A researcher wants to determine the relationship between the typing speed of administrative assistants at a major university is related to the time that it takes for the admin assistant to learn to use a new software program and may be used to predict learning time. Data are gathered from 12 departments at the university.

Dept Typing speed (words per minute) Learning time (hours)

A 48 7

B 74 4

C 52 8

D 79 3.5

E 83 2

F 56 6

G 85 2.3

H 63 5

I 88 2.1

J 74 4.5

K 90 1.9

L 92 1.5

Run a regression analysis of the data on Excel. Use your output to answer the following:

d. What is the value of the correlation coefficient between typing speed and learning time? What does is say about the strength of the relationship?

Fifteen students from Poppy High School were accepted at Branch University. Of those students, six were offered academic scholarships and nine were not. Mrs. Bergen believes Branch University may be accepting students with lower ACT scores if they have an academic scholarship. The newly accepted student ACT scores are shown here.

Academic scholarship: 25, 24, 23, 21, 22, 20
No academic scholarship: 23, 25, 30, 32, 29, 26, 27, 29, 27

Part A: Do these data provide convincing evidence of a difference in ACT scores between students with and without an academic scholarship? Carry out an appropriate test at the α = 0.02 significance level. (5 points)

Part B: Create and interpret a 98% confidence interval for the difference in the ACT scores between students with and without an academic scholarship. (5 points)

Twenty students from Sherman High School were accepted at Wallaby University. Of those students, eight were offered military scholarships and 12 were not. Mr. Dory believes Wallaby University may be accepting students with lower SAT scores if they have a military scholarship. The newly accepted student SAT scores are shown here.

Military scholarship: 850, 925, 980, 1080, 1200, 1220, 1240, 1300
No military scholarship: 820, 850, 980, 1010, 1020, 1080, 1100, 1120, 1120, 1200, 1220, 1330

Part A: Do these data provide convincing evidence of a difference in SAT scores between students with and without a military scholarship? Carry out an appropriate test at the α = 0.05 significance level. (5 points)

Part B: Create and interpret a 95% confidence interval for the difference in SAT scores between students with and without a military scholarship.

1) Rising worker productivity means that more workers are demanded, other things being equal. When workers have access to better tools, they can produce more, and when they produce more, they become more valuable to their companies. If this works, then why do some people oppose technological progress, fearing that better technology will lead to less, not more, jobs being created?

2) Suppose that you have a choice between two options. Option A - you can study four years in the world’s best university, but you are not allowed to tell anyone that you have studied there. Option B - after 4 years of never once attending the world’s best university, you will get the diploma from this school and you can display it whenever and however you please. Which of these options would enhance your future earnings more and why?

A simple subsidy (s) reduces the price of a good from P to P-s. On the other hand, a voucher scheme grants to the consumer the ability to consume a stated quantity of the good (label it X1s on the horizontal axis) in exchange for the voucher (which has no cost). Assume the high school graduating class of 2018 in Columbia received a voucher that would cover all tuition and fees for either 60 hours at a community college or 30 hours at a state university.

a. Illustrate and explain why a voucher scheme would be particularly effective in encouraging the consumption of the vouchered good for consumers who would otherwise have chosen little or none of the good. The voucher has no cost to the consumer and it cannot be sold (4 points).

b. Explain how introduction of this voucher into a market where it did not exist before will affect the market price of community college or university education and the feasible budget set for the consumer

Matt and Meg Comer are married and file a joint tax return. They do not have any children. Matt works as a history professor at a local university and earns a salary of $66,000. Meg works part-time at the same university. She earns $31,800 a year. The couple does not itemize deductions. Other than salary, the Comers’ only other source of income is from the disposition of various capital assets (mostly stocks). (Use the tax rate schedules ,Dividends and Capital Gains Tax Rates.) (Round final answers to the nearest whole dollar amount.)

b. What is the Comers’ tax liability for 2018 if they report the following capital gains and losses for the year?

1. Boeing imported a Rolls-Royce jet engine for £6.5 mil payable in one year
   • The US interest rate 4.00% per annum
   • The UK interest rate 6.50% per annum
   • The Spot exchange rate   $ 1.80/£ today

The company decides to use options to hedge the risk of pound exchange one year later. What kind of options should the company buy? Put or Call?

Assume the strike price of the option is $1.82/£ with a premium of $.02/£ paid today. What is the dollar cost one year later if the spot rate then is 1.60 and 2.00 respectively?

How to utilize the money market tools to hedge the risk of pound exchange one year later? In particular, answer which loan (US or UK) to borrow and to lend? How much is the dollar cost one year later (a number you would know today)?

Women from some cultures may profit greatly from emphasizing their pain during childbirth. A labor and delivery nurse reported that the most difficult patient she ever attended was Robabeh Farag, an Iranian woman, who yelled and screamed for the entire duration of her labor. After she delivered their child, her husband presented her with a three-karat diamond ring. When her nurse commented on the expensive gift, she responded dramatically, "Of course. He made me suffer so much!" Iranian custom is to compensate a woman for her suffering during childbirth by giving her gifts. The greater the suffering, the more expensive the gifts she will receive, especially if she delivers a boy. Her cries indicate how much she is suffering. A young Iranian doctor recently told me that when his wife has a baby, he will present her with a diamond ring or a watch. American nurses value cooperation; a cooperative patient is one who is stoic and follows directions. Uncooperative patients, like Robabeh Farag, are often avoided. How can hospital personnel deal with the variety of expressions of women's pain during labor and delivery?

What is your culture regarding the pain of child delivery?

How do you evaluate benefiting from the pain of baby delivery? Can be labeled this case as a right or wrong cultural behavior?
