Among a simple random sample of 322 American adults who do not have a four-year college degree and are not currently enrolled in school, 145 said they decided not to go to college because they could not afford school.

1. Calculate a 99% confidence interval for the proportion of Americans who decide to not go to college because they cannot afford it, and interpret the interval in context. Round to 4 decimal places.

( , )

2. Suppose we wanted the margin of error for the 99% confidence level to be about 3.25%. What is the smallest sample size we could take to achieve this? Note: For consistency's sake, round your z* value to 3 decimal places before calculating the necessary sample size.

After reading about Transactional Analysis, Reality Therapy, Adlerian and Person-Centered groups, discuss which group theory you would find most fitting for the following scenario:

You are working as a school social worker and are planning to organize a group address bullying. You are hoping that the group can focus on prevention and plan to begin with a group of first graders. You have screened the first-grade class and selected the students you believe are most passive and the least likely to report being picked on in school.

In explaining your choice, be sure to explain why you think this theory would work best and which aspects of the philosophy, leader role and outcomes would apply in this scenario.

Crazy Computer Store sells a back-to-school bundle that consists of a laptop computer, printer, and tablet to a customer for $2,400. Crazy Computer also sells the products on a stand-alone basis for the following amounts: the laptop for $1,800, the printer for $350, and the tablet for $500. The customer receives a $250 discount for buying the three products as a bundle. Crazy Computer normally sells the laptop and printer as a package for a price of $1,900. The tablet is normally not discounted.

Required:

How should the transaction price be allocated among the products?

1-Pick a specific item of clothing (not shoes, not bags, not cosmetics) that you regularly purchase. Then identify four factors that would cause your individual demand for that item to shift in and four other factors that would cause your demand for the same item to shift out.Be specific.

2-Consider very specific products. that you typically purchase.

a) When should the government regulate prices in specific product markets and when should we let supply & demand do their job? (Don't get bogged down in "big issues" such as income distribution or product safety or macro issues)

Think of a product like skirts or blouses. Should the government give out free skirts or blouses to all, or should they be sold in stores? Should the price be kept down by the government, so everyone can afford them? Be sure to justify your answer.

b) Consider the product called 'education.' Why is public school on the elementary and high school level "free" but you need to pay (use supply and demand) for college?.

Hint: Consider/cite specific examples. For example, do we use supply and demand within the family unit? Regulation of housing/construction markets? School vouchers?

According to the USDA Economic Research Center (Links to an external site.), "Any student in a participating school can get an NSLP lunch regardless of the student's household income." Using the Kids Count data provided, calculate regression analyses with scatter diagrams and trendlines in Excel, and compare the differences and similarities between children with at least one parent unemployed and children from low-income working families. One regression analysis will compare total public school students receiving free or reduced price lunches in Indiana with at least one parent unemployed and the other regression analysis will compare total public school students receiving free or reduced price lunches in Indiana with children from low-income working families. Both worksheets should show a Summary Output to include multiple R, R square, adjusted R square, standard error, and number of observations. In addition, include ANOVA calculations and the residual output.

Do you see a trend and if so, what is it? What does the data suggest about working or not working and the influence on student free/reduced lunches? How does Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) potentially impact future data sets?

QUESTION 4 (UNIT 2)
a) Why does money have a time value? Does inflation have anything to do with making a ringgit today worth more than a ringgit tomorrow?

b) Discuss the present value of an annuity due with an example.

c) If your parents deposited RM15,000 into an account for you when you were born as part of a college savings fund and that count is earning 10% annually, how much will you have in your college savings fund on your 18th birthday?

d) You have a long-term goal of paying off your school loans in five years. You will graduate with a loan debt of RM20,000 and an interest rate of 6%. How much will you need to pay each month to have the debt paid off in five years?

e) Christina plans to contribute RM1,200 a year to her niece’s college education. Her niece will graduate from high school in 10 years. If the interest rate is 6%, how much money does Christina need to save for her by the time she graduates from high school?

While middle childhood is the developmental period centered on the child’s growing inclusion in the wider social world, school-age children are also able to participate more fully in the responsibilities of family life. To earn credit for this post, please respond to the following questions:

1. Imagine that you are the parent of a 7-year-old child. What household tasks would you assign to your 7-year-old son? What household tasks would you assign to your 7-year-old daughter?

2. How might the school child’s responsibilities at home affect his or her ability to cope with everyday problems in adolescence and adulthood—for better or for worse?

3. How often are these tasks performed (or how much time do they take)?

4. What tasks do you think would be appropriate for an 11-year-old son and for an 11-year-old daughter?

5. How often are these tasks performed (or how much time do they take)?

6. In your hypothetical family (indicate the number of members and their ages), how are the decisions made about the division of household responsibilities?

7. If you can remember them, describe your own responsibilities at home during the school years.

Q1- Identify each of the following statistics as either descriptive or inferential. For each, give a reason to support your response.

3 Seventy-three percent of sixth-graders have cell-phones.

4 The salary of LeBron James is greater than the average salary of his teammates.

5 Eighteen of the twenty three eighth-graders in Mr. Robson's algebra class have smart phones.

6 Less than 50% of all american households have two televisions.

A schoolteacher was successful at teaching kindergarten for five years. She requested to teach first grade and was then reassigned to a classroom that had no exterior windows. She told the school principal that she suffered from seasonal affective disorder, a form of depression. She made numerous requests to be moved to a classroom with natural light, but the school refused to do so. She also presented the school district with a letter from her psychologist stating that her depression was being exacerbated by the lack of natural light. Another teacher who had been assigned to a classroom with exterior windows had offered to switch rooms. There was also one vacant room with exterior windows, but this room was being reserved for the possible addition of another class section. The woman’s health deteriorated. She suffered from significant inability to concentrate, organize her thoughts, retrieve words, make decisions, and focus on the needs of her students. She also experienced racing thoughts, panic attacks, uncontrollable crying, inability to eat, and thoughts of suicide. She went on medical leave. Eventually, she quit, went to work elsewhere, and sued. What should the court decide? Why?   (Your analysis should include a discussion of an employer’s responsibilities under the ADA.)

Fiduciary funds are of four major types For each of the following indicate the type of fiduciary fund in which it is most likely the fiduciary activity should be accounted for and reported.

1. Per a trust agreement a state maintains an investment pool in which governments within the state can temporarily invest the proceeds of tax exempt bonds that they have issued. The state will invest only in securities that would not violate IRS arbitrage provisions.

2. A county collects property taxes for towns and cities within its jurisdiction and distributes them to the governments shortly after it receives them.

3. A city solicits donations from its citizens to support a local food bank. Per a trust agreement all funds must be invested in investment grade securities and each year all earnings (except for a percentage equal to an inflation index) must be distributed to the food bank.

4. The state requires banks within its jurisdiction to turn over the balances in savings and checking accounts that have been inactive for a period of five years or more. Per a trust agreement, any amounts that are not claimed by the depositors within six years revert to the state’s general fund.

5. A city makes annual contributions to a qualified OPEB trust fund.

6. Each school within a school district collects parent–teacher association dues and contributions and turns them over to the school district for safe-keeping. The district remits the funds to the associations upon request and makes no decisions, and places no restrictions, as to how they are used.

7. A state university receives cash from a not-for-profit child welfare agency that provides scholarships to students who have graduated out of the foster care system. The agency selects the students and stipulates that the scholarship is intended to cover miscellaneous expenses other than tuition and fees, such as for meals and recreation. The university dispenses the funds to the students upon their requests, usually within days after they have been received from the agency.

8. A state university maintains an endowment to provide one scholarship each year to a student who graduated from Llano County High School. As per the donor’s stipulations in a trust agreement, each year the High School selects the scholarship recipient.
