The Vandal Lounge, (slogan; “We trashed the place so you wouldn’t have to”) is trying to decide drink prices. After rejecting a shrewd suggestion from the head bartender that they charge more for each succeeding drink on the assumption that the impaired patrons won’t have enough sense to understand the novel pricing scheme, you head to the back with a pot of coffee to decide the price of Vandal beer. You estimate that next year you will have sales of $200,000. You want a next profit of $20,000. In addition, you feel that all expenses (excluding COGS) will total around $100,000. What must your IMU plan be?

1. This structure is the major routing area where sensory information is sorted before being sent to the correct processing center in the brain

A. corpus callosum B. medulla C. pons D. thalamus

2. Some sensory information taken in by the right eye is processed by the right side of the brain

A. True. B. False

3. Current data suggests that the novel coronavirus that causes COVID-19 has an R0 approximately equal to 2.2. What percentageof the population would need to be immune to the virus to effectively halts its spread? Answers should be to the nearest 2 decimal places. Do not include the % symbol in your answer.

Using a symmetry-based approach, construct a complete molecular orbital diagram for OH2. (a) Indicate the HOMO and LUMO. (b) Draw a representation of the HOMO and LUMO. (c) If one were to react this cation with another proton to give the dicationic species [H3O] + explain what would happen to the energies of the orbitals in the OH2 diagram after this reaction. Be specific about the key features regarding the M.O. diagram in the new cation. You do NOT need to write a novel here – 3 or 4 sentences should be enough. Alternatively you can answer this part using a diagram – after all, a picture says a 1000 words.

1-If an investigator is systematically varying the delay between the instrumental response and the subsequent delivery of the reinforcer, she is investigating

       
a-temporal contiguity in instrumental conditioning.

       
b-response reinforcer contingency.

       
c-negative contrast.

       
d-delayed conditioning procedures.

2-According to Thorndike what is the function of a reinforcer?

       
a-To strengthen the association between a stimulus and a response.

       
b-To strengthen the association between a reinforcer and a response.

       
c-To strengthen the association between a stimulus and a reinforcer.

       
d-To reduce the drives that force animals to action.

3-Which of the following correctly describes the phenomenon of 'blocking'?

       
a-Prior conditioning with CS1 increases responding to the added stimulus CS2.

       
b-Prior conditioning with CS1 prevents conditioning to the added stimulus CS2.

       
c-Prior conditioning with CS1 is blocked by the new added stimulus CS2.

       
d-Prior conditioning with CS1 is enhanced by the new added stimulus.

4-In the Lieberman et al. (1979) study just after the instrumental response, an intense noise (marker) was presented. Under these circumstances, the instrumental learning became resistant to the delay of reinforcement because

       
a-the marker acts as a conditioned stimulus.

       
b-the marker increases the drive level of the organism.

       
c-the marker increases the activity of the organism.

       
d-the marker helps to distinguish the instrumental response from other responses.

5-The blocking effect indicates that for the establishment of an association between a CS and a US,

       
a-contiguity between a CS and a US is enough.

       
b-US intensity is very important.

       
c-contiguity between a CS and a US is not enough.

       
d-CS type is very important.

6-In which of the contingencies below does the instrumental response procedure an appetitive stimulus?

       
a-Negative reinforcement.

       
b-Punishment.

       
c-Positive reinforcement.

       
d-Omission training.

7-Which of the following findings strongly supports the compensatory response model?

       
a-The finding that the nature of the CR is identical to the UR.

       
b-The finding that in many classical conditioning situations involving drugs as the US, the form of the CR is opposite the forms of the UR.

       
c-The finding that in higher order conditioning sometimes S-R rather than S-S types of associations are observed.

       
d-The finding that in sensory preconditioning always S-S type associations are observed

8-Under which of the following conditions will the CS be associated with the US most rapidly?

       
a-If the CS is familiar, relatively weak, and related to the US

       
b-If the CS is novel, relatively intense, and related to the US.

       
c-If the CS is novel, relatively weak, and not related to the US.

       
d-If the CS is novel, relatively intense, and not related to the US.

For each problem students will write out all steps of hypothesis testing including populations, hypotheses, cutoff scores, and all relevant calculations.

A nationwide survey in 1995 revealed that U.S. grade-school children spend an average of µ = 8.4 hours per week doing homework.  The distribution is normal with σ = 3.2.  Last year, a sample of n = 100 grade-school children was given the same survey.  For this sample, the mean number of homework hours was 7.1.   Has there been a significant change in the homework habits of grade-school children?  Test with α = .05.

Listed below are time intervals​ (min) between eruptions of a geyser. The​ "recent" times are within the past few​ years, and the​ "past" times are from 1995.

Development of the world population between 1960 and 2005.

Based on the data, construct a linear regression model M in which the population of the globe is explained over time. For how many people does the model predict the population to grow at an annual rate? Please provide an answer with at least two significant digits.

--> I only need the answer, no explation needed :) Thank you!

Inflation

• How do economists measure inflation? Did the CPI recently increase or decrease? Visit the Bureau of Labor Statistics website and explore the Consumer Price Index section. Summarize the latest press release and explain what caused the index to increase or decrease. (You can also talk about COVID-19)

Should countries with weak human rights records be placed under economic embargoes, or some type of political or economic sanction? Can the world community both respect national sovereignty and press counties for greater human rights? How is this best done, and what are the roles of government, of the UN, and of nongovernmental human rights organizations?
