Use both predictors. From the previous two exercises, we conclude that year and soybean may be useful together in a model for predicting corn yield. Run this multiple regression.

a)       Explain the results of the ANOVA F test. Give the null and alternate hypothesis, test statistic with degrees of freedom, and p-value. What do you conclude?

b)      What percent of the variation in corn yield in explained by these two variables? Compare it with the percent explained in the previous simple linear regression models.

c)       State the regression model. Why do the coefficients for year and soybean differ from those in the previous exercises?

d)      Summarize the significance test results for the regression coefficients for year and soybean yield.

e)      Give a 95% confidence interval for each of these coefficients.

f)        Plot the residual versus year and soybean yield. What do you conclude?

This question requires the use of the Excel file ‘Assignment 3 Data’ found on ACORN. In the file, you will find the annual returns for Enbridge Inc. (ENB) and the S&P/TSX Composite Index (which we will use for the market portfolio). All parts of this question are to be done in Excel with your results printed and submitted with the other questions in this assignment.

1. Use the data for each of ENB and the S&P/TSX Composite Index to find the historical 95% confidence interval of each. [10 points]

2. Plot the returns of the market against the returns of ENB. Add a trendline to the graph and determine the beta of the stock from your trendline. [5 points]

3. Determine the variance and average annual return of the market portfolio. [3 points]

4. Determine the correlation coefficient between the market portfolio and ENB. [3 points]

5. What is the calculated beta for ENB using the information derived from parts a, c, and d? How does this compare with your answer to part b? [2 points]

6. The current Government of Canada Benchmark 10 Year Bond Yield (which will be our risk-free rate) is 1.61%. What is the required return on ENB stock according to the CAPM? [2 points]

When it comes to making sound decisions an effective management information system acts as an important part of the process. To what extent would you agree with this perspective and why?

You must draw upon relevant theory, concepts and models and appropriate organisational examples.

In order to complete this task, you will need to consider as a first step the factors outlined in the course materials, referring as a start to the lessons on Introduction and the Role of Business Analysis in Organisations and add relevant external academic sources to your answer.

A university is concerned about the presence of grade​ inflation, which is defined as an increase in the average GPA of the​ institution's students over time without a comparable increase in academic standards. To investigate this​ phenomenon, the average GPA for the student body was recorded over the past 11 ​years, as shown in the table to the right. Construct a 99​% confidence interval for the regression slope

What are health disparities? What are health inequities? What’s the difference, if any?

Birth outcomes, like other health indicators, follow the wealth-health gradient. Explain why wealthier and more educated mothers have better outcomes. According to the film, why do African American women at each income level have worse outcomes than their white counterparts?

How are pregnancy outcomes affected by racism and chronic stress? How are racial differences in birth outcomes not reducible to class alone?

As we wrap up our course in principle of managerial accounting, I would like you to discuss how this class could be relevant to your future professional careers. Many of you won't become professional accountants, but there are many concepts that you could see again in your careers. Please take a minimum of 2 paragraphs and discuss at least 2 significant concepts that you have learned that not only caught your attention, but also could be very valuable to take with you as you complete your academic program and enter the business world.

Suppose that you are working as part of a team designing a network for XYZ high school. Consider that the school has six departments, Admin, Academic, Human Resource (HR), Finance, IT support and Sports.

1. Analyse the project hardware requirements along with the number of devices and cost. [3 Marks]

2. Justify the approach you would be taking to design the network for the school. [3 Marks]

3. Using the network simulator (such as packet tracer) design the network. [4 Marks]

4. Illustrate the network configuration you have used. [5 Marks]
