A Fair Isaac Corporation (FICO) score is used by credit agencies such as banks to determine whether to lend money and the interest rate to charge. Its value ranges from 300 to 850 and if you have a score over 700, you are considered to be a "quality" credit risk. The mean credit score of average income earners in California is estimated by Fair Isaac to be 664. A recent survey of 47 high income earners in California had a mean FICO score of 677 and a standard deviation of s=60. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the mean FICO score of high income earners in California is equal to 664, the mean score of average income earners in California.
The test statistic is?: ["3.24", "2.88", "1.87", "2.27", "1.49"]
Identify the range of the p-value: ["0.01 < P-value < 0.02", "0.1 < P-value < 0.2", "0.2 < P-value", "0.02 < P-value < 0.05", "P-value < 0.01", "0.05 < P-value < 0.1"]
Based on this we?: ["Reject the null hypothesis", "Fail to reject the null hypothesis"]
Conclusion: There ["does not", "does"] appear to be enough evidence to support the claim that the mean FICO score of high income earners in California is equal to 664, the mean score of average income earners in California.

Suppose the inflation rate is expected to be 6.3% next year, 4.15% the following year, and 3.65% thereafter. Assume that the real risk-free rate, r*, will remain at 2.3% and that maturity risk premiums on Treasury securities rise from zero on very short-term bonds (those that mature in a few days) to 0.2% for 1-year securities. Furthermore, maturity risk premiums increase 0.2% for each year to maturity, up to a limit of 1.0% on 5-year or longer-term T-bonds.

* @author Jo Belle
* @version 0.2 (10/05/2020)
*/
public class Shape{
private double area;
public Shape(){ area = 0.0; }
public Shape( double a ){ this.area = a; }
public void setArea( double a ){ area = a; }
public double getArea(){ return area; }
public String toString(){
return "Shape:\n\tarea: " + area;

public class ShapeDriver{
public static void main( String[] args ){
Circle cir = new Circle( );
cir.setRadius( 5.0 );
System.out.println( cir.toString() );
}
}
Given the code above, write a Circle class (and save it in a file named Circle.java) that inherits from the Shape class. Include in your Circle class, a single private field double radius. Also include a method void setRadius(double r) (which also sets area) and a method double getRadius() (which also returns the current radius). Change the accessibility modifier for area in the Shape class to be more appropriate for a base class. Make sure that ShapeDriver's main() method executes and produces the following output:
Shape:
area: 78.53981633974483
radius: 5.0
Submit both your Circle.java and your Shape.java files.

Question 2
Rawhide, Inc. builds a tannery in Curley's neighborhood. Before the tannery opens for business, Curley moves to another neighborhood. However, he retains ownership of his property near the tannery. Curley leases out the property near the tannery to Mo. Once the tannery begins operating, it gives off foul odors that Mo can smell from his property. If Curley sues the tannery for nuisance, is he likely win his case? Explain why or why not.
Question 3
Rawhide, Inc. builds a tannery in Curley's neighborhood. The tannery gives off foul odors that Curley can smell from his property. If Curley sues the tannery for nuisance and wins, which of the following is the court most likely award? Explain why you chose your answer.
Question 4
SureShot, Inc., is a manufacturer of special equipment used by hunters. One of their leading products is a machine that simulates the calls of elk. Each piece of equipment can make several high frequency sounds that are not audible to the human ear. In order to ensure the quality of their equipment, SureShot tests each piece of equipment several times. These tests involve testing the range of sounds that each piece of equipment makes. Therefore, dozens of high frequency sound waves are emitted from SureShot's manufacturing plant every day. Not knowing of the high frequency sounds, Kelly’s Kennels Inc., opens a dog breeding school next door to SureShot. The high frequency noises, while not audible to humans are audible and very disturbing, to dogs. The sound waves cause the dog to howl for hours every day and interfere with Kelly’s Kennels business. If Kelly’s Kennels brings an action against SureShot to recover damages for interfering with Kelly’s Kennels business, what is the most likely outcome for SureShot? Explain your answer.
Question 5
Mike is an avid collector of western art. One of his favorite pieces is a sculpture of a cowboy riding an unsaddled horse made out of old soup cans, tin foil and duct tape. Mike places the sculpture in his backyard so that he can look at it whenever he sits on his porch. Unfortunately, Stu, who lives next door to Mike and who hates the sculpture, can also see it from his porch. In fact, Stu hates the sculpture so much that he does not go out onto his porch anymore. If Stu tries to get Mike to remove the sculpture by suing him for nuisance, will Stu win? Defend your answer.

Question 8
John and Kelsey live in a house in Missouri that they purchased for $250,000. The town has never had a garbage dump and the city government has spent millions of dollars over the years sending the town's trash to a dump located in a different part of the state. In order to save money, the town contracts with Mr. Barr, the president of a waste management company, to build and maintain a landfill at the edge of the town. Within six months, the landfill is operational. Eventually, as more and more of the town's trash gets dumped into the landfill, the residents of the town are subjected to the odor that the landfill gives off. The odor is not constant but, on windy days, it is noticeable. As a result, the house that John and Kelsey bought for $250,000 is reduced in value to $240,000. If John sues the town for nuisance, which of the following is most likely to occur? Defend your answer/
