1) A business analyst wants to know if there is a correlation in a sales person’s intelligence and the average weekly sales. The Excel spreadsheet list the data for a random selection of 15 sales persons. The intelligence is measured by an inventory each employee takes.

a)Create the scatterplot on your Excel Spreadsheet. Does it appear to be a positive linear correlation? Why or why not?

b)Fill out the necessary cells in the spreadsheet to calculate the correlation coefficient ?. Use both the formula in the formula sheet and the built-in CORREL function in Excel to check your work. List the value here: __________

c)Conduct a 7-step hypothesis test as outlined in the PowerPoint to determine if the population correlation coefficient ? is statistically significant with ? = 0.05?

d)From the result of your hypothesis test should there be a regression line? Why or why not?

e)Use Excel to calculate the coefficient of determination ? 2 . List it here: ___________________ What does the value you found for ? 2 say about the explained and unexplained variations? Write the appropriate sentences. Use slides 8-10 in the section 9.3 PowerPoint as your guide

Might a policymaker choose a steady state with more capital than in the Golden Rule steady state? With less capital than in the Golden Rule steady state? Explain your answers.

You completed your full head-to-toe assessment skills demonstration last week and now will document your results. Continue to document only the objective findings for this section without bias or explanation. Remember if you can’t feel something then it is “nonpalpable,” if you can’t hear something just state they were not heard such as no bowel sounds heard (unless you listened for the full five minutes which we wouldn’t want to do for our purposes – then you could document absent bowel sounds). Be descriptive if necessary but at the same time be brief.

Use the given information to find the ​p-value. ​Also, use a 0.05 significance level and state the conclusion about the null hypothesis​ (reject the null hypothesis or fail to reject the null​ hypothesis). With H1​: p> ​0.554, the test statistic is z=1.34.

when a person contributes cash or property to a corporation and receives stock in exchange this is classified as a section 351 transaction and generally is not taxable as long as the property or cash contributed is equal to the value of the stock. Personal services contributed are considered wages and, if exchanged for stock, become a taxable event.

A corporate can also reduce its investment income when purchasing certain types of stock of other companies. This credit is know as the 'dividend received deduction'.

1. Relative to corporate formation, how can one contribute appreciated property without gaining recognition for the transferor?
2. Describe, in detail, the dividend-received deduction.
3. What are some items that increase book income? What are some items that reduce book income when reconciling book to taxable income

This format should allow you more time to think about your answer. The length of your answers should range from 2-4 paragraphs, depending on the complexity of the question. Remember to use the readings and your class notes to answer the questions. Use citations/quotes and then go on to interpret and explain the quote in your own words.

Contemporary feminist economics arose, in part, from a recognition that current economic statistics are misleading.Marilyn Waring, Who’s Counting, in particular pointed out the bias.Describe Waring’s contribution to feminist economics.Go on to explain the feminist critique of neoclassical economic theory.

1.(i) Using the AD/AS model, discuss the changes to the economy that the Phillips curve explains well, and describe under what conditions the Phillips curve fails to explain economic behavior. Include graphs of the Phillips curve and the AD/AS model in your answer

2.(ii) In the late 1990s, the U.S. economy experienced a period of extremely low inflation and extremely low unemployment. Use the AD/AS model to explain what sort of change in the economy would cause this. Include a graphical analysis in your answer, and provide two examples of what might bring about this event.

(Explain each step in detail. show your logic, Do not just provide answer and formulas.)

Will-O-Wind Airlines always invests (in non-depreciating assets) 20% of its earnings, which will be next period (Period 1) $3 per share. The rest it pays out as dividends. Its investment opportunities currently earn (and are expected to earn in the indefinite future) 18%. There are no taxes. The risk adjusted required rate of return on this stock is 10%. What is its price?

2. A study showed 110 cases of “blue lung disease” among 1,000 instructors who used blue dry erase markers in classes and 90 cases of “blue lung disease” among 1,000 instructors who did not use blue dry erase markers in classes. Test whether instructors who used blue dry erase markers in classes were significantly more likely to develop “blue lung disease” than instructors who did not use blue dry erase markers in classes.

a. State the null and alternative hypotheses associated with the test. b. What is the calculated value of the associated test statistic? c. What is the p-VALUE for the test (please use FOUR decimal places)? d. If α = 0.05, state your decision regarding the null hypothesis by comparing α to the p-VALUE. e. State your conclusion (meaning, describe what the decision means in this problem).

please use R studio to answer the following questions

1. An eductional theorist collects behavioural data from two groups of children in an early childhood center. She measures how much time the children are active (e.g. running or swinging on the monkey bars) in minutes. The first group of children are encouraged to run about and as such are expected to be active; the second group is encouraged to sit still and paint, and are expected to be less active.

The first group has total activity time of: c(76.8, 76.5, 71.2, 57.2, 65.9, 66.1)

And the group has strength ratings of: c(52.4, 62, 75.4, 62.8, 63.6, 64.1, 83.5, 61.3, 72.2, 50.3, 82.4 )

Is there evidence that the first group is actually more active than the second?

(a) State a sensible null hypothesis

(b) State the precise definition of p-value and explain what “more extreme” means in this context

(c) Is a one-sided or two-sided test needed? justify

(d) Perform a student t-test using R and interpret
