Financial analysts have estimated the returns on shares of Drucker Corporation and the overall market portfolio under various economic conditions as follows. The return for Drucker in the following three economic states of nature are forecasted to be: -15% in recession, +9% in moderate growth, and +30% in a boom. Estimates for the market as a whole in the same economic states are -8% in recession, +10% in moderate growth, and +23% in boom. The analyst considers each state to be equally likely. Using these data, compute the beta of Drucker Corporation's stock.

An 18 year old woman has come to the clinic for confirmation of pregnancy. She states that she has missed three periods, and a home pregnancy test 2 days ago was positive. The client states she does not like going to the doctor and the only reason she is at the clinic is because her boyfriend wants to make sure that she is really pregnant. What approach should the nurse take in regard to assessment, care, and intervention for this client? What are the positive signs of pregnancy that the provider will look for?

We have potential of
V (x) = ( 0, 0 ≤ x ≤ a.
∞, elsewhere.
a) Find the ground state energy and the first and second excited states, if an electron is enclosed in this potential of size a = 0.100 nm.
b) Find the ground state energy and the first and second excited states, if a 1 g metal sphere is enclosed in this potential of size a = 10.0 cm.
c) Are the quantum effects important for both systems? Explain why or why not.
d) Use the uncertainty principle to estimate the velocities of the electron and the metal sphere.

4. As we discussed in class, revenue from gambling is, in some states, generating more revenue than the corporate income tax. There a several reasons/issues that exist in the current corporate tax model being utilized by the states. However, we also know that state and local governments are increasing relying on gambling to generate revenue to support their financial plans. Please explain some of the reasons for the reduction in corporate tax revenues, and the policy makers should be aware of as they consider this revenue source?

Accept/Reject the following statements by providing a brief argument for/against each. Draw an example, if applicable, that supports your argument. (A simple true/false answer will not earn you any points. I am also not looking for formal proofs.)
a. A Place-Transition net system with infinite reachability set will also be unbounded
b. A Petri net system will be reversible if all states in its reachability set are home states
c. An unbounded PN system will also be deadlock free.

8.2 Explain the game theoretic formulation of the Hobbesian and Lockean states of nature based on Axelrod’s Evolution of Cooperation. How do the states differ in the possibilities for cooperative behavior in the absence of government? How do these differences affect the social contracts that members of the societies would voluntarily enter? What does game theory tell us about the role of social contracts in promoting cooperation? You do not need to use precise notation, but you should be as verbally precise as possible.

BUSINESS LAW: Roderick’s of Burbank, Inc., is a corporation selling lingerie. Roderick’s is incorporated in the State of Delaware; it has its headquarters in the State of California; it is registered to do business in Nevada, New Jersey, and Indiana. Roderick’s has repeatedly sent sales representatives into the states of Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi. It has also, on one occasion, published newspaper advertisements in Rhode Island and Massachusetts. In which states will Roderick’s be subject to in personam jurisdiction? Bonus hint: Look at the International Shoe case.

For each chemical reaction or physical change, record your observations (i.e. color changes, a ppt or solid formation, gas bubbles/odors, heat production, etc.). Observations should be detailed descriptions of WHAT you see, hear, smell, and feel. Recording a (+/–) is NOT an observation!
Short Answers:
1. Zn/HCl (single displacement) OBSERVATIONS:
2. NaHCO3/HCl (double displacement) OBSERVATIONS:
3. Sugar (C12H22O11) (decomposition) OBSERVATIONS:
4.CuSO4•5H2O (decomposition) OBSERVATIONS:
5. Fe/CuSO4 (single displacement) OBSERVATIONS:
6. NH3/HCl (combination) OBSERVATIONS:
7. Cu/HCl and Al/HCl (single displacement) OBSERVATIONS (for BOTH):
8. K2SO4/Ba(NO3)2 (double displacement) OBSERVATIONS:
9. NaOH/HCl (double displacement) OBSERVATIONS:
QUESTIONS:
1. Which procedure(s) [#1 – #9] were NOT chemical reaction(s) as predicted above (there are two!)? Write the reaction(s) including physical states. How were you able to determine this (i.e. one is a physical change and one procedure did not react = no reaction)?
2. Which procedure(s) [#1 – #9] produced water(g) vapor (there are two possibilities!)? Write the reaction(s) including physical states. Which procedure resulted in a physical change?
3. Which procedure(s) [#1 – #9] produced a gas other than water(g) vapor (there are three!)? Write the reaction(s) including physical states. 4
. Which procedure(s) [#1 – #9] produced a solid from two non-solids (there are two!)? Write the reaction(s) including physical states.
5. Which procedure(s) [#1 – #9] produced heat (there is one!)? Write the reaction including physical states. 1/25/2018 9/9
6. Which procedure(s) [#1 – #9] produced copper metal (there is one!)? Write the reaction including physical states.
7. What is the difference between the denotations (aq) and (l)? Give a specific example of each one.

Will is a 4-month-old infant born at 34 weeks of gestation. Will’s mother states that he has not been able to go to daycare because he has been coughing and has had a fever for the past 3 days. She states that today, he has been unable to feed well from the bottle because of copious nasal secretions. Subjective Data Mother complains that her infant has had a cough for 3 days. Mother states that her infant is having trouble sleeping. Will has not voided in the past 6 hours. Objective Data Birth weight: 1.9 kg Today’s weight: 5.5 kg Vital signs: temp, 38º C; pulse, 186 bpm; resp, 60 breaths/min; blood pressure, 90/52 mm Hg: pulse oximetry 93% Thick yellow nasal secretions Nasal flaring with moderate intercostal retractions Breath sounds decreased with crackles bilaterally to auscultation Will is a 4-month-old infant born at 34 weeks of gestation.
