Write a for-loop in MATLAB that generates a list of numbers such that each number is the sum of the previous three. Initialize your list of numbers at the values of 0, 0 and 1. In other words, "0" is the first element of the list, "0" is the second element of the list, and "1" is the third element of the list. What is the 20th value in the list?

1. (8 pts) The superintendent of a large school district speculated that high school students involved in extracurricular activities had a lower mean number of absences per year than high school students not in extracurricular activities. She generated a random sample of students from each group and recorded the number of absences each student had in the most recent school year. The data are listed below. Test the superintendent’s claim at the α=.01 significance level. [To receive full credit, your response should be sure to state your hypotheses, check the relevant requirement(s), find a test value, find a critical value or p-value (either is OK), make your decision, and state your conclusion.]

Students in EC Activities: 4 1 2 0 5 6 2 1 0 3 0 1 1 4 8 6 9 2 0 4 2 10 5 6 1

Students not in EC Activities: 5 7 0 9 4 3 12 8 4 2 0 5 5 4 9 14 6 10 9 6 3

3) Suppose that a price searcher is currently charging a price that leads to an output level where marginal revenue is zero. Assume that marginal costs are always positive.

This price will or will not    maximize the firm’s profit.

4) If a firm goes out of business, what happens to the firm’s assets and workers?

A) The assets and workers become available for use by other firms in potentially more productive ways.

B) The assets and talents of the workers must remain with the firm owners

C) The assets and workers become available for use by other firms, but only for less productive purposes.

D) The assets and talents of the employees are lost permanently.

5) Suppose that families with low income have a highly elastic demand for college, while families with high income may have an inelastic demand for college. Assume there is no “reselling” of a college education.

Which of the following pricing strategies would increase revenue for colleges?

A) Charge students from low-income families a lower-price, and charge students from high-income families a higher price.

B) Charge students from high-income families a lower-price, and charge students from low-income families a higher price.

C) Charge all students the same price, regardless of family income.

Suppose that a principal of a local high school tracks the number of minutes his students spend texting on a given school day. He finds that the distribution of minutes spent texting is roughly normal with a mean of 60 and a standard deviation of 20. Use this information to answer the following questions.

1. Based on the statistics, what is the probability of selecting at random a student who spends an extreme amount of time texting – either less than 10 minutes OR more than 110 minutes?

2. Based on the statistics, what is the probability of selecting at random (with replacement) two students who spent a below-average amount of time texting?

3. Based on the statistics, what is the probability of selecting at random (with replacement) two students who spent more than 75 minutes texting?

4. Based on the statistics, what is the percentile rank of a student who spent 100 minutes texting?

5. Based on the statistics, find the two numbers of minutes that define the middle 95% of students in the distribution. What is the value for the lower number that you found?

6. Based on the statistics, find the two numbers of minutes that define the middle 95% of students in the distribution. What is the value for the higher number that you found?

Suppose that GMAT scores of all MBA students in Canada are normally distributed with a mean of 550 and a standard deviation of 120.

a. A university (that is representative of the MBA students in the U.S.) claims that the average GMAT scores of students in its MBA program are at least 550. You take a sample of 121 students in the university and find their mean GMAT score is 530. Can you still support the University’s claim? Test at 5% significance level. Interpret the test result.

b. Calculate the p-value for the test in part (a). If the hypothesis was to be tested at 10% significance level instead of 5% would your answer to part (a) change? Explain why without actually conducting the test.

c.Do you need the assumption that “GMAT scores of all MBA students in the U.S. are normally distributed” to answer part (a) or (b)? Explain.

d. You discover that the population standard deviation you’ve been using is actually the sample standard deviation. All other sample information holds. If you were still conducting the hypothesis test as you set up in part (a), would your test statistic/ distribution change? How?

And would you need the assumption of normality of the population now? Why?

The reading speed of second grade students in a large city is approximately​ normal, with a mean of

9191

words per minute​ (wpm) and a standard deviation of 10 wpm. Complete parts​ (a) through​ (f).

​(a) What is the probability a randomly selected student in the city will read more than

9595

words per​ minute?The probability is

0.34460.3446.

​(Round to four decimal places as​ needed.)

Interpret this probability. Select the correct choice below and fill in the answer box within your choice.

A.If 100 different students were chosen from this​ population, we would expect

nothing

to read less than

9595

words per minute.

B.If 100 different students were chosen from this​ population, we would expect

nothing

to read exactly

9595

words per minute.

C.If 100 different students were chosen from this​ population, we would expect

3434

to read more than

9595

words per minute.Your answer is correct.​(b) What is the probability that a random sample of

1111

second grade students from the city results in a mean reading rate of more than

9595

words per​ minute? The probability is.......
