2. The new mayor of a Midwestern city has developed a list of administration goals and objectives for the city: (a) establish effective government by incorporating improved information systems and management practices; (b) improve intergovernmental cooperation for more cost-effective service delivery; (c) build public support for administration priorities through two-way communication; (d) make timely investments in roads, utilities, sewers, parks, and alternative transportation systems to encourage responsible growth and sustain a healthy economy; (e) maintain and improve the city as a place where people can live and work without fear; (f) protect the community’s natural assets and enhance environmental quality; (g) work to improve the economic health of the city in an equitable manner for all citizens; (h) support and facilitate access to basic social services for all citizens; (i) establish a customer-driven city workplace; and (j) maintain and improve park services and facilities. Use this statement to structure both a program budget format and a new performance budget format for the city. For the latter, identify measurable performance indicators.

A researcher wished to compare the average daily hotel room rates between San Francisco and Los Angeles. The researcher obtained an SRS of 15 hotels in downtown San Francisco and found the sample mean ? ̅1=$156, with a standard deviation ?_1= $15. The researcher also obtained an independent SRS of 10 hotels in downtown Los Angeles and found the sample mean ? ̅_2= $143, with a standard deviation ?_2= $10. Let 1 and 2 represent the mean cost of the populations of all hotels in these cities, respectively. Assume the two-sample t procedures are safe to use, i.e. Unequal Variances. a)Suppose the researcher had wished to test the hypotheses H0: µ1 = µ2 vs. Ha: µ1 ≠ µ2 at the 5% significance level (i.e., α = 0.05). The numerical value of the two-sample t statistic is? b)What is your P-value? c)What are your statistical conclusion and its interpretation? Use significance level, α = 0.05 (or 5%

. d)Based on your P-value and conclusion in (b) and (c), will you conclude that a 99% confidence interval for µ1 - µ2 includes the value 0? Explain.

A long, thin solenoid has 600 turns per meter and radius 2.6 cm. The
current in the solenoid is increasing at a uniform rate dI/dt. The induced
electric eld at a point near the center of the solenoid and 3.80 cm from
its axis is 8.00 10 -5 V/m. Calculate dI/dt

2. Why is it useful to have mechanisms for direct cell to cell communication and for long distance communication with cells not near each other?

3. Why would bacterial cells need to communicate with each other? What is the advantage? Find an example bacteria that communicate and how do they communicate?

please answer both questions

White light falls in, near the normal direction, against a thin oil film lying on a glass plate. Two colors with wavelengths of 525nm and 650nm clearly dominate the reflected light. Assume that the refractive index of the oil is 1.25 and the refractive index of the glass is 1.5.

Determine the thickness of the film and the order of interference for the dominant colors.

One positive and one negative charges identical in magnitude are place near each other. At halfway between the two charges...

All else equal, firms with higher leverage (D/E ratio) tend to have higher betas. However, when firms are heavily levered (near the “zone of insolvency” or bankruptcy), their betas tend to drop significantly. Without mentioning anything about the equation for beta, briefly explain why this phenomenon might occur.

This is really a business ethics question

Some would say that given the rash of ethical scandals in the last 20 years, that ethical business behavior is waning. Given what you now know about corporate governance, do you think that ethics will be more or less important to business in the near future? In the distant future?

For those fortunate souls who do not need glasses, the lens of the eye adjusts its focal length in order to form a proper image on the retina. This typically means that very distant objects as well as objects as close as 25 cm can be seen clearly. Many of us need corrective lenses since the lens in our eye cannot adjust sufficiently to produce a clear image over the full range object distances. This may be because the lens itself does not adjust well or because the eye is either longer or shorter than ‘normal’. In the case of someone who is nearsighted (can see up close) the eye may only be able to see clearly items up to 50cm or 1m away (this would be the far point). In order to see something further away, a lens (either glasses or contacts) is used to produce a virtual image of a distant object at the person’s far point. Their eye can then accommodate the rest of the way and produce a clear image. Suppose a person who has a far point of 63.0 cm is trying to view a distant object. What is the focal length (with correct sign) of a lens that would take a distant object and make an image on the same side of the lens as the object a distance 63.0 cm from the lens? Incorrect.

Is the lens converging or diverging?

Lenses are prescribed in terms of their refractive power, which is expressed in terms of diopters (see the text or your favorite search engine for the definition of a diopter). What is the refractive power of this lens in terms of diopters? (do not enter units.)

In the case of someone who is farsighted, the eye is not able to focus clearly on objects closer than a certain distance. This closest point on which a person’s eye can focus is called the near point. In this situation the corrective lens is used to make an object closer than the near point produce an image further away from the lens at the near point. Suppose a person who has a near point of 53.1 cm is trying to view a book at a distance of 25.0 cm. What is the focal length (with correct sign) of a lens that would take the book and make an image on the same side of the lens as the book a distance 53.1 cm from the lens?
