A corporation owns a chain of several hundred gas stations in the Atlantic provinces. The marketing director wants to test a proposed marketing campaign by running ads on some local radio stations and determining whether gas sales at a randomly selected sample of the company’s stations increase after the advertising. The following data represent gas sales in hundreds of dollars for a day before and two weeks after the advertising campaign.
Station 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
Before 485 418 434 422 423 421 446
After 504 424 465 413 418 442 420
(a) Does advertising on local radio stations increase gas sales by more than 5 hundreds of dollars for this corporation in the Atlantic provinces? Conduct appropriate analysis and make your conclusion. Use α = 0.05. (b) What assumptions, if any, need to be met satisfactorily for the inference in (a) to be valid? Are these assumptions reasonably satisfied?

A 10 L adiabatic container contains 0.1 mol of air, at a temperature of 250 K. It is closed by a stopcock. Ambient air is at 300 K at a pressure of 1 bar. The stopcock is opened for a moment and a certain amount of air penetrates into the container. After thermal equilibrium is reached inside the container, the gas temperature is measured to be 350 K. 1) Assuming that the air behaves as an ideal gas, find the initial pressure in the container, the number of moles of air that penetrated in the container, the sum of the internal energy changes for the gas inside the container and the gas that entered it and the final pressure inside. 2) Find the enthalpy and entropy changes of the gas that is inside the container at the end of the process. Use κ = Cp,mol/CV,mol = 7/5 and Cp,mol − CV,mol = R.

Police inspector advises stubborn teenager caught for repeatedly
breaking MCO, challenges him to do well in studies (VIDEO)
Tuesday, 07 Apr 2020 05:58 PM MYT BY ARIF ZIKRI LENGGONG, April 7—
A teenager caught multiple times for violating the Movement Control
Order (MCO) was schooled by a police inspector after the boy’s
mother complained about his stubbornness. Lenggong police station
head Inspector Mohd Ropiza Hassan took it upon himself to advise
the young man. A video of the conversation between Mohd Ropiza and
the 15-year-old boy was recorded and has been circulating on social
media platforms since yesterday. In the one minute and 37 second
video, Ropiza telling-off the youngster that it was not his first
time he had been caught, and ‘offered’ the boy to stay in the
lock-up if he required monitoring to comply with the law. Mohd
Ropiza then advised the teenager to study hard during the MCO, so
he could better himself and help his family, challenging the boy to
further his studies into any university. “Study hard, you’re the
eldest son in your family, haven’t you thought about that? With no
father. The government has asked you to stay at home to read some
books. “Study hard until you succeed so that you can help out your
family not by doing as you please.” He told the boy to listen to
the advice, saying he wanted to see the young man in another five
years and to hear that he had succeeded in furthering his studies.
“Meet me at Balai Lenggong and tell me when you’ve been accepted
into an IPTA, I challenge you,” Ropiza said in the video. The video
was recorded in front of the teen’s house and according to the
Gerik State Chief of Police, Superintendent Ismail Che Isa, no
arrest was made and the inspector was just advising the boy as
requested by his mother. Inspector Mohd Ropiza Hassan took time to
personally speak to the youngster. — Screenshot courtesy of

movement control order (MCO). OCPD Supt Mohamad Nor Marzukee Besar
said the suspects, aged between 17 and 24, were arrested in front
of a house in Taman Desa Pelangi in Mantin at about 1.30am on
Wednesday (April 8). "A team was dispatched to the housing estate
after we received a tip off from the public. "The suspects were
caught gambling in front of the house," he said. Supt Mohamad Nor

valid reason for being outside of their house during the MCO. He

ARTICLE 3:
THURSDAY, APRIL 9, 2020 KEPALA BATAS:
A group of people violated the movement control order (MCO) when
they were caught drinking outside a temple on Thursday (April
9).
Seberang Prai Utara OCPD Asst Comm Noorzainy Mohd Noor said those
detained were enjoying their alcoholic beverages at the temple
compound near Jalan Kampung Gajah, Butterworth.
"Despite knowing that the government has enforced the MCO, they
chose to ignore the order and loitered outside instead of staying
at home," he told reporters after the special operation.
Asst Comm Noorzainy said the group of seven, including two women,
claimed that they were bored at home and since many shops were
closed, they decided to have a chat while drinking outside the
temple. Earlier at Bagan Lalang, four teenagers were drinking "air
ketum" at a field near Taman Mesra and tried to run away when
police approached them in the operation. The teenagers were
apprehended by police who had them cornered. Asst Comm Noorzainy
said in total, 27 people were arrested for violating the MCO in
various parts of the district. He said the operation was conducted
by a special task force from the district police headquarters.
"Those arrested are aged from 16 to 60," he said. He said from the
27 that were arrested, 23 will be issued compound notices for
violating the MCO. All of them were detained under Regulation 11 of
the Prevention and Control of Infectious Disease Regulations 2020,
Section 269 and Section 186 of the Penal Code. - Star
