10) A random sample of 13 students were asked how long it took them to complete a certain exam. The mean length of time was 120.1 minutes, with a standard deviation of 84.0 minutes. Find the lower bound of the 90% confidence interval for the true mean length of time it would take for all students to complete the exam.

Round to one decimal place (for example: 108.1). Write only a number as your answer. Do not write any units.

11) For a population of people who completed their GED, the average age at completion was 31.8 and the standard deviation was 4.6. The distributions of ages was approximately bell-shaped. Compute the z-score for an individual who completed their GED at the age of 20 .

Write only a number as your answer. Round your answer to two decimal places (for example: 3.15).

A starting lineup in basketball consists of two guards, two forwards, and a center. (a) A certain college team has on its roster three centers, five guards, three forwards, and one individual (X) who can play either guard or forward. How many different starting lineups can be created? [Hint: Consider lineups without X, then lineups with X as guard, then lineups with X as forward.] Correct: Your answer is correct. lineups (b) Now suppose the roster has 3 guards, 5 forwards, 3 centers, and 2 "swing players" (X and Y) who can play either guard or forward. If 5 of the 13 players are randomly selected, what is the probability that they constitute a legitimate starting lineup? (Round your answer to three decimal places.)

A 25 year old unmarried female reports having a positive home pregnancy test and estimates that it has been approximately twelve weeks since her last menstrual period. She and her family work in the agricultural industry and much of her time is spent in the greenhouse or in the fields, where she uses pesticides and fertilizers.

There is much concern raised today regarding the level of national debt in the US. Considering this, and the continuing use of fiscal policy, is the US at risk for hyperinflation? What are the implications for the macro-economy? For industry? How might globalization and global conflict contribute or ease the potential impacts?

Problem 2: Jonah and the Whale

Jonah, Inc. has two operating divisions in a decentralized structure. Division X is located in the US and produces the Xwater, which is an input to Division Y’s WhaleY. Division Y is located in the South of France. Division X uses idle capacity to produce Xwater. Xwater has a US domestic market price of $60. Its variable costs are $25 per unit. Jonah’s US tax rate is 40% of income. In addition to the transfer price for each Xwater received from Division X, Division Y also pays a shipping fee of $15 per unit ofXwater to get the Xwater from the US to France. The WhaleY costs an additional $10 to produce and sells for an equivalent of $115. Division Y could purchase Xwater from a Paris supplier for $50 per unit with no shipping cost. The company’s French tax rate is 70% of income. Assume French tax laws permit transferring at either variable cost or market price.

Assuming you have two choices – Variable and Market Price – what transfer price is economically optimal for Jonah, Inc.?
