In its latest press release, Pill International announced that they are working on a new drug that would stunt the deterioration of brain cells in Alzheimer's patients. If successful, the drug could prolong the life of patients and allow them to retain their basic mobility.

The R&D team is currently testing the drug, which comes in the form of a digestible tablet, for its ability to be dissolved and absorbed in the bloodstream. Based on their latest experiments, they have learned that there is a relationship between the amount of time that the tablet's powder spends in the tray dryer and the amount of time it takes to get dissolved (Y). As a member of this research team, you have been asked to establish the relationship between the two variables and to predict potential dissolution times based on the time spent in the dryer.

Regress the time spent in the dryer against the dissolution time.

NOTE: Do not change the data values if you have outliers (negative observations) in the data set.

What is your intercept estimate for this model?

Enter your answer rounded to two decimal places. For example, if your answer is 12.3456, you should enter 12.35 in the box below.

Part 2

If you want to set dryer time to 44 seconds, what would you expect the dissolution time to be (in seconds)?

Enter your answer rounded to one decimal place. For example, if your answer is 12.3456, you should enter 12.3 in the box below.

Part 3

What is the p-value for your dryer time estimate?

Enter your answer in decimal form using three decimal places. For example, if your answer is 23.24%, you should enter .232 in the box below. If your answer is less than .001, you may enter "0" in the box below.

In what ways is the first amendment right guaranteeing freedoms of expression in speech and press related to student non-instructional rights? Give an example and relate it to a specific part of the annotation. What are some considerations under which free speech cannot be considered a protection in a school or educational situation.

If a hurricane was headed your way, would you evacuate? The headline of a press release states, "Thirty-two Percent of People on High-Risk Coast Will Refuse Evacuation Order, Survey of Hurricane Preparedness Finds." This headline was based on a survey of 5237 adults who live within 20 miles of the coast in high hurricane risk counties of eight southern states. In selecting the sample, care was taken to ensure that the sample would be representative of the population of coastal residents in these states.

(a) Use this information to estimate the proportion of coastal residents who would evacuate using a 98% confidence interval. (Round your answers to three decimal places.) (_____ ,_____ )

(b) Write a few sentences interpreting the interval and the confidence level associated with the interval. We are ____% confident that the proportion of all coastal residents who evacuate is within the confidence interval. If we were to take a large number of random samples of size 5237, ____% of the resulting confidence intervals would contain the true proportion of all coastal residents who_____evacuate.

A press release announcing the appointment of the trustees of the new Financial Accounting Foundation stated that the Financial Accounting Standards Board (to be appointed by the trustees) “. . . will become the established authority for setting accounting principles under which corporations report to the shareholders and others” (AICPA news release July 20, 1972).

Part A.) Identify the sponsoring organization of the FASB and the process by which the FASB arrives at a decision and issues an accounting standard.
Part B.) Indicate the major types of pronouncements issued by the FASB and the purposes of each of these pronouncements.
