3. An analyst was asked to predict the gross social benefits of building a public swimming pool in Dryville, which has a population of 70,230 people and a median household income of $31,500. The analyst identified 24 towns in the region that already had public swimming pools. She conducted a telephone interview with the recreation department in each town to find out what fee it charged per visit (FEE) and how many visits it had during the most recent summer season (VISITS). In addition, she was able to find each town’s population (POP) and median household income (INCOME) in the most recent census. Her data are as follows:

Personal Budget

At the beginning of the school year, Craig Kovar decided to prepare a cash budget for the months of September, October, November, and December. The budget must plan for enough cash on December 31 to pay the spring semester tuition, which is the same as the fall tuition. The following information relates to the budget:

Cash balance, September 1 (from a summer job) $7,010
Purchase season football tickets in September 100
Additional entertainment for each month 240
Pay fall semester tuition in September 3,800
Pay rent at the beginning of each month 340
Pay for food each month 190
Pay apartment deposit on September 2 (to be returned December 15) 500
Part-time job earnings each month (net of taxes) 870

a. Prepare a cash budget for September, October, November, and December. Use the minus sign to indicate cash outflows, a decrease in cash or cash payments.

Imagine a correlational study that looks at intelligence, the need for cognition, and high school students’ performance in a critical-thinking course. A multiple regression analysis shows that intelligence is not related to performance in the class but that the need for cognition is. Explain what this study has shown in terms of what causes good performance in the critical-thinking course.

Refer to the Buena School District bus data ( 2012). Select the variable referring to the number ofmiles traveled last month, and then organize these data into a frequency distribution. a. What is a typical amount of miles traveled? What is the range? b. Comment on the shape of the distribution. Are there any outliers in terms of milesdriven? c. Draw a cumulative frequency distribution. Forty percent of the buses were driven fewerthan how many miles? How many buses were driven less than 850 miles? d.

Consider the following situation. You are riding on a school bus and are juggling three oranges.Ultimately, you wish to analyze the motion of the oranges by applying Newton's laws.

a. give two conditions that must be met for the interior of the bus to be used as an inertial frame of reference

b. if the windows of the bus are covered and the road was perfectly smoooth, would you be able to determine whether or not the bus was moving? Explain?

c. if you analyzed the motion of the oranges while the bus is travelling at 60 miles per hour and again while it is standing still, would you arrive at the same answers.

d. could you get any clues from the motion of the oranges as to whether or not the bus was moving?

e. if the bus driver suddenly slammed on the brakes, slowing the bus from 60 miles per hour to a stop in a few seconds, would you be able to continue to juggle the oranges during the deaceleration of the bus?

f. During the deacceleration of the bus, would it still qualify as an inertial frame of reference.

2. Consider juggling a set of three oranges while seated on a merry-go-round. Would it be possible to analyze the motion of the oranges within the context of an inertial frame of reference?

3. Consider standing on the surface of the earth and juggling three oranges. Since the earth is rotating and orbiting the sun, is it possible to analzye the motion of the oranges within the context of an inertial frame of reference?

2.In a high school, 16% are Freshmen, 14% are Sophomores, 38% are Juniors, and 32% are Seniors. Suppose 15 students are randomly selected. Find the probability that

a) 4 are Freshmen, 5 are Sophomores, and the rest are neither Freshmen nor Sophomores (in any order)

b) either exactly one is Senior and all the others are not Senior (in any order) or exactly one Freshman, one Sophomore, one Junior and all the others are Seniors ( in any order)

Note: For each part, just give the formula as an answer; numerical answer is not required.

3. If seven fair dice are rolled, what is the probability that the number 2 and the number 6 will appear the same number of times?

(Note: “Same number of times” includes both 2 and 6 not appearing at all)
