Mark worked as route manager for United Trucks Pty Ltd in Queensland from 2003-17. A term of his contract was that if he should leave the company, he could not engage in the trucking industry in Queensland for five years. In 2018 he registered a company called Sunshine Trucks Pty Ltd. Mark owns 99% of the shares in the company. The other 1% is owned by his brother, Greg, whom he elected as sole director and CEO. Sunshine Trucks operates from Townsville and carries goods all over Queensland. Greg also signs a contract on behalf of the company, taking out a loan of $ 2 million from Grasping Bank in 2018 as start-up capital. The company did well during 2018, 2019 and the first half of 2020, but in July 2020 was not able to repay a loan instalment of $ 100 000 owing to Grasping Bank Ltd. Mark comes to you for advice after receiving two letters: One from United Trucks Pty Ltd requiring Sunshine Trucks Ltd to cease operating in Queensland, the other from Grasping Bank Ltd threatening to sue him for $ 100 000. Advise him, citing all relevant legal authority. Please note that you should assume that the restraint of trade clause in the contract that Mark had with United Trucks is valid under the law of contract. You should therefore not discuss that issue.

d. State the null hypothesis
e. State the appropriate alternative hypothesis.
Scenarios1) A researcher is interested in determining if there is a difference in the amount of time college students spend texting during class depending on where they sit in a classroom. He video tapes three different classrooms on campus and records the amount of time students in the front (first two rows), students in the middle (middle two rows) and students in the back (last two rows) of the classroom spend texting during the 45-minute lecture.
Scenario2) Ms. Nosienelly believes that adults will make more voice calls on their cell phone in public than adolescents will. To test her idea she asks a group of 100 fifteen-year-olds and a group of 100 forty-five-year-olds how many times a day they make a voice call on their cell phone while they are in public.
Scenario3) A university professor wanted to know if the way students were tested made a difference in their grades. One class took all their exams on a computer while a second class took all their exams on paper. The exact same exams were used for both groups. The grades on the exams were compared to see which group performed better

Describe the boundary lines for two- variable
inequalities. Why are the boundary lines for two- variable
inequalities with greater than and less represented by dotted
lines? Provide examples.
First, define a boundary line and tell where it comes from. Then,
describe what the boundary line can tell us about solutions to an
inequality. You can also talk about how to know what part of a
graph to shade. Finally , talk about the cases where we use each
type of boundary line. ( solid and dotted/ dashed).
Real - life Relationship: If you have 100 $ available to buy party
favors ( 3$ per bunch of balloons and 4 $ per bag of candy) than
you can solve an inequality to find the possibilities . If x = # of
bunches of balloons and y= number of bags of candy then we want to
solve: 3x+ 4y<=100.
Some possible solutions are: no bunches of balloons and 25 bags of
candy,20 bunches of balloons and 10 bags of candy. There are other
possibilities!
Challenge: Imagine we have two boundary lines: one solid and one
dashed. If they are not parallel is the point where they meet
included in the solution? Why or why not?
If you are not sure, try an example, such as y < x + 1 and y
< = 2x-4. Graph both boundary lines and find the point of
intersection. Then , see if the coordinates satisfy both
inequalities.

In Pennsylvania, 6,165,478 people voted in the election. Trump received 48.18% of the vote and Clinton recieved 47.46%. This doesn't add up to 100% because other candidates received votes. All together these other candidates received 100% - 48.18% - 47.46% = 4.36% of the vote.
Suppose we could select one person at random from the 6+ million voters in PA (note: PA is the common abbreviation for Pennsylvania). We are interested in the chance that we'd choose a Trump, Clinton, or Other voter.
Below is a probability table for the choice:
|
Voted for |
Trump |
Clinton |
Other |
|---|---|---|---|
| Probability | 0.4818 | 0.4746 | 0.0436 |
| Number of people | 2,970,733 | 2,926,441 | 268,304 |
Suppose we take a simple random sample of ?=1500 n = 1500 voters from the 6+ million voters in PA. What is the expected number of Trump voters? What is the expected number of Clinton voters? To answer these questions, let ?1 T 1 be 1 if the first voter chosen for the sample voted for Trump and 0 if they voted for Clinton or another candidate. Let ?2 T 2 be 1 if the second voter chosen for the sample voted for Trump and 0 if they voted for Clinton or another candidate, and so on. Let's start with some very basic questions. Find: ?(?1000=1) P ( T 1000 = 1 ) ?(?1000=0) P ( T 1000 = 0 ) ?(?17) E ( T 17 )

JAVA - Programming Exercise 10-5.
The developers of a free online game named Sugar Smash have asked you to develop a class named SugarSmashPlayer that holds data about a single player. The class contains the following fields: idNumber - the player’s ID number (of type int) name - the player's screen name (of type String) scores - an array of integers that stores the highest score achieved in each of 10 game levels Include get and set methods for each field. The get method for scores should require the game level to retrieve the score for. The set method for scores should require two parameters—one that represents the score achieved and one that represents the game level to be retrieved or assigned. Display an error message if the user attempts to assign or retrieve a score from a level that is out of range for the array of scores. Additionally, no level except the first one should be set unless the user has earned at least 100 points at each previous level. If a user tries to set a score for a level that is not yet available, issue an error message. Create a class named PremiumSugarSmashPlayer that descends from SugarSmashPlayer. This class is instantiated when a user pays $2.99 to have access to 40 additional levels of play. As in the free version of the game, a user cannot set a score for a level unless the user has earned at least 100 points at all previous levels.

Write a C++ program that inputs a sequence of integers into a vector, computes the average, and then outputs the # of input values, the average, and the values themselves. There are 0 or more inputs values, followed by a negative value as the sentinel; the negative value is not stored and not counted. The following sample input:
10 20 0 99 -1
would produce the following output:
N: 4 Avg: 32.25 10 20 0 99

Suppose that David adopted the last-in, first-out (LIFO)
inventory-flow method for his business inventory of widgets
(purchase prices below).
| Purchase | Direct | Other | Total | ||||
| Widget | Date | Cost | Costs | Cost | |||
| #1 | August 15 | $ | 2,100 | $ | 100 | $ | 2,200 |
| #2 | October 30 | 2,200 | 150 | 2,350 | |||
| #3 | November 10 | 2,300 | 100 | 2,400 | |||
In late December, David sold widget #2 and next year David expects
to purchase three more widgets at the following estimated
prices:
| Purchase | Estimated | ||
| Widget | Date | Cost | |
| #4 | Early spring | $ | 2,600 |
| #5 | Summer | 2,260 | |
| #6 | Fall | 2,400 | |
|
a. What cost of goods sold and ending inventory would David record if he elects to use the LIFO method this year? b. If David sells two widgets next year, what will be his cost of goods sold and ending inventory next year under the LIFO method? c-1. What cost of goods sold and ending inventory would David record if he elects to use the FIFO method this year? d. Suppose that David initially adopted the LIFO method, but wants to apply for a change to FIFO next year. What would be his §481 adjustment for this change, and in how many year(s) would he make the adjustment? |

Clopack Company manufactures one product that goes through one processing department called Mixing. All raw materials are introduced at the start of work in the Mixing Department. The company uses the weighted-average method of process costing. Its Work in Process T-account for the Mixing Department for June follows (all forthcoming questions pertain to June):
| Work in Process—Mixing Department | |||
| June 1 balance |
35,000 |
Completed and transferred to Finished Goods |

| Materials | 120,205 | ||
| Direct labor | 80,500 | ||
| Overhead | 98,000 | ||
| June 30 balance | ? | ||
The June 1 work in process inventory consisted of 5,100 units with $18,570 in materials cost and $16,430 in conversion cost. The June 1 work in process inventory was 100% complete with respect to materials and 60% complete with respect to conversion. During June, 37,600 units were started into production. The June 30 work in process inventory consisted of 8,200 units that were 100% complete with respect to materials and 50% complete with respect to conversion.
14. Prepare the journal entry to record the transfer of costs from Work in Process to Finished Goods. (If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No journal entry required" in the first account field.)
