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
References

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

Sandra and Michael Wilson are the parents of Rory who just turned 5 years old (coincidentally on the same date that primary, secondary and university academic years commence). They own a four-bedroom home in Edinburgh. Sandra is a partner in a local dental practice and Michael is a stay at home dad. Sandra earns £100,000 a year (after tax).

Now that Rory is starting primary school, thoughts have turned to saving for his education. Rory is enrolled to attend a state (i.e. non fee-paying) primary school. The Wilsons plan to send Rory to a private secondary school (when he turns 11). The school is prestigious and its fees are set accordingly. Currently tuition is £20,000 per school year and are projected to rise at the rate of inflation. Currently around 2% per annum.

The Wilsons hope that Rory will subsequently attend their alma mater, Oxford University when he turns 18. Most undergraduate courses at Oxford have a four academic year duration. Undergraduate fees at Oxford are currently £9250 per annum and are projected to rise faster than inflation, at a rate of 4% per annum. In addition, as Rory would be living away from home if he attended Oxford, his parents envisage that his living costs (primarily student accommodation and food) would amount to £10,000 per annum (expressed in today’s prices). These living costs are projected to increase at the rate of inflation, 2% per annum.

Using a discount rate of 7%, what is the present value of the combined projected spend on Rory’s private school fees, university tuition and living costs? (Assume that all fees and living costs are incurred at the beginning of each academic year e.g. Rory’s first school fee invoice will arrive in exactly 6 years which coincides with his first day at secondary school when he turns 11).

The Wilsons plan to fund the expenditure on private school fees from Sandra’s income. They would however like to start investing today in a fund that would be used to pay Rory’s university fees and living costs. They would like to make an equal annual payment into that fund every year (starting in one years’ time) with a view to accumulating £120,000 by Rory’s 18th birthday. This £120,000 would then be drawn down over Rory’s time at Oxford to meet expenses as they come due.

How much money would they have to deposit into the fund every year (with the first payment one year from now) to meet that target assuming a conservative fund return estimate of 3% a year. Will the accumulated amount be enough to cover the joint fees and living costs during Rory’s time at Oxford?

Suppose you have $400 to invest today at 7%, how much will you have saved in 20 years?

You have an opportunity to invest in a UK Consol Bond that will pay you $40 quarterly forever, if the opportunity cost of your funds is 12%, what is fair market price for you to pay?

Which of the following is NOT an example of an agency issue?

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 1^st day from April, 2^nd day from March with 2^nd 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.
