The IRS currently uses Benford's Law to detect fraudulent tax data. Suppose you work for the IRS and are investigating an individual suspected of embezzling. The first digit of 162 checks to a supposed company are as follows:

What is the P-Value? Report answer to 4 decimal places
P-Value =

Write a statement to the law enforcement officials that will use it to decide whether to pursue the case further or not. Structure your essay as follows:

Given a brief explanation of what a Goodness of Fit test is.
Explain why a Goodness of Fit test should be applied in this situation.
State the hypotheses for this situation.
Interpret the p-value
Use the answer to part c to justify the decision in part d.
Use the decision in part d to make a conclusion about whether the individual is likely to have embezzled.
Use this to then tell the law enforcement officials whether they should pursue the case or not.

Many taxpayers think the tax law is all black and white with no room for gray areas. What do you think? Explain your answer.

Additionally, various tax services provide Internal Revenue Code (IRC) histories for researchers who need them. What value would this provide to researchers? Why would tax preparers need to review prior tax years' laws? Is this related to the perception of gray areas in tax law? Explain your answer in detail.

Find the volume of the solid obtained by rotating the region bounded by y = x 3 , y = 1, x = 2 about the line y = −3.

Sketch the region, the solid, and a typical disk or washer (cross section in xy-plane).

Show all the work and explain thoroughly.

Principles of Finance II WEEK 4: Discussion Prompt #1 Dividend policy is the set of guidelines a company uses to decide how much of its earnings it will pay out to shareholders. There are three main approaches to dividends: residual, stability or a hybrid of the two. For this discussion, research a publicly traded company that you are interested in or would like to know more about. State what type of dividend policy they currently use. In addition, explain whether you would invest in this company knowing how they pay out dividends.

Suppose a MTH instructor is teaching two sections of the course, and administers an exam. The instructor grades the exams, and calculates the mean exam score to be 65 for section 1 and 83 for section 2.

a- Do you (not the instructor) have enough information to calculate the overall mean for all students enrolled on either section? Explain

b- Suppose section 1 has 35 students and section 2 has 25 students. Calculate the overall mean. Is the overall mean closer to 65 or to 83?

c- Give an example of two section sizes n1 and n2 for which the overall mean is more than 81 (show your calculation)

JAVA Practice Exam 2

The project practice_exam_2 contains three (3) classes:

• Testing – This is the file you will use to execute your program and test your cases. Each section refers to

  one or more specific array(s). From here, you can run the whole program or one section at a time.

• TestCases – This file contains all test cases. NO NEED FOR YOU TO PAY ATTENTION TO IT.

• YourCode – This is where you will be writing your code.

  Implement the body of the seven (7) methods that are declared in the class YourCode as follows:

• Method section_1

  •  Given an array of integers, print all the elements in the array in reverse order.

  •  Consider the case when the array is empty and output the message, “The array is empty.”

• Method section_2

  •  Given an array of integers, overwrite all the odd numbers in the array with 0.

  •  Do NOT print the array; the testing section will print the array.

• Method section_3

  •  Given an array of integers, find the index of the smallest element in the array and print it out on

    the screen.

  •  Do NOT print the array; the testing section will print the array.

• Method section_4

  •  Given an array of integers, count all elements in the array that are multiples of 3, but do NOT

    count number 3 itself, and print out the total count.

  •  Do NOT print the array; the testing section will print the array.

• Method section_5

  •  Given an array of integers, sum up every other element in the array starting at index 0, and print

    out the result.

  •  Use a while loop.

  •  Do NOT print the array; the testing section will print the array.

• Method section_6

  •  Given a two arrays (a and b) with equal length and that have at least one element, for every

    element in array a, consider the corresponding element in array b (at the same index) and add

    the element from array b to the element in array a (modifying the elements in array a).

  •  Example:

    a is: 4 2 6 5
    b is: 2 3 7 4
    Resulting state of a is: 6 5 13 9 (b remains the same)

  •  Do NOT print the array; the testing section will print the array.

• Method section_7

  •  Create a new array of integers with length equal to the length of the given array, and copy every

    other element of the given array into the new array, starting at index 0.

  •  Use two (2) for loops: The first will copy the array and the second will print it.

  •  Consider the case when the given array is empty and output the message, “The array to copy

    from is empty.”

  •  Print out the new array.

in your own words, please explain section 1.164-1(a)(2) in the internal revenue code

What is the purpose of measures of association in criminal justice research?

Generally, explain their role as it relates to evaluating claims about theories of crime causation or program/policy effectiveness. Use an example to illustrate your point.

A random sample of non-English majors at a selected college was used in a study to see if the student retained more from reading a 19th-century novel or by watching it in DVD form. Each student was assigned one novel to read and a different one to watch, and then they were given a 100-point written quiz on each novel. The test results are shown. Book 90 80 90 75 80 90 84 DVD 95 82 80 80 70 85 90 Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the students score higher after watching the DVD.

1.Find the P-value.

2.Based on the P-value found , state your conclusion about the null hypothesis.

3.Based on your conclusion, state the conclusion about the claim.

4.Construct the 90% confidence interval to estimate the mean differences of the scores.

5.Based on the confidence interval, state the conclusion about the means.
