1. Some would argue that the current child protective system is over interventionist and tends to disrupt families in pursuit of an idealized vision of family life. In particular, critics argue that the poor are most likely to suffer because their lives fall short of the middle-class norms that pervade protective agencies. Others argue that the protective system, especially the system we follow in Massachusetts (the "Boston" school) does not do enough to help children out of deference to parental authority and that this perpetuates the idea that children are a form of parental property Which position do you favor? What kinds of deference do you think parents are entitled to? How would you decide when intervention is appropriate? How do you account for class and cultural styles? Please discuss these ideas thoughtfully and thoroughly with reference to class discussion, your notes, and readings you have done.

For the following cases, you may use either the P-value approach or the rejection region approach to present a full hypothesis test, including:

1. Identifying the claim and H₀ and H_a,
2. Finding the appropriate standardized test statistic,
3. Finding the P-value or the rejection region,
4. Deciding whether to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis, and
5. Interpreting the decision in the context of the original claim.

1. A guidance counselor claims that high school students in a college preparatory program score higher on the ACT test than those in a general program.  The mean ACT score for a random sample of 49 students in the college preparatory program is 22.2 with a standard deviation of 4.8.  The mean ACT score for a random sample of 46 students in the general program is 20.0 with a standard deviation of 5.4.  Perform the appropriate test on the counselor’s claim with regard to the difference between the mean ACT scores at α = 0.10.

Women athletes at the University of Colorado – Boulder have a long-term graduation rate of 62% (Source: The Chronicle of Higher Education). Over the past several years, a simple random sample of 42 women athletes at the school showed that 22 eventually graduated. Does this indicate that the population proportion of women athletes who graduate from the University of Colorado – Boulder is now less than 62%? Use a 5% significance level and the Traditional method.

1. Company X is issuing bonds. They plan to issue 10,000, $1000 par, 7% bonds that pay semi-annual for 5 years. What are the proceeds from this bond sale if the market rate is 8%?

2. Company X is issuing bonds. They plan to issue 10,000, $1000 par, 6% bonds that pay semi-annual for 5 years. If the bond price is $980, what is the market annual rate-of-return? (percentage, 2 decimals, e.g. xx.xx)

3. Assume you will make $40,000/year with a high school diploma. You will make $70,000/year with accounting degree. Assume you work for 40 years and earn 8%. How much is that accounting degree worth? (hint: compare PVs)

4. If the price of the bond is the same as the par value, then the bond is a:

Group of answer choices a. premium bond. b. discount bond c. at par bond

Big State U charges in-state and out-of-state students different tuition rates. In-state students pay $2,000 a term and respond according to the following demand equation:

Q₁ = 25.000 - 3T i

Where Qi is in-state student enrollment and Ti is in-state tuition. Out-of-state students pay $4,500 a term and their demand is:

Qo = 45000 - 8To

WHere Qo is out-of-state enrollment and To is out-of-state tuition.

a) Calculate the number of each type of student which will enroll and the total enrollment at Big State. Calculate price elasticity for each type of student.

b) Assume the marginal cost for students is $3,000 per student. Is Big State charging an optimal tuition rate for in-state students? Explain.  

c) Assume the school wishes to institute these tuition changes. What might be the response of students? What about state taxpayers?
