Suppose that over some time period, the HML portfolio had a total return of -6% and the SMB portfolio had a total return of -4%. During that same time period, there are four mutual fund managers whose funds all earned a 10% return. One manager runs a big value stock fund, one runs a small value stock fund, one runs a big growth stock fund, and one runs a small growth stock fund. Who was the most skilled manager during this time period and why?

Hi,


One definition of sustainable business is "Sustainable business, or green business, is an enterprise that has minimal negative impact on the global or local environment, community, society, or economy. Often, sustainable businesses have progressive environmental and human rights policies". The university has often been recognized for its efforts for sustainability. In what ways do you think the university strives for sustainability? In what areas could the university do better in this regard?

For 40 days in the summer, you are working in a small, student-run company that sends out merchandise with university branding to alumni around the world. Every day, you take a sample of 50 shipments that are ready to be shipped to the alumni and inspect them for correctness. Across all days, the average percentage of incorrect shipments is 5 percent. What would be the center line for a p-chart?

  1. We try to study the relationship between a personality scale that measures willingness to take orders (on a scale from 0 to 20, where 20 represents eagerness to take orders) and the number of days served in county prison for misdemeanors. Here are the data from a sample of six prisoners:

Mean of the Willingness score tells us:

Median of the Days Served tells us:

Variance of the willingness score tell us:

Standard Deviation of the days served tells us:

While try to find the relationship of these two variables,

Which one is the dependent variable?

Which one is the independent variable?

What is the Sample Covariance?

What is the sample coefficient of correlation (r) and what does this tell us?

What is the Coefficient of Determination (R2) and what is this telling us?

What is the Slope coefficient (b1) and what is this telling us?

What is the y-intercept (b0) and what is this telling us?

From the above measures, particularly your r and R2, can you say that the low scores of the willingness will cause the prisoner serving more days in Jail? Why or why not?

Assume the US market of sunflower oil was described by the following domestic supply and demand equations:

QDUS = 8000 – 4 P

QSUS = -2000 + 6 P

where QDUS and QSUS represent the quantities demanded and supplied (in tons) and P is the price per ton of sunflower oil (in $).

4) Now add this information:

In 2008, China entered into the World Trade Organization and became the largest importer of US sunflower oil. Assume the Chinese import demand for sunflower oil from the US in 2008 was

QDCHINA = 20000 – 10 P

1) What was the market (equilibrium) price of sunflower oil?

2) Using your work in question 1, what was the market (equilibrium) quantity of sunflower oil?

3) Using your work in questions 1 and 2, what were revenues for the suppliers of sunflower oil?

4) Given this information, what was the new equilibrium price of sunflower oil in 2008? (Hint: what is the total demand for US sunflower oil?)

5) Given the price you calculated in the previous question, what was the equilibrium total quantity demanded?

6) Given your answers in the previous 2 questions, how much of the new equilibrium quantity was consumed in the US (i.e., US quantity demanded given the new equilibrium price)?

7) Given your answers in the previous three questions, how much sunflower oil did China purchase from US producers? (i.e., China quantity demanded)

8) Given your calculations in questions # 4 and #5, what were US sunflower oil producer revenues?

Is there evidence that not all means are the same when comparing the mean college graduation age of students in the US, Japan, China and Europe?

Ten students will obtain their PhDs in Statistics next semester. The head of the department wants to know the mean number of years these ten students took to graduate.

Kenneth Bronson is a 27-year-old male who was just admitted to the Medical Unit from the Emergency Department. He presented to the Emergency Department two hours ago with chest tightness, difficulty breathing, a productive cough for a week, and fever. Chest x-ray revealed right lower lobe pneumonia. IV was started of normal saline at 75 mL per hour. He is receiving oxygen at 2 L/min per nasal cannula. SpO2on room air was 90%, which increased to 95% with supplemental oxygen. He had a temp of 102.6°F and was given acetaminophen 1,000 mg in the Emergency Department. Pharmacy just delivered the antibiotics to be given.

Guided Reflection Questions

4. Discuss the importance of follow-up assessments post-reaction.

5.   What further needs does Kenneth Bronson have at the end of the scenario that future nursing care should address?

6. Reflect on how you would communicate with family members in an emergency situation if they were present at the bedside.

7.   After completing the simulation and reflecting on your experience, what would you do differently (or the same) for the patient experiencing acute respiratory distress?

8. How could you prepare for clinical in order to plan ahead for potential patient emergencies?
