An educational psychologist has developed a mediation technique to reduce anxiety. The psychologist selected a sample of high anxiety students that are asked to do the mediation at two therapy sessions a week apart. The participants' anxiety is measured the week before the first session and at each subsequent session. Below are the anxiety scores for the participants. What can the psychologist conclude with α= 0.05?

Make an interpretation based on the results.

At least one of the sessions differ on anxiety.None of the sessions differ on anxiety.

Broussard Skateboard's sales are expected to increase by 15% from $7.0 million in 2016 to $8.05 million in 2017. Its assets totaled $4 million at the end of 2016. Broussard is already at full capacity, so its assets must grow at the same rate as projected sales. At the end of 2016, current liabilities were $1.4 million, consisting of $450,000 of accounts payable, $500,000 of notes payable, and $450,000 of accruals. The after-tax profit margin is forecasted to be 5%, and the forecasted payout ratio is 70%.

1. What would be the additional funds needed? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest dollar.

2. Assume that an otherwise identical firm had $5 million in total assets at the end of 2016. The identical firm's capital intensity ratio (A₀*/S₀) is

-Select- 1. higher than    2. lower than 3.equal to

than Broussard's; therefore,

3. the identical firm is

4. it would require

-Select- 1. a smaller    2. a larger 3. the same increase in total assets to support the increase in sales.

The goal of this lab is to standardize data, to compute probabilities using the standard normal distribution, and to find values given probabilities. Use the Lab Data Set provided to answer all questions. (all of the data is at the bottom of the post.

1. Use Microsoft Excel to compute the mean and standard deviation of Net Sales for the Patagonia file.

Mean:

Standard deviation:

2. Sort the list of 100 data values from smallest to largest, using Microsoft Excel. Write down the raw scores (x values) on lines #1, #20, and #100. Compute the corresponding z-scores by using the formula for calculating z scores. Round to two decimal places. Finally, look up the z score on the appropriate table and place the value of the cumulative area to the left of your z score on the table below.

3. Using the mean and standard deviation from #1 above, and using the formula x = m + zs , find the data value x that goes with the following z-scores.         Use   x = m and    s = s .

For the rest of the lab, you will make the assumption that your data is approximately normally distributed. Use Excel to answer the following questions for the Net Sales data. Copy and paste the output below, don’t include as a separate file, make sure your x axis is labelled properly. You will have to “insert” your graphs in the appropriate places below. Please don’t upload more than one file for me to open and grade, your entire lab should be in ONE uploaded file. If you can’t do that, then print out the separate files and then scan it in as one file, but you should be able to figure out how to copy and paste all your answers into one document.

4. Locate your lowest x value (L) and your highest x value (H) on the axis.

Shade the area between x=L and x=H.

Find the value of the shaded area under the curve. In other words, what is P(L< x<H)?

5. Locate your middle x value (M) and your highest x value (H) on the axis.

Shade the area between x=M and x=H.

Find the value of the shaded area under the curve. In other words, what is P(M< x<H)?

6. Locate your highest x value (H) and your highest x value on the axis.

Shade the area to the right of x=H.

Find the value of the shaded area under the curve. In other words, what is P(x>H)?

7. Shade the area where the lowest 10% of the values would be.

What is the Z-score for this area?     _________________

What is the x-value for this area?    __________________

8. Shade the area where the top 5% of your values would be.

Write a program that displays the following menu: Geometry Calculator

1. Calculate the Area of a Circle

2. Calculate the Area of a Rectangle

3. Calculate the Area of a Triangle

4. Quit

Enter your choice (1-4):

If the user enters 1, the program should ask for the radius of the circle and then display its area. Use the following formula: area = πr2

Use 3.14159 for π and the radius of the circle for r. If the user enters 2, the program should ask for the length and width of the rectangle and then display the rectangle’s area. Use the following formula: area = length * width

If the user enters 3 the program should ask for the length of the triangle’s base and its height, and then display its area. Use the following formula: area = base * height * .5

If the user enters 4, the program should end.

Input Validation: Display an error message if the user enters a number outside the range of 1 through 4 when selecting an item from the menu. Do not accept negative values for the circle’s radius, the rectangle’s length or width, or the triangle’s base or height.
