The color distribution of plain M&M’s varies by the factory in which they were made. The Hackettstown, New Jersey plant uses the following color distribution for plain M&M’s: 12.5% red, 25% orange, 12.5% yellow, 12.5% green, 25% blue, and 12.5% brown. Each piece of candy in a random sample of 100 plain M&M’s from the Hackettstown factory was classified according to color, and the results are listed below. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the Hackettstown factory color distribution is correct. Describe method used for calculating answer.
| color | red | orange | yellow | green | blue | brown |
| number | 11 | 28 | 20 | 9 | 20 | 12 |
(a) Identify the appropriate hypothesis test and explain the reasons why it is appropriate for analyzing this data.
(b) Identify the null hypothesis and the alternative hypothesis.
(c) Determine the test statistic. (Round your answer to two decimal places)
(d) Determine the p-value. (Round your answer to two decimal places)
(e) Compare p-value and significance level ?. What decision should be made regarding the null hypothesis (e.g., reject or fail to reject) and why?
(f) Is there sufficient evidence to support the claim that the Hackettstown factory color distribution is correct? Justify your answer.

The Federal Reserve has a variety of responsibilities and goals. Choose one of these responsibilities or goals and explain it in more detail (e.g. explain what it means to be a "lender of last resort"). Finally, give your opinion on whether the Federal Reserve should have that responsibility or goal, and whether their authority over that responsibility or goal should be expanded, diminished or remain as it is and explain why. Include a detailed and accurate application of one or more of the concepts regarding the federal reserve responsibilities and goals.

Straight wooden rod of mass 6.0 kg, uniform cross-section 7 cm2, and constant density 700 kg has a very small mass 0.8 kg attached to its one end. The rod is partially submerged in water of density 990kg/m3. While in equilibrium, the rod floats in a vertical position with large part of it submerged. The rod is then pushed down by distance ymax from equilibrium and released resulting in its oscillation neat the surface of teh water.
(Assuming no drag forces are acting in this situation) and taking g to be 9.8 m/s2
A) Use the first principles to demonstrate that such system can be treated as Simple Harmonic Oscillator. ( Paper solution!!!)
B) Find the rod's period of oscillations to the nearest thousandth of a second.
( Enter this value into the answer box without units).
In addition to entering your final numerical answer into the box, make sure that you write your solution neatly starting with the clear diagram and all variables on it.
Solve this problem in detail on paper. Please annotate your solution -- make short comments/ arguments for steps you are making.

Use the following information: n_1=35,x ̅_1=5,s_1=3,n_2=32,x ̅_2=7,s_2=5 Test whether the score variance for the first population is significantly different from that of the second population at the significant level α=0.05, to do so: State null and alternative hypotheses. Compute the test-value. Find the critical value. Make your decision and explain the reason. Use the result part (a) for assumption on variance of two populations, test whether the second population mean is greater the first one at the level α=0.05, to do so state, The list of assumptions. Null and alternative hypotheses. Compute the test-value. Find the critical value. Make your decision and explain the reason.
