Steam issues from the nozzle of a De-level turbine at
a velocity of 1000 m/s at an angle of 20ᵒ. The
blade velocity is 300 m/s and blades are symmetrical. The mass flow
rate is 0.5 kg/s and a friction
factor is 0.8. With the help of velocity diagram, determine 1)
Blade efficiency 2) Power developed 3)
Stage efficiency if the nozzle efficiency is 95%

. If you have $30,000 invested in each of two stocks and $20,000 invested in each of another three stocks and the betas on the stocks above are 0.8, 1.1, 1.0, 1.2 and 1.4, respectively, what is the beta of your portfolio, and what is the required return on the portfolio if the risk-free rate is 4.6% and the return on the market portfolio is 10.4%? What are the risk premiums for the market and for your portfolio?

Suppose that, in the absence of insurance, the daily demand for visits to a clinic is given by Qd = 200 – 0.5P, where c is the coinsurance rate and P is the price charged by the clinic.
a. Calculate the quantity demanded when P is $100.
b. Calculate daily revenues when P is $100. Now assume that customers pay a coinsurance rate,
c. You will need to modify the demand function to account for the coinsurance. See page 105 of the Bernell text for some tips. c. Calculate the quantity demanded when P is $100 and the coinsurance rate is 0.4.
d. Calculate the daily revenue for the values given in (c). e. Calculate the quantity demanded when P is $100 and the coinsurance rate is 0.8.
f. Calculate the daily revenue for the values given in
(e). Assume the clinic’s daily capacity is 100 customers.
g. Calculate the price the clinic should set to exactly use its entire capacity when there is no insurance (i.e., the coinsurance rate is 1).
h. Calculate the price the clinic should set to exactly use its entire capacity when there is a coinsurance rate of 0.8

In a study, researchers wanted to measure the effect of alcohol on the hippocampal region, the portion of the brain responsible for long-term memory storage, in adolescents. The researchers randomly selected 13 adolescents with alcohol use disorders to determine whether the hippocampal volumes in the alcoholic adolescents were less than the normal volume of 9.02 cm3. An analysis of the sample data revealed that the hippocampal volume is approximately normal with x̅ = 8.09 cm3 and s = 0.8 0.8 cm3. Conduct the appropriate test at the α = 0.01 level of significance.

Anemia (low healthy blood cells or hemoglobin) has an important role in exercise performance. However, the direct link between rapid changes of hemoglobin and exercise performance is still unknown. A study investigated 18 patients with a blood disorder (beta-thalassemia). Participants in the study performed an exercise test before and the day after receiving a blood transfusion. Data are given in the table.
