1.Now state legislators want to make predictions about how changes in consumers’ budgets will impact their consumption behavior. If school supplies and salty snacks are both normal goods with school supplies on the x-axis of the graph and salty snacks on the y-axis, explain how a decrease in consumers’ budgets would impact the consumption of school supplies and salty snacks.
c)If the state legislature is considering giving people gift certificates for school supplies, what considerations about the impact of gift certificates on people’s utility should they understand in comparison to an equivalent cash gift?

Twenty years ago, 56% of parents of children in high school felt it was a serious problem that high school students were not being taught enough math and science. A recent survey found that 295 of 750 parents of children in high school felt it was a serious problem that high school students were not being taught enough math and science. Do parents feel differently today than they did twenty years ago? Use the α=0.01 level of significance.
Find the P-value.
P-value=__________
(Round to three decimal places as needed.)

What is your dream school for completing your undergraduate degree? Let's assume for a moment that you received an admission letter from that school. However, you also realize that tuition and fees are extremely high.
Would you accept the invitation to study at your dream school? Why
or why not?
Also, bring an example when you got deterred to purchase an item because the price was too high. What does this mean in terms of elasticity? What reasons made you decided not to buy the item?

In a recent survey, it was found that 118 out of 500 randomly selected junior high school students enjoyed their math class the most. It was also found that 192 out of 1000 randomly selected high school students enjoyed their math class the most. Test the hypothesis that the percentage of junior high school students who enjoy their math class the most is different than the percentage of high school students who enjoy their math class the most. Use the α = 0.01 level of significance. The P-value is __, rounded to the nearest ten-thousandth.

1The state of Rhode Island is considering taking action to reduce health and climate change risks associated with diesel powered school buses by replacing them with electric school buses.
If you were to do a Cost Benefit Analysis of a policy that incentivizes Lisbon' school districts to purchase electric school buses, what would be considered the status quo (purchase) in your analysis.
a)What alternative to the electric school bus policy in 7 would you consider in your analysis? How many alternatives would you be able to consider? Why?
B)If you were doing the analysis from a state of Rhode Island viewpoint and your state received a federal grant to aid with the adoption incentive, how would you account for this grant? A benefit, cost, no impact?

Benton County includes an independent school district and two individually chartered towns within the County. Benton County's Treasurer assesses and collects property taxes on behalf itself, the school district, and towns. The County uses a tax collection custodian fund to record tax collections for the school district and towns. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the following transactions took place:
1. The County levied taxes as followed:
Bebton County General Fund $25,000,000
School District 12,500,000
Towns 2,500,000
Total $40,000,000
2. The property taxes levied in part (a) were collected.
3. The amounts collected were paid to the school district and towns.
Required:
a. Prepare journal entries for Benton County and the Benton County Independent School District - identify the funds.
b. Will tax collection funds typically report a non-zero net position? Explain.
c. Are there other custodial funds that typically report a positive net position? Give an example.

10. The Westchester County Superintendent of Education is responsible for assigning students to the three magnet high schools in her county. She recognizes the need to bus a certain number of students, for several sectors of the county are beyond walking distance to a magnet school. The superintendent partitions the county into five geographic sectors as she attempts to establish a plan that will minimize the total number of student miles traveled by bus. She also recognizes that if a student happens to live in a certain sector and is assigned to the magnet high school in that sector, there is no need to bus him/her since he/she can walk to school. The three magnet schools are located in sectors B, C, and E. The accompanying table reflects the number of magnet high-school-age students living in each sector and the distance in miles from each sector to each school. Each Magnet High School has a capacity of 900 students. Set up the objective function and constraints of this problem, and solve using MS Excel. this question was answered need solver help

Given specified circumstances of an employment relationship, determine the circumstances under which an employer is liable to an employee for employment discrimination or wrongful discharge.
FACTS: Minnie and Daisy both sue the School of Prof Arts and Professor Goofy for discrimination and further, for liability for their injuries (the stabbing damages Minnie's son sustained when Professor Goofy did not stop a fight and the damages to Daisy’s son’s health from watching the stabbing.) You are one of the board of directors for the School of Prof Arts and you need to analyze the liability of Professor Goofy, and any liability the School of Prof Arts has to Professor Goofy. Professor Goofy claims his firing was illegal because it was based on his being a convicted felon. His contract with the School of Prof Arts provides him with defense coverage for any acts he takes while working for the School of Prof Arts. Limit your answer to Professor Goofy's liability and the School of Prof Arts's liability to Professor Goofy for any illegal firing.

To further examine the school performance scores of the district, the superintendent identified schools within the district that could be matched to schools from surrounding districts using a series of demographic characteristics such as size, socio-economic status, and percent special education students. The data that were collected are presented below. School Pair 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Superintendent School 70 73 70 73 82 72 70 82 75 Matched School 70 69 71 73 87 67 70 69 78 Verses School Pair 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 Superintendent School 75 82 88 74 79 65 74 Matched School 68 85 87 66 79 61 61 1. What are the mean school performance scores for the superintendent’s district and matched schools? 2. What are the standard deviations of the school performance scores for the superintendent’s district and matched schools? 3. State an appropriate null hypothesis for this analysis. 4. What is the observed or computed value of t? 5. What is the value of the degrees of freedom that are reported in the output? 6. What is the reported level of significance from the T Test for Dependent Means? 7. Based on the results of the T Test for Dependent Means, what would you conclude about the difference in scores of schools in the superintendent’s district and the matched schools? 8. Present the results as they might appear in an article. This must include a table and narrative statement that reports the results of the T Test for Dependent Means.
