White Oaks Properties builds strip shopping centers and small malls. The company plans to replace its refrigeration, cooking and HVAC equipment with newer models in one entire center built 11 years ago. 11 years ago, the original purchase price of the equipment was $675,000 and the operating cost has averaged $235,000 per year. Determine the equivalent annual cost of the equipment if the company can now sell it for $234,000. The company's MARR is 22% per year.
The equivalent annual cost of the equipment is determined to be $_________?

Covert a Hexadecimal to decimal (there is a video for you to watch too). Then write a program that can convert a binary to decimal (only for integer case).
There are two ways to do so.
Easy way: Directly use Java built-in method to do this. In this case, only couple lines of code. Hint: Study Integer class in Java.
Hard way: Write your own code to convert a binary to decimal from scratch. The input is a binary string. The program output is its corresponding decimal value. This way you need to design the algorithm.

Use the normal equations to directly apply the least squares method (that is, do not use a transformation or Excel’s built in trendline function) to the given data for the indicated model. Compute D and dmax as bounds for cmax; what do these bounds suggest about improving the fit by using the Chebyshev criterion?
x 1 2 3 4 5
y 1 1 2 2 4
a. y = ax + b
b. y = ax2
Analyze the deviations for each model. Which model is a better fit? Support your conclusions

What do Communication Scholars mean when they use the term Self Concept? How does this idea of Self relate to Chapter 8 and Culture? Please describe in detail what Culture means? and How Culture is defined? and How Culture is built? What show did we watch in class to understand this phenomena? How does the show help us to understand the idea of the Self? What conclusions do you draw about your own Culture with a better understanding of Self Concept and Culture?

Select True or False
True False 1. Conclusions and estimates about a population based on sample data are not always going to be correct. For this reason measures of reliability, such a significance level and confidence level, should be built into the statistical inference.
True False 2. The confidence level is the proportion of times that an estimating procedure will be wrong.
True False 3. Statistical inference is the process of making an estimate, prediction, or decision about a population based on sample data.
True False 4. A summary measure that is computed from a population is called a parameter.

2)What are the main things that shift the consumption schedule? Note that changes in income don’t shift it because that is built into the slope. List the things and think about the intuition of how they would affect your own consumption.
3)Consider Investment Demand. What is on the vertical axis? Note: I recommend thinking of the interest rate firms pay to borrow rather than the expected return (the book uses both terms on the vertical axis). Explain why firms do more investment expenditure when the interest rate drops.

In the reading “A Joint Urban Planning and Public Health Framework: Contributions to a Health Impact Assessment” by Northridge et al., authors ask the question: What are the consequences of inadequate housing? Drawing on the other readings (re: social and built environments) explore this idea and try to answer this question.
