A prospective MBA student earns $55,000 per year in her current job and expects that amount to increase by 7% per year. She is considering leaving her job to attend business school for two years at a cost of $40,000 per year. She has been told that her starting salary after business school is likely to be $100,000 and that amount will increase by 10% per year. Consider a time horizon of 10 years, use a discount rate of 13%, and ignore all considerations not explicitly mentioned here. Assume all cash flows occur at the start of each year (i.e., immediate, one year from now, two years from now,..., nine years from now). Also assume that the choice can be implemented immediately so that for the MBA alternative the current year is the first year of business school. What is the net present value of the more attractive choice? Please round your answer to the nearest dollar.

She is considering leaving her job to attend business school for two years at a cost of $30,000 per year. She has been told that her starting salary after business school is likely to be $90,000 and that amount will increase by 16% per year.

1- The number of calories in a hamburger depends on what ingredients are included. The following are determinations of calorific values of a sample of homemade large hamburgers:
350 375 400 356 378 379 340 320 330 324 360 390
Assume that the calorific values for the hamburgers are normally distributed.
a) Find the standard error of the sample mean.
b) Obtain the 95% confidence intervals for the mean calorific values of the burgers.
2- The following show the number of hours a sample of High school students from a local high school studied a week:
21, 15, 18, 24, 15, 18, 20, 23, 24, 12, 10, 20, 12, 18, 20, 14, 17
Assume that the weekly study hours are normally distributed.
a) find the 90% confidence intervals for the mean number of study hours.
b) find the margin of error for the 95% confidence interval of the mean number of study hours for all students in this high school. The margin of error equals half length of the confidence interval.

3) You are an OSHA inspector who is conducting a routine inspection at a warehouse in Porter County. Materials are stored above the ceiling of a shipping office within the warehouse. You decide to write a citation, because:
-There are obvious, physical signs that the stored materials are too heavy as there is bowing in the ceiling materials that are over the work stations of the shipping personnel
-The load limit sign shows a number of lbs per square foot that is too conservative for this situation
-Your floor load capacity meter indicates a problem
---------
15) All of the following describe good housekeeping practices except:
- eliminate hazards such as protruding nails or loose flooboards
- provide mats if needed to allow for a dry standing place at a work station
-Do not allow wet processes in any workplace
- Keep floors as clean and dry as possible

18) Employee training is important for the HazCom standard because the average level at which the MSDS is written is: Middle school, high school, elementry school, college level.

Prompt:
A popular method for defrauding a company is to issue a phony invoice. The scam begins by initially contacting the target firm to discover details of key business contacts, business operations, and products. The swindler then uses this information to create a fictitious invoice. The invoice will include names, figures, and other details to give it the appearance of legitimacy. Scott County Schools was a victim of the above scam in 2017.
Scott County Schools in Kentucky announced that it was the victim of a major attack that resulted in a loss of $3.7 million. This was a typical invoice scam where the school was notified that an invoice was outstanding, the school duly paid the fake invoice. Once the fact this was a wire fraud incident, the FBI was contacted, and attempts were made to recover the funds. Initially, it was it is unclear whether it will be possible to recover the money. Just today it was confirmed that the school district in Kentucky recovered the $3.7 million stolen by the hacker in this cyber wire fraud scam.

1. Liv attends “Happy Days” preschool. The preschool ran assessments on the children’s motor skills (such as ability to tie a shoe), social skills (such as sharing and saying “please” and “thank you”), and school readiness (such as knowing ABCs and basic counting). The motor skills test has a class mean of 6 with a standard deviation of 1, the social skills test has a class mean of 10 with a standard deviation of 2, and the school readiness test has a mean of 16 with a standard deviation of 4. Liv’s parents are given a report that indicates that her z score for motor skills is –1.11, for social skills it is 0.25, and for school readiness it is 0.
a. The parents do not know what z scores are. Clearly define for them what a z score measures and the advantages of using z scores compared to raw scores.
b. What does a z score = –1.11 mean? A z score of 0.25? A z score of 0?
c. What are Liv’s raw scores on each test?

Draw an ER diagram and write a database design outline for the following prompt:
You run a coaching service to help high school students prepare for the SAT exam. You have a staff of coaches, each of which has an employee ID, an hourly rate (such as $20 per hour), and personal information consisting of their first name, last name, middle name/initial, address information, phone number, mobile phone number, and e-mail address. For each high school student, you want to keep similar personal information and a student ID number, date of birth, and expected date of graduation from high school. Coaching takes place in sessions, to each of which you assign a unique ID number. Each session consists of one coach and one student. In addition to being able to identify the coach and student involved in each session, you want to store its start date/time and end date/time.

Given the following situation below, make an OB history. It must be written in paragraph form, using the format presented in the module. Place you answer here in this platform. Do not attach a file but answer on the space provided below.
Situation:
Cristina is a 29 year-old woman, 16 weeks pregnant, who comes for a first prenatal visit.She is concerned because she didn’t realize she was pregnant until a week ago. Because of this, she has been actively dieting (two diet drinks plus one meal of mainly vegetables daily) plus lifting weights at a health club. She wants her urine tested because “ I have to go all the time”. She does not want any blood work done because she doesn’t have any insurance. She hasn’t had a pelvic examination since she was in high school, when she had a vaginal infection.
Cristina is single, lives by herself in one-bedroom apartment. She works at a laundry and her boyfriend is a roofing salesman, out of town 4 days a week.
She had her menarche at age 11; menstrual cycle every 29 days, 6 days duration with moderate flow and mild cramps. Past history positive for sinusitis and appendectomy at age 12 years. Smokes about ½ pack of cigarettes per day (“more when I’m stressed at work”); denies alcohol use.
She weighs 195 pounds and stands 5 feet 5 inches; breast full and slightly tender.
Pelvic examination by nurse-midwife:
Cervical os round, clean, and slightly soft; uterus enlarged and soft;
+ chadwicks; + hegar’s sign; + Goodell’s sign; uterine height palpable at 3 fingers over symphysis pubis. Fetal heart rate via Doppler at 152 beats per minute.
Remainder of physical examination within normal limits. Serum HCG and ultrasound positive for pregnancy.
