A piston with a volume of 0.5 m ^ 3 contains 0.9 kg of water at a pressure of 0.2 MPa. Heat is transferred to the cylinder until the temperature of the steam at constant pressure is 250 ° C. What happens if the change in kinetic and potential energy is neglected?

If we were to conduct a hypothesis test to test if a population proportion of a certain event is 0.2 versus the alternative that it is greater than 0.2 and we sampled 100 people, what would the probability of a Type I Error be if we were to use the arbitrary decision rule to reject Ho if more than 30 units in the sample had the event (not the way we tested hypotheses in class)? What would the probability of a Type II Error be with the same decision rule if the real proportion was 0.25?

A bank has DA = 2.8 years and DL= 1.2 years. The bank has total equity of $105 million and total assets of $950 million. Interest rates are at 7 percent.

2. If interest rates decrease 100 basis points, what is the predicted dollar change in equity value? (0.2 points)

  1. To get DE to equal zero to protect the equity value in the event of an interest rate change, how could the bank change its DL? (0.2 points)

11. A package of yeast (7.4g) was suspended into 100 ml of water. The

suspension was serially diluted by transferring 0.1 ml aliquots successively to 9.9

ml of water three times in secession. 0.1 and 0.2 ml aliquots were spread on

glucose nutrient agar. Colonies appeared as follows: 0.1 plate: 179, 0.2 plate: 32

1. How many yeast were there originally in the package? How many yeast

Were in a gram of material?

Consider the following probability distribution of returns estimated for Projects B, C and D. Construct an equal-weighted (50/50) portfolio of Investments B and D.

State Probability B C D
Very poor 0.1 25% -25% 15%
Poor 0.2 15% -5% 10%
Average 0.4 10% 15% 0%
Good 0.2 0% 35% 25%
Very good 0.1 -10% 55% 35%

The expected rate of return of the portfolio is 10.25.
