1. State and explain the 3 main components of the 5-Star Rating.

State the theory and explain how NMR and IR spectroscopy work.

1.) State the Ricardian equivalence theorem and explain its significance.

After reading David Hume's essay "On Suicide," can you identify his ethical approach when it comes to determining whether suicide is a moral or immoral (not moral) action? Is it objective or subjective? Does he argue from a standpoint that takes the role of the emotions into consideration? What is his position (explain it in full)? What are the three arguments against suicide that Hume addresses (outline all three arguments in detail citing passages as needed)? What do you think of each of the arguments you have outlined above? Do you agree with his conclusion that suicide is morally permissible

A nonprofit organization sent mailing labels along with a request for donations to a random sample of 75,000 potential donors on their mailing list and received 5625 donations from the effort. In the past, the organization has had a contribution rate of 6%, but the director of the program hoped that the addition of the mailing labels would increase that rate. Perform a hypothesis test using α=0.05. Be sure to include the following:

1. State the null and alternative hypotheses in symbols and words. Assume conditions have been met. (2 pts.)
2. Perform your hypothesis test "by hand" using the equation editor. Be sure to use the appropriate probability notation. Don't write your conclusion in this step.(4 pts.)
3. Construct a 90% confidence interval, again showing calculations "by hand". Don't write your conclusion in this step. (4 pts.)
4. State your FULL conclusion making sure to site whether we reject or fail to reject and what that means in context based on the p-value. Then support your conclusion with the results from your confidence interval. Then be sure to note whether the hypothesized value falls in our interval and what that means. (3 pts.)

Q1: The market for gold is represented by Q = 3P – 300 and Q = 8300 – 2P where Q is ounces of gold and P is the price of gold per ounce.

Hint: Figure 5.5 on page 107 of your textbook or Chapter 5 – Graph 8 (Negative Externalities) found in Brightspace is useful for visualizing the market for gold.

a) What are the free market equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity of gold?

b) The production of gold creates negative externalities. Give and explain two (and only two) specific and distinct negative externalities associated with gold production USING YOUR OWN WORDS. DO NOT PLAGIARIZE. Unless you are very familiar with gold production, you will need to do some research to answer this question.

c) Due to the negative externalities associated with gold production, the full social cost supply of gold is represented by

Q = 2P – 500. What are the socially optimal equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity of gold?

d) Why is the free market for gold inefficient? Explain in such a way that a layperson who does not know anything about economics would understand. In other words, DO NOT use terms such as total economic surplus and deadweight loss in your answer because a layperson would not know what they mean.

e) What does the deadweight loss in the free market for gold equal? Show clearly how you arrived at your answer.

f) What is one (and only one) government intervention that would make the free market for gold more efficient AND what impact does this government intervention have on the market?

Phrase a business objective you want to target and the following question. Classify and describe its type, and elaborate on the implications this type of question has had currently and on future phases of the process. Identify and write about data requirements that are derived from this question. For example: what is your unit of analysis and what are the implications of the analysis technique you choose to use. Write about your risk assessments (e.g., applicability, availability of resources, ethics and more) and describe relevant knowledge artifacts in addition to business rules that should be applied to compute significant business variables.

Does Java support referential transparency? What about in static contexts like a? What about in object contexts like b? Explain using the following bits of code to explain your answer for each question.

a)

• static int a,b,c;//declaration
• //some stuff happens
• result1 = (fun(a) + b) / (fun(a) – c);
• temp = fun(a);
• result2 = (temp + b) / (temp – c);
• //function signature
• int static fun(int arg);

b)

• Employee a = new Employee();
• Employee b = new Employee();
• Employee c = new Employee();
• //some stuff happens
• result1 = (a.fun() + b) / (a.fun() – c);
• temp = a.fun();
• result2 = (temp + b) / (temp – c);
• //function signature inside Employee:
• int fun()

A good friend of yours hears you are taking a course in "positive psychology." He/she has never heard of "positive psychology" and asks you to tell him/her what the course is about and when and why psychologists became interested in the field. Contrast the issues of particular interest to positive psychologists with those coming from the medical model approach.

Write at least one paragraph--or more (in your own words)--where you explain what the field of psychology is about, making sure to distinguish this subject area from others in the field of psychology as well as from some information presented in the popular media that mention "happiness"-related topics. In addition, explain why there is a need for a careful study of issues related to the field.
