Answer in detail please. Thank you.

The Sumatra-Andaman earthquake of December 26, 2004 with an undersea epicenter off the west coast of Sumatra, Indonesia, as reported in [1][2]. It triggered a series of devastating tsunamis that spread throughout the Indian Ocean killing approximately 230,000 people, including more than 168,000 in Indonesia and over 30,000 in Sri Lanka [2]. Sahana [2], a free and open source disaster management information system developed in Sri Lanka in the immediate aftermath of the Indian Ocean tsunami. Suppose that Sahana is addressing those recommendations and associated challenges from the Tsunami Evaluation Commission (TEC).

List out (4) factors when Sahana project did not maintenance software consistency and stability

The Study of Instructional Improvement (SII; Hill, Rowan, and Ball, 2004) was carried out by researchers at the University of Michigan to study the math achievement scores of first- and third-grade students in randomly selected classrooms from a national U.S. sample of elementary schools.

Using the information above answer the following question using excel and show work.

1.

• Analyze Classroom data         
  • Describe the relationship between the dependent variable and independent variable
  • Run the appropriate test and you’re your conclusion
  • Give a report resuming your findings

Format:

A data frame with 1190 observations on the following 12 variables.

a. sex

: Indicator variable (0 = boys, 1 = girls)

b. minority

: Indicator variable (0 = non-minority students, 1 = minority students)

c. mathkind

: Student math score in the spring of their kindergarten year

d. mathgain

: Student gain in math achievement score from the spring of kindergarten to the spring of first grade (the dependent variable)

e. ses

: Student socioeconomic status

f. yearsteach

: First grade teacher years of teaching experience

A bond issued on February 1, 2004 with face value of $47400 has semiannual coupons of 4.5%, and can be redeemed for par (face value) on February 1, 2021. What is the accrued interest and the market price (the “clean” price) of the bond on November 15, 2006, if the bond’s yield on that date is to be 6.5%? (use actual/actual for accrued interest).

please show steps and formula, Im really lost. I have tried multiple times, and dont understand where i went wrong.

Hurricane damage: In August and September 2005, Hurricanes Katrina and Rita caused extraordinary flooding in New Orleans, Louisiana. Many homes were severely damaged or destroyed, and of those that survived, many required extensive cleaning. It was thought that cleaning of flood–damaged homes might present a health hazard due to the large amounts of mold present in many of the homes. In a sample of 367 residents of Orleans Parish who had participated in cleaning of one or more homes, 81 had experienced symptoms of wheezing, and in a sample of 175 residents who had not participated in cleaning, 21 reported wheezing symptoms (numbers read from a graph). Can you conclude that there is a difference between the proportion of residents with wheezing symptoms who cleaned flood–damaged homes and those who did not participate in the cleaning?

Let p1 denote the proportion of residents with wheezing symptoms who had cleaned flood–damaged homes, and let p2 be the population proportion with wheezing symptoms who did not participate in the cleaning of flood–damaged homes. Use the α=0.01 level of significance and the critical value method.

a.) State H0 and H1

b.) Choose a significance level α and find the critical value.

c.) Compute the test statistic.

d.) Determine whether to reject H0.

e.) State a conclusion.

Hurricane damage: In August and September 2005, Hurricanes Katrina and Rita caused extraordinary flooding in New Orleans, Louisiana. Many homes were severely damaged or destroyed, and of those that survived, many required extensive cleaning. It was thought that cleaning flood-damaged homes might present a health hazard due to the large amounts of mold present in many of the homes. In a sample of 360 residents of Orleans Parish who had participated in the cleaning of one or more homes, 67 had experienced symptoms of wheezing, and in a sample of 180 residents who had not participated in the cleaning, 40 reported wheezing symptoms (numbers read from a graph). Can you conclude that there is a difference between the proportion of residents with wheezing symptoms who cleaned flood-damaged homes and those who did not participate in the cleaning? Let p1 denote the proportion of residents with wheezing symptoms who had cleaned flood-damaged homes and p2 denote the proportion of residents with wheezing symptoms who had not cleaned flood-damanged homes. Use the =α0.05 level of significance and the P-value method with the TI-84 Plus calculator.

1. State the null and alternate hypotheses.

2. Compute the P-value

3. determine whether it rejects.

4. Was there enough evidence?

Gary and Ace are happily married, and have adopted a daughter, Gidget, who is 2 years old. They met while attending Lindenwood, and still feel strong loyalty to their alma mater. Gary played on the Lions football team and majored in exercise science. He works as a construction worker, and earns $60,000/year. Ace majored in communications and works for a local radio station selling advertising. He earns $35,000/year. They expect to earn this amount of money annually for the next 30 years. 20% of their income is used to pay taxes and other payroll deductions. They think they can earn an annual rate of return, after inflation, of 6%.

Their home is worth $300,000, and has a $250,000 mortgage. They have two cars, each worth $25,000, and each with a loan of $15,000. If one of them dies, they won't need both cars, so the survivor would sell one of them. They have credit card debt of $10,000. Gary has $50,000 in his 401k, while Ace has $40,000 in his They have other investments totaling $75,000.

Gary wants to have a big party when he die. He wants his ashes spread to the end zone of Harlan Hunter Stadium. He says the Lions as a team are near dead anyway, so why not The cost for this is expected to be $20,000. Ace wants a New Orleans style funeral, with a parade. He wants to be buried in a mausoleum, because he is afraid of worms and doesn't want to be buried in the ground. The cost for his funeral is expected to be $40,000. They want to ensure that if one of them dies, the other will have enough money to pay off the car, home, and credit card bills, and fund the cost of their funerals and burial. They also want to make su that Gidget is provided for, which means they want $2,000/month for her care until she is age 23. They are uncertain whether social security will provide any benefits, as they are convinced that right-wing, zealots will take benefits away from those raised in alternative family situations, so don't plan on any social security income.

Using each of the three methods (Human Life Replacement, Needs Approach, and Capital Re how much life insurance will Ace and Gary EACH need?
