The data in the enclosed spreadsheet comes from the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board and the Texas Department of Labor. It represents the total wages earned by major, during the 4th quarter after graduation. http://www.txhighereddata.org/reports/performance/ctcasalf/gainful.cfm
What was the mean 4th quarter wages for 2016 grads in your major:_____________
What was the median 4th quarter wages for 2016 grads in your major:_____________
What percent of 2016 graduates in your major were employed in the 4th quarter?_______
What are some limitations to the THECB wage report that might impact interpretation of wage data? Should you use the mean or median to provide the best estimate of annual wages for graduates in this major? Explain your answer:
Based on #4, calculate an estimation of annual wage for this major, one year out from graduation:_______________________
Go to O-NET (https://www.onetonline.org/). This site is run by the US Department of Labor. The Department of Labor uses actual wage date to create an overview of expected wages and job availability. Search for an occupation related to your major under “Occupation Quick Search”.

What is the projected job growth (2016-2026) nationally for occupation?___________________
What is the projected job growth (2016-2026) in Texas for this occupation? _______________
One the State Wage Data tab, select the “Employment Concentration Tab”. Where are people in this occupation most concentrated?________________
How does the median annual wage in Texas compare to the THECB wage calculated in #5?
What factors might account for the differences in wages between the O-NET Texas data and the THECB data?
Based on these data, what is your best estimate of your wages the first year after graduation? Justify your answer:

(a) Let σ = (1 2 3 4 5 6) in S6. Show that G = {ε, σ, σ^2, σ^3, σ^4, σ^5} is a group using the operation of S6. Is G abelian? How many elements τ of G satisfy τ^2 = ε? τ^3 = ε? ε is the identity permutation.
(b) Show that (1 2) is not a product of 3-cycles. Must be written as a proof!
(c) If a^4 = 1 and ab = b(a^2) in a group, show that a = 1. Must be written as a proof!
(d) Show that a group G is abelian if and only if (gh)^2 = (g^2)(h^2) for all g and h in G. Must be written as a proof!
