In this assignment, you are asked to begin to pull together the marketing concepts we have been discussing and to think ahead. Entrepeneurship is really a concept of evolution, an idea that often begins as a small business. Before it became Walmart was we know it, Sam Walton's store began in a small town in Arkansas. A similar history exists for McDonald's -- a small hamburger stand in California. In the auto industry, the Dodge Brothers really did exist.
Look around you. Perhaps you know someone who owns or manages a small business. Think about how they bring products (or services) to the marketplace. What are the risks?
Small business is a critical aspect of distribution in the United States. If you were given $150,000 to start a small business, what would it be? What would you do first?
Some of you may be fans of The Shark Tank (on ABC, some cable channels, and Hulu). What are the questions the sharks ask before investing? Other program with a similar concept but different theme are on CNBC. Think about why those questions are important.
Tell me about your small business idea and what you would do to get if off the ground? Be sure to explain your business concept and what you would use the investor's money to accomplish.

Certain states require your vehicle to be inspected for safety on a yearly basis. Police randomly stop drivers from time to time to ensure that the car's safety inspection is up to date. Last year, an average of 8% of cars stopped were ticketed for having expired stickers. The state then funded a marketing campaign to increase awareness of the safety inspection requirement in hopes of lowering the amount of tickets issued. Last month the police issued tickets for expired inspections to 45 of 614 cars they stopped. Is this evidence to suggest that the marketing campaign was effective? Assume all conditions have been met.
Part 1 of 3: 2 pts
State the null and alternative hypotheses in symbols and words. Assume conditions have been met.
Part 2 of 3: 6 pts
Perform the appropriate hypothesis test "by hand" using the equation editor. Assume an alpha level of 0.05 for your test. Be sure to use the appropriate probability notation. Then find the corresponding confidence interval for the proportion of cars whose safety inspections have expired. Use α=0.05.
Part 3 of 3: 2 pts
State your conclusion making sure to site whether we reject or fail to reject and what that means in context. Then support your conclusion with the results from your confidence interval. Be sure to note whether the hypothesized value falls in our interval and what that means.

Consultant fees associated with the business combination |
|
Contingent consideration payable if share price falls |
|
Cash due in 1 years’ time |
|
Shares issued by the acquirer, but they are not a listed company |
|
Land and building transferred by the acquirer |
|
Costs related to issue of shares |

Provide two real-world survey questions that would be useful to you in a professional application or in your everyday life by addressing the following:
1). Your first should be a question associated with a categorical (qualitative) variable. Explain the measuring scale associated with the question and if the data collected is cross-sectional or time series. What might you be able to infer about the data you would collect?
2). Your second should be a question associated with a quantitative variable. Explain the measuring scale associated with the question. Also, determine whether the variable associated with the survey question is discrete or continuous and if the data collected is cross-sectional or time series. What might you be able to infer about the data you would collect?

1).a) Show that the bound state wave function ψb (Eqn 2.129) and
the continuum state wave
function ψk (Eqn 2.131-132 with coefficients 2.136-137) are
orthogonal, i.e., 〈ψb|ψk〉 = 0. (b)
[bonus] Explain why the orthogonality exists, example as, are they
eigenstates of an operator? If so,
what is the operator? If not explain.

how these Die-tools are traditionally manufactured.
6 types of Traditional manufacturing methods relevant to die manufacture e.g laser jet cutting, water jet cutting, milling, lathing etc? (should cover following information and no more than 300 words for each method) Your discussion in this section should include the following information regarding.
1. how method creates die/part and what materials can it use
2. what are the tolerances and finish of die/part
3. what are the material properties/strength of the final product
4. how long does it take to produce the desired die/part and approx cost.
5. Advantages and disadvantages.

In the past two weeks you have learned about the relational data model and hopefully had some practice creating a normalized relational schema through the use of entity/relationship modeling.
Based on what you know, please think about various types of software application. Consider what the databases that back these applications might look like.
Describe at least one application--whether already existing or hypothetical--for which you believe the relational model would NOT be a good fit. Explain why.
Describe another application--already existing or hypothetical--for which you believe the relational model WOULD be a good fit. Explain why.

1. (a) With the aid of a labeled sketch, describe an apparatus for the generation of x-rays.
(b) With the aid of labeled sketches, describe the three primary physical mechanisms for the absorption of x-rays in solids.
(c) Make a sketch of a typical x-ray spectrum generated by a hospital apparatus, labeling three primary features of the spectrum.
(d) For an x-ray apparatus containing a molybdenum target of atomic number, z = 42:
(i) What is the wavelength for the shortest characteristic x-ray emission? You may use the relationship for the energy of a quantum state, ???? = ?13.6???? (?? ? 1) 2 ?? 2 ? where z is the atomic number of an element, n is the quantum state number where n = 1 represents the ground state.
(ii) Where the accelerating potential is 60 keV, what is the minimum wavelength of emission?
(iii) If the accelerating potential is increased, explain whether the wavelengths of the K? and K? lines increase, decrease, or remain the same?
