Two capacitors are identical, except that one is empty and the other is filled with a dielectric (κ = 4.69). The empty capacitor is connected to a 11.0-V battery. What must be the potential difference across the plates of the capacitor filled with a dielectric so that it stores the same amount of electrical energy as the empty capacitor?

Let's say you want to poll a random sample of 150 students on campus to see if they prefer to take online classes. Of course, if you took an actual poll you would only get one number (your sample proportion, p-hat). But, imagine all the possible samples of 150 students that you could draw and the imagined histogram of all the sample proportions from those samples. 1. What shape would the histogram of all the possible sample proportions (p-hat's) have? 2. Where would the center of that histogram be? (This answer should be a description in words based on what we know about p-hat sampling distributions.) Now, given the information that about 35% of students actually prefer to take classes online respond to the following: 3. Discuss the conditions necessary to use the normal model here and explain whether or not they are met. 4. If you were to use the normal model for this p-hat sampling distribution, what would be the parameters (mean and standard deviation) for your model

Almost all medical schools in the United States require students to take the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT). To estimate the mean score ? of those who took the MCAT on your campus, you will obtain the scores of an SRS of students. The scores follow a Normal distribution, and from published information you know that the standard deviation is 10.8 . Suppose that, unknown to you, the mean score of those taking the MCAT on your campus is 495 . In answering the questions, use ? ‑scores rounded to two decimal places. (a) If you choose one student at random, what is the probability that the student's score is between 490 and 500 ? Use Table A, or software to calculate your answer. (Enter your answer rounded to four decimal places.) probability: (b) You sample 36 students. What is the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of their average score ?¯ ? (Enter your answer rounded to two decimal places.) standard deviation: (c) What is the probability that the mean score of your sample is between 490 and 500 ? (Enter your answer rounded to four decimal places.) probability:

Three independent random samples of community college students were obtained to find out how many hours the students spent each week doing math homework outside of the classroom. The samples were made up of students in pre-algebra, elementary algebra, and intermediate algebra.

Answer questions 16 – 17 based on the following. A statistics teacher wants to see if there is any difference in the abilities of students enrolled in statistics today and those enrolled five years ago. A sample of final examination scores from students enrolled today and from students enrolled five years ago was taken. You are given the following information:
| Today | Five Years Ago | |
| x_bar | 82 | 88 |
| σ^2 | 112.5 | 54 |
| n | 45 | 36 |
16. The 95% confidence interval for the difference between the two population means (Today – Five Years Ago) is
a. -9.92 to -2.08
b. -3.08 to 3.92
c. -13.84 to -1.16
d. -24.77 to 12.23
e. 2.08 to 9.92
17. The statistics teacher wishes to test, using a two-tailed approach, the hypothesis of no difference between the population mean scores using a 5% level of significance. The p-value associated with this test is: When computing two-tailed p-values, remember to use the 2p approach!
a. 0.0013
b. 0.0026
c. 0.4987
d. 0.9987

Chapter 11 - Cost Behavior ( discussion board):
Please provide your thoughts on this simple example of cost behavior and then add an example of your own.
What do you typically pay for a large pizza? (There is no right
or wrong price - just pick a reasonable price)
What would be the cost per student if two students buy that
pizza?
What if four students buy a large pizza?
What does this illustrate about why average fixed costs change on a
per-unit basis?
Let's add the fact that a beverage costs $1 and each student
eating the pizza has one beverage. So, if two people were eating
the pizza, the total beverage bill would come to $2; if four
people, $4. The cost per beverage remains the same, but the total
cost depends on the number of people ordering a beverage.
What does this tell us about how total variable costs vary per
units (or in this case students)?
Please provide another basic example of cost behavior (related to fixed or variable).
