Mercury is a persistent and dispersive environmental contaminant found in many ecosystems around the world. When released as an industrial by-product, it often finds its way into aquatic systems where it can have deleterious effects on various avian and aquatic species. The accompanying data on blood mercury concentration (µg/g) for adult females near contaminated rivers in a state was read from a graph in an article.

Determine the value of the 10% trimmed mean. (Round your answer to three decimal places.)

In your internet browser, search for the term "Budgetary Slack." Review a few of the results so you understand what it is and when it is used by managers. Then, read the "Ethics Challenge" near the end of the Master Budgeting chapter problems in your textbook.  

Required:

Share your responses to the following questions with your classmates. Based on your reading:

1. Do you think Granger Stokes is using budgets appropriately?
2. What sort of behavioral consequences may occur as a result of the way budgets are used at Prime Drive?
3. What would you do if you were in Keri Kalani's position?  

As a clinic manager, you have been watching carefully as a strong hurricane has formed in the Gulf of Mexico, and is expected to make landfall near Corpus Christi in 2 days. This is a very large and intense storm, and is expected to cause widespread flooding and wind damage, as well as power outages. What types of things are you thinking about concerning strategic planning, and risk and crisis management? Several members of your staff are requesting to leave now to help take care of their family members who live hear Corpus Christi. What type of strategic LEADERSHIP planning and risk management would you think about?

In the Little Albert experiment, Watson taught a young child to associate the sight of a white rat with fear. He did this by giving the child a rat, then making a very loud sound near him, which elicited a fear response. Eventually, the sight of any white, fuzzy object (including a coat, a rabbit, and a Santa mask) elicited an immediate fear response (Cherry & Morin, 2019). Do you think this experiment by Watson was ethical? He created a lifelong fear in the child for the purposes of research. If you were going to repeat his experiment, what would you do differently to make it more ethical by today's standards?

Problem 26.49: Resolution of the eye, I.

Even if the lenses of our eyes functioned perfectly, our vision would still be limited due to diffraction of light at the pupil.

Part A

Using Rayleigh's criterion, what is the smallest object a person can see clearly at his near point of 22.5 cm with a pupil 2.25 mm in diameter and light of wavelength 498 nm ? (To get a reasonable estimate without having to go through complicated calculations, we'll ignore the effect of the fluid in the eye.)

Part B

Based upon your answer, does it seem that diffraction plays a significant role in limiting our visual acuity?

25. A turbojet engine gets most of its thrust from an airflow that bypasses the combustor and turbine sections.   a. True b. False


26. A turboprop engine gets most of its thrust from an airflow that bypasses the combustor and turbine sections. a. True b. False

27. In a gas turbine engine for aircraft applications, a diffuser is needed at the inlet to … a. Reduce the speed of the air entering the compressor section to near zero relative to the compressor air intake. b. Reduce the pressure of the air entering the compressor. c. Increase the temperature of the air entering the compressor.   d. Reduce heat transfer from the air to the surroundings, as this heat will be of value in the engine.

Answer question 2!!

1. a boat is bobbing up and down on the water as waves pass underneath it. The depth of the water under the boat oscillates between 3 m and 4 m. The boat is stationary with respect to the shore and it is 2.9s between the crests of successive waves. A person on shore sees the crests of the wave passing by at 2 m/s. what is the distance between crests of this wave?

2. Two ducks are floating close together on the water near the boat in problem 1. When the first duck is on the peak of a passing wave the second duck is 30 cm below it and moving upwards. How far apart are the ducks?
