4. A random sample of 860 births at St. Jude’s Hospital included 426 boys. The national proportion of newborn boy babies is 51.2%. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that the proportion of newborn boy babies at this hospital is different than the national average.
a. Draw a normal curve for the sampling distribution for samples of size 860 births. Label the mean and the values for one, two and three standard deviations above and below the mean.

During their vacation, the Baldwin Family hired contractors to repaint their house. One warm afternoon, fire broke out on one side of the house and the house burned to the ground. The painters had left linseed oil soaked rags out near the house, which they had been using to finish the wood deck. An arson investigator was sent out to investigate whether the fire could have been deliberately set. How could the lab technician determine whether the fire was accidental (or not)? Clearly describe what kinds of samples would need to be collected and what kind of chromatographic analysis would need to be 5 performed. Discuss the type of columns, standards and detectors you would use and what type(s) of compounds the analyst would seek to analyze given the information above. Hint: Do not ignore the linseed oil soaked rags.

MakeNu Mortgage Company is offering a new mortgage instrument
called the Stable Mortgage. This mortgage is composed of both a
fixed rate and an adjustable rate component. Mrs. Maria Perez is
interested in financing a property, which costs $100,000, and is to
be financed by Stable Home Mortgages (SHM) on the following
terms:
The SHM requires a 5% down payment, costs the borrower 2 discount
points, and allows 75% of the mortgage to be fixed and 25% to be
adjustable. The fixed portion of the loan is for 30 years at an
annual interest rate of 10.5%. With neither interest rate cap nor
payment cap, the adjustable portion is also for 30 years with the
following terms: Initial interest rate = 9% Index = one-year
Treasuries Payments reset each year Margin = 2% Interest rate cap =
None Payment cap = None
The projected one-year U.S. Treasury-bill index, to which the ARM
is tied, is as follows: (BOY) 2 = 10% (BOY) 3 = 11% (BOY) 4 = 8%
(BOY) 5 = 12%
(a) Calculate Mrs. Perez’s total monthly payment s and end of the
year loan balances for the first five years.
(b) Calculate the lender’s yield, assuming Mrs. Perez repays the loan after five-years.

A 62.0-kg boy and his 36.0-kg sister, both wearing roller blades, face each other at rest. The girl pushes the boy hard, sending him backward with a velocity 3.10 m/s toward the west. Ignore friction.
(a) Describe the subsequent motion of the girl.
She will move west, in the same direction as her brother, with a speed 3.10 m/s.She will move east, directly away from her brother with a speed 6.89 m/s. She will move east, directly away from her brother with a speed 5.34 m/s.She will move east, directly away from her brother with a speed 1.55 m/s.
(b) How much potential energy in the girl's body is converted into
mechanical energy of the boy–girl system?
J
(c) Is the momentum of the boy–girl system conserved in the
pushing-apart process?
YesNo
(d) If so, explain how that is possible considering there are large
forces acting. (If momentum is not conserved, enter "Momentum is
not conserved.")
This answer has not been graded yet.
(e) If so, explain how that is possible considering there is no
motion beforehand and plenty of motion afterward. (If momentum is
not conserved, enter "Momentum is not conserved.")

Using Linux in VirtualBox Do the Following Exercise:
Using the clear command
At this point, you screen might seem filled with commands and their results. Use the clear command anytime you want a clean slate. This exercise enables you to clear the screen now.
To clear the screen:
Viewing manual pages
You can use the manual pages to learn more about a command or program (if the program is documented in the manual pages). In addition, the whatis command provides a quick summary of specific command and programs. You use both the man and whatis command in this exercise. The database for the whatis command should already be created prior to using the command.
To display online help using man:
To display a brief description of a command with the whatis command:
Editing command-line input
[Do all 11 steps, but there is no need to record the output for your report.]
Entering multiple commands
You can execute multiple commands on one command line by using a semicolon between commands. You will practice running multiple commands in this assignment.
To enter multiple commands on the command line:
Using command history
In this assignment, you will use the command history capability of the Bash shell to recall commands you have used earlier. As you’ll discover the more you use Linux, this command can save a lot of time otherwise spent on repeated typing.
To use the command-line history:
Changing your password
Your password is your means to protect your user account from others who might attempt to access it without your authorization. Plan to change your password often to keep your account secure. In this assignment, you will learn how to change your password.
To change your password:
[Do steps 1-4, but there is no need to record the output for your report.]
Using the cat command
The cat command has several purposes, but one of the most commonly used is to view the contents of a file. For example, in this assignment, you use the cat command to view a file called shells that resides in the /etc directory. This file contains a list of valid shell programs available through Linux.
To use cat to view the shell’s file:
Redirecting command-line output to a file
You already used the who command to find out who is logged in to the computer. In this assignment, you will use the same command with the > redirection symbol to save this information in a text file.
To save a file that lists the persons logged into the system:
Redirecting calendar output to a file
You can also use the redirection symbol with the cal command to save a calendar in a text file. For example, assume that you are involved in a development project with a projected deadline in the year 2018. You can save the calendar in a text file.
To save the year 2018 calendar in a file.
[Do steps 1-3, but there is no need to record the output for your report.]
Creating a new file with information you type in
As you work with Linux, suppose you remember that your instructor asked you to complete a few tasks by the end of the week. In this project, you will create a notes file to serve as a task reminder using the cat command with the > redirection symbol.
To create a new file:
After you create the notes file, let’s say you remember that your instructor also asked you to complete another task. You can append this second reminder to the existing notes file. You also want to include the appropriate monthly calendar in the file for reference.
To add information to an existing file:

CAPITAL BUDGETING
Wells printing is considering the purchase of a new printing press. The total installed cost of the press is $2.2 million.This outlay will be partially offset by the sale of an existing press. The old press has zero net book value, cost $1milion ten years ago and can be sold currently for $0,2 million before taxes..As a result of acquiring the new press, sales in each of the next five years are expected to increase by $1.6 million but product costs, excluding depreciation will represented 50% of sales. The new press will require that creditors be upped by $400 000 and debtors increase by $600 000. The new press will also be depreciated using a straight line method to a residual value of $300 000 but will only fetch $250 000 on the market. Investing in such assets attracts a Special Initial Allowance (SIA) of 25% of the installed cost to be spread equally over the useful life of the asset. The firm is subject to 35% tax rate on both ordinary income and capital gains. Wells Printing cost of capital is 13%. Assume that depreciation is tax deductible
