   Payment of dividends	$   million
   Repurchase (Issue) stock	$   million
   Purchase (Sale) of short-term investments	$   million

Part B 
In another experiment, the intensity of the incident light and the temperature of the metal are held constant. Assuming that the initial light incident on the metal surface causes electrons to be ejected from the metal, what happens if the frequency of the incident light is increased?

Check all that apply.
   The work function of the metal increases.
   The number of electrons emitted from the metal per second increases.
   The maximum speed of the emitted electrons increases.
   The stopping potential increases.

Suppose that in a given round in an online market experiment, there are a 10 students assigned roles of sellers and 10 assigned roles as buyers. Altogether, they are assigned numbers 1,2,3....22. Each even numbered student is a buyer, and each odd numbered student is a seller. The costs of sellers are twice their student number. The value of buyers is his student number.

a) What is the market clearing quantity?

b) What is the highest possible market clearing price?

c) What is the lowest possible market clearing price?

1. An experiment was conducted to test the effect of different lighting systems and the presence or absence of a watchman on the average number of car burglaries per month at a parking garage. The data are in the following table and also in the file GARAGE, where the variables are named BURGLAR, LIGHTING and WATCHMAN.

1. Using the Lenth procedure, find which effect(s) (if any) appear significant.

effects

2. Interpret all of these significant effects.
3. Permanently upgrading the lighting in the garage will cost $700 per month. Hiring awatchman will cost $3000 per month. It is estimated that lawsuits and loss of business cost on average $2000 per burglary. Is it worth it to hire a watchman, install lights or both?

These are the results of a health experiment that investigated effectiveness of aspirin of reducing heart attacks. This was a placebo eonctrolled study where 22, 071 male doctors in the United States were given either 325 mg or aspirin or placebo pill every other day for 5 years. The following are the data collected over 5 years.

-List 1. the most appropriate statistical test. 2. null and alternative hypotheses. 3. calculate appropriate test statistic. 4. determine critical value. 5. statistical conclusion.

5. It is known that the temperature of a laboratory experiment (X) and the experiment’s percentage yield (Y ) approximately satisfy the linear regression assumptions. The following sample was collected: Temp 110 110 120 130 140 150 160 170 180 190 200 %Yield 45 52 53 59 63 69 74 78 86 89 97 (a) Plot the data and the sample least squares regression line. (b) Interpret the slope of your sample least squares regression line. (c) Given a temperature of 165 what is the expected %yield? (d) Compute a 95% C.I. for βˆ. (e) Interpret the C.I. constructed in (d).

Three groups are tested in an experiment and the results for the measurements are: Group 1: 5, 7, 5, 3, 5, 3, 3, 9 Group 2: 8, 1, 4, 6, 6, 4, 1, 2 Group 3: 7, 3, 4, 5, 2, 2, 3, 3 Test for the equality of the means at 5% significance.

the W's scientist at a pharmacy firm conducted an experiment of study the effectiveness of an herbal compound to treat common cold. individual was exposed to a cold virus, they was given herb or sugar solution. after several days they check each person condition, using a cold severity scale ranging from 0 to 5. no evidence of benfit of the compound
