Your assignment is to analyze the relationship between two sets of scores using the inferential statistical procedure of an independent two sample t-hypothesis test. Using StatCrunch SPSS, you must calculate and analyze both descriptive and inferential statistics data. The data collection in analysis for this final project is aligned with concepts learned during several weeks of this course.
The data you are being provided with relates to information collected pertaining to the current COVID-19 pandemic. You are being asked to analyze this “case” data derived from 3 states California, New York, and Washington state, each row within the states represent confirmed cases by 9 (n=9) counties. The data from each state identifies the actual number of confirmed COVID-19 cases as of late April 2020, your role as a behavioral research assistant is to analyze the data from your choice of only two of these states (choose and compare CA: to either NY or WA state) and demonstrate whether or not there is a statistical difference in the number of identified cases between your choice of two states. Critical elements or parts of this final project include knowledge of; descriptive statistics, the statistical cycle of inquiry (inferential set up), and inferential statistics.

1. Even though most corporate bonds in the United States make coupon payments semiannually, bonds issued elsewhere often have annual coupon payments. Suppose a German company issues a bond with a par value of €1,000, 9 years to maturity, and a coupon rate of 8 percent paid annuallly. If the yield to maturity is 10 percent, what is the current price of the bond? €1,030.00 €1,128.94 $840.58 €929.06 €884.82 2. Gabriele Enterprises has bonds on the market making annual payments, with 5 years to maturity, a par value of $1,000, and selling for $770. At this price, the bonds yield 7.9 percent. What must the coupon rate be on the bonds? 2.25% 7.90% 2.80% 4.31% 2.15% 4. West Corp. issued 18-year bonds 2 years ago at a coupon rate of 9.5 percent. The bonds make semiannual payments. If these bonds currently sell for 105 percent of par value, what is the YTM? 9.80% 10.69% 8.02% 4.45% 8.91% |

The United States Postal Service (USPS) uses 11-digit serial numbers on its money orders. The first ten digits identify the document, and the last digit is the check digit. The check digit is obtained by a11 = a1 + · · · + a10 (mod 9). For example, one of the money order has serial number 16094004377. (a) The first ten digits of the serial number on a USPS money order are 7306125986. Find the last digit (the check digit). (b) Will this scheme detect all single-digit errors? Prove your statement. (c) Will this scheme detect all transposition error? Why?
