Consider a simple economy whose only industry is weaving. In this industry, productivity—the amount of goods and services a worker can produce per hour—is measured by the number of garments one weaver makes per hour.

In the following table, match each example to the productivity determinant it represents.

Consider a small island country whose only industry is weaving. The following table shows information about the small economy in two different years.

Complete the table by calculating physical capital per worker as well as labor productivity.

Hint: Recall that productivity is defined as the amount of goods and services a worker can produce per hour. In this problem, measure productivity as the quantity of goods per hour of labor.

Based on your calculations,   in physical capital per worker from 2028 to 2029 is associated with   in labor productivity from 2028 to 2029.

Suppose you're in charge of establishing economic policy for this small island country.

Which of the following policies would lead to greater productivity in the weaving industry? Check all that apply.

Imposing a tax on looms

Sharply increasing the interest rate on student loans to people pursuing advanced degrees in weaving

Imposing restrictions on foreign ownership of domestic capital

Offering free public education to every worker in the country

A researcher is studying the effects of inserting questions into instructional material for learning. There is doubt whether these questions would be more effective before or after the corresponding passage. In addition, the researcher wants to know the impact of factual and thought provoking questions. Students are randomly assigned to one of each of the four combination: position of question (before vs. after the passage) and type of question (factual vs. thought provoking). After 20 hours of studying under these conditions, the students are given a test on the content of the instructional materials. The test scores are below. What can be concluded with α = 0.05? Please use 4 numbers after decimal

1. a) Submit a copy of your dataset along with a file that contains your answers to all of the following questions.

b) What the mean and Standard Deviation (SD) of the Close column in your data set?

c) If a person bought 1 share of Google stock within the last year, what is the probability that the stock on that day closed at less than the mean for that year? Hint: You do not want to calculate the mean to answer this one. The probability would be the same for any normal distribution. (5 points)

2. If a person bought 1 share of Google stock within the last year, what is the probability that the stock on that day closed at more than $950? (5 points)
3. If a person bought 1 share of Google stock within the last year, what is the probability that the stock on that day closed within $50 of the mean for that year? (between 50 below and 50 above the mean) (5 points)
4. If a person bought 1 share of Google stock within the last year, what is the probability that the stock on that day closed at less than $800 per share. Would this be considered unusal? Use the definition of unusual from the course textbook that is measured as a number of standard deviations (5 points)
5. At what prices would Google have to close in order for it to be considered statistically unusual? You will have a low and high value. Use the definition of unusual from the course textbook that is measured as a number of standard deviations. (5 points)
6. What are Quartile 1, Quartile 2, and Quartile 3 in this data set? Use Excel to find these values. This is the only question that you must answer without using anything about the normal distribution. (5 points)
7. Is the normality assumption that was made at the beginning valid? Why or why not? Hint: Does this distribution have the properties of a normal distribution as described in the course textbook? Real data sets are never perfect, however, it should be close. One option would be to construct a histogram like you did in Project 1 to see if it has the right shape. Something in the range of 10 to 12 classes is a good number. (5 points)

DATA SET- Closed stock prices

Melisa was distraught. While her grandfather was getting on in years his loss had come as a shock late that Friday afternoon. She could think of no immediate family to contact and wandered her apartment wondering what to do. Finally at 9pm she realized she would have to do something so she called the closest funeral home to her grandfather ‘Lost Days Funeral Home’. Not expecting an answer so late she left a message hoping to hear back from them after the weekend. She was shocked to have the owner of Lost Days call her back within minutes. After 10pm on a Friday when most businesses should be closed!

Susan (the owner of Lost Days) quickly put Melisa’s concerns to rest outlining a plan for the funeral (location and space for the religious service of her choice, cremation or burial of her grandfather, help with writing an obituary (article about her grandfather’s demise) and placing it in the local paper, organizing the wake (gathering of friends and family after the funeral), catering for the wake and even offered to help with a lawyer to assist in her role as executor (being responsible to act on the disposition of her grandfather’s possessions as outlined in his will).

Now, instead of having a grief filled weekend with the stress of a funeral to arrange Melisa was now able to spend it recounting her fond memories of her grandfather.

based on the case study answer the following question:

Describe the difference between an important and determinant attributes in services. Provide an example of each that might apply to Melissa.

Suneview Ltd., a listed public company with actively traded securities, issued debentures with a total term of fifteen years and a face value of $1,000 to the public exactly five years ago for $1,000 each. The debentures were issued at an annual coupon interest rate of 12% p.a. with payments annually in arrears. Interest rates for debentures of a similar risk to those of Suneview Ltd. are currently (five years after originally being issued) being traded at a premium of 3% above the government bond rate. A new series of government bonds (Series XXIV) were issued today for a ten-year term at an annual coupon interest rate of 5% p.a. (with payments annually in arrears), a face value of $1,000 and a yield to bondholders of 7% p.a. Required:

1. Assume that a further three years has elapsed since the calculations undertaken in part a) of this question (a total of eight years after the original debenture issue) and the premium on Suneview Ltd. debentures has increased to 5% above the government bond rate. No further government bonds have been issued since Series XXIV bonds which closed trading today at a yield of 9% p.a.

1. How much would you now (a total of eight years after the original debenture issue) pay for Suneview Ltd. debentures?
2. Briefly discuss the possible ‘real-world’ factors that may have caused the differences in the premium on Suneview Ltd. debentures as compared to the government bond rate (from 3% to 5%).

BEFORE YOU START: Before working on this assignment you should have completed Assignment 1. PROGRAM STATEMENT AND REQUIREMENTS:

You will implement in Java the WIFI troubleshooting program you created in Assignment 1 with the following additional conditions: At the end of the program, you will ask if the client wants to purchase a regular router for $50 or a super high-speed router for $200, adding the cost to the total amount the client needs to pay. Once your program calculates the final bill amount, it needs to ask if the client is a member of the military. If so, your program should reduce by 10% the total amount the client needs to pay. Finally, your program must print on the screen the final bill amount to pay, together with the amount reduced for a military discount if applicable (e.g. if the total amount for a military client was $220, your program must show something like this: "Your total bill is $198. This includes a $22 military discount").

Note:

Make sure to format all number outputs so only 2 decimals are shown.

Add all necessary comments to your code, including the header comment and body comments explaining your code.

Test your program several times and paste the testing output show in the console as a comment at the bottom of your source code in the driver/main class program file.

Correctly name your classes, methods, and variables.

Suggestion: Add the steps to the flow chart you created in Assignment 1 and use it to help you plan your program. You may include the updated flow chart in your submission, but it is not required.

A researcher hypothesizes that reaction time (RT) measured in milliseconds in response to a startling stimulus will be lower (faster) before people drink 5 beers than it will be afterward. A sample of 12 patients is presented with a startling stimulus, and their mean score is 6.08 milliseconds with an SD of 1.38. They drink 5 beers, another startling stimulus is presented, and participants’ mean reaction time is 14.25 milliseconds with an SD of 3.7. The raw scores and Z-scores were as follows:

RT before: 7 8 7 8 5 6 6 5 3 6 6 6

Z before: 0.97,1.79,0.97,1.79,-0.69, 0.14, 0.14, -0.69, -2.34, 0.14,0.14,0.14

RT after: 16,19,15,15,14,15,13,12,4,15,16,17

Z after: 0.49,1.34,0.21,0.21,-0.07,0.21,-0.35,-0.64,-2.90,0.21,0.49,0.78
