vary according to a Normal distribution with μ = 138 cm and σ = 7 cm What proportion is less than 124 cm in height?

A large national survey of American dietary habits showed a mean calorie consumption of 2700 kcal and a standard deviation of 450 kcal among teenage boys. You are studying dietary habits of children in your county to see if they differ from the national norm.
(a) In a sample of 36 teenage boys, you find a mean consumption of 2620 kcal. At  = 0.05, is this significant evidence that the mean in your county differs from the national mean? Assume that the standard deviation observed nationally can be used for  .
(b) Using =0.05 and sample of size 36, what is the probability that you will actually be able to detect a situation where your county has a mean of only 2600 kcal? (That is, what is the power if =2600?)

Bossiness in firstborn girls is a research article by Beverly Capofiglia from Southern California Child Study Center. What are the research designs and threats to internal validity of this research?

Hot & Cold and Caldo Freddo are two European manufacturers of home appliances that have merged. Hot & Cold has plants in France, Germany, and Finland, where Caldo Freddo has plants in the United Kingdom and Italy. The European market is divided into four regions: North, East, West, and South. Plant capacities (millions of units per year), annual fixed costs (millions of euros per year), regional demand (millions of units), and variable production and shipping costs (euros per unit) are listed in the following table.

Each appliance sells for an average price of 300 euros. All plants are currently treated as profit centers, and the company pays taxes separately for each plant. Tax rates in the various countries are as follows: France, 0.25; Germany, 0.25; Finland, 0.3; UK 0.2; Italy, 0.35.

1. Before the merger, what is the optimal network for each of the two firms if their goal is to minimize costs? What is the optimal network if the goal is to maximize after-tax profits?

   Several years ago, (P&G) merged with Gillette. One of the concerns after the merger was the increasing burden of retirement expenditures. An effort was made to encourage employees to participate in 401(k) accounts. Nationwide, 66% of eligible workers participated in these accounts.

The file titled Gillette contains responses of 200 P&G workers when asked if they were currently participating in 401(k) account.

Yes= 144, No= 56

a.       Determine the sample proportion of P&G workers who participated in 401(k) accounts.

b.       Determine the sampling error if in reality P&G workers have the same proportion of participants in 401(k) accounts as does the rest of the population.

c.       Determine the probability that a sample proportion at least as large as that obtained in the sample would be obtained if P&G workers have the same proportion of participants in 401(k) accounts as does the rest of the nation.

d.       Does it appear that a larger proportion of P&G workers participate in 401(k) accounts than do the workers of the nation as a whole? Support your response.

Several years​ ago, two companies merged. One of the concerns after the merger was the increasing burden of retirement expenditures. An effort was made to encourage employees to participate in the​ 401(k) accounts.​ Nationwide, ​% of eligible workers participated in these accounts. The accompanying data table contains responses of employees of the company when asked if they were currently participating in a​ 401(k) account. Complete parts a through d.

No is 11 Yes is 19

a. Determine the sample proportion of company workers who participate in​ 401(k) accounts. The sample proportion is . ​(Round to three decimal places as​ needed.)

b. Determine the sampling error if in reality the company workers have the same proportion of participants in​ 401(k) accounts as does the rest of the nation. The error is . ​(Round to three decimal places as​ needed.)

c. Determine the probability that a sample proportion at least as large as that obtained in the sample would be obtained if the​ company's workers have the same proportion of participants in the​ 401(k) accounts as does the rest of the nation. The probability is . ​(Round to four decimal places as​ needed.)

d. Does it appear that a larger proportion of company workers participate in​ 401(k) accounts than do the workers of the nation as a​ whole? Support your response. ▼ Yes, or No, because there is a ???????????????% chance of obtaining a sample proportion greater than the one calculated in part a if the population proportion is ​%. ​(Round to the nearest percent as​ needed.)

    Homework 5: Sigmund Freud

    Freud’s general theory of personality is called ___________________ theory. While working with patients experiencing conversion disorders, Freud became convinced that all such cases were caused by unexpressed sexual motives.

    Freud viewed the mind as being composed of the three parts. The ___________________ functions entirely at the unconscious level and operates according to the ___________________ principle, which attempts to satisfy its needs by using wish-fulfilling mental images. A second part of the mind is called the ___________________, which can be thought of as the executive of personality and helps us to deal with the world through the reality principle. The only part of the mind containing a sense of morality is the ___________________, which is created mainly by parents. Parental punishment creates the moral inhibitions called conscience, whereas parental rewards establish a standard of conduct called the ego ideal.

    Freud believed that our personalities are formed as we pass through a series of developmental stages from infancy to adulthood. Stressful events experienced during a stage can leave the personality ___________________ at that stage. According to Freud, the developmental stages result from a shifting energy from one ___________________ zone to another. Since these stages represent the release of sexual energy, they are called ___________________ stages. The first stage, lasting from birth to one year of age, is called the ___________________ stage. If a person becomes fixated in the oral stage, he or she may engage in overeating and drinking.

    The second stage of development, from one to three years, is called the ___________________ stage. Fixations at this stage may lead to a personality that is either stingy and compulsive, called ___________________ ___________________, or cruel and disorderly, called ___________________ ___________________.

    From ages three to six, children are in the ___________________ stage, in which the genitals become the primary source of pleasure. During this stage, boys develop a sexual attraction to their mothers, referred to as the ___________________ ___________________. Boys also develop a fear of their fathers, called ___________________ ___________________. Girls develop desires for their fathers called the ___________________ ___________________. According to Freud, failure to resolve the phallic stage results in a phallic personality, characterized by egocentric selfishness, impulsiveness, and a lack of genuine feeling for others.

    From ages 6 to 11, children enter the ___________________ stage, during which sexual interest is relatively inactive. From age 11 through adulthood, the individual is in the ___________________ stage, in which sexual and romantic interests are directed towards one’s peers. Most modern revisions of psychoanalysis agree that Freud overemphasized ___________________  motivation, underemphasized positive aspects of personality and the importance of relationships, and was prejudiced against women.
