Suppose the correlation between first year GPA and second year GPA is 0.7. Assuming a close to linear relationship between GPAs in first year and in second year, what is the approximate average z-score in second year of students who had a z-score of 1.5 in their first-year GPA?

What is the average first-year z-score of students who have a z-score of 1.5 in their second-year GPA?

It seems that, on average, students who do well in first year do better than average in second year but not quite as well as they did in first year. And students who do better than average in second year did, on average, better than average in first year but not quite as well as they did in second year. Whichever way you go, from first year to second year, or from second year to first year, it looks like the grades are getting closer to the average.

Is this a contradiction? Is there an explanation for it? If you need a diagram to help explain it, go ahead a draw one

suppose that Ramos contributes $5000/year into a traditional IRA earning interest at the rate of 2%/year compounded annually, every year after age 37 until his retirement at age 67. At the same time, his wife Vanessa deposits $3500/year (the amount after paying taxes at the rate of 30%) into a Roth IRA earning interest at the same rate as that of Ramos. Suppose that Ramos withdraws his investment upon retirement at age 67 and that his investment is then taxed at 30%. (Round your answers to the nearest cent.)

(a) How much will Ramos's investment be worth (after taxes) at that time? $

(b) How much will Vanessa's investment be worth at that time? $

Find the corporate yield spread if the 8-year Treasury rate is 3% and the 8-year corporate bond rate is 8%.

Nurses Pay is $80K/year and Physician Pay is $300K/year. The clinic is running with 2 physicians at a physician to nurse factor input ratio of 0.2. However, there is an increase in physician pay to $330K/year. The firm will now run with 1 physician with the physician to nurse factor input ratio of 0.072. In addition, please also calculate savings with the new factor input ratio. Then calculate the elasticity of substitution. What can you say about the type of service provided by this clinic? Please explain.a

In its first year of existence (year 1), SCC corporation (a C corporation) reported a loss for tax purposes of $30,000. How much tax will SCC pay in year 2 if it reports taxable income from operations of $20,000 before considering loss carryovers under the following assumptions? (New Corporate income tax rate has been mentioned as "21% on all taxable income" as per the recent change. Leave no answer blank. Enter zero if applicable.)

b. Year 1 is 2018. What is SCC Tax Liability in Year 2?

A student at a four-year college claims that average enrollment at four-year colleges is higher than at two-year colleges in the United States. Two surveys are conducted. Of the 35 two-year colleges surveyed, the average enrollment was 5061 with a standard deviation of 4775. Of the 35 four-year colleges surveyed, the average enrollment was 5216 with a standard deviation of 8101. Conduct a hypothesis test at the 5% level.

NOTE: If you are using a Student's t-distribution for the problem, including for paired data, you may assume that the underlying population is normally distributed. (In general, you must first prove that assumption, though.)

1) State the distribution to use for the test. (Enter your answer in the form z or t_df where df is the degrees of freedom. Round your answer to two decimal places.)

2) What is the test statistic? (T or Z) & (Round your answer to two decimal places.)

3) What is the p-value? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

4) Alpha: α =
