You should have 10 entries. There should be a minimum of 4 behavioral entries and 4 emotional entries, and the remaining 2 entries can be either type.
As you learn more concepts and theories, begin to fill in the third column, justifying your explanation for the behavior or emotion with a psychological theory. You must use a theory to justify your explanation for 8 of the 10 entries, 4 behavioral entries and 4 emotional entries.

1. An instructor believed that the students who earn a C or higher differ in the number of hours they spend studying, compared to students who receive a D or F. She collected the following data on two independent samples of students from a class of 150 students. Course Grade Hours Spent Studying A, B, or C: 9, 5, 12, 4, 7, 5, 4, 6, 1, 8 D or F: 3, 3, 1, 4, 0, 2, 3, 1, 4, 3 Using SPSS and a = .05, conduct an appropriate statistical test. There is no data file; you must enter the data yourself. Write the results in paragraph form (5 points) and attach your SPSS output (1 point).

In a certain species of moth, there are two variations in the number of black spots on the wings, either 2 or 4, which appear to be the result of a single gene.
Scientists hypothesize that 4 spots is dominant to two spots. They cross two individuals that appear to be heterozygous for this trait and 140 offspring are produced.
If 4 spots is in fact dominant:
1. how many would be expected to display 4 spots?
2. how many would be expected to display 2 spots?
What they observed was that 95 of the offspring have 4 spots and 45 have 2 spots. They ask you to use a chi-square test to determine if these results support their hypothesis. Remember , the null hypothesis is that 4 spots is dominant to 2 spots.
3. How many classes (outcomes) are there?
4. Calculate the chi-square. X2 =
5. How many degrees of freedom are there?
6. Use the table below. What is the critical value if we use a p of .05?
7. Based on your calculated X2 value and the critical value you determined would you reject the null hypothesis? (yes or no)
8. Are four spots dominant to two spots? (yes or no)

ABC Inc of Portland plans to build a water purification plant overseas. After conducting some study, the following info was gathered:
a. Initial Investment $7,000,000
b. Projected Cash flows: year 1: $850,000, year 2: $975,000, year 3: $1,000,000, year 4: $1,500,000, year 5: $2,000,000, year 6: $3,000,000
c. Cost of capital: 15 percent
Given that info determine the following:
1. NPV and IRR and recommend whether plant should be built or not.
2. the value overseas appreciates by 4 percent per year over the next six years, repeat part 1 and discuss go or no go

A researcher developed a training program designed to improve
memory retention. She applied this program to a population of
learning-disabled (LD) children in 2nd grade, where each
child received a moderately-intense (MI) and an intense (I) version
of the training program for 6 weeks. Afterwards, they were tested
with a standardized memory assessment. If she randomly selected
Child #5 to compare, which program version produced a better memory
score?

Two resistors of exactly the same resistance are hooked in series to a power supply and the total current: Itot(series) is measured. The same two resistors are then connected to the same power supply in parallel. The total parallel current is related to the total series current through the relationship:
Select one:
a. Itot(parallel) = 1/4 × Itot(series)
b. Itot(parallel) = 1/2 × Itot(series)
c. Itot(parallel) = 2 × Itot(series)
d. Itot(parallel) = 8 × Itot(series)
e. Itot(parallel) = 1/8 × Itot(series)
f. Itot(parallel) = 4 × Itot(series)
g. Itot(parallel) = Itot(series)

Question 1.
Determine the future worth in year 10 of a cash flow series that starts in year 0 (today) at $25,000 and decreases by 6% per year (through year 10). Use an interest rate of 6%.
Question 2.
Person opens a savings account today. In year 1, she deposited $5,000. She made no deposits in year 2 and 3 and then deposit $2,000 each for years 4 trough 6. Given an interest rate of 4%, how much would she have needed to deposit each year if she made expial payments in years 1 through 6 to have the same amount in the account at the end of year 6?
