The U.S. government treats the goods produced by a firm in a year that are not sold in that year as increases in inventories and includes them in that year's GDP at market prices. In other words, the government assumes that the firm itself buys those goods for future resale. With this convention in mind, place a "yes" in a box if you think the statement is 100% true, place a "no" otherwise (without quotation marks and with no spaces). Ignore illegal goods and illegal activities altogether.

Any good produced domestically in a year will be included in that year's GDP.

Any good produced domestically in a year will be included in that year's GDP, except those produced by households for their own consumption

. Any good produced domestically and sold in a year will be included in that year's GDP

. Any good produced domestically and sold in a year will be included in that year's GDP, except those produced by firms that are not sold.

Any good sold in a year will be included in that year's GDP.

Any service sold in a year will be included in that year's GDP.

Any good that is not sold in a year will be excluded from that year's GDP.

If the U.S. government legalizes marijuana, the U.S. GDP will increase.

Debra and James Dean are homeowners in Richardson, TX. They have a 30 year old oak tree in their front yard. On April 25, 2017, a violent thunderstorm struck Richardson. Wind gusts were recorded as high as 65 miles per hour. The Dean’s tree was blow over by the storm. Unfortunately, the tree crashed onto their neighbor’s 2017 Lexus RX350. The car was only one month old. The neighbor, Scott Turf, contacted the Dean’s and advised them he felt they were at fault for the tree falling, that the tree was an “accident waiting to happen”. He told the Dean’s he was going to contact a lawyer.

As required by the homeowners (HO) policy, the Dean’s contacted their insurer, Standard Care.

Standard Care begins an investigation of the incident. Included in this investigation is an analysis of the policy’s liability coverage.

Is Scott Turf’s claim covered by the Dean’s HO policy?

1) You drop a pebble into a well. 10 seconds later, you hear the sound of the pebble hitting the water. How deep is the well? For what part of the 10 seconds was the pebble falling? How long did it take the sound to travel back up the well? What assumptions did you make in solving the problem?

2) Suppose another well is just the depth at which the time it takes your pebble to hit the water is the same as the time it takes the sound of hitting the water to return to the top. How deep is the well?

3) Suppose another well is just the depth at which the time it takes your pebble to hit bottom is 15 times greater than the time it takes the sound of it hitting return to the top? How deep is the well?

I need a differential equations approach to the problem please.

After the 2,500-m swim, Charlie [mass mCh = 42 kg] wants to impress Colby [mC = 34 kg] and jumps off the 10-m platform. Charlie jumps upwards and reaches the maximum height of 2.5-m above the platform before turning around and falling towards the water. We only consider the motion along the vertical.

a) Find the velocity [vector] of Charlie as he jumps off the spring board

b) Find the velocity [vector!] of Charlie as he hits the water surface.

c) How long is Charlie airborne?

d) Charlie then plunges into the water and reaches the maximum depth 4.6-m [15 ft] below the surface. What is the (average) magnitude of the deceleration of Charlie while he is submerged in water.

e) What is the (average) force that the water exerts on Charlie as he is submerged in the water?

The polling organization Ipsos conducted telephone surveys in March of 2004, 2005 and 2006. In each year, 1001 people age 18 or older were asked about whether they planned to use a credit card to pay federal income taxes that year. The data are given in the accompanying table. Is there evidence that the proportion falling in the three credit card response categories is not the same for all three years? Test the relevant hypotheses using a .05 significance level. (Use 2 decimal places.)
