New Zealand’s private forests In the early 1990s, the government auctioned half the national forests, converting these forests from public ownership to private ownership. The government’s decision was an incentive to get the owners to operate like farmers—that is, take care of the resource and to use it to make a profit. Source: Reuters, September 7, 2007 Was the timber industry efficient before the auction and did logging companies operate in the social interest or self-interest? What effect has private ownership had on efficiency of the timber industry? (34 points)

The mayor of a town has proposed a plan for the annexation of a new community. A political study took a sample of 1600 voters in the town and found that 50% of the residents favored annexation. Using the data, a political strategist wants to test the claim that the percentage of residents who favor annexation is less than 53%. Testing at the 0.02 level, is there enough evidence to support the strategist's claim?

The mayor of a town has proposed a plan for the construction of a new bridge. A political study took a sample of 1300 voters in the town and found that 66% of the residents favored construction. Using the data, a political strategist wants to test the claim that the percentage of residents who favor construction is not equal to 69%. Testing at the 0.05 level, is there enough evidence to support the strategist's claim?
Step 4 of 7:
Determine the P-value of the test statistic. Round your answer to four decimal places.

There is a new amusement park under construction in town and the
manager of the project has hired
you to design a "Zero-Gravity" room.
(a) Based on your knowledge of nature of electric charge and
electric forces, how will you design
such a facility? Comment on components of the room, and explain how
it will work for walk in
customers? What would be the safety concerns and measures?
(b) Assume that your design has been approved and facility has been
constructed. Your manager has
asked you to demonstrate the operation of the room. You decided to
show him weightlessness
using your own body. In your design of part (a), what parameters
will you set for this demon-
stration? (You should choose the parameters to counter the value of
your weight, for simplicity
you can approximate your body as a point like particle).

The mayor of a town has proposed a plan for the construction of a new community. A political study took a sample of 1000 voters in the town and found that 69% of the residents favored construction. Using the data, a political strategist wants to test the claim that the percentage of residents who favor construction is more than 65%. Testing at the 0.02 level, is there enough evidence to support the strategist's claim?
