Management at Caribo Limited were monitoring their cash flow. They requested their accountant to prepare a cash budget for the four months ending 30 April 2016.

(i) The following sales figures are for the months of November 2015 to June 2016. The figures from January 2016 onward are estimated:

Half the sales are normally paid for in the month in which they occur and the customers are rewarded with a 5% cash discount. The remaining sales are paid for net in the month following the sale.

(ii) Goods are sold at a mark-up of 25% on the goods purchased one month before sale. Half of the purchases are paid for in the month of purchase and a 4% prompt settlement discount is received. The remainder is paid in full in the following month.

Exam practice problems- applied stats and research

Bug Thugs is a national newcomer in the pest control market. Their Two big competitors each have a well-known "signature" commercial, and Bug Thugs wants to also develop their own "signature" commercial that will cause as many customers as possible to remember and choose them first. Their creative team has come up with two possible themes "Tough-Guy-Funny" and "Straight Talk Facts". In addition, an advertising consultant has suggested that by saying "Bug Thugs" More times in the commercial it may cause the name to be remembered more- but it may also get annoying as well and turn people off. Design an experiment to be used to find the best commercial design (assume 10,000 volunteers for the experiment).

A). What type of experiment design should be used? state a reasonable experimental hypothesis.

B). identify the dependent and independent variable

C)Describe how the trial might work. How will you measure the dependent variable?

D) Design an experiment to test your hypothesis.

Lack of sleep puts you at higher risk for colds, first experimental study finds By Hanae ArmitageSep. 1, 2015, 11:00 AM Moms and sleep researchers alike have stressed the importance of solid shuteye for years, especially when it comes to fighting off the common cold. Their stance is a sensible one—skimping on sleep weakens the body’s natural defense system, leaving it more vulnerable to viruses. But the connection relied largely on self-reported, subjective surveys—until now. For the first time, a team of scientists reports that they have locked down the link experimentally, showing that sleep-deprived individuals are more than four times more likely to catch a cold than those who are well-rested.

“It’s very nice to see an experiment looking at sleep as an important regulator for specific antiviral immune responses,” says Michael Irwin, a psychoneuroimmunologist at University of California (UC), Los Angeles, who is not involved with the study. “In this particular case, there’s a hard clinical outcome showing [sleep deprivation] and susceptibility to the common cold.”

In a carefully controlled two-part experiment, scientists began by collecting nightly sleep data on 164 healthy individuals for 1 week. Participants were asked to record the times at which they went to bed and woke up. They also wore small watchlike devices that use a technique called wrist actigraphy to monitor movement (much like a Fitbit tracks activity) while they slept. Aric Prather, lead author of the study and a sleep researcher at UC San Francisco, says that he and his colleagues associate the wrist actigraphy data with being awake—if during a reported sleep period, the wrist band records movement, they take that as an indication of wakefulness, and subtract the time spent moving from the hours asleep.

Then came part two: the cold infections. Scientists quarantined participants in a hotel and gave them nose drops containing rhinovirus—the virus responsible for the common cold. They then closed off the hotel floor for 5 days, letting the hosts’ immune system do the rest. To ensure the most accurate results, researchers drew participants’ blood before the viral exposure to test for levels of rhinovirus antibody, a defensive agent in the immune system that recognizes and attacks rhinovirus. If they found high, preexisting levels of the protective protein, they removed the participant from the study so that prior immunity would not bias the infection rates of the group.

In order to officially register as “sick,” participants had to exhibit one “objective sign of illness” and one other immune response. Signs of illness revolved around mucus production. After viral exposure, scientists collected used tissues daily and, essentially, weighed the snot. Ten grams or more counted as a sign of illness. They also looked at congestion. The researchers dripped a harmless dye into participants’ noses and waited to see how long it took to reach the back of their throats; longer than 35 minutes tallied as a sign of illness. Valid immune response required one of two things: A mucus sample flushed from a participant’s nasal passage had to show signs of viral replication or blood work needed to show new levels of the rhinovirus-fighting antibody.

Of the 164 participants, 124 received the actual virus instead of the control, and 48 of them got sick. By checking the sleep duration of the sick participants, researchers report in the current issue of SLEEP that individuals who slept fewer than 5 hours a night were 4.5 times more likely to get sick than those who slept 7 hours or more. Those who slept 5 to 6 hours were 4.2 times more likely to get sick, but those who slept 6 to 7 hours per night were at no greater risk of catching a cold than those who slept 7 hours or more, suggesting that there’s a sleep threshold for potent immune defense.

“Sleep often takes a back seat to other health behaviors like nutrition and exercise,” Prather says. “I think this [experiment] provides some really clear evidence for those people who get less than 5 or 6 hours of sleep—there really is a clear biological cost.”

The question Is as follows:

What broad question is being addressed by the study?

• To what populations(s) does the question apply?

• Is the study experimental or observational?

• For an experimental study, what are the treatments and outcomes?

• What are the relevant variables in the study?

• What is the size of the sample in the study?

• How were the subjects in the sample selected?

• What are the parameters (means or proportions) of interest?

• What values of statistics (means or proportions) are reported?

• What are some interesting strengths or weaknesses of the study?

• What are the conclusions of the study and why?

Write a class called Name. A tester program is provided in Codecheck, but there is no starting code for the Name class. The constructor takes a String parameter representing a person's full name. A name can have multiple words, separated by single spaces. The only non-letter characters in a name will be spaces or -, but not ending with either of them.

The class has the following method:

• public String getName() Gets the name string.

• public int consonants() Gets the number of consonants in the name. A consonant is any character that is not a vowel, the space or -. For this problem assume the vowels are aeiou. Ignore case. "a" and "A" are both vowels. "b" and "B" are both consonants.

You can have only one if statement in the method and the if condition cannot have either && or ||. Do not use the switch statement, which is basically the same as an if statement with multiple alternatives. Hint: call method contains().

- public String initials() Gets the initials of the name.

Do not use nested loops for the method. Hint for initials(): Each word after the first is preceded by a space. You can use the String method indexOf (" ", fromIndex) to control a while loop and to determine where a new word starts. This version of indexOf() returns the index of the first space starting at the fromIndex. The call of indexOf (" ", fromIndex) returns -1 if the space is not found in the string. Remember that the name does not have 2 consecutive spaces and does not end in a space.
