In a study of high-achieving high school graduates, the authors of a report surveyed 834 high school graduates who were considered "academic superstars" and 436 graduates who were considered "solid performers." One question on the survey asked the distance from their home to the college they attended.

Assuming it is reasonable to regard these two samples as random samples of academic superstars and solid performers nationwide, use the accompanying data to determine if it is reasonable to conclude that the distribution of responses over the distance from home categories is not the same for academic superstars and solid performers. Use

α = 0.05.

State the null and alternative hypotheses.

H₀: Student group and distance of college from home are independent.
H_a: Student group and distance of college from home are not independent. H₀: Student group and distance of college from home are not independent.
H_a: Student group and distance of college from home are independent.     H₀: The proportions falling into the distance categories are not all the same for the two student groups.
H_a: The proportions falling into the distance categories are the same for the two student groups. H₀: The proportions falling into the distance categories are the same for the two student groups.
H_a: The proportions falling into the distance categories are not all the same for the two student groups.

Calculate the test statistic. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
χ² =

What is the P-value for the test? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
P-value =

What can you conclude?

Do not reject H₀. There is not enough evidence to conclude that the proportions falling into the distance categories are not all the same for the two student groups. Reject H₀. There is convincing evidence to conclude that the proportions falling into the distance categories are not all the same for the two student groups.     Reject H₀. There is convincing evidence to conclude that there is an association between student group and distance of college from home. Do not reject H₀. There is not enough evidence to conclude that there is an association between student group and distance of college from home.

Clearview Systems Ltd.

Jasmine Kaur, the newly appointed vice-president of finance for Clearview Systems Ltd. (“CVL”), was eager to talk to her investment banker about future financing for the firm. One of her first assignments was to determine the firm’s weighted average cost of capital (WACC).

Capital Structure

In their discussion, Jasmine and her investment banker felt that the current mix in the capital structure was providing CVL with the lowest possible WACC and CVL should continue with it in the future. To help her understand the current mix in the capital structure, the controller for CVL provided Jasmine with the following information for the latest year-end (Dec-31-19):

• The company issued 14,600 bonds, each with a par value of $1,000. They are currently selling for $1,041.00 each.
• 254,000 common shares have been authorized (with 206,000 shares issued and outstanding). Common shares are selling for $49.000 per share.
• 189,000 preferred shares have been authorized (with 144,000 issued and outstanding). The closing price of preferred shares was $54.500 per share.

Jasmine was able to use this information to calculate the market values and the weights associated with each of the components of the capital structure:

Cost of WACC Components

Of some concern was the appropriate cost to assign to each of the elements in the capital structure. Jasmine requested that the controller provide data on what the costs were likely to be to issue debt, preferred stock and common stock. The controller provided the following information:

Jasmine was already aware that the company’s current tax rate is 45.00 percent and preliminary year-end results show net earnings (after interest, taxes and preferred share dividends) for the year ending Dec-31-19 is $6.0 million.

CVL uses RBC as its lead underwriter. RBC charges CVL 4.00 percent commission on new common stock issues, 6.00 percent on new preferred stock issues, and 6.00 percent on new debt issues. RBC has included all direct and indirect flotation costs in these rates.

Weighted Average Cost of Capital

Jasmine was interested to know the level of investment she could make in new capital assets without needing to find new common shareholders.

1. Start NetBeans.
2. Create a new project called Lab7.
3. Create a Java main class file using the class name YourlastnameLab7 with your actual last name.
4. Create a Java class file for a Polygon class.
5. Implement the Polygon class.
6. 1. Add a private instance variable representing the number of sides in the polygon.
7. 2. Add a constructor that takes a single argument and uses it to initialize the number of sides. If the value of the argument is less than three, display an error message and exit the program.
8. 3. Add an accessor method for the number of sides.
9. 4. Override the toString method of the Object class to return a String containing the number of sides.

6. Add code to the main method of your main class to do the following:

1. 1. Create a Polygon object.
2. 2. Pass the object to System.out.println() to display it.

Run the program to make sure it works. The output should look something like this:

Testing Polygon constructor

Number of sides: 5

7. Create a Java class file for a RegularPolygon class.

8. Implement the RegularPolygon class.

1. 1. Modify the class header to make RegularPolygon a subclass of Polygon.
2. 2. Add a private instance variable to represent the length of a side (a double).
3. 3. Add a constructor that takes an int and a double and uses them to initialize the private instance variables. If the length of the side is less than or equal to zero, display an error message, and exit the program.
4. 4. Add an accessor method and a mutator method for the length of a side.
5. 5. Move the code from the constructor that does the input validation and initialization of the length of a side to the mutator method. Replace the constructor code you just moved with a call to the mutator.
6. 6. Add a method called getPerimeter that calculates the perimeter of the polygon. Remember that all of the sides of a regular polygon have the same length.
7. 7. Override the toString method from the Polygon class to include the side length and perimeter along with the number of sides. Use the toString method from the base class to construct the first part of the string.

9. Add code to the main method of your main class to do the following:

1. 1. Create a RegularPolygon object and display it.
2. 2. Call the side length mutator, and display the object again.

Run the program to make sure it works. The output should look something like this:

Testing Polygon constructor

Number of sides: 4

Testing RegularPolygon constructor

Number of sides: 5

Side length: 1.0

Perimeter: 5.0

Testing side length mutator

Number of sides: 5

Side length: 2.0

Perimeter: 10.0

10. Create a Java class file for a RegularTriangle class.

11. Implement the RegularTriangle class.

1. Modify the class header to make RegularTriangle a subclass of

RegularPolygon.

1. 2. Add a private instance variable for the height of the triangle (a double).
2. 3. Add a constructor that takes a double representing the length of a side and uses the RegularPolygon constructor to initialize the number of sides and the side length. You do not need to initialize the height (you will see why in the next step.)
3. 4. Override the side length mutator so it calls the RegularPolygon mutator to initialize the side length, then sets the height to √3 × /2. This will take care of initializing the height since the constructor calls the RegularPolygon constructor, which calls this version of the side length mutator.
4. 5. Write an accessor method and a mutator method for the height. The mutator should display an error message and exit the program if the value provided is less than or equal to zero. It should also set the side length to 2 × ℎ      ℎ /√3.
5. 6. Write a method called getArea that calculates the area of the triangle using the formula = 1/2 × × ℎ      ℎ and returns it.
6. 7. Override the toString method to add information about the height and area.

12. Add code to the main method of your main class to do the following:

1. 1. Create a RegularTriangle object and display it.
2. 2. Call the height mutator, and display the object.
3. 3. Call the side length mutator, and display the object.

Run the program to make sure it works. The output should look something like this:

Testing Polygon constructor

A travel agent (TA) in Athens named “Thomas o Mageiras” has contracts with 135
hotels from all categories (stars) in the three major Greek summer destinations,
namely Crete, Ionian Islands and South Aegean Islands. In order to better support its
clients the TA yearly collects and updates data regarding the performance of these
hotels.
The dataset in the table that follows, provides various measures of
all 135 hotels, summarized in the following variables:
Variables Description
STARS Hotel class category
Total_Rooms Total number of rooms per hotel

Region_ID

1= Crete
2=Southern Aegean Islands
3=Ionian Islands

ARR_MAY Average Room Rate in May (in €)
ARR_AUG Average Room Rate in August (in €)
L_COST Labor cost per hotel (in €)
Note: The empty cells in the given Excel spreadsheet indicate missing values.

Question 1:
1.1 Construct the frequency distribution, the percentage distribution and the frequency
histogram of the variables ARR_MAY and ARR_AUG for ALL 135 hotels. Use
the same class width = 25 for both frequency distributions. Comment on the
characteristics of the distributions.
1.2 Construct separately, the frequency distributions and the percentage distributions
of the variable ARR_AUG for each of the three destinations. Use the same class
width = 35 for each of the three frequency distributions.
1.3 Construct separately, the frequency distributions and the percentage distributions
of the variable ARR_MAY for hotels with a) Number of rooms ≤ 50 considered
as small size hotels b) Number of rooms > 50 considered as large size hotels. Use
the same class width = 25 for both frequency distributions.

1.4 Plot three histograms of the frequency distributions of the variable ARR_AUG,
one for each of the three destinations, and comment on the main characteristics of
the three distributions.
1.5 Plot two histograms of frequency distributions of the variable ARR_MAY, one
for the small and one for the large size hotels, and comment on the main
characteristics of the two distributions.
1.6 What conclusions can you reach concerning the differences in distribution a) of
ARR_AUG among the three destinations and b) of ARR_MAY between the
small and the large size hotels?

2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, China, in a world record of 9.58 seconds. That works out to be about 23.4 miles per hour over the course of the race. For a brief period during that sprint, Bolt reached an astounding 40 feet per second (27.51 mph). As a physical activity, running is very different from walking. In running, a person's legs flex and the muscles stretch and then contract during acceleration. As the runner's muscles release and absorb energy, the overall energy in the person's body changes and leads to increased speed. What Makes An Elite Runner? Scholars believe that the fastest runners — the elite sprinters like Bolt - are those who use a low amount of energy for every foot that they run, compared to other people. The ability to do that is influenced by a number of different factors, including their age, sex and distribution of muscles. The fastest of the elite runners are young men. The way in which a person's body moves in time and space is called biomechanics. The possible speed of a runner is influenced by their biomechanics, especially how their legs move as they run. Many different factors could influence a person's running speed, including how much time the foot spends touching the ground, how far the legs swing and the angle and distance of the stride. In particular, sprint runners maximize their acceleration and top speed by applying more force relative to their body weight. Their ankles move faster and they take more steps per minute. Long-Distance Runners: When considering speed, sports researchers also look at long-distance runners, who race distances between 3 and 26 miles. The fastest of these runners use considerable plantar pressure, which is the amount of pressure the foot puts on the ground. Changes in biomechanical factors, or how the legs move over time and space, also seem to have a significant effect. As with sprinters, the fastest group in marathon running is men aged between 25 and 29. Those men have an average speed between 558 and 577 feet per minute. This information was gathered from the marathons that were run in Chicago and New York between 2012 and 2016. The New York City marathon runs in waves. There are four groups of runners who begin the race roughly 30 minutes apart. As a result, statistics are available for runner speeds at 3-mile segments throughout the race. Researcher Zhenquan Lin and his team used that data to show that one factor of speed is competition. Runners increase speed and change positions more frequently at the end of the race. The Upper Limits In comparison to other animals, humans are very slow. The fastest animal on record is the cheetah, which can run up to 70 mph. Even Usain Bolt can only attain a fraction of that. Recent research on the most elite runners has led sports medicine expert Peter Weyand and his team to suggest that the upper limit might reach 35-40 mph. So far though, no one has been willing to confirm that in an official publication. In other words, scientists still need to find more Proof. Statistics: According to Rankings.com, the fastest three male sprinters in the world today are Usain Bolt, Tyson and Asafa Powell. Bolt and Powell are Jamaican, and tyson is American. Bolt set the 100-meter record at the 2008 Summer Olympic Games in Beijing, China, completing the race in 9.58 seconds. His speed was 34.25 feet per second. tyson's fastest time is 9.69 seconds. Powell's is 9.72 seconds. The fastest three female sprinters are Florence Griffith Joyner, Carmelita Jeter and Marion Jones, who are all American. Joyner's fastest time in the 100-meter was 10.49 seconds, set in the 1988 Olympics in Seoul, South Korea, at a speed of 31.27 feet per second. Jeter's fastest time is 10.64 seconds. Jones' is 10.65 seconds. The three fastest male marathon runners are, according to Runners World, Dennis Kimetto of Kenya, Kenenisa Bekele of Ethiopia and Eliud Kipchoge of Kenya. Kimetto set the record for the fastest marathon time at the Berlin Marathon in 2014. He completed the 26.2-mile race in just 2 hours, 2 minutes and 57 seconds. Bekele finished the Berlin Marathon in 2:03:03 in 2016. Kipchoge ran the London Marathon in 2:03:05 in 2016. The three fastest female marathon runners are Paula Radcliffe of England, Mary Keitany of Kenya and Tirunesh Dibaba of Kenya. Radcliffe completed the 2003 London Marathon in 2:15:25. Keitany completed the 2017 London Marathon at 2:17:01. Dibaba finished the same race in 2:17:56.
