(1 point) A Washington Post article from 2009 reported that "support for a government-run health-care plan to compete with private insurers has rebounded from its summertime lows and wins clear majority support from the public." More specifically, 71 percent of Democrats back the plan, while almost nine in 10 Republicans oppose it. Independents divide 51 percent in favor of and 42 percent against the legislation. 7% responded with "other". There were 812 Democrats, 566 Republicans and 786 Independents surveyed. Round all results to 4 decimal places.

Saber Energy, Inc. (Saber), entered into a sales contract with Tri-State Petroleum Corporation (Tri-State). The contract called for Saber to sell Tri-State 110,000 barrels of gasoline per month for six months. Saber was to deliver the gasoline through the colonial pipeline in Pasadena, Texas. The first 110,000 barrels were delivered on time. On August 1, Saber was informed that Tri-State was canceling the contract. Saber sued Tri-State for breach of contract and sought to recover its lost profits as damages. Tri-State admitted its breach but claimed that lost profits is an inappropriate measure of damages.

Answer using IRAC method:

1. In Saber's lawsuit against Tri-State, who wins and why?
2. How would a court interpret the contract if it simply required Tri-State to pay Saber $1 Billion as liquidated damages?
3. What are the social and ethical issues involved with the subject matter?

Consider a game in which two players, Fred and Barney, take turns removing matchsticks from a pile. They start with 21 matchsticks, and Fred goes first. On each turn, each player may remove either one, two, or three matchsticks. The player to remove the last matchstick wins the game.
(a) Suppose there are only 5 matchsticks left, and it is Fred’s turn. What move should Fred make to guarantee himself victory? Explain your reasoning.
(b) Suppose there are 10 matchsticks left, and it is Fred’s turn. What move should Fred make to guarantee himself victory? (Hint: Use your answer to part (a) and roll back.)
(c) Now start from the beginning of the game. If both players play optimally, who will win?
(d) What are the optimal strategies (complete plans of action) for each player?

Hope your writing looks readable and please draw the tree if possible.

The Republicans claim that more than 70% of Americans think the federal government has done a good job with the health crisis. The Democrats think otherwise, and want to challenge this claim in hopes of making political points against the Republicans in the upcoming election.

To do this, 300 Americans were surveyed, and 204 said that they think the federal government has done a good job with the health crisis.

The Federal Election Commission (FEC) requires any political claim be shown to be accurate at an α of .05.

A. Provide the appropriate hypothesis test criteria for the challenge:

B. Using the data from the sample, answer the five fill-in-the-blank questions, and make the correct hypothesis test conclusion.

Based on these results, we should:

• Reject Ho

• Accept Ho

C. Who wins this political argument, statistically; the Democrats or the Republicans?

You are considering investing in two common stocks holding them in a two-stock portfolio. Stock A has an expected return of 10% and a standard deviation of 11.2%. Stock B has an expected return of 16% and a standard deviation of 41.1%. if you invest 34% of your portfolio in Stock A and 66% in Stock B and if the correlation between the two stocks is 0.57, what is the portfolio's expected return and standard deviation?

Which of the following would be considered an example of systematic risk?

C program with functions

Make a dice game with the following characteristics:

must be two players with two dice.

when player 1 rolls the marker is annotated

when player 2 rolls the marker is annotated

in other words, for each roll the added scores must be shown.

Example:

Round 1:

player 1 score = 6

player 2 score = 8

Round 2:

player 1 score = 14

player 2 score = 20

Whoever reaches 35 points first wins.

if a player goes over 35 points, the last shot does not count, example:

If a player is at 30 points and when he rolls the two dice he gets 6 points, the sum (30 + 6) would be 36, it goes over 35 so that throw does not count and the score remains at 30.

Whoever gets double 3 or double 5 loses automatically.
