Which evolutionary process would you argue is currently causing the largest impact on the evolution of the tropical field cricket in the Hawaiian islands? Be sure to explain why this evolutionary process is having a greater impact than other evolutionary processes. You will be evaluated on the plausibility and provided support (citations needed) of your response

You are attempting to value a call option with an exercise price of $145 and one year to expiration. The underlying stock pays no dividends, its current price is $145, and you believe it has a 50% chance of increasing to $155 and a 50% chance of decreasing to $135. The risk-free rate of interest is 5%. Based upon your assumptions, calculate your estimate of the the call option's value using the two-state stock price model. Answer is not $4.76

6. The researcher can choose how wide a bin of a histogram can be-True or false?

16. Suppose that three book publishers were interested in the number of fiction paperbacks adult consumers purchase per month. Each publisher conducted a survey. In the survey, adult consumers were asked the number of fiction paperbacks they had purchased the previous month. The results are as follows:

Publisher A

  Publisher B

Publisher C

1. Find the relative frequencies for each survey. Write them in the charts.
2. Using either a graphing calculator, computer, or by hand, use the frequency column to construct a histogram for each publisher's survey. For Publishers A and B, make bar widths of one. For Publisher C, make bar widths of two.
3. In complete sentences, give two reasons why the graphs for Publishers A and B are not identical.
4. Would you have expected the graph for Publisher C to look like the other two graphs? Why or why not?
5. Make new histograms for Publisher A and Publisher B. This time, make bar widths of two.
6. Now, compare the graph for Publisher C to the new graphs for Publishers A and B. Are the graphs more similar or more different? Explain your answer.

18. Twenty-five randomly selected students were asked the number of movies they watched the previous week. The results are as follows.

Table 2.67

1. Construct a histogram of the data.
2. Complete the columns of the chart.

In a population of 158 people: 85 men and 73 women, it was found that 60 men and 46 women had health insurance, the rest no. 40 of the men with health insurance and 9 of the men without insurance, visited the MD office more than 5 times last year. In the other hand, 35 of the women with insurance and 8 of the women without insurance, visited the MD office more than 5 times last year. Giving this information, construct a probability tree and ask yourself 2 questions about the distribution of this population.

Please type out answer, thank you.

Question 1

On October 1, 2018, the Marshall Company sold a large piece of machinery to the Hammond Construction Company for $80,000. The cost of the machine was $40,000. Hammond made a down payment of $10,000 and agreed to pay the remaining balance in seven equal monthly installments of $10,000, plus interest at 12% on the unpaid balance, beginning November 1.

Required:

1. Identify three alternative methods for recognizing revenue and costs for the situation described and compute the amount of gross profit that would be recognized in 2018 using each method.
2. Discuss the circumstances under which each of the three methods would be used.

Question 2

Harvey Alexander, an all-league professional football player, has just declared free agency. Two teams, the San Francisco 49ers and the Dallas Cowboys, have made Harvey the following offers to obtain his services:

With both contracts, the annual salary will be paid in one lump sum at the end of the football season.

Required:

You have been hired as a consultant to Harvey’s agent, Phil Marks, to evaluate the two contracts. Write a short letter to Phil with your recommendation including the method you used to reach your conclusion. Assume that Harvey has no preference between the two teams and that the decision will be based entirely on monetary considerations. Also assume that Harvey can invest his money and earn an 8% annual return.

7. The following data represent the number of workdays absent during the past year, y, and the number of years employed by the company x, for seven employees randomly selected from a large company. Assume data is normally distributed.

Y 2 0 5 6 4 9 2

X 7 8 2 3 5 3 7

The slope estimate (b1) was found to be = -1.09 That is:

b 1= nExy - (Ex) (EY)

---------------------------- = - 1.09

  nEx^{2 - (EX)2}

a) Using appropriate statistical techniques and the above-added information, find the least squares estimate of the regression equation. i. e. What is the linear regression equation?

b) Using the proper (hypothesis) statistical test, support or refute the assumption above, i.e. there is a linear relationship between years employed and absenteeism. [

Note: S(b) = 0.28425

In each of the following situations, indicate whether Walters, CPA is using unrestricted random (UR), systematic random (SR), haphazard (H), or block (B) selection.?

A. Walters created a list of all sales invoices to verify that they were supported by the appropriate shipping documents. Invoice number 15 was selected first for examination, followed by the invoices numbered 30, 45, 60, 75, 90, and so on until 40 invoices had been selected.

?B. To test the occurrence assertion regarding sales invoices, Walters randomly selected invoices from the database storage disk for examination.

?C. To ensure proper authorization of payroll functions, Walters selected all transactions during the last 5 days of each pay period to be included in the sample.

?D. Sales invoices are commonly stored in a filing cabinet during the 30-day return period before being input in the company's database. To ensure the 30-day return period was not exceeded, Walters decided to pull a few invoices from each drawer until the desired sample size was collected for examination.

?E. T&T Company's purchase orders are already pre-numbered and listed in numerical order within the company's database. As a result, Walters was able to use one of the firm's computer programs to identify random numbers and match each number with a corresponding purchase order to test the accuracy assertion.

?F. Using a random number table, Walters identified a series of 50 numbers and located the corresponding employee identification number to select time cards for examination.

?G. Walters used a computer listing of T&T's credit memos, which totaled 2,400 items, to select 4 random starting points for examination. The remaining memos were identified for testing by selecting every 24th item until the sample size reached 100 memos.

Valdosta Chemical Company manufactures two industrial chemical products in a joint process. In May, 10,000 gallons of input costing $60,000 were processed at a cost of $150,000. The joint process resulted in 8,000 pounds of Resoline and 2,000 pounds of Krypto. Resoline sells for $25 per pound, and Krypto sells for $50 per pound. Management generally processes each of these chemicals further in separable processes to produce more refined chemical products. Resoline is processed separately at a cost of $5 per pound. The resulting product, Resolite, sells for $35 per pound. Krypto is processed separately at a cost of $15 per pound. The resulting product, Kryptite, sells for $95 per pound. Required: 2-a. Allocate the company’s joint production costs for May using the physical-units method. 2-b. Allocate the company’s joint production costs for May using the relative-sales-value method. 2-c. Allocate the company’s joint production costs for May using the net-realizable-value method. 3-a. Valdosta’s management is considering an opportunity to process Kryptite further into a new product called Omega. The separable processing will cost $40 per pound. Packaging costs for Omega are projected to be $6 per pound, and the anticipated sales price is $130 per pound. Calculate the incremental profit or loss from processing Kryptite into Omega. 3-b. Should Kryptite be processed further into Omega? (The solutions to this problem that are already posted are not right and unclear please help!!!!!!
