Hypnosis and the Stroop effect: In Chapter 1, you were given an opportunity to complete the Stroop test, in which color words are printed in the wrong color; for example, the word redmight be printed in the color blue. The conflict that arises when we try to name the color of ink the words are printed in but are distracted when the color word does not match the ink color increases reaction time and decreases accuracy. Several researchers have suggested that the Stroop effect can be decreased by hypnosis. Raz, Fan, and Posner (2005) used brain-imaging techniques to demonstrate that posthypnotic suggestion led highly hypnotizable people to see Stroop words as nonsense words. Imagine that you are working with Raz and colleagues and your assignment is to determine whether reaction times decrease (remember, a decrease is a good thing; it indicates that participants are faster) when highly hypnotizable people receive a posthypnotic suggestion to view the words as nonsensical. You conduct the experiment on six participants, once in each condition, and receive the following data; the first number is reaction time in seconds without the posthypnotic suggestion, and the second number is reaction time with the posthypnotic suggestion: Participant 1: 12.6, 8.5 Participant 2: 13.8, 9.6 Participant 3: 11.6, 10.0 Participant 4: 12.2, 9.2 Participant 5: 12.1, 8.9 Participant 6: 13.0, 10.8 A. What is the independent variable and what are its levels? What is the dependent variable? B. Conduct all six steps of a paired-samples t test as a two-tailed test. Be sure to label all six steps. C. Report the statistics as you would in a journal article. • Need to show all my work .

 In this exercise, you will create two external style sheet files and a web page. You will experiment with linking the web page to the external style sheets and note how the display of the page is changed.

Create an external style sheet (call it format1.css) to format as follows: document background color of white, document text color of #000099, and document font family of Arial, Helvetica, or sans-serif. Hyperlinks should have a background color of gray (#CCCCCC). Configure the h1 selector to use the Times New Roman font with red text color.

Create an external style sheet (call it format2.css) to format as follows: document background color of yellow and document text color of green. Hyperlinks should have a background color of white. Configure the h1 selector to use the Times New Roman font with white background color and green text color.

Create a web page about your favorite movie that displays the movie name in an <h1> tag, a description of the movie in a paragraph, and an unordered (bulleted) list of the main actors and actresses in the movie. The page should also have a hyperlink to a website about the movie. Place an e-mail link to yourself on the web page, email link. This page should be associated with the format1.css file. Save the page as moviecss1.html. Be sure to test your page in more than one browser. Modify the moviecss1.html page to link to the format2.css external style sheet instead of the format1.css file. Save the page as moviecss2.html and test it in a browser. Notice how different the page looks!

The data is a random sample from the US Department of Labor’s 2016 Consumer Expenditure Surveys (CE) and provides information about the composition of households and their annual expenditures (https://www.bls.gov/cex/). It contains information from 30 households, where a survey responder provided the requested information; it is all self-reported information. This dataset contains four socioeconomic variables (whose names start with SE) and four expenditure variables (whose names start with USD).

Without a Critical Thinking Assignment this week, this is your opportunity (and a requirement!) to work on your Portfolio Project. Obtain the supporting information from the option you have chosen to complete for your Portfolio Project. You will also use the Schedule E template included under that same option.

Show all calculations within the cells of the template. This means that you must use formulas and links so that your thought process can be examined. Make good use of comments to convey your thought process as well. No hard coding of solutions is allowed. In addition, complete the depreciation schedule showing the list of assets for the rental properties as well as the depreciation rates and amounts. Submit a single MS Excel file for grading.

Solutions Plus is an industrial chemicals company that produces specialized cleaning fluids and solvents for a wide variety of applications. Solutions Plus just received an invitation to submit a bid to supply Great North American railroad with a cleaning fluid for locomo- tives. Great North American needs the cleaning fluid at 11 locations (railway stations); it provided the following information to Solutions Plus regarding the number of gallons of cleaning fluid required at each location (see Table 6.8). Solutions Plus can produce the cleaning fluid at its Cincinnati plant for $1.20 per gal- lon. Even though the Cincinnati location is its only plant, Solutions Plus has negotiated

TABLe 6.8 GALLONS OF CLEANING FLUID REQUIRED AT EACH LOCATION

with an industrial chemicals company located in Oakland, California, to produce and ship up to 500,000 gallons of the locomotive cleaning fluid to selected Solutions Plus customer locations. The Oakland company will charge Solutions Plus $1.65 per gallon to produce the cleaning fluid, but Solutions Plus thinks that the lower shipping costs from Oakland to some customer locations may offset the added cost to produce the product. The president of Solutions Plus, Charlie Weaver, contacted several trucking companies to negotiate shipping rates between the two production facilities (Cincinnati and Oakland) and the locations where the railroad locomotives are cleaned. Table 6.9 shows the quotes received in terms of dollars per gallon. The “—” entries in Table 6.9 identify shipping routes that will not be considered because of the large distances involved. These quotes for shipping rates are guaranteed for one year. To submit a bid to the railroad company, Solutions Plus must determine the price per gallon it will charge. Solutions Plus usually sells its cleaning fluids for 15% more than its cost to produce and deliver the product. For this big contract, however, Fred Roedel, the director of marketing, suggested that maybe the company should consider a smaller profit margin. In addition, to ensure that if Solutions Plus wins the bid, it will have adequate capacity to satisfy existing orders as well as accept orders for other new business, the management team decided to limit the number of gallons of the locomotive cleaning fluid produced in the Cincinnati plant to 500,000 gallons at most.

3. If Solutions Plus wants to use its standard 15% markup, how much should it bid?
