According to a recent Current Population Reports, the population distribution of number of years of education for self-employed individuals in the United States has a mean of 12.8 and a standard deviation of 3.4.

(a) Find the mean and standard deviation of the sampling distribution of for a random sample of size 107. Mean = 12.8 Standard Deviation = 0.328

(c) Find the mean and standard deviation of the sampling distribution of for a random sample of size 397. Mean = 12.8 Standard Deviation = 0.170

(e) If a sample of size 397 is selected from this population, what is the probability that the sample average will be less than 13.1?

probability = ??

I think I have the right answers, except for (e). I have no idea how to do that, so a little help would be appreciated. Thank you!

Suppose you are a stock market analyst specialising in the stocks of theme parks, and you are examining Disneyland’s stocks. The Wall Street Journal reports that tourism has slowed down in the United States. At Six Flags Magic Mountain in Valencia, California, a new Viper roller coaster is now operating and another new ride, Psyclone, will be opening this year. Using demand and supply analysis, predict the impact of these events on ticket prices and attendance at Disneyland. As reported in The Wall Street Journal, Disneyland slashed ticket prices and admitted that attendance was somewhat lower. Is this consistent with your prediction using demand and supply analysis? In light of the fact that both price and output were falling at Disneyland, is the law of demand being violated in the world of fantasy? [15 marks]

10. You are the manager of a firm that produces and markets a generic type of soft drink in a competitive market. In addition to the large number of generic products in your market, you also compete against major brands such as Coca-Cola and Pepsi. Suppose that, due to the successful lobbying efforts of sugar producers in the United States, Congress is going to levy a $0.50 per pound tariff on all imported raw sugar-the primary input of your product. In addition, Coke and Pepsi plan to launch an aggressive advertising campaign designed to persuade consumers that their branded products are superior to generic soft drinks. How will these events impact the equilibrium price and quantity of generic soft drinks? Explain your answer completely and illustrate with graphs.

  1. Last year LaCroix Optical had $145 million of sales, and it had $40 million of fixed assets that were used at 75% of capacity. Use this information to solve the next two problems.
  1. In millions, by how much could LaCroix Optical sales increase before it is required to increase its fixed assets?

  2. LaCroix Optical was approached by the Department of Defense (DoD)because of their ability to manufacture the lens required for night vision goggles. LaCroix Optical is the last remaining firm domiciled in the United States that can manufacture the night vision lens, and subsequently the DoD designated the company as essential critical infrastructure.

Using the SARS-CoV-2 tests, explain the processes required for scaling up production of the newer diagnostic testing in a global pandemic and regulatory processes required for use of new diagnostic tests for COVID-19 within Australia, Europe and the United States of America. This section is to describe the some of the manufacturing challenges associated with meeting the rapid demand for tests during emergency or disaster management. Diagnostic tests require regulatory approval by FDA (US), TGA (Australia) and CE (European Union). How do companies ensure product can be continued to be manufactured and distributed to meet global need during a pandemic and what short cuts exist to certify products safe for use in humans during emergency situations such as a pandemic?
