Andrew Thomas, a sandwich vendor at Hard Rock Cafe's annual Rockfest created a table of conditional values for the various alternatives (stocking decision) and states of nature (size of crowd):
Alternatives | States of Nature Big Average Small | ||
Large Stock | $22,000 | $12,000 | -$2,000 |
Average Stock | $14,000 | $10,000 | $6,000 |
Small Stock | $9,000 | $8,000 | $4,000 |
The probabilities associated with the states of nature are 0.3 for a big demand, 0.5 for an average demand, and 0.2 for a small demand.
1. Determine the alternative that provides Andrew the greatest Expected Monetary Value. What is this EMV?
2. What is the expected value under certainty?
3. Compute the expected value of perfect information, (EVPI)
4. Determine the appropriate alternative under uncertainty using Maximin. Provide support for your answer.

An element is recently discovered with ionization energy of 20eV. This element has excited states that have energies of 13eV, 15eV, 17.5eV and 19.2eV above ground state energy.
A) draw an energy level diagram, include ground state and all of exited states.
B) If 17.5eV photon is absorbed by an atom of this substance, in which states was the atom before it absorbed this photon.
C) What will be energies of all of the photons that could subsequently by emitted by this atom after the photon in part b is absorbed.
D) Determine the wavelength of all the photons found in part c and determine in which part of the electromagnetic spectrum they fall. Determine their approximate color.
E) Sketch the emission spectrum for this element showing only those lines that fall in the visible light range of EM spectrum. Label the lines with their wavelength.

Psychologists have discovered that human beings experience
several different states of consciousness during the course of a
day. For example, people have times when they are especially alert
and times when they are awake but not alert, often called
"daydreaming." Also, while people are asleep, they experience
different stages of sleep, each characterized by different patterns
of brain and bodily activity.
In a multi-paragraph essay, discuss the different states of
consciousness that you have experienced in the past 24 hours,
including any periods when you were asleep, alert, or
"daydreaming." Be sure to describe both the brain and bodily
activity you experienced during each state of consciousness.
Include information from class materials, readings, and research on
states of consciousness to support your discussion.

In the Clean Air Act as amended, Congress allowed California, which has serious problems with air quality, to adopt its own standards for emissions from cars and trucks, subject to the approval of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) according to certain standards. The Act also allowed other states to adopt California’s standards after EPA approval. In 2004, California adopted emissions standards for all new passenger vehicles and lightduty trucks sold in California beginning in 2009. The standards imposed decreasing limits on emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases (GHG) through 2016. While EPA approval was pending, other states adopted the California standards. A group of industry associations, automakers, and new car dealerships filed suit to block state adoption of the standards (including California). (a) Under the Environmental Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA), a designated federal agency sets fuel economy standards for new cars. The plaintiffs argued, among other things, that the EPCA, which explicitly prohibits states from adopting separate fuel economy standards, preempts states from adopting their own emission standards. Is the plaintiffs’ argument valid? Discuss. (b) Do the state emissions rules impose on the efforts of the federal government to address global warming internationally? Who should regulate GHGs, the states or the federal government? Both? Neither? Discuss. (c) The plaintiffs also argued that they would go bankrupt if they were forced to adhere to a different GHG standard for each state. Should they be granted relief on this basis? Does history support their claim? Discuss.
