1- identify three specific variables that YOU think drove early Hominin evolution. These variables can be related to anatomy but remember—behaviors are the precedent prior to widespread anatomical changes of any species. From the two to three variables you identified, select one that may be the most influential in human evolution, and explain why YOU think this variable is the most important.
2- discuss the major anatomical differences between two separate species of early hominins from the Australopithecus genus. Compare and contrast the various anatomical and behavioral characteristics of the species you selected. Once you have done this, which of these two species is a more likely candidate as a direct ancestor to Anatomically Modern Humans?

XYZ Corp. reported a per share book value of $12 in its balance sheet on December 31, 2019. Analysts are forecasting consensus earnings per share of $1.80 for 2020 and $2.40 for 2021. The required return for common equity is 10 percent. The dividend payout is expected to be 50 percent of earnings.
a) Calculate the intrinsic value per share in early 2020 with a forecast that residual earnings will grow at a long-term GDP growth rate of 4% after 2021.
b) What is the market’s forecast of the residual earnings growth rate after 2021 that is implied by the $36 market price in early 2020?
c) Briefly explain the advantages and disadvantages of the residual earnings valuation model.

Read the following text and apply at least 3 guidelines for judging whether the observed association is causal to answer question.
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is the most common neurodevelopmental disorder and is associated with significant burden. More than half of children with ADHD continue to have this disorder in adulthood and live with many long-term adverse health and social conditions. The worldwide ADHD prevalence in children has been estimated at 7.2%. Genetic factors have been demonstrated to play a role in ADHD etiology with a heritability of 70%-80%. Other factors that play a role include low level of paternal education, low maternal age at delivery, prenatal smoking, prenatal illicit drug use, birth complications, low birth weight, preterm delivery, neonatal jaundice, childhood asthma, maternal depression, use of prenatal antidepressants and acetaminophen exposure. It has been demonstrated that exposure to antibiotics in early life disrupts the equilibrium of gut microbiota and could potentially contribute to the development of ADHD. In a population-based cohort study, researchers found that early antibiotic exposure was associated with the development of ADHD (RR=1.10, 95% Confidence interval 1.01, 1.65).
Is the association between early antibiotic exposure and ADHD causal?

Does delaying oral practice hinder learning a foreign language? Researchers randomly assigned 25 beginning students of Russian to begin speaking practice immediately and another 25 to delay speaking for 4 weeks. At the end of the semester both groups took a standard test of comprehension of spoken Russian. Suppose that in the population of all beginning students, the test scores for early speaking vary according to the N(30, 8) distribution and scores for delayed speaking have the N(27, 4) distribution.
(a) What is the sampling distribution of the mean score x in the early speaking group in many repetitions of the experiment? (Round your answers for s to two decimal places.)
| Mean | = |
| s | = |
What is the sampling distribution of the mean score y in
the delayed speaking group?
| Mean | = |
| s | = |
(b) If the experiment were repeated many times, what would be the
sampling distribution of the difference y - x
between the mean scores in the two groups? (Round your answer for
s to two decimal places.)
| Mean | = |
| s | = |
(c) What is the probability that the experiment will find
(misleadingly) that the mean score for delayed speaking is at least
as large as that for early speaking? (Round your answer to four
decimal places.)
