The city of​ Belgrade, Serbia, is contemplating building a second airport to relieve congestion at the main airport and is considering two potential​ sites, X and Y. Hard Rock Hotels would like to purchase land to build a hotel at the new airport. The value of land has been rising in anticipation and is expected to skyrocket once the city decides between sites X and Y.​ Consequently, Hard Rock would like to purchase land now. Hard Rock will sell the land if the city chooses not to locate the airport nearby. Hard Rock has four​ choices: (1) buy land at​ X, (2) buy land at​ Y, (3) buy land at both X and​ Y, or​ (4) do nothing. Hard Rock has collected the following data​ (which are in millions of​ euros):                                                                                       Site X Site Y Current purchase price 26 22 Profits if airport and hotel built at this site 50 40 Sale price if airport not built at this site 12 7 Hard Rock determines there is a 50​% chance the airport will be built at X​ (hence, a 50​% chance it will be built at​ Y).

Suppose there are two potential projects for investment. Project 1 has a certain payoff of $50 in one year, while project 2 has a 50% chance of generating $100 in one year, and another 50% chance of generating $0 in one year. Suppose the company has an outstanding debt = $50.

(1)Which project will shareholders prefer? Justify your answer.
(2)Which project will debt holders prefer? Justify your answer.
(3)Which project will the financial manager prefer? Justify your answer.

A new paint process has been installed in a manufacturing facility. With this process, the facility has to wait only 58 minutes for drying before the next coat can be applied. That is, with the new process, the average dry time was 58 minutes and the standard deviation was 15.9 minutes for a sample of 30 automobiles. Compare this to the process that was replaced. This process (old process) was studied for 50 automobiles and the average dry time was 64 minutes with a standard deviation of 16.8 minutes. Use an alpha of .05 for your hypothesis test. Call your present process “sample one” and the replaced process (old process) “sample two.”   You want the mean of sample 1 minus the mean of sample 2 to be negative.

What do you mean by "tail"?

Write a program that prompts the user to input their first name from the keyboard and stores them in the variable "firstName". It does the same for last name and stores it in the variable "lastName". It then uses strcat to merge the two names, separates them by a space and stores the full name into a string variable called "fullName". In the end, the program must print out the string stored within fullName. ANSWER IN C LANGUAGE !

You may use the following declarations for this problem:
char firstName [50];
char lastName [50];
char fullName [50];

You *must* use the function below to print out the full name:
void printName(char fullName[])

Changing the function or its parameters is not permitted.

Sample Output:
======================
Please enter your first name: John
Please enter your last name: Wick

Your full name is John Wick

This excerpt comes from an article titled “Eagle Eyes High-Coupon Callable Corporates” in the January 20, 1992 issue of BondWeek, p.7:

If the bond market rallies further, Eagle Asset Management may take profits trading $8 million of seven-to 10-year Treasuries for high-coupon single-A industrials that are callable in two to four years according to Joseph Blanton, Senior VP. He thinks a further rally is unlikely, however.

Eagle has already sold seven-to 10-year Treasuries to buy $25 million of high-coupon, single-A nonbank financial credits. It made the move to cut the duration of its $160 million fixed income portfolio from 3.7 to 2.5 years, substantially lower than the 3.3-year duration of its bogey… because it thinks the bond rally has run its course…..

Blanton said he likes Single-A industrials and financials with a 9 ½ - 10% coupons because these are selling at wide spreads of about 100-150 basis points off Treasuries.

1. What strategy or strategies has (have) been implemented by Mr. Blanton?
2. What is meant by “the bond rally has run its course”? What is the implementation of this phrase on the future interest rate?
3. What is the outlook of Mr. Blanton on the spread between the single-A bonds and the Treasuries?
4. Why wouldn’t Mr. Blanton mind the Single-A industrials being callable?

Answer the following:

A. (2 pts) If a relationship exists such that the more religiously involved one is, the higher actual self-esteem is, would you expect r computed on the provided values to be negative or positive?

B. (4 pts) Using SPSS, JASP, or the online calculator, compute the Pearson correlation coefficient for these data. Report the value of r. What does the direction of the effect (the positive or negative sign of r) tell you about whether higher self-esteem is associated with higher religious involvement or lower religious involvement? (Choose one.)

C. (2 pts) In SPSS, use religious involvement (the IV) to predict self-esteem (the DV). What proportion of variability in self-esteem is explained by variability in religious involvement?

D. (4 pts) Write the equation to predict self-esteem from religious involvement. Make the equation as detailed as you can (variable names, number for the coefficients).

E. (2 pts) Use the equation to predict the self-esteem of a person who had a religious involvement score of 27. Show your work.

F. (2 pts) For the Pearson correlation between religious involvement and self-esteem, state the null and alternative hypotheses.

G. (2 pts) Using Table E, report the degrees of freedom and the critical value for the Pearson r at an alpha of .05 (two-tailed).

H. (2 pts) What is your decision about the null hypothesis for the Pearson correlation (reject or fail to reject)? Also state the basis for your decision.

I. (2 pts) In psychology, a Pearson correlation of -.388 is usually considered a fairly substantial effect. If you failed to reject the null with this large a correlation, what could a possible explanation be? Write a sentence or two answering this question.
