The Survey of Study Habits and Attitudes (SSHA) is a phychological test that measures the motivation, attitude toward school, and study habits of students. Scores range from 0 to 200. The mean score for U.S. college students is about 115, and the standard deviation is about 30. A teacher who suspects that older students have better attitudes toward school gives that the SSHA to 25 students who are at least 30 years of age. Their mean is ¯x = 127.8.

(a) Assuming that σ = 30 for the population of older students, carry out a test of

H0 : µ = 115

Ha : µ > 115

Report the P-value of your test, and state your conclusion clearly.

(b) Your test in part (a) required two important assumptions in addition to the assumption that the value of σ is known. What are they? Which of these assumptions is most important to the validity of your conclusion in part (a)?

ath & Music (Raw Data, Software Required):
There is a lot of interest in the relationship between studying music and studying math. We will look at some sample data that investigates this relationship. Below are the Math SAT scores from 8 students who studied music through high school and 11 students who did not. Test the claim that students who study music in high school have a higher average Math SAT score than those who do not. Test this claim at the 0.05 significance level.

Write a Java program thatdoes the following jobs.Step1. Creates a Schooltable with name, score, rating, and district.Step2.

Interact with the user, wheretheusercan select one of the following actions.-(Q) Quit: quit the program-(A) Add a school-(C) Calculate average rating-(S) Print a subset of the schools based on score-(D) Print a subset of the schools based on districtThe user can choose one of these actions bytyping Q,A,C, S, or Din the console. When adding a school,theusermust provide name, score, rating, and districtthrough the console(you can assume the user will provide valid inputs).When selecting a subset of the schoolsbased on score,a lowerbound score value must be provided. When selecting a subset of the schoolsbased on district,a valid district name must be provided.

1. Suppose a family with one child earns 40.000 TL per year and lives in a community without publicly provided education. The price of education per year is 1000 TL and the price of other goods is 2000 TL. Initially, the family sends the child to school 8 years.

1. Draw the family’s budget constraint and indifference curve and show the equilibrium point.
2. Suppose now that there is free public education available for 8 years. Show the change in the family’s budget constraint.
3. Suppose that the family decides to send the child to school 12 years, when the free public education of 8 years is introduced. Show the change in the family’s equilibrium point.
4. Suppose now that the government subsidizes the family worth of 8 years of education (i.e. provides income equal to 8 years of education expenditure). Show the change in the family’s budget constraint.

In a study of high school students at least 16 years of age, researchers obtained survey results summarized in the accompanying table (based on data from Texting While Driving and Other Risky Motor Vehicle Behaviors Among U.S. High School Students, by OMalley, Shults, and Eaton, Pediatrics, Vol. 131, No. 6).

Use a 0.05 significance level to test, by hand, the claim of independence between texting while driving and irregular seat belt use:

1. (a) State the null and alternative hypotheses, indicate the significance level and the type of test (left-, right-, or two-tailed test).

2. (b) Calculate by hand the test statistic

3. (c) Use the χ2 table to identify the critical value

4. (d) Use the test statistic and critical value to explain whether or not the null hypothesis is rejected.

5. (e) Make a concluding statement.

6. (f) Are those two risky behaviors independent of each other?

Advocate for the importance of integrating unstructured, outdoor play into elementary schools a as a way of improving children’s health and wellness and the overall school learning environment.

a) Why is outdoor play important for children's development, health, and wellness

b) Discuss how many children are not meeting movement guideline requirements, and provide an overview of how things have changed in society leading to less outdoor play opportunities for children. How has outdoor play changed over time? What factors have caused this shift in less outdoor free play opportunities for children.

c) Finally, outline a plan for incorporating unstructured, outdoor play into Primary Schools. (Integration of outdoor loose play; outdoor classroom days; integrating learning into outdoor spaces etc/). Include stakeholders in plan (parents, community, staff, school, children/youth)

“Suppose you are an educational researcher who wants to increase the science test scores of high school students. Based on tremendous amounts of previous research, you know that the national average test score for all senior high school students in the United States is 50 with a standard deviation of 20.

“Write H0 next to the verbal description of the null hypothesis and H1 next to the research hypothesis.
_____The population of students who receive tutoring will have a mean science test score that is equal to 50.
_____The population of students who receive tutoring will have a mean science test score that is greater than 50.
_____The population of students who receive tutoring will not have a mean science test score that is greater than 50.
_____The population of students who receive tutoring will have a mean science test score that is less than 50.”

A program, or software, consists of a series of related instructions, organized for a common purpose, that tells the computer what tasks to perform and how to perform them. An application, or app, sometimes called application software, consists of programs designed to make users more productive and/or assist them with personal tasks. The purpose of this discussion is to talk about the applications you use for work, school and play and the license agreements you agreed to when using them.

The needs of the pediatric patient differ depending on age, as do the stages of development and the expected assessment findings for each stage. In a 500‐750‐word paper, examine the needs of a school‐aged child between the ages of 5 and 12 years old and discuss the following:

1. Compare the physical assessments among school‐aged children. Describe how you would modify assessment techniques to match the age and developmental stage of the child.
2. Choose a child between the ages of 5 and 12 years old. Identify the age of the child and describe the typical developmental stages of children that age.
3. Applying developmental theory based on Erickson, Piaget, or Kohlberg, explain how you would developmentally assess the child. Include how you would offer explanations during the assessment, strategies you would use to gain cooperation, and potential findings from the assessment. CITE REFERENCE

You have just been hired as the new treasurer of an Australian firm called Sun Solar Panels (SSP). SSP produces commercial solar panels. It is a well established brand in both the UK and
New Zealand. In fact, it distributes (sells) its entire output to UK and New Zealand retailers. These sales are made through SSP’s UK and New Zealand subsidiaries which act as distributors of the product. Each wholesale transaction in the UK is settled in GBP and each wholesale transaction in New Zealand is settled in NZD. SSP's board is made up of seven directors. Four of these directors are family members who founded the business. Three are from outside the family but also from solar panels’ sales backgrounds. None have any finance or accounting education or experience. The raw materials used to make the solar panels are sourced from Indonesia. The solar panels are manufactured in Australia.
About 30% of manufacturing costs can be attributed to labour, 50% to raw material costs and 20% to other expenses (factory space, electricity etc.). Based on current exchange rates and
cost structures, the average wholesale price of a commercial solar panel is AUD$10 000 and the cost to manufacture such a panel is AUD$5,000. SSP strives to maintain this margin.
Average order size is 20 solar panels. The manufacture and sales processes work as follows:
Step 1: a UK or New Zealand retailer enters into a sales contract with SSP's local subsidiary (ie.
SSP's New Zealand or UK subsidiary). The sales contract stipulates that delivery will occur in
three months. The price in local currency (ie. GBP or NZD) is also stipulated in the contract.
Step 2: After the sales contract is executed, SSP immediately orders raw materials from
Indonesia. This order stipulates a six week delivery of raw materials and the price of the raw
materials which is denominated in IDR.
Step 3: After receiving the raw materials and settling the account with the Indonesian supplier
in IDR, the company manufactures the product as per the sales contract and ships the product
off to the UK or New Zealand.
Step 4: After receiving the finished product, the UK or New Zealand customer pays for the
goods. SSP is about to engage in a new investment project which it will fund through a debt
facility of AUD$100 million and wants protection against increases in interest rates over the next
five years. SSP also has purchased 10 fixed income securities using retained earnings each with
a face value of AUD$1 million with five years to maturity and a coupon rate of 10% paid once
per annum. The issuer has a call provision which enables them to prepay the debt at any time.
Currently the Company has no definitive strategies on managing financial risk.
Your task (Report Part I):
Your mandate (task for this assessment item) is to prepare a ‘Business Case’ with recommendations for your board that pitches the need for a systematic financial risk management strategy and the financial derivatives and tools that could be used as part of this strategy. The business case should focus on the next 12 month period. This business case should be
prepared as a report. The structure of the report should be appropriate to your audience, include an executive summary and address each of the following questions.

Question 1
Clearly outline the reasons why SSP’s board should have a financial risk management strategy in place.

Question 2
For risks associated with the ordering and sales process described above:
1. Identify and explain the financial risk that SSP is potentially exposed to. Use examples of possible scenarios that may occur for SSP to illustrate the nature of these risks.
2. Using examples, explain how the risk can be managed using futures.
3. Aside from a futures based risk management strategy, you should identify and explain three additional risk management strategies using three alternative Over-The-Counter
(OTC) derivatives.
