2.1 The Allegory of the Cave is the reflection of an idea by Plato. He describes the human world as a group of persons living in a sunken cave with only a glimpse of sunlight as they watch normal life reside above them. Not knowing everything thing that is apparent to those outside of the cave it would be impossible for a human of the cave to venture to the above world and instantly be familiar with everything around him and everything he saw. It would take time and getting familiar with those things. And in retrospect could that person return to the cave and say he was as good at living in the cave in which they stayed as those that never went outside.

This allegory was Plato’s explanation to the need for a sense of understanding of a Form of good that can be found in the world of knowledge. To find this good one must one must first identify themselves as willing to search for it. “But whether true or false, my opinion is that in the world of knowledge the Form of the Good appears last of all, and is seen only with an effort.” (Plato, 2018). After finding the form of good a person can envision themselves as a part of a good reality that knows the form of good to acquire a more fulfilling wisdom. And until then they could not become wise.

I returned to cave that I had not been back to for a long time when I was visiting my high school. There was a lot that had changed since I had been there before. Except for the location it was completely different with new buildings and more classrooms. The students also tend to seem a lot younger than they did when I was a student there. The behavior of the students was a lot different also. As time passes the way a school evolves says a lot about how much more students are capable of in later generations compared to prior ones.

1. 
   
2. You are a public health nurse working in an elementary school in Hamilton, Ontario. You have seen a substantial increase in the number of children in your school presenting with Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD). You are interested in whether a new drug developed by a local drug company improves the ability of children with ADD to maintain attention. You obtain ethics approval to study the drug, informed consent from the parents of 24 fifth grade children with ADD, administer the drug to the 24 children, and administer a test to the children to determine their ability to maintain attention while performing a task. Scores are continuous, can range from 0 to 25 with higher scores reflecting a better ability to maintain attention, and you know from previous research that scores tend to be normally distributed. Six of these students receive a placebo containing none of the drug. Six students receive 2 mg of the drug, six students receive 4 mg of the drug, and six students receive 6 mg of the drug. The table below summarizes the results from your study. Use these data to answer the following questions. Assume α=0.05.

3. Placebo (0 mg)	Drug (2 mg)	Drug (4 mg)	Drug (6 mg)
   4	7	16	17
   7	8	14	18
   11	13	12	13
   11	6	11	17
   7	9	15	20
   10	9	13	15

4. a.You have one further prediction, and that is that children with ADD who receive the drug will perform significantly better than children with ADD who do not receive the drug. Conduct the appropriate test to confirm this prediction, if the results from question a support doing this additional testing. Are you able to confirm your prediction? Explain, including the calculations and/or SPSS output to support your answer. [2 Marks]

1. Congress recently passed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA). What is the goal (at least stated goal) of the TCJA? Who is supposed to benefit? Focusing on the business taxes, what are the primary features of the TCJA? Will the TCJA make U.S. businesses more competitive? Why or why not? What are most corporations doing with their tax savings (cite some evidence)? Does anyone lose from the TCJA? If so, who and why?

2. We spent a day discussing the mergers of AT&T/Time-Warner and Disney/21st Century Fox. Why does AT&T wish to acquire Time Warner? What is the benefit to the merger? Who loses? The U.S. government doesn’t generally get involved with vertical mergers, why is the government contesting the AT&T/Time-Warner deal, but not (at least yet) the Disney/Fox deal (although the U.K. has expressed concerns)? Do you believe AT&T should be allowed to acquire Time-Warner? If so, should they place any restrictions on the merged firm?

3. What is the Federal funds rate and how does it affect the economy? The Federal Reserve (FED) increased both the Federal funds rate and their interest rate expectations during their March meeting. Why? How did the market react to the news? What effect, if any, did the TCJA have on the FED’s growth and inflation expectations?

I. At the beginning, create a folder named "test" and add the folder into the version control tool tracking system. Then create one file named "001" under this folder. Commit any change if necessary.

II. Next, add another file named "002" in the same folder and commit the change ("adding") in the version control tool.

III. Followed by adding that file, create a branch (namely, "branch-A") in the version control tool and make some changes to the contents in file "001" under the newly created branch. Then commit the change from file "001".

IV. Create another branch (namely, "branch-B") from the main branch (NOT from "branch-A"!) in the version control tool and make some changes to the contents in file "002". Then commit the change from file "002".

V. The next step is to merge "branch-A" and "branch-B" and commit the change to the main branch. Record what you see from such an operation and make your own decision which version you want to keep.

VI. At last, Revise the current change from the merged result to the beginning where there was one file named "001". Record what you see from this operation.

(3) Show a graph of all version related operations from version control tool. The graph is used to visually depict how changes are made.

1. According to Walter Rodney, most of the people who write about underdevelopment and who are read in the continents of Africa, Asia, and Latin America are spokesmen for the capitalist or bourgeois world who seek to justify capitalist _________ inside and outside their own countries.

1. survey of the MBA students at a university in the United States classified the country of origin of the students as seen in the table.

1. What percent of all MBA students were from North America?

2. What percent of the Two-year MBA students were from North America?

3. What percent of the evening MBA students were from North America?

4. What is the marginal distribution of origin?

1. Using the table below, calculate the variance of X, variance of Y, standard deviation of X, standard deviation of Y, the covariance between X and Y, the correlation coefficient between X and Y, and find the regression line assuming X is the independent variable (find the slope and the intercept).
