Consider a senior Statistics concentrator with a packed extracurricular schedule, taking five classes, and writing a thesis. Each time she takes an exam, she either scores very well (a least two standard deviations above the mean) or does not. Her performance on any given exam depends on whether she is operating on a reasonable amount of sleep the night before (more than 7 hours), relatively little sleep(between 4-7 hours, inclusive), or practically no sleep (less than 4 hours). When she has had practically no sleep, she scores very well about 30% of the time. When she has had relatively little sleep, she scores very well 40% of the time. When she has had a reasonable amount of sleep, she scores very well 42% of the time. Over the course of a semester, she has a reasonable amount of sleep 50% of nights and practically no sleep 30% of nights. What is her overall probability of scoring very well on an exam? What is the probability she had practically no sleep the night before an exam where she scored very well? Suppose that one day she has three exams scheduled. What is the probability that she scores very well on exactly two of the exams, under the assumption that her performance on each exam is independent of her performance on another exam? What is the probability that she had practically no sleep the night prior to a day when she scored very well on exactly two out of three scams?

Let two shares A and B, which in the last six weeks show the returns shown in the table below.

A) Calculate the average return of shares A and B for the period of 6 weeks, using the arithmetic mean.
B) Assuming that there is a portfolio that includes the 2 shares in equal percentages (50% - 50%), what is the average return of the portfolio?
C) Calculate the risk (standard deviation) of shares A and B. Which share do you consider more dangerous based on the criterion of the coefficient of variation (CV)?

D) Participate in a retirement plan which gives you the following options for how to collect your pension.
1st choice: Annual installments of 11,000 euros for 20 years.
2nd option: Payment of 500,000 euros at the end of the investment horizon, ie in 0 years.
Knowing that the nominal interest rate is equal to 7%, evaluate the two investments.

(Note: This type of decision is similar to dropping a product line.) Nicholas Company manufactures a fast-bonding glue, normally producing and selling 46,000 litres of the glue each month. This glue, which is known as MJ-7, is used in the wood industry to manufacture plywood. The selling price of MJ-7 is $40 per litre, variable costs are $24 per litre, fixed manufacturing overhead costs in the plant total $264,500 per month, and the fixed selling costs total $354,200 per month.

     Strikes in the mills that purchase the bulk of the MJ-7 glue have caused Nicholas Company’s sales to temporarily drop to only 11,500 litres per month. Nicholas Company’s management estimates that the strikes will last for two months, after which sales of MJ-7 should return to normal. Due to the current low level of sales, Nicholas Company’s management is thinking about closing down the plant during the strike.

     If Nicholas Company does close down the plant, fixed manufacturing overhead costs can be reduced by $69,000 per month and fixed selling costs can be reduced by 10%. Start-up costs at the end of the shutdown period would total $16,840. Since Nicholas Company uses lean production methods, no inventories are on hand.

Required:
1-a. Assuming that the strikes continue for two months, compute the increase or decrease in income from closing the plant.

2. At what level of sales (in litres) for the two-month period should Nicholas Company be indifferent between closing the plant and keeping it open? (Hint: This is a type of break-even analysis, except that the fixed-cost portion of your break-even computation should include only those fixed costs that are relevant (i.e., avoidable) over the two-month period.)

This lab examines the various ways of working with arrays by writing pseudocode. Read the following programming problem prior to completing the lab.

The American Red Cross wants you to write a program that will calculate the average pints of blood donated during a blood drive. The program should take in the number of pints donated during the drive, based on a seven-hour drive period. The average pints donated during that period should be calculated and displayed. Additionally, the highest and the lowest number of pints donated should be determined and displayed. Write a loop around the program to run multiple times.

Step 1: Declare the following:

• A global named constant MAX_HOURS with a value 7
• A local array named pints of the data type Real of size MAX_HOURS
• A local variable named averagePints of the data type Real
• A local variable named highPints of the data type Real
• A local variable named lowPints of the data type Real

// Declare global named constant below

____________________________________

Module main()

     //Declare local variables

     Declare String again = “yes”

     ____________________________________

     ____________________________________

     ____________________________________

     ____________________________________

     While again == “yes”

           // module calls below to be completed

           // in the next few steps

           Display “Do you want to run again (yes or no)? ”

           Input again

     End While

End Module

Step 2: Write a module call to a module named getPints that passes the pints array and the number of hours. Additionally, write a module header named getPints that accepts the pints array and number of hours.

//Module call

Call ______________(______________, MAX_HOURS)

//Module header

Module __________(Real __________[ ] , Integer hours)

Step 3: Write a for loop inside module getPints that runs specified times using the counter variable and the two parameters. Inside the for loop, allow the user to enter values into the array.

                        Declare Integer counter = 0

           For __________________ = 0 to hours - 1

                Display “Enter pints collected:”

                Input ___________[_________]

           End For

Step 4: Write a function call to a module named getAverage that passes the pints array and the number of hours. Additionally, write a function header named getAverage that accepts the pints array and the hours variable.

//Function call

Set averagePints = _____________(_____________, MAX_HOURS)

//Function header

Function _________(Real ______________[ ], Integer hours)

Step 5: Write a for loop inside function getAverage that runs hours times using the counter variable. Inside the for loop, total up the values of the array and store in the variable totalPints. Also, return the correct variable from the function.   

            Declare Integer counter

     Declare Real totalPints = 0

     Declare Real averagePints

     For __________________ = 0 to _______________

           Set _________ = ________ + ______________[________]

     End For

Set averagePints = ________________ / _________________

     Return _________________

Step 6: Write a function call to a module named getHigh that passes the pints array and the number of hours. Additionally, write a function header named getHigh that accepts the pints array and the hours variable.

//Function call

Set highPints = ____________(______________, ___________)

//Function header

Function ______ _______( Real ________[ ], Integer _____)

Step 7: Write the code that will determine the highest value in an array. Also, return the correct variable from the function.   

Declare Integer index

Declare Real highest = pints[________]

For index = 1 to _____________

     If _______________[_______] > highest Then

           Set ____________ = __________[_______]

     End If

End For

Return ______________________

Step 8: Write a function call to a module named getLow that passes the pints array and the number of hours. Additionally, write a function header named getLow that accepts the pints array and the hours variable.

//Function call

Set lowPints = ____________(______________, ___________)

//Function header

Function ______ _______( Real ________[ ], Integer _____)

Step 9: Write the code that will determine the lowest value in an array. Also, return the correct variable from the function. This function is very similar to getHigh function.

     _______________________________________________________

     _______________________________________________________

     _______________________________________________________

     _______________________________________________________

     _______________________________________________________

Step 10: Write a module call to a module named displayInfo. Pass the necessary variable to the functions that are needed to display the averagePints, the highPints, and the lowPints. Also, write the module header that accepts the same variables. Although pseudocode for this module is not required, but feel free to set it up.

            //Module call

Call displayInfo(______________, ___________, ___________)

//Module header

Module ________(Real ________, Real ________, Real _______)

Nicole is aged 38 and Keith is aged 42. Nicole works a stay-at home mum whilst Keith runs his own marketing business from an inner suburban office, which produces an average net profit of $150,000 before tax. They have two sons, aged 5 and 8 whom they expect will remain dependent until age 21 at which time the living expenses will decrease by $13,000 p.a. for each child when they leave home. They own their own house worth $950,000, which is subject to a mortgage of $375,000. They also have an outstanding credit card debt of $6,000. Both Nicole and Keith own their own cars. The couple’s living expenses total $84,000 p.a. including payment of a $27,600 p.a. annual mortgage payment. The couple would like to send the children to a private school from years 9 – 12 which is expected to cost $160,000 in total. In event of death of either Nicole or Keith, they estimate death and medical expenses to cost around $12,000. Keith currently has life cover of $150,000 in his superannuation fund (his current superannuation fund balance is $225,000) whilst Nicole has no life cover, also they have no other personal insurances. Keith’s father passed away recently at age 67 as a result of heart disease, which seems to be a historical problem in Keith’s family.

List the potential risks faced by the couple in terms of their assets and income
