4) Educators introduce a new math curriculum and measure 45 students' scores before and at the end of the academic year using an exam widely believed to accurately measure students' understanding. The average score at the start the year was 65%, and after was 75%.
a) In words, what are the null and alternative hypothesis tests
that the educators would most likely be interested in
testing?
b) What does a hypothesis test tell us that we can't learn from
simply noting that students improved 10 percentage points?
c) Suppose the p-value from this hypothesis test was 0.54. Explain
how to interpret this value in this context.

Examine the healthcare offerings of your local marketplace and work to identify red oceans and potential blue oceans. This will require achieving a deep understanding of red and blue oceans, coupled with an intensive understanding of the selected market. Research beyond that supplied by your readings, notably including field research, will be most helpful in this endeavor.
This assignment must be between 1500 and 1800 words, include
4-10 references (3 being from scholarly academic journals),APA
style only. Supply the following sections, exactly as
they appear below, placing each heading in bold
text:
Introduction
Red Oceans
Blue Oceans
Conclusions

Consider your dissertation research interests. Identify one categorical/nominal scale IV with more than 2 categories, and three DVs that are measured on continuous scales. Think of DV measures that probably are moderately correlated with each other because they are measuring different components of the same or similar concepts (e.g., three different measures of academic performance). What information would a one-way MANOVA provide you? What more would you want to know if you get significant results in the MANOVA? Why would this be significant to your research? Please type about a 200 word response and use IQ as as the topic. Thanks

Prime Minister Imran Khan asks for a plan to increase government
spending to offset the fall in investment. The Finance Minister
recommends three alternative choices to finance the plan:
[06]
(i) An equal increase in taxes to fund expenditures.
(ii) Borrow the money by issuing new government bonds and maintain
tax revenues invariable
(iii) Finance the expenditures by printing of money and maintain
tax revenues invariable.
Order these financing alternatives from most expansionary to least
expansionary. Also explain your ranking.
b) - The Conservative Party of United Kingdom always criticize the
crowding-out effects of the government borrowings on private
investment. The candidate for Prime Minister from Conservative
Party argues that the UK government should just print money to
manage the budget deficit. Discuss the merits and demerits of this
scheme?

Answer each of the following questions on the promise and peril of economic integration.
What will a potential shift of the economic center of gravity from the traditional G-8 countries—Canada, United States, Japan, Germany, UK, France, Italy, and Russia (currently suspended over its annexation of the Crimea)—to the BRICS countries mean?
Does it signal hope for a new wave of economic growth and new engines of regional prosperity to drive the global economy, or does it signal the fading importance of Europe and the United States?
Will the rise of the BRICS countries signal the rise of middle classes within those countries or a further expansion of inequity in income distribution?
How can governance challenges in each of the BRICS countries derail their economic growth?
Resource challenges? Demography and population? The threat of conflict?

a) Test at 5% level individually if the mean percentage for each of the countries is different from 10%.
b) Obtain a 95% confidence interval for the difference of means for the two countries.
c) Test an appropriate pair of hypotheses for the two means at 5% level of significance.
d) For each country test at 5% level if the mean for March is different from the mean for April using 10 paired samples. Pair them as follows: 1st day from March paired with 1st day from April, 2nd day from March with 2nd day from April etc.

At a major food production facility, a cart of bananas with a mass of 200kg is at the top of a 10m high hill, moving with a speed of 6m/s. At the end of the production line is a segment where brakes are applied (uk = 0.4; D = 8m), and then the cart runs into a giant stopping spring (K = 10,000 N/m; total length = 4m).
a. Draw a FBD of the cart while in contact with the spring.
b. Show that the initial energy (at the top of the hill) of the cart is 23,200J.
c. Determine the distance the cart goes after touching the spring before it is brought to rest for the first time (answer to B is Eo).
d. Assuming that, after touching the spring, the cart travels 1.5m (not answer to part C) before stopping, determine the acceleration of the cart at the time its speed is zero.

Q. Assume a basket that costs $100 in the U.S. would cost $120 in the United Kingdom. (18 pts)
a) What is the U.S. real exchange rate, qUS/UK, with the United Kingdom? Intuitively, what does this real exchange rate imply? (5 pts)
b) Does PPP hold true here? Why? (5 pts)
c) Instead, let’s assume that a basket that costs $100 in the U.S. would cost also $100 in the United Kingdom. For the next year, the Fed is predicted to keep U.S. inflation at 2% and the Bank of England is predicted to keep U.K. inflation at 3%. Does PPP hold true here? If so, use relative PPP to predict what will happen to the dollar’s value against the poundin one year’s time. (8 pts)
