1. We are living in interesting times.  Over the past 2 weeks, the S&P 500 Index has dropped over 10%.  At the same time, the short-end of the U.S. Treasury yield curve is approaching zero and long-dated yields are at all-time lows. Please evaluate the dynamics of this situation.  If the risk-free rate is falling, why aren’t asset prices increasing?  How would you describe the flow of funds and the direction of causality?  What does CAPM say about equity beta (β) in the current environment?  What predictions can you make based upon the current U.S. Treasury yield curve?

1. True or False: The central limit theorem justifies the common assumption that the distribution of a
product’s parameters is normal.

2. True or false: An X bar chart with points falling above the upper control limit is in control.

3.True or False: One or more points that fall outside control limits indicates that a process is NOT capable

4. One-third of the units produced by a particular process step do not meet customer-specific tolerances.
Which of the following statements, in the language of SPC, is true?
__a. The process is in control.
__b. The process is out of control.
__c. The process is capable.
__d. The process is not capable.
__e. None of the answers are correct.

The Rocket Model of Team Effectiveness is prescriptive in that it tells leaders what steps to take and when to take them when building new teams. The model can also be used as a diagnostic tool for understanding where existing teams are falling short and what leaders need to do to get them back on track.

You are to choose to describe this model and its components either as a prescriptive or diagnostic tool within a fictional or existing work environment you may be involved with.

Explain all 8 of the components of the model and their relation to your chosen setting. How can the use of this model support an effective team within your chosen setting?

7. The following is the number of passengers per ight in a sample of 34 ights
from Ottawa, Ontario, to Hampton, Washington in 2018.
78 73 75 99 50 58 25 56 57 55 59 55 62 69 77 66 51
21 53 30 51 63 52 57 68 75 66 65 69 79 72 65 53 50

(f) Find the percentage of measurements falling in the intervals xks for k =
1; 2; 3.

(g) How do you compare the percentages obtained in part (f) with those
given by the Empirical Rule? Explain.

(See Fluids in the News article titled “Modeling parachutes in a water tunnel”.) Flow characteristics for a 35-ft-diameter prototype parachute are to be determined by tests of a 1.0-ft-diameter model parachute in a water tunnel. Some data collected with the model parachute indicate a drag Fm = 22 lb when the water velocity is 4 ft/s.
(a) Find the predictor equation. Assume the drag to be a function of the velocity, V, the fluid density, ρ, and the parachute diameter, D. Note that model variables have subscripts m.

(b) Use the model data to predict the drag on the prototype parachute falling through air at 10 ft/s.

The temperature in Winterberg is a sinusoidal function in time. 120 days ago, the temperature was at its maximum value of 55◦F. The tempearture has been falling since then, and 20 days from today it will reach its minimum value of 10◦F.

(a) Write a function f(t) in sinusoidal standard form for the temperature in Winterberg, in Fahrenheit, t days from today

b)People can only ski when the temperature is below 28◦F. Over the next 700 days (starting today), for how many days is it cold enough to ski? You can round all your answers to the nearest day.

1. A slurry of particles with density 2000 kg/m3 is to be loaded into a thickener where the resulting voidage fraction is 0.89 and the superficial particle velocity is 2.8 mm/s. Calculate the particle system velocity.
2. Consider batch sedimentation system performed within a measuring cylinder where solids are settled according to Type 1 settling. The voidage fraction after the settling is 0.35 and the particle density is 2500 kg/m3 while the particle velocity is 0.0015 m/s.
2.1. What is the net flow of the solids?
2.2. Calculate the free falling velocity or terminal velocity if the correlation for the exponent n = 0.4.

Design the circuit that gives the total number of your school number as an asynchronous counter. If 4 + 6 + 0 + 4 + 1 + 8 + 0 + 4 + 0 = 27, Mode 28 counter will be designed. FF with negative edge triggering will be used. You will definitely show the clock pulse, input and output connections of the FFs you will use. Otherwise, you will not get points because the counter will not work or it will work incorrectly. The circuit diagram will be drawn by hand

İmportant note:When solving your questions, remember to show the falling or rising edges of the signals. Do not leave cells empty in Karnough placements. Please show the groupings

Hampton Industries had $70,000 in cash at year-end 2018 and $21,000 in cash at year-end 2019. The firm invested in property, plant, and equipment totaling $300,000 — the majority having a useful life greater than 20 years and falling under the alternative depreciation system. Cash flow from financing activities totaled +$170,000. Round your answers to the nearest dollar, if necessary.

1. What was the cash flow from operating activities? Cash outflow, if any, should be indicated by a minus sign.
