A marketing research professor is conducting a telephone survey and needs to contact at least 160 wives, 140 husbands, 110 single adult males, and 120 single adult females. It costs $2 to make a daytime call and $4 (because of higher labor costs) to make an evening call. The table shown below lists the expected results. For example, 10% of all daytime calls are answered by a single male, and 15% of all evening calls are answered by a single female. Because of a limited staff, at most half of all phone calls can be evening calls. Determine how to minimize the cost of completing the survey
| Percentages | Daytime | Evening |
| Wife | 25% | 25% |
| Husband | 15% | 30% |
| Single male | 10% | 25% |
| Single female | 15% | 15% |
| None | 35% | 5% |

The following data was collected to explore how the number of square feet in a house, the number of bedrooms, and the age of the house affect the selling price of the house. The dependent variable is the selling price of the house, the first independent variable (x1x1) is the square footage, the second independent variable (x2x2) is the number of bedrooms, and the third independent variable (x3x3) is the age of the house.

With celebrity bonds, celebrities raise money by issuing bonds to investors. The royalties from sales of the music are used to pay interest and principal on the bonds. In April of 2009, EMI announced that it intended to securitize its back catalogue with the help of the Bank of Scotland. The bond was issued with a coupon rate of 6.7% and will mature on this day 38 years from now. The yield on the bond issue is currently 6.4%. At what price should this bond trade today, assuming a face value of $1,000 and annual coupons?
What is the percentage change in price for a zero coupon bond if the yield changes from 6.5% to 8.5%? The bond has a face value of $1,000 and it matures in 8 years. Use the price determined from the first yield, 6.5%, as the base in the percentage calculation.

Evaluate the effect of each shock below using first the classical model and second the Keynesian model. For the Classical model, include graphs of the goods market, the labor market, and the money market. For the Keynesian model, include an IS-LM-FE graph, an Aggregate Supply – Aggregate Demand graph, and a graph of labor market equilibrium with efficiency wages. For the Keynesian model, include short-run effects, while the price is constant, and long run effects after the price has fully adjusted.

Calculate the concentration of the standardized thiosulfate solution.
The following are the steps and the concentration of my KIO3 was 0.0114 and the weighed mass of Na2S2O3 was 1.719 g
Weigh about 1.7 g Na2S2O3 5H2O, and transfer it to a 4 oz glass storage bottle. Add 100 mL (graduated cylinder) of room-temperature DI water, which has beenbubbled extensively with nitrogen, and which contains 100 mg /liter Na2CO3. Mix
thoroughly and add 1 drop of chloroform to prevent bacterial growth.
2) For the standardization, pipet 5 mL of the KIO3 solution into each of three 125 mL Erlenmeyer flasks. From this point treat each flask separately until the titration isfinished. Make the calculation to estimate your approximate endpoint volume.
3) Add 0.5 g of solid KI and 2.5 mL of 0.5 M H2SO4 to the first flask, and immediately
begin titrating with the Na2S2O3 solution.
THE VOLUME OF THIOSULFATE USED UP WAS 5.09 mL

A box contains 500 envelopes, of which 75 contain $100
in cash, 150 contain $25, and 275 contain $10. An envelope may be
purchased for $25. What is the sample space for the different
amounts of money? Assign probabilities to the sample points and
then find the probability that the first envelope purchased
contains less than $100.
Question 2
Suppose that in a senior college class of 500 students it is found
that 210 smoke, 258 drink alcoholic beverages, 216 eat between
meals, 122 smoke and drink alcoholic beverages, 83 eat between
meals and drink alcoholic beverages, 97 smoke and eat between
meals, and 52 engage in all three of these bad health
practices.
If a member of this senior class is selected at random, find the
probability that the student
(a) smokes but does not drink alcoholic beverages;
(b) eats between meals and drinks alcoholic beverages but does not
smoke;
(c) neither smokes nor eats between meals.
