The College Board provided comparisons of Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) scores based on the highest level of education attained by the test taker's parents. A research hypothesis was that students whose parents had attained a higher level of education would on average score higher on the SAT. The overall mean SAT math score was 514. SAT math scores for independent samples of students follow. The first sample shows the SAT math test scores for students whose parents are college graduates with a bachelor's degree. The second sample shows the SAT math test scores for students whose parents are high school graduates but do not have a college degree.

(a)

Formulate the hypotheses that can be used to determine whether the sample data support the hypothesis that students show a higher population mean math score on the SAT if their parents attained a higher level of education. (Let μ₁ = population mean verbal score of students whose parents are college graduates with a bachelor's degree and μ₂ = population mean verbal score of students whose parents are high school graduates but do not have a college degree.)

H₀: μ₁ − μ₂ ≤ 0

H_a: μ₁ − μ₂ > 0

H₀: μ₁ − μ₂ ≠ 0

H_a: μ₁ − μ₂ = 0

H₀: μ₁ − μ₂ ≥ 0

H_a: μ₁ − μ₂ < 0

H₀: μ₁ − μ₂ = 0

H_a: μ₁ − μ₂ ≠ 0

H₀: μ₁ − μ₂ < 0

H_a: μ₁ − μ₂ = 0

(b)

What is the point estimate of the difference between the means for the two populations?

(c)

Find the value of the test statistic. (Round your answer to three decimal places.)

Compute the p-value for the hypothesis test. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

p-value =

(d)

At

α = 0.05,

what is your conclusion?

Do not Reject H₀. There is sufficient evidence to conclude that higher population mean verbal scores are associated with students whose parents are college graduates. Reject H₀. There is insufficient evidence to conclude that higher population mean verbal scores are associated with students whose parents are college graduates.     Reject H₀.

5.17. Consider two undeveloped land sites. At site 1, the highest and best use (HBU) is a warehouse that would cost $1 million to build (exclusive of land cost) and would then generate annual net rents of $150,000, which are expected to grow al 3% per year. At site 2, the HBU is an apartment building that can generate net rents of $800,000, projected to grow at 1% per year, with construction cost of $5 million. Suppose investors buying built properties (that is, properties already developed and in operation) require an initial annual return (in the form of current net income) of 12% minus the expected annual growth rate in the net income, as a percent of the investment cost. For example, they would want an initial yield or cap rate of 9% for the warehouse (12% -- 3% = 9%). Suppose the land value for site | is $1 million and the land value for site 2 is $2 million. On which of these sites (1, 2, both, or neither) is it currently profitable to undertake construction? Show your reasoning.

The Terry Schiavo case generated enormous controversy at the highest religious and governmental levels. Whether Ms. Schiavo gave clear oral indication of her desire for care should she lose her neocortical capacity remains contested, along with conflicting testimony on the degree of damage to her brain. Subsequent autopsy of Ms. Schiavo’s brain did indicate profound and irreversible neurological deterioration even though brain stem function continued.

If it had been possible to conclusively demonstrate, prior to the autopsy, that no higher brain function was possible for Ms. Schiavo, would that have been sufficient ethical grounds for discontinuing artificial feeding and hydration? Explain your answer.

What is the status and significance of an individual who has lost all brain function except for the brain stem?

In the case of Terry Schiavo, what significance or meaning do you see in her continued existence for 15 years?

When did she cease to be a person? Explain your answer.

Quaint Stem Company is a high-end glassware manufacturer that produces fine stemware of the highest quality. The company is completing its fourth year of operations and is preparing to build its master budget for the coming year (2020). The budget will detail each quarter’s activity and the activity for the year in the total. The master budget will be based on the following information:

1. Fourth-quarter sales for 2019 are 82,000 units and 65,000 for the first quarter of 2021.
2. Unit sales by quarter (for 2020) are projected as follows:

First quarter                       66,000

Second quarter                  68,000

Third quarter                     75,000

Fourth quarter                   85,000

The selling price is $86 per unit. Cash sales make up 25% of all sales. Quaint collects 75 percent of the credit sales within the quarter in which they are realized; the other 25 percent are collected in the following quarter. There are no bad debts.

3. The beginning inventory of finished goods is 13,000 units. Required ending inventory is 25% of the next quarter’s sales in units.
4. Each stemware unit uses one and a half hours of direct labor and two units of direct materials. Laborers are paid $23.00 per hour, and one unit of direct materials costs $12.
5. There are 10,400 units of direct materials in beginning inventory as of January 1, 2019. At the end of each quarter, Quaint plans to have 10 percent of the direct materials needed for next quarter’s unit sales. The ending unit of direct materials on hand at the end of the year was 19,500.
6. Quaint buys direct materials on account. Half of the purchases are paid for in the quarter of acquisition, and the remaining half are paid for in the following quarter. Wages and salaries are paid on the 15th and 30th of each month.
7. Fixed overhead totals $671,600 for each of the first three quarters. Of this total, $255,000 represents depreciation. During the fourth quarter, the depreciation and total fixed overhead increases by $18,575. All fixed expenses other than depreciation are paid for in cash in the quarter incurred. The fixed overhead rate is computed by dividing the year’s total fixed overhead by the year’s expected actual units produced.
8. Variable overhead is budgeted at $5.50 per direct labor hour. All variable overhead expenses are paid for in the quarter incurred.
9. Fixed selling and administrative expenses total $285,000 per quarter, including $50,000 depreciation.
10. Variable selling and administrative expenses are budgeted at $6
11. per unit sold. All selling and administrative expenses are paid for in the quarter incurred.
12. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2019, is as follows:

ASSETS                                                                LIABILITIES and STOCKHOLDERS’EQUITY
