You probably regard your university education as an investment. You spend your valuable time, effort, and tuition fees and in return you obtain a degree. The provincial and federal governements also regard their funding of universities to be an investment. But is the investment equally effective in producing graduates across all provinces? The data bellow indicates the number of graduates at the bachelors, masters and doctorate levels and funding from four sources: Investment of university endowment funds, provincial funding, federal funding, tuition fees. Can we estimate the number of graduates from the level of these sources of funding? Does population size impact the equation? What other factors could influence results?

A consumer preference study compares the effects of three different bottle designs (A, B, and C) on sales of a popular fabric softener. A completely randomized design is employed. Specifically, 15 supermarkets of equal sales potential are selected, and 5 of these supermarkets are randomly assigned to each bottle design. The number of bottles sold in 24 hours at each supermarket is recorded. The data obtained are displayed in the following table.

(a) Test the null hypothesis that μA, μB, and μC are equal by setting α = .05. Based on this test, can we conclude that bottle designs A, B, and C have different effects on mean daily sales? (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)

F=______ ; P-Value = ______; (reject/do not reject) H0: bottle design (Does/Does not) have an impact on sales.

(b) Consider the pairwise differences μBμA, μCμA , and μCμB. Find a point estimate of and a Tukey simultaneous 95 percent confidence interval for each pairwise difference. Interpret the results in practical terms. Which bottle design maximizes mean daily sales? (Round your answers to 2 decimal places. Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign.)

Financial Statement Case 4-1

This case, based on the balance sheet of Target Corporation, will familiarize you with some of the assets and liabilities of that company. Use the Target Corporation balance sheet to answer the following questions.

Requirements

1.Which balance sheet format does Target use?
2.Name the company’s largest current asset and largest current liability at January 30, 2016.
3.Compute Target’s current ratios at January 30, 2016, and January 31, 2015. Did the current ratio improve, worsen, or hold steady?
4.Under what category does Target report furniture, fixtures, and equipment?
5.What was the cost of the company’s property, plant, and equipment at January 30, 2016? What was the amount of accumulated depreciation? What was the book value of the property, plant, and equipment?

You have three plants that produce a certain type of boats. The capacity for next month is 38 in San Diego, 45 in Santa

Ana, and 58 in San Jose. Production cost per boat is $1,065 in San Diego, $1,005 in Santa Ana, and $975 in San Jose.

Demand for next month is 42 in Newport Beach, 33 in Long Beach, 14 in Ventura, 10 in San Luis Obispo, and 22 in San

Francisco. The shipping costs per boat are summarized in the following table:

Shipping Cost to:
From NB LB VEN SLO SF
SD $200 $220 $280 $350 $400
SA $125 $125 $280 $350 $400
SJ $390 $365 $300 $250 $100

Develop a production and shipping schedule that minimizes the total cost of production and shipping while satisfying all

the demand.

Let T : VV be a linear map. A vector vV is called a fixed point of T if Tv = v. For example, 0 is a fixed point for every linear map T. Show that 1 is an eigenvalue of T if and only if T has nonzero fixed points, and that these nonzero fixed points are the eigenvectors of T corresponding to eigenvalue 1

Exp 7. Preparation of Copper (I) Chloride Name ________________________ Experiment replacement assignment. The process of preparing copper (I) chloride, CuCl, from metallic copper consists of the reactions listed below:

Rxn 1. Cu (s) + 4H+ (aq) + 2NO3 – (aq) --> Cu2+ (aq) + 2NO2 (g) + 2H2O(l)

Rxn 2. omitted, as it does not involve copper

Rxn 3. Cu2+ (aq) + CO3 2- (aq) ---> CuCO3 (s)

Rxn.4 CuCO3 (s) + 2H+ (aq) + 4Cl– (aq) ---> CuCl4 2- (aq) + CO2 (g) + H2O (l)

Rxn 5. CuCl4 2- (aq) + Cu (s) + 4Cl– (aq) ---> 2 CuCl4 3- (aq) additional copper

Rxn 6. CuCl4 3- (aq) --> CuCl (s) + 3Cl - (aq)

1. Analyze all reactions and “follow” the initial cupper as it changes into different forms until the final product, CuCl, is made. List all of these forms, in the proper order; include the physical states.

2. Metallic copper used in Rxn1 is the limiting reactant in this process. All other reactants in all steps are available in sufficient amounts. If 2.00 g of copper is used as the starting material, how many grams of the final product, CuCl, can be made?

3. If the yield of this overall process is 75.0%, what mass, in grams, of CuCl amount is produced when from 2.00 g of the initial Cu?

4. Nitrogen dioxide is the toxic product of Rxn 1. Calculate what volume, in L, of NO2 is produced by complete reaction of 2.00g of copper if the gas is collected at the pressure of 745.0 mm Hg and temperature of 22.0 o C.

5. Another way to write a balanced equation for reaction 1 is: Cu (s) + 4 HNO3 (aq) --> Cu(NO3)2 (aq) + 2 NO2 (g) + 2 H2O (l) If 55.0 mL of the 3.0 M nitric acid, HNO3, and 2.00 g of Cu were used, which reactant remained after the reaction was complete?

hemistry 1215, Experiment #12; Determination of the Atomic Weight of an Unknown Metal, Post-lab Name ____________________________________ 1. A student who was measuring the atomic weight of a metal failed to thoroughly clean her metal ribbon leaving an oxide coat on the metal. Will the volume of hydrogen gas generated be lower or higher than the true value? 2. What volume will 5.00 g of helium gas occupy at 0.800 atmospheres and 25 o C? 3. Use Dalton’s law of partial pressures to calculate the pressure of hydrogen gas collected over water if the ambient pressure is 710 mm Hg and the temperature is 25o C. 4. A student didn’t equalize the water levels inside the eudiometer tube with that of his water bath. The water level inside the tube was 10 cm higher than the water level outside the tube. He ignored the difference and proceeded with his calculations. What effect will this error have on his calculated atomic mass? Explain your rationale.

The urgent care manager must resubmit her budget based on 2018 projected visits. The 2018 budget should be based on actual expenses and visits incurred during the first seven months of 2017. Cost standards (2017) and budget standards (2018) must be prepared for all variable costs (indicated by a V behind the object code description). All fixed costs (F) should be projected using the incremental budgeting methodology. Projected visits is 2018 is 52,560. Salary and fringe benefit (object codes 4000-4199) increases for all personnel should be estimated at 4.0% except for health insurance (4120) which is expected to increase by 8%. Input price increases for supplies and other costs (4200-4960) should be increased by 3% except for medications, 5% increase and profession insurance, 10%. All increases are effective January 1, 2015. The budget report, BudgetCh06, Problem 6.1 tab, shows the urgent care centers expenses for 2016 and the actual and budgeted expenses for the first seven months of 2017. The CEO has requested all department heads submit their 2015 operating budget by Wednesday, March 21, 2014. The 2018 fiscal year begins January 1, 2018.
