Country Profile
Choose a country that you would like to have more information on that is not your native country. Using data gathered from the course textbooks, the South University Online Library, and websites (World Health Organization, United Nations, etc.), create a demographic profile of your country.
On the basis of your research, create a 2- to 3-page report that includes:
Age, gender, race, socioeconomic class, religions of the country
Progress toward MDGs
Major health concerns of the country
Status of the country in terms of epidemiologic or demographic transition

For this part of the project, you’ll collect data on various measure of confidence from the FRED website.
University of Michigan: Consumer Sentiment (UMCSENT), last year
S&P 500 (SP500), last year
St. Louis Fed Financial Stress Index (STLFSI), last year
1. In your own words, briefly describe what each of the three indices measure. Why are these considered an indicator of the economy’s “health”?
2. How have these indices changed over the past year? Do you think consumers and firms feel optimistic or pessimistic about the economy?

A task force is studying the need for an additional bicycle path on a large university campus. It is assumed that the distribution of bicyclists using a path between classes is normally distributed with a population variance of about 64. A random sample of 7 existing bicycle paths showed that the sample mean number of bicyclists using a path between classes was 33.
A group of interested students took its own sample of 5 different bicycle paths, and computed a confidence interval for the population mean that ranged from (16.0 , 25.173 ). What is the probability content (or the level of confidence) of this interval?

A study of able-bodied female students at the University of Illinois found that their times for the mile run were approximately normal with mean 7.11 minutes and standard deviation 0.74 minutes.
(a) Choose a student at random from this group and call her time for the mile X. What is the probability her mile run time was no more than 6 minutes? Sketch a graph of this situation and shade the appropriate region.
(b) What is the probability that exactly 2 out of 5 randomly selected females in the study will run the mile in less than 6 minutes?

The average college student goes through 500 disposable cups in a yeat. To raise environmental awareness, a student group at a large university volunteered to help count how many cups were used by students on their campus. A random sample of 50 student's results found that they used a mean of 476 cups with a standard deviation of 42 cups. At the 0.01 level of significance, is there sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean differs from 500? USE THE 5 STEP RESPONSE AS OUTLINED IN THE BOOK ON PAGE 413. use the z score method. (example 8-3)

It is 2017. My 2-year old daughter wants to go to Harvard (a private U.S. university) starting in 2033 (in 16 years’ time). The tuition fee is estimated to be $250,000. How much do I need to put aside starting one month from today and at the end of every one month until I have $250,000 saved up to pay her tuition fees in 2033? Assume I can earn 1% interest per month in my investment account. Please round your answer to two decimal places.

Anna is a graduate accounting student. She is the recipient of a $1,000 scholarship from the university. Anna also works as a part-time teaching assistant for which she is paid $3,000 per calendar year and receives a tuition waiver covering 100 percent of her tuition. If not for the waiver, Anna would have paid $8,000 for tuition. Further, she paid $400 for books and supplies related to her coursework and incurred room and board expenses of $6,200. How much gross income Anna must report related to her status as a student?

Lionel is an unmarried law student at State University Law School, a qualified educational institution. This year Lionel borrowed $30,000 from County Bank and paid interest of $1,800. Lionel used the loan proceeds to pay his law school tuition. Calculate the amounts Lionel can deduct for interest on higher-education loans under the following circumstances:
a. Lionel's AGI before deducting interest on higher-education loans is $50,000.
Deductible interest expense:
b. Lionel's AGI before deducting interest on higher-education loans is $90,000.

Activity based costing "blasted" on the cost accounting scene in the late 1980s and early 1990s. It's authors, Dr. Robert Kaplan and Dr. Robin Cooper, from Harvard University, presented it as a more accurate costing method which would improve the accuracy of accounting information, and therefore lead to much improved decisions, leading to more profitable and successful companies. Has ABC lived up to its hype? Has it been a success? A dud? or somewhere in between? Is the novelty wearing off? Find evidence in the literature to support your opinion.
