Subjects with pre-existing cardiovascular symptoms who were receiving subitramine, an appetite suppressant, were found to be at increased risk of cardiovascular events while taking the drug. The study included 9803 overweight or obese subjects with pre-existing cardiovascular disease and/or type 2 diabetes. The subjects were randomly assigned to subitramine (4908 subjects) or a placebo (4895 subjects) in a double-blind fashion. The primary outcome measured was the occurrence of any of the following events: nonfatal myocardial infarction or stroke, resuscitation after cardiac arrest, or cardiovascular death. The primary outcome was observed in 561 subjects in the subitramine group and 492 subjects in the placebo group.

Do the data give good reason to think that there is a difference between the proportions of treatment and placebo subjects who experienced the primary outcome? (Note that sibutramine has not been available in the United States since the end of 2010 due to its manufacturer's concerns over increased risk of heart attack or stroke, although at the present time it can still be purchased in other countries.)

State hypotheses, find the test statistic, and the P-value. (Round your test statistic to two decimal places and your P-value to four decimal places.)

H0: Ptreatment (? = ≠ < >) Pplacebo (CHOOSE ONE OF THE SYMBOLS IN THE PARENTHESES)

Ha: Ptreatment (? = ≠ < >) Pplacebo  (CHOOSE ONE OF THE SYMBOLS IN THE PARENTHESES)

P-value = _____z = ______

State your conclusion. (Use α = 0.05.)

A.) Because the P-value is large, we have evidence that there is a difference in the proportion of "primary outcomes" between subitramine and placebo.

B.) Because the P-value is small, we have evidence that there is a difference in the proportion of "primary outcomes" between subitramine and placebo.

C.) Because the P-value is small, we do not have evidence that there is a difference in the proportion of "primary outcomes" between subitramine and placebo.

D.) Because the P-value is large, we do not have evidence that there is a difference in the proportion of "primary outcomes" between subitramine and placebo.

6 Problem 2 (20 pts) The SPAD XIII was a fighter plane used by various countries, including the United States, during World War I. It had a 97 kg wooden propeller that was 2.5 m long and 15 cm wide and 9 cm thick. A Vickers 7.7 mm machine gun mounted on the front, which used a timing belt to fire between the propeller blades at a rate of 500 rounds/minute. The gun is mounted halfway between the engine shaft at the center and the outside edge of the propeller, measured when the propeller blade is oriented vertically. The engine delivered 220 HP (164 kW) at 2300 RPM to the propeller. The rounds the Vickers machine gun fired are 7.7 mm diameter, have a bullet length of 22 mm, a case length of 56 mm for an overall length of 76 mm. Assume while spinning the propeller resembles a thi n rod.

a) Determine the torque applied to the propeller for the constant angular velocity specified. (4 pts)

b) Determine the time it takes for the propeller blade to completely clear the muzzle opening at front of the gun barrel. This time is needed in order to properly set up the timing chain, which allows the gun to fire and not hit the propeller. Assume the angular velocity is constant. (4 pts)

c) In a real dogfight the airplane may be accelerating or decelerating. How would the time it takes the propeller blade to clear the muzzle opening change, as compared to a constant angular velocity, if the propeller was increasing its angular velocity by 100 rad/s 2 ? (5 pts)

d) Assuming the rate of fire doesn't change with the timing, how many bullets can be fired during one full rotation of the propeller for a constant angular velocity? What angular displacement of the blade is required for each bullet? Will the bullet have enough time to pass between the blades? The bullets are fired at a constant velocity of 744 m/s and y ou can ignore the distance from the gun to the propeller.

An intensifying oil price war between Saudi Arabia and Russia has created “very painful” market conditions for the world’s largest crude oil producers. International benchmark Brent crude traded at $32.97 Thursday, down almost 8%, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) stood at $30.40, around 7.8% lower. Oil prices have almost halved since the start of the year.
Last week, Saudi Arabia failed to secure Moscow’s support for deeper output cuts at a meeting of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and its allies, known as OPEC plus. OPEC had proposed to deepen cuts by 1.5 million barrels per day and Russia was asked to cut an extra 300,000 bpd.
“There was no point in cutting until after everyone understood how sharply demand could fall. We cannot fight a falling demand situation when there is no clarity about where the bottom (of demand) is,” Pavel Sorokin, the Russia’s deputy energy minister, said.
“It is very easy to get caught in a circle when, by cutting once, you get into an even worse situation: oil prices would shortly bounce back before falling again as demand continued to fall.”
Cooperation between two (Saudi Arabia and Russia) of the world’s three largest oil producers — the third is the United States — appears to be at an end.

O.P., an unmarried 15-year-old high school student, finds herself pregnant by her 17-year-old boyfriend of several months. She estimates she is 10 weeks pregnant and visits a doctor to ask for an abortion.

O.P.’s parents have made it very clear that they would no longer allow her to live at home and would withdraw all financial support were she to become pregnant before marriage. O.P. has always aspired to attend college and graduate school. Her family knows about her relationship with the young man but they are unaware of its sexual nature. In her country, the law requires parental consent in all health care services for minors under the age of 16 years. It also provides for abortion for any woman upon request, up to 12 weeks of pregnancy. However, the doctor refuses to perform an abortion for O.P. unless one of her parents provides consent for the procedure.

The question is:

Companies assign costs to products and services to: ( Select all that apply)

A. Determine the best supplier of raw materials.

B. Understand product profitability

C. Establish selling prices.

D. value ending inventory

I believe it is B, C & D. I am just not sure if it is A as well?? I will paste some explanation given.

Companies usually assign costs to their products and services for two main reasons. First, it helps them fulfill their planning, controlling, and decision-making responsibilities. For example, a company may use product cost information to better understand each product’s profitability or to establish each product’s selling price. Second, it helps them determine the value of ending inventories and cost of goods sold for external reporting purposes. The costs attached to products that have not been sold are included in ending inventories on the balance sheet, whereas the costs attached to units that have been sold are included in cost of goods sold on the income statement.

It is very common for external financial reporting requirements to heavily influence how companies assign costs to their products and services.Because most countries (including the United States) require some form of absorption costing for external financial reports, many companies use some form of absorption costing for product costing purposes. In absorption costing, all manufacturing costs, both fixed and variable, are assigned to units of product—units are said to fully absorb manufacturing costs. Conversely, all nonmanufacturing costs are treated as period costs and they are not assigned to units of product.

This chapter and the next explain a common type of absorption costing system known as job-order costing. In this chapter we’ll discuss the role of job-order costing systems in planning, control, and decision making. Our focus will be on assigning manufacturing costs to individual jobs. In the next chapter, we will explain how job-order costing systems can be used to determine the value of ending inventories and cost of goods sold for external reporting purposes.Thank you!

I am writing a research proposal on the below topic.

Research question:

How do Muslim women's internalized views of religion, science, modesty, and reproductive healthcare inform the access of their American born female children to mammograms for breast cancer?

Hypothesis:

Muslim born women who moved to the United states strongly hold on to their values of their religion, their views on science and modesty, and their apprehension to reproductive healthcare which impacts their female American born children's access to quality mammogram screenings.

I am having muslim mothers and their daughter pretake in a questionaire for my research proposal but I am not sure what questions to ask. could you help me? I want to ask questions to get a sense of what the muslim mothers taughter their daughters about mammograms and what their views on it. I also want to ask questions to the daughter asking about the teachings of their mothers on the screening. Could you help me please? This is what I have so far:

Daughter’s Questionnaire;

What is your name?

How old are you?

Will your mother be participating in this interview?

How well do you know about breast cancer and the mammogram screening?

Have you ever gone for a mammogram screening?

Did your mother inform you about the screening?

What do you think about this procedure?

Why do you think that many Muslim females do not take advantage of the mammogram screening.

Why do you believe that many Muslim females are hesitant to do this procedure?

Mother’s Questionnaire;

What is your name?

How old are you?

Will your daughter be participating in this interview?

How well do you know about breast cancer and the mammogram screening?

Have you ever gone for a mammogram screening?

Did your mother inform you about the screening?

Have you informed your daughter about the screening?

Why do you believe that many Muslim females are hesitant to do this procedure?

In 2000, Enron enjoyed remarkable success in the capital markets. During that year, Enron’s shares increased in value by 89%, while the S&P 500 index fell by 9%. At the end of 2000, Enron’s shares were trading at roughly $83 per share, and all of the sell-side analysts following Enron recommended the shares as a ‘‘buy’’ or a ‘‘strong buy.’’ With 752.2 million shares outstanding, Enron had a market capitalization of $62,530 million and was one of the largest firms Enron had a market capitalization of $62,530 million and was one of the largest firms (in terms of market capital) in the United States. At year-end 2000, Enron’s book value of common shareholders’ equity was $11,470 million. At year-end 2000, Enron posted earnings per share of $1.19. Among sell-side analysts following Enron, the consensus forecast for earnings per share was $1.31 per share for 2001 and $1.44 per share for 2002, with 10% earnings growth expected from 2003 to 2005. At the time, Enron was paying dividends equivalent to roughly 40% of earnings and was expected to maintain that payout policy. At year-end 2000, Enron had a market beta of 1.7. The risk-free rate of return was 4.3%, and the market risk premium was 5.0%. (Note: The data provided in this problem, and the inferences you draw from them, do not depend on foresight of Enron’s declaring bankruptcy by the end of 2001.)

Reverse engineer Enron’s $83 share price to solve for the implied expected return on
Enron shares at year-end 2000. Do the reverse engineering under the following
assumptions:
(1) Enron’s market price equals value.
(2) The consensus analysts’ earnings-per-share forecasts through 2005 are reliable proxies
for market expectations.
(3) Enron will maintain a 40% dividend payout rate.
(4) Beyond 2005, Enron’s long-run earnings growth rate will be 3.0%.

Please include details on how the reverse engineering numbers are calculated.
