An article included data from a survey of 2769 hiring managers and human resource professionals. The article noted that many employers are using social networks to screen job applicants and that this practice is becoming more common. Of the 2769 people who participated in the survey, 1200 indicated that they use social networking sites (such as Facebook, MySpace, and LinkedIn) to research job applicants. For the purposes of this exercise, assume that the sample is representative of hiring managers and human resource professionals.
a) Construct a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of hiring managers and human resource professionals who use social networking sites to research job applicants. (Round your answers to three decimal places.)
(_________ , __________)
b) Interpret the interval.
We are __________ % confident that the proportion of all hiring managers and human resource professionals who use social networking sites to research job applicants is within this confidence interval.

1) Human history is full of examples of adaptability and innovation. Some observers believe that predictions of climate impact do not take human adaptability into account, and so climate impacts tend to be overestimated. Do you agree?
2) As other countries rush to compete in the global market, their greenhouse gas emissions rise rapidly as well. Leaders in developing countries argue that they should have the same opportunities to grow and compete that the developed world enjoyed. What strategies and approaches could induce developing nations to reduce their emissions?
3)Material continually cycles in the natural world, where waste from one organism or process becomes food for another. If that is so, what prevents humans from taking advantage of the potential value in human biological waste?
4)List several human impacts on the health of the oceans. Describe how elements of your life connect to each impact.

Valron Company has two support departments, Human Resources and General Factory, and two producing departments, Fabricating and Assembly.
Support Departments Producing Departments
_________Human Resources______ General Factory____ Fabricating______Assembly
Direct costs ___$160,000___________ $350,000 ______ $114,200_______ $95,000
Normal activity:
Number of employees______ — _________ 60__________ 80____________ 170
Square footage ________1,000 _______ — __________ 5,700___________13,300
The costs of the Human Resources Department are allocated on the basis of number of employees, and the costs of General Factory are allocated on the basis of square footage. Valron Company uses the direct method of support department cost allocation.
Required:
1. Calculate the allocation ratios for the four departments using the direct method. If an amount is zero, enter "0". Round your answer to the nearest cent. Proportion of Driver Used by

If hemoglobin has a mutation of the following amino acid residues: His 2, His 143, and Lys 82 which have caused them to be changed to aspartic acid residues, how does this alter hemoglobin’s function? Specifically discuss how this could affect binding with the expected ligand at this site (name this ligand and describe if this interaction be stronger or weaker) and the overall effect to oxygen binding capacity and affinity these mutations have relative to the wild type hemoglobin sequence
