You believe that capital markets are semi-strongly efficient. McDonald's announces stronger than expected quarterly earnings. What is likely to happen to the share price? Is there a way to profit from the announcement? What if the strong earnings were expected, what would happen to the share price?

could you please explain in detail ?

Formula 3 =  y( x) = (x^3 - 2x^2 + 5x – 25)/40

In terms of hand calculations, determine the root of Formula 3 given above by using the Newton-Raphson method. Start with an initial guess of xo = -4, i.e., yo = y(-4). Label your successive solution pairs as(xo yo), (x1, y1), (x2, y2)….Work out your solution (at each step) to an accuracy of two places below the decimal point. Your overall solution is to display full detail of every step taken. At the end of your derivation, write a summary table that displays the x, y and dy/dx values for each step along the solution path. Clearly state your final answer and the number of iterations required to reach it.

In an (AC) RLC circuit, does the what is the order of obstruction? Does the inductor, capacitor, or resistor obstruct first? and last? And what are each of them obstructing ( change of current or change of voltage)?

What about in (DC) source?

What happens when the capacitor receives a change in rate of voltage? Does it induce a new current to push back the voltage? I am very confused.

Please show in detail and diagrams.

Thank you

A commuter must pass through five traffic lights on her way to work and will have to stop at each one that is red. She estimates the probability model for the number of red lights she hits (x), as shown below: x 0 1 2 3 4 5 p(x) 0.04 0.23 p 0.1 0.1 0.1 a)Find the probability that she hits at most 3 red lights. Answer to 2 decimal places. b)Find the probability that she hits at least 3 red lights. Answer to 2 decimal places. c)How many red lights she expect to hit? Answer to 2 decimal places. d)What is the standard deviation of number of red lights she hits? Answer to 3 decimal places. e)Let us consider any two consecutive days. What is the chance that she hits exactly two red lights on both days? Answer to 4 decimal places

Let a bowl contain 15 chips of the same size and shape. Only one of those chips is red. Continue to draw chips from the bowl, one at a time at random and without replacement, until the red chip is drawn. Show your work.

a) Find the probability mass function of X, the number of trials needed to draw the red chip.

b) Compute the mean and variance of X.

c) Determine P(X <= 10).

John Smith is 16 years old; his parents purchase a red Volkswagen bug for his birthday. He does not like the car because he wanted a red Porche. The parents take the car back to the dealership. The parents tell the dealership this contract is void because our son lacked capacity to enter into this contract. Are the parents right? Use IRAC format.

The following question is about markets and government policies.

a. Explain the difference between a binding and non-binding price ceiling. What is the intuition behind this?

b. If the government is trying to increase tax revenue, what should they know about the Laffer Curve?

c. Draw and fully explain the welfare impacts of a per unit tax on the seller.

d. If the government wants to slow consumer spending, why might they consider using taxation? Explain your answer.

You have just been accepted to nursing school. As a requirement, you have to have a tuberculosis (TB) test as well as a hepatitis B recombinant vaccine. The nurse who administers the TB skin test explains that if significant swelling occurs around the injection site, you will need to have chest x-rays to determine if you are infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis. On the morning of the second day after the skin test, you awake to find your arm red and swollen in an area about the size of a quarter around the site of the test. It is also tender to the touch. Now you are really worried. Could you have TB?

1. Why does the reaction to the skin test take 36-48 hours to show up? Explain. 2. If you have a tuberculosis infection, why doesn’t the whole body, or at least the respiratory tract, react when the antigen is injected during this diagnostic test?
