You are conducting a study to see if the proportion of voters who prefer the Democratic candidate is significantly different from 68% at a level of significance of αα = 0.01. According to your sample, 43 out of 56 potential voters prefer the Democratic candidate.
*The data suggest the population proportion is not significantly different from 68% at αα = 0.01, so there is not sufficient evidence to conclude that the proportion of voters who prefer the Democratic candidate is different from 68%.
*The data suggest the populaton proportion is significantly different from 68% at αα = 0.01, so there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the proportion of voters who prefer the Democratic candidate is different from 68%.
*The data suggest the population proportion is not significantly different from 68% at αα = 0.01, so there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the proportion of voters who prefer the Democratic candidate is equal to 68%.

Star Industries Ltd would like to hedge its US$10 million payable to a US chip manufacturer, which is due in 90 days. Star approached various banks and obtained the following foreign exchange rate quotes as well as interest rates.
| BID | ASK | |
| SGD/USD spot rate | 0.7120 | 0.7140 (Note: US$1 per SGD$1 ) |
| SGD/USD forward rate | 0.7150 | 0.7175 |
| US$ 90-day interest rate | 0.75% | 0.80% |
| S$ 90-day interest rate | 0.5% | 0.55% |
(a) If Star were to hedge forward its US$10m payable, analyse and
compute the amount in Singapore dollars that the firm needs
today.
(b) Jack Tan, a recent finance graduate working in Star, suggested
an alternative. Instead of doing a forward transaction, he
suggested that the firm converts Singapore dollars into US dollars
today and deposit the US dollars in a US dollar deposit account.
Analyse and compute the amount of Singapore dollars that the firm
needs today if it follows Jack’s suggestion.
(c) Assess which alternative is better for the firm.
(d) Examine and discuss whether there are any opportunities for
arbitrage profits and their feasibility.

As a package deal, Accorsi sells a premium home theater package that includes a projector and a one year subscription to premium cable channels for $2,100. Accorsi sells individual projectors for $2,000 and sells individual one-year subscriptions to premium cable channels for $500.
On March 1, 2018, Accorsi delivers a premium home theater package to Valley Hills Nursing Home, which includes the projector and the one-year subscription to the premium cable channels at a price of $2,100. On April 15, 2018, Accorsi receives $2,100 from Valley Hills Nursing Home.
Required:
1. Identify the performance obligation(s) in the premium home theater package?
2. How much revenue will be allocated to each performance obligation?
3. What journal entry (if any) will Accorsi record on March 1, 2018 to record the revenue from the sale of the premium home theater package?
4. What journal entry (if any) will Accorsi record on March 31, 2018?
5. What journal entry will Accorsi record when they receive payment from Valley Hills Nursing Home?

(1 point) Fueleconomy.gov, the official US government source for fuel economy information, allows users to share gas mileage information on their vehicles. The histogram below shows the distribution of gas mileage in miles per gallon (MPG) from 14 users who drive a 2012 Toyota Prius. The sample mean is 53.3 MPG and the standard deviation is 5.2 MPG. Note that these data are user estimates and since the source data cannot be verified, the accuracy of these estimates are not guaranteed. Report all answers to 4 decimal places.
1. We would like to use these data to evaluate the average gas mileage of all 2012 Prius drivers. Do you think this is reasonable? Why or why not?
? Yes No , because ? the data distribution seems approximately normal there are 14 data points in the sample user estimates are reliable user estimates are not reliable .
The EPA claims that a 2012 Prius gets 50 MPG (city and highway mileage combined). Do these data provide strong evidence against this estimate for drivers who participate on fueleconomy.gov? Conduct a hypothesis test. Round numeric answers to 3 decimal places where necessary.
2. What are the correct hypotheses for
conducting a hypothesis test to determine if these data provide
strong evidence against this estimate for drivers who participate
on fueleconomy.gov? (Reminder: check conditions)
A. ?0:?=50H0:μ=50 vs. ??:?≠50HA:μ≠50

D. ?0:?=50.3H0:μ=50.3 vs. ??:?<50HA:μ<50
3. Calculate the test statistic.
4. Calculate the p-value.
5. How much evidence do we have that the null
model is not compatible with our observed results?
A. some evidence
B. little evidence
C. extremely strong evidence
D. strong evidence
E. very strong evidence
6. Calculate a 95% confidence interval for the average gas mileage of a 2012 Prius by drivers who participate on fueleconomy.gov.

Imagine that you are a physician and you have just received the results back for a patient of yours who has just tested positive for the “heartbreak of psoriasis”. The test used will correctly label a person who is suffering from the “heartbreak of psoriasis” as a sufferer 90% of the time and will correctly label a person who is not suffering from the “heartbreak of psoriasis” as not being a sufferer 60% of the time. If the base-rate of suffering from the “heartbreak of psoriasis” is 5%, explain to your patient how likely she is actually suffering from the “heartbreak of psoriasis” on the basis of this positive result.
I got 7.32% using Bayes Theorem. Is this right?

The United States of America has long been viewed as a land of opportunity where everyone is positioned to succeed. Stratification scholars have long argued that opportunity is limited based on the social class one was born into. An individual born into a higher social class background is likely to have more opportunities that one born into a lower social class background. This is believed to be true in post-zombie US as well. To explore this, please see the data from the New Reformed U.S. Census Bureau below comparing the percentage of state residents with a Bachelor’s degree with state median household income collected in 2013. This data represents the 10 most populated states in the Reformed U.S.

In the current tax year, IRS, the internal revenue service of the United States, estimates that five persons of the many high network individual tax returns would be fraudulent. That is, they will contain errors that are purposely made to cheat the government. Although these errors are often well concealed, let us suppose that a thorough IRS audit will uncover them.
Given this information, if a random sample of 100 such tax returns are audited, what is the probability that exactly five fraudulent returns will be uncovered? Here, the number of trials is n=100. And p=0.05 is the probability of a tax return will be fraudulent. Answer the following questions.
