This question was answered a while ago, but I feel something is still missing for some reason, so I will be adding it again for another opinion.
Thank you!

Assignment #7: One-sample Chi-Square
Directions: Use the Chi-Square option in the Nonparametric Tests menu to answer the questions based on the following scenario. (Assume a level of significance of .05 and use information from the scenario to determine the expected frequencies for each category)
During the analysis of the district data, it was determined that one high school had substantially higher Graduate Exit Test scores than the state average and the averages of high schools in the surrounding districts. To better understand possible reasons for this difference, the superintendent conducted several analyses. One analysis examined the population of students who completed the exam. Specifically, the superintendent wanted to know if the distribution of special education, regular education, and gifted/talented test takers from the local high school differed from the statewide distribution. The obtained data are provided below.
|
Special Education* |
Regular Education |
Gifted/Talented |
|
|
Number of students from the local high school who took the Graduate Exit |
17 |
90 |
19 |
|
Percent of test taking students statewide who took the Graduate Exit |
7% |
73% |
20% |
*For purposes of testing, special education includes any student who received accommodations during the test.
If the student distribution for the local high school did not differ from the state, what would be the expected percentage of students in each category?
What were the actual percentages of local high school students in each category? (Report final answer to two decimal places)
State an appropriate null hypothesis for this analysis.
What is the value of the chi-square statistic?
What are the reported degrees of freedom?
What is the reported level of significance?
Based on the results of the one-sample chi-square test, was the population of test taking students at the local high school statistically significantly different from the statewide population?
Present the results as they might appear in an article. This must include a table and narrative statement that reports and interprets the results of the analysis.
Note: The table must be created using your word processing program. Tables that are copied and pasted from SPSS are not acceptable.

CPSC 1103 Assignment 1 Problem A cell phone provider has three different subscription packages for its customers: Package A: For $9.95 per month 10 hours of access are provided. Additional hours are $2.00 per hour. Package B: For $14.95 per month 20 hours of access are provided. Additional hours are $1.00 per hour. Package C: For $19.95 per unlimited access is provided. Write a program to ask which package the customer has purchased, what month they are using, and how many hours were used. Determine max hours. Months with 30 days have 720 hours, and months with 31 days have 744 hours. February, with 28 days, has 672 hours. Month Days Hours January 31 744 February 28 672 March 31 744 April 30 720 May 31 744 June 30 720 July 31 744 August 31 744 September 30 720 October 31 744 November 30 720 December 31 744 Input validation: Be sure the user only selects package A, B, or C. Also, the number of hours used in a month cannot exceed maxHours (or be less than 0). Display the charge for the Package chosen. Display how much money Package A customers would save if they purchased packages B or C; how much money Package B customers would save if they purchased packages A or C; and how many packages C customers would save if they purchased packages A or B. If there would be no savings, no message should be printed. What to hand in: Please see the title page for requirements for assignments. You need the following in a single Word document: • Source code listing fully documented (comments for purpose, file, programmer, all variable declarations, and major tasks). • Test runs to show valid and invalid data as well as savings. • User Guide with Purpose stated for a User, a simple run to illustrate the capability of the program and a section for assumptions and limitations • A hierarchy chart for example to calculate the area of a rectangle

Lab 1: Using the Scientific Method Worksheet
At a local town meeting, one of your neighbors complains that a nearby residence is killing his flowers because of the chemicals he uses to wash his cars. He claims that the soap runs into a stream that flows very close to his flower beds. As an inquiring student of science, you wonder whether soap can truly affect flower growth.
Based on the observation given to you, use the following questions to explain how you would set up your experiment and analyze your results.
1. State your hypothesis. Remember that a hypothesis must be specific and testable. For example, stating that detergents are bad is not a good hypothesis (“Bad” is a generic term, it would be better to use a metric that is measurable).
2. Explain how you would set up your control and treatment groups. What would be the same between the groups and what would be different? What species would you use for each group and how many plants total would you use?
3. How would you collect your data for your experiment? What tools and units of measurement would you use? How often would you collect data and would you use the same methodology for both your treatment and control groups? Be specific in your answers.
In every experiment, there are some unintentional differences between the control and treatment groups. These are called sources of error. If these sources of error can be corrected we call them avoidable sources of error. An example of an avoidable source of error may be the amount of water provided to the plant. We can avoid this error by watering the plants in each group, the same amount at the same time of the day.
4. List some possible sources of avoidable and unavoidable error in your fertilizer experiment that were provided to you as examples.
5.. Explain the difference between a theory and a hypothesis.
6. Explain the difference between the ‘everyday’ use of the word theory and the definition of a scientific theory.
7. Why is it important to educate people on the true definition of “theory”?

Overview The written assignments will present you with a scenario that has legal implications and ask you to identify the legal issues involved and make recommendations as to how to best handle the situation. The written assignments may be turned in at any time between the time the unit begins and the deadline for that unit. Read the scenario below and answer the questions that follow. Submit your answers in the form of a Word or PDF file. Instructions George Bluth really, really wants to control the market for new homes in Orange County, California. The Bluth Company (“TBC””) currently controls about 60% of the market in Orange County, while TBC’s chief competitor, Stan Sitwell, controls about 25%, and various other companies control the remaining 15%. George approaches Sitwell to see if they can make a deal under the table to stop competing and join forces to corner the market, but Sitwell refuses. After being rebuffed by Sitwell, George decides to try and buy out Sitwell’s company. He is unable to raise enough cash to do so, however. Finally, he tries to corner the market all by himself by cutting his prices so low that his competitors could not possibly hope to compete. In fact, he cuts the prices for his new houses so low that he’s losing money on each one. Hopefully his competitors will go out of business soon and he can raise his prices back up once they do. |
Please answer the following questions:
If Stan Sitwell had been open to George’s suggestion that they
join forces, discuss two possible ways they could have acted that
would be blatant violations of Section 1 of the Sherman
Act.
If TBC had been able to raise the money to purchase Sitwell,
what type of merger would it have been? Would the government have
allowed the merger to proceed? (hint: discuss Section 7 of the
Clayton Act).
Do George’s actions create an illegal monopoly under Section 2 of the Sherman Act? (hint: analyze ALL of the elements necessary to have an illegal monopoly).
