Explain why economic theory suggests that metropolitan areas with many school districts would be expected to have better educational outcomes than metropolitan areas with a single school district.

Suppose you want to determine the aggregate willingness to pay among students at your school or employees at your employer for increasing recycling at the school or workplace. How might you do this?

For some colleges, there are more applicants than there are openings. This requires colleges to implement a method for selecting students that utilizes criteria believed to predict how well a given student will perform in their college. For example, colleges will use a multiple regression equation that uses high school GPA, test score from the ACT or SAT (college entrance exams), and high school academic ranking (i.e., the quality of the high school) to predict how well a prospective student will do in their college. Describe at least 3 factors/variables you think colleges should use in selecting prospective students into their school. Your initial post must contain at least 10 sentences.

What questions, comments to you have about the experiences (150-250 Words)

My experience regarding love and intimate relationships is based on how I was raised by my family and traditions of American culture. Growing up, I always saw the family unit as a man and woman who made a commitment to each other, set goals together and would eventually have a family. Generationally, things are different now compared to when I married my husband. Today we have people identifying more with heterosexual, homosexual, bisexual, lesbian, gay, and transgender as well as interracial and interethnic relationships and marriages. Many girls dream about marrying someday, however, many people today are holding off getting married or choosing not to marry at all. When my husband and I chose to get married, we wanted to spend the rest of our lives making each other happy, have a family, and grow old together. We have watched our three children grow into amazing young adults and will be celebrating 25 years of marriage on New Years Day.

Children of a certain age in the nation have an average weight of 85 with a standard deviation of 9.5 lb. A complaint is made that children are improperly fed in a boarding school. As evidence, a sample of 14 children of the given age is taken from the boarding school with an average weight of 89.44 lb. What can be concluded with an α of 0.05?

a) What is the appropriate test statistic?
-na

z test

one sample t test

independent sample t test

related samples t test

b)
Population:
weight, boarding shcool, children in the nation, feeding method, or children from boarding school
Sample:
---Select---weight, boarding school, children in the nation, feeding method, or children from the boarding school

c) Obtain/compute the appropriate values to make a decision about H₀.
(Hint: Make sure to write down the null and alternative hypotheses to help solve the problem.)
critical value = ____; test statistic = __________
Decision: - Reject H0 or Fail to reject H0

d) If appropriate, compute the CI. If not appropriate, input "na" for both spaces below.
[ ____,_________ ]

e) Compute the corresponding effect size(s) and indicate magnitude(s).
If not appropriate, input and select "na" below.
d = ____; Select---na,trivial effect,small effect, medium effect,large effect
r² = ______;  ---Select---na, trivial effect, small effect, medium effect, large effect

f) Make an interpretation based on the results.

a.The weight of children in the boarding school was significantly higher than the weight of children in the nation. The b.weight of children in the boarding school was significantly lower than the weight of children in the nation.     The c.weight of children in the boarding school was not significantly different than the weight of children in the nation.

A client, Todd Jones, has told you that he has heard that a Section 529 account could help him save for his daughter's education expenses. He is interested in saving not only for her college costs but also the costs of her attending a private high school. Todd is a New York State resident. Write a memorandum to your client explaining how Section 529 accounts work, including the Federal and New York State tax benefits of establishing and funding such an account. Also explain the changes made to Section 529 plans enacted by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017.

The paper should be 1½ to 2 pages in length (typed, double space), plus an additional page containing a bibliography of articles/sources consulted in writing your paper.
