Creation of the FDIC encouraged reluctant depositors to put their money into the banking system. a) Aside from the benefit of reducing the probability of bank runs, what other positive impact has this policy had in the performance of the overall economy? b) How could higher deposit insurance premiums for banks with riskier assets benefit the economy?

After death, metabolism shuts down and ATP runs out. As a result, calcium pumps at the sarcoplasmic reticulum stop, so Ca⁺² ions diffuse out into the sarcoplasm.   Produce a diagram describing the contraction cycle and use it to explain what will be the consequence of a sudden calcium increase in the absence of ATP for the muscles of this person’s body?

A model rocket blasts off from the ground, rising straight upward with a constant acceleration that has a magnitude of 91.3 m/s2 for 1.79 seconds, at which point its fuel abruptly runs out. Air resistance has no effect on its flight. What maximum altitude (above the ground) will the rocket reach?

How can I write a Python program that runs without crashing even though it has an error that a compiler would have caught and how can I write a Java program that crashes even after the compiler checked it. Please add comments that explain the problem, the outcome, and what this proves in both of the programs.

A new metropolitan initiative is promoting car pooling. A study was conducted with one-way commuting distances of workers in a large downtown metropolitan area. A random sample of 50 workers was taken. Below are the recorded distances for the workers from the study.

Use six classes and start the first class with a lower class boundary of 1. Develop a frequency distribution and a percentage distribution.

Suppose that two polluting firms have marginal abatement costs given by the following equations:

MAC1 = 50 – 5e1 and MAC2 = 40 – 4e2

where e1 and e2 are the emission levels of each firm respectively. The regulator’s goal is to reduce total pollution from the two firms to 8 units.

a) Suppose that the regulator requires that each firm reduce their emissions to 4 units (i.e. they use a uniform standard). Compute each firm’s total abatement costs under this uniform standard and show graphically.

b) Find the cost effective allocation of the 8 units of emissions to the two firms. Compute each firm’s total abatement costs under the cost effective allocation and show graphically.

c) Now, compare the results between parts a) and b). Which allocation of emissions (uniform or cost effective) does each firm prefer and why? Which allocation does society prefer and why?

Neurofibromatosis Type 1 (NF1) is a human genetic disorder. As well as physical symptoms, affected children often suffer from impaired cognition and learning. A cognitive task that involves solving a puzzle is administered to a group of children. For each child the time taken (in seconds) to solve the task is recorded. It is not known whether there is any suitable parametric model for the times so we will investigate non-parametric methods.

Carry out the Wilcoxon signed-rank test on these data to test the null hypothesis that the mean time to solve the puzzle for children with NF1 is the same as for healthy controls.

d) Calculate the value of the test statistic and give the approximate normal distribution of the test statistic under the null hypothesis.

e) Calculate the p-value for the test assuming a two-sided alternative hypothesis.

f) What do you conclude about the time taken by children with NF1 to solve the puzzle compared to healthy controls?

g) Describe in a few sentences how you would calculate a 95% confidence interval for the mean time without assuming any particular parametric model for the data. You do not need to calculate the interval.

The data below are the observed times ?? taken by 57 children with NF1.
