Assignment: For this assignment you’ll be designing a program which can take the input of a decimal number and a numerical base, and convert the decimal number to that base. For example, if given the decimal number seven and the base two, your program should output it as 111, which is how seven is represented in binary. Another example, 8,943 in base 10, is 13,236 in base 9.

You’ll need to perform these operations on the following combinations:

A: 15, base 2.

B: 38, base 16.

C: 54, base 6.

D: 19, base 8.

E: 27, base 3.

A company that produces and markets video game systems wishes to assess its customers' level of satisfaction with a relatively new model, the XYZ-Box. In the six months since the introduction of the model, the company has received 73,219 warranty registrations from purchasers. The company will select a random sample of 65 of these registrations and will conduct telephone interviews with the purchasers. Specifically, each purchaser will be asked to state his or her level of agreement with each of the seven statements listed on the survey instrument given in the following table.. Here, the level of agreement for each statement is measured on a 7-point Likert scale. Purchaser satisfaction will be measured by adding the purchaser’s responses to the seven statements. It follows that for each consumer the minimum composite score possible is 7 and the maximum is 49. Furthermore, experience has shown that a purchaser of a video game system is “very satisfied” if his or her composite score is at least 42.

Suppose that when the 65 customers are interviewed, their composite scores are as given in the following table.

Using the data, estimate limits between which most of the 73,219 composite scores would fall. Also, estimate the proportion of the 73,219 composite scores that would be at least 42. (Round your proportion of scores answer to 2 decimal places.)

Sesnie Corporation has found that 60​% of its sales in any given month are credit​ sales, while the remainder are cash sales. Of the credit​ sales, Sesnie Corporation has experienced the following collection​ pattern: 25% received in the month of the sale 50% received in the month after the sale 18% received two months after the sale 7% of the credit sales are never received November sales for last year were $ 80,000​, while December sales were $ 110,000. Projected sales for the next three months are as​ follows: January sales $145,000 February sales $130,000 March sales $195,000 Requirement Prepare a cash collections budget for the first​ quarter, with a column for each month and for the quarter. ​(Round your answers to the nearest whole​ dollar.) Sesnie Corporation Cash Collections Budget For the Months of January through March January Cash sales Collections on credit sales: 25% Month of sale 50% Month after 18% Two months after Total cash collections

Iconic memory is a type of memory that holds visual information for about half a second (0.5 seconds). To demonstrate this type of memory, participants were shown three rows of four letters for 50 milliseconds. They were then asked to recall as many letters as possible, with a 0-, 0.5-, or 1.0-second delay before responding. Researchers hypothesized that longer delays would result in poorer recall. The number of letters correctly recalled is given in the table.

(a) Complete the F-table. (Round your values for MS and F to two decimal places.)

(b) Compute Tukey's HSD post hoc test and interpret the results. (Assume alpha equal to 0.05. Round your answer to two decimal places.)

The critical value is for each pairwise comparison.

Which of the comparisons had significant differences? (Select all that apply.)

Recall following no delay was significantly different from recall following a one second delay. The null hypothesis of no difference should be retained because none of the pairwise comparisons demonstrate a significant difference. Recall following no delay was significantly different from recall following a half second delay. Recall following a half second delay was significantly different from recall following a one second delay.
