A college newspaper interviews a psychologist about student ratings of the teaching of faculty members. The psychologist says, “The evidence indicates that the correlation between the research productivity and teaching rating of faculty members is close to zero.” The paper reports this as “Professor McDaniel said that good researchers tend to be poor teachers, and vice versa.” Explain why he paper’s report is wrong. Write a statement in plain language (don’t use the word “correlation”) to explain the psychologist’s meaning.
Each of the following statements contains a blunder. Explain in each case what is wrong. (a) “There is a high correlation between the gender of American workers and their income.” (b) “We found a high correlation (r= 1.09) between students’ ratings of faculty teaching and ratings made by other faculty members.” (c) “The correlation between planting rate and yield of corn was found to be r = 0.23 bushel.”

A company that makes language learning software wants to determine which of two approaches (Method A or Method B) to learning vocabulary would lead to the largest number of recalled words. The company wishes to evaluate the methods on 7 different languages (since languages differ in difficulty). Seven individuals, one per language, were recruited to learn words using Method A, and 7 individuals, one per language, were recruited to learn words using Method B.
After one month, each person completed a test of word recall. The data, representing the number of words recalled, are shown in the table below.

The company wishes to test whether there is a difference in the average number of words recalled between the two methods. Calculate the test statistic for this hypothesis to two decimal places. Take all calculations toward the final answer to three (3) decimal places.

As the imperial crisis deepened in the late 1760s and into the 1770s, Americans increasingly based their claims not simply on the historical rights of Englishmen but on the more abstract language of natural rights and universal freedom.

1. In http://es.finance.yahoo.com/ search the Profile (Profile) of PepsiCo (PEP) and IBM (IBM), and then, examine the Balance and the Result Account of each company. Calculate the present value of the tax savings for interest that contributes to your long-term debt. Now suppose you each issue $ 3 trillion more of long-term debt and use the proceeds to buy back your own capital. What change would tax savings experience?
2. Scroll down and click on the word "Industry" in the left column. This will provide you with a table of financial ratios or ratios for different industries. Compare debt ratios between companies' equity. Can you explain the differences? Are these better explained according to the theory of equilibrium or according to that of the financial hierarchy?
3. What was Ryan's starting salary? How much could he have contributed to the voluntary savings plan in his first year of employment?

Using the goal seeking feature in Ms excel demonstrate a scenario where an employee earns a basic salary of 50000 KSH.
The overtime payrate per hour is 2500 KSH.
The total overtime amount =hours worked x payrate per hour.
The total gross pay = basicpay+overtime overtime amount.
The Tax payable = 30% of the gross pay.
The netpay = grosspay-tax payable
i) Enter the date in a worksheet to computer the net pay if the overtime hrs are 15
ii) Using the goal seeking feature how many hours do you need for overtime to take home a net pay of 130,000
iii) Using the scenario manager the worst case and the best case scenario of not having overtime and having 80 over hours
iv) Copy the worksheet onto a ms word document for upload
