A bag contains 12 balls of the same shape and size.
Of these, 9 balls are blue, and the remaining 3 balls are red.
Suppose that you do the following iterative random experiment: In each iteration, 5 balls are removed randomly (without replacement) from the bag, in such a way that any 5 balls in the bag are equally likely to be the 5 balls that are removed. After doing this, you check whether among the 5 removed balls there are exactly 2 red balls. If so, then you STOP. Otherwise, you replace the 5 balls back into the bag, shake the bag up (to make sure it is randomly mixed again), and repeat the same experiment: random sample 5 balls from the bag, and check whether you have taken out exactly 2 red balls.
You repeat this until the process STOPs (i.e., when the 5 removed balls in some iteration contain exactly 2 red balls among them).
What is the expected number of times that you will sample 5 balls from this bag, in the above random experiment?

"Little Albert and Classical Conditioning"
The original article by Watson and Rayner was published in the Journal of Experimental Psychology in 1920. There is a reprint of the original article which can be found in the South University Online Library. Here is the reference for the article reprint: Watson, J. B., & Rayner, R. (2000).
There have been several classic experiments to study and describe classical conditioning; one of the more famous is the Little Albert experiment. Over the years, the experiment has lost some of its validity due to numerous interpretations by several introductory psychology textbooks. It is, therefore, beneficial to go back to the original (or primary) source and read what the authors of the experiment themselves had to say.
Read the article and answer the following questions:
In the study, what are unconditioned stimulus (US), conditioned stimulus (CS), and conditioned response (CR)?
Explain the concept of generalization in regards to Watson and Rayner's ability to condition Albert to react to different stimuli such as masks, other animals, and a fur coat?
Using examples from the study, explain the concept of extinction

Broussard Skateboard's sales are expected to increase by 20% from $7.6 million in 2016 to $9.12 million in 2017. Its assets totaled $5 million at the end of 2016. Broussard is already at full capacity, so its assets must grow at the same rate as projected sales. At the end of 2016, current liabilities were $1.4 million, consisting of $450,000 of accounts payable, $500,000 of notes payable, and $450,000 of accruals. The after-tax profit margin is forecasted to be 6%, and the forecasted payout ratio is 75%. What would be the additional funds needed? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest dollar.
Assume that an otherwise identical firm had $2 million in total assets at the end of 2016. Broussard's capital intensity ratio (A0*/S0) is _______ 2 than the otherwise identical firm; therefore, Broussard is _______ 3 capital intensive - it would require _______ 4 increase in total assets to support the increase in sales.
