The administration of a local college states that the average age of its students is 28 years. Records of a random sample of 100 students give a mean age of 31 years. Using a population standard deviation of 10 years, test at the 5% significance level whether there is evidence that the administration’s statement is incorrect.
State clearly your null and alternative hypotheses.

The theory of multiple intelligences was developed in 1983 by Dr. Howard Gardner. It states that the traditional notion of intelligence, based on I.Q. testing, is far too limited. Instead, Dr. Gardner proposes 8 different intelligence to account for a broader range of human potential in children and adults. This intelligence is:
Linguistic intelligence (“word smart”)
Logical-mathematical intelligence (“number/reasoning smart”)
Spatial intelligence (“picture smart”)
Bodily-Kinesthetic intelligence (“body smart”)
Musical intelligence (“music smart”)
Interpersonal intelligence (“people smart”)
Intrapersonal intelligence (“self smart”)
Naturalist intelligence (“nature smart”)
Please address the following questions in your post:
How do you view intelligence? What do you think has influenced
your way of understanding an individual’s capabilities?
Which of the above intelligence do you resonate with most and why?
Provide instances and examples from your life.
List at least 2 other people that encompass a different type of
intelligence than yourself and give examples of how they
demonstrate this type of intelligence in their everyday life (work,
relationships, school, etc.)

A ski gondola carries passengers to the top of a mountain. A plaque states that its maximum capacity is 12 people or 2019 lbs. Men’s weights are normally distributed with a mean of 179 lbs and a standard deviation of 30 lbs.
a)
What is the probability that 12 randomly-selected men will exceed the weight limit of the gondola?
b)
Suppose you are the engineer in charge of safety at the mountain. What is the maximum number of men you would allow to ride the gondola at a time in order to be confident they would not exceed the weight limit? Explain.
c)
Suppose the gondola carries the maximum number of men (as given in part b) on every trip. The gondola operates for eight hours a day, and each trip takes 15 minutes to complete. What is the expected amount of time before you lose your licence? Does this answer lead you to rethink your answer to part b)? If so, what would you do differently in part b) (you don’t have to redo part b)?

Milton Friedman: States that there is only one social responsibility that organizations have and that is to use its resources and engage in activities designed to increase profits. therefore, there is no need for corporate social responsibility as the organizations main goal is profit-making.
with the above, organizations have four responsiblilities.
1. Discuss at least four responsibilities.
2. Discuss at least four major factors that influence consumer buying behaviour.

The law of the conservation of energy states that energy can neither be created or destroyed within a closed system, but we also know that any transfer of energy is not 100% efficient and some energy “escapes”. Write briefly about the transfer of energy within our cells …. how do we obtain, store, and use energy? Be sure to give specific examples of the way we convert chemical energy to mechanical and transport/potential energy within the cell. Also address how the “loss” of energy is observable within the cell.
