I was advised the answer is not b

QUESTION 1 This theory states that nature should be protected because it is useful to humanity: a. Instrumental model of environmental value. b. Deep ecology model. c. Stewardship model. d. None of the answer choices are correct.

1) True or False? We use Femlab (labor force participation rate among females) to predict Cancer (death rate per 100,000 population due to cancer) in the 50 U.S. states. By the Excel ANOVA table on the overall significance below (some information is missing but can be worked out for the full information ANOVA table), it must be the case that the SSR is 5377.836 and SST is 54745.225.

2) Based off the table presented above, We use Femlab (labor force participation rate among females) to predict Cancer (death rate per 100,000 population due to cancer) in the 50 U.S. states. By the Excel ANOVA table on the overall significance below, the MSE must be equal to

a) 1028.487

b) 2140.525

c) 865.231

d) 3148.792

3) Based off the table presented above, We use Femlab (labor force participation rate among females) to predict Cancer (death rate per 100,000 population due to cancer) in the 50 U.S. states. By the Excel ANOVA table on the overall significance below, the F statistic must be equal to

a) 1.364

b) 3.547

c) 5.229

d) 8.523

4) True or False? We use Femlab (labor force participation rate among females) to predict Cancer (death rate per 100,000 population due to cancer) in the 50 U.S. states. By the Excel ANOVA table on the overall significance below, we fail to reject the null hypothesis that the overall fit of this model is poor, because the F statistic is less than the F critical value in a right tailed-test, at α ൌ 0.05 (Hint: you can use the Excel function F.INV.RT(α, df1, df2) to find the critical value) Based off the table presented above

A simple random sample of size nequals60 is obtained from a population with muequals69 and sigmaequals5. Does the population need to be normally distributed for the sampling distribution of x overbar to be approximately normally​ distributed? Why? What is the sampling distribution of x overbar​? Does the population need to be normally distributed for the sampling distribution of x overbar to be approximately normally​ distributed? Why? A. No because the Central Limit Theorem states that only if the shape of the underlying population is normal or uniform does the sampling distribution of x overbar become approximately normal as the sample​ size, n, increases. B. Yes because the Central Limit Theorem states that the sampling variability of nonnormal populations will increase as the sample size increases. C. Yes because the Central Limit Theorem states that only for underlying populations that are normal is the shape of the sampling distribution of x overbar ​normal, regardless of the sample​ size, n. D. No because the Central Limit Theorem states that regardless of the shape of the underlying​ population, the sampling distribution of x overbar becomes approximately normal as the sample​ size, n, increases. Your answer is correct. What is the sampling distribution of x overbar​? Select the correct choice below and fill in the answer boxes within your choice. ​(Type integers or decimals rounded to three decimal places as​ needed.) A. The sampling distribution of x overbar is skewed left with mu Subscript x overbarequals nothing and sigma Subscript x overbarequals nothing. B. The sampling distribution of x overbar follows​ Student's t-distribution with mu Subscript x overbarequals nothing and sigma Subscript x overbarequals nothing. C. The sampling distribution of x overbar is normal or approximately normal with mu Subscript x overbarequals nothing and sigma Subscript x overbarequals nothing. D. The sampling distribution of x overbar is uniform with mu Subscript x overbarequals nothing and sigma Subscript x overbarequals nothing.

In the past few days I've become increasingly intrigued by the QHE, mainly thanks to very interesting questions and answers that have appeared here. Unfortunately, I am as of yet very confused by all the (seemingly disparate) stuff I learned.

First, here are some random points that I've been able to gather

I(nteger)QHE occurs due to the presence of Landau levels
IQHE is an embodiment of topological order and the states are characterized by the Chern number that tells us about topologically inequivalent Hamiltonians defined on the Brillouin zone
IQHE requires negligible electron-electron interations and so is dependent on the presence of impurities that shield from Coulomb force
F(ractional)QHE occurs because of formation of anyons. In this case Coulomb interaction can't be neglected but it turns out an effective non-interacting description emerges with particles obeying parastatistics and having fractional charge
FQHE has again something to do with topology, TQFT, Chern-Simons theory, braiding groups and lots of other stuff
FQHE has something to do with hierarchy states

So, here are the questions

Most importantly, do these points make sense? Please correct any mistakes I made and/or fill in other important observations
How do explanations 1. and 2. of IQHE come together? Landau quantization only talks about electron states while topological picture doesn't mention them at all (they should be replaced by global topological states that are stable w.r.t. perturbations)
How do explanations 4., 5. and 6. relate together
Is there any accessible introductory literature into these matters?
Do IQHE and FQHE have anything (besides last three letters) in common so that e.g. IQHE can be treated as a special case? My understanding (based on 3.) is that this is not the case but several points hint into opposite direction. That's also why I ask about both QHE in a single question

You are doing a review services and related tax work engagement for Murphy Construction Company. You have made extensive inquiries of management about their financial statements and have concluded that management has an excellent understanding of its business and is honest, but lacking in knowledge of technical accounting issues. In doing the review you determine the following: 1. Repairs and maintenance expense has increased significantly compared to the preceding year. The president states that this seems to have been a year with a lot of repairs, in part because their equipment is getting older. 2. Property tax expense is the same as last year even though Murphy purchased a new building, including the land. The president states that there are no real estate taxes on the new building and land until next year. 3. Based on your knowledge of the construction industry you know that the pipes Murphy uses in construction have had a decrease in selling price to construction companies near the end of the current year. The president states that even though they have a large pipe inventory it will all be used in the next year or two, so the current price doesn’t matter because they won’t need to buy any. 4. Accounts receivable has increased almost 25% compared to the previous year, but the allowance for uncollectible accounts has stayed the same. The president states that even though receivables have increased, they still expect uncollectible accounts to be less than the stated allowance. 5. In discussions with the president you determine that there is a material uninsured lawsuit against the company from a former customer. The president believes it is a frivolous lawsuit and will not permit a footnote about it for fear that it will result in similar lawsuits from other customers.

Describe the main financing sources for corporations in both countries United Kingdom and Qatar. Explain the reasons whether and why corporations in both countries are looking beyond national borders to access international capital markets.

With greater financial integration in the last two decades, what are the main factors that affect their choices of capital? Are legal considerations, economic potentials and challenges, demographic and cultural transformations act as factors that determine their decisions-making process on capital structure? Explain your answer.

From the previous question, what impact do the previous factors have on the choice of capital structure for corporations in both countries and how will they affect corporate financing decisions in the future.

Based on your previous analysis on the factors that affect capital structure and financing choices, do you find the globalization of capital markets (integration of international capital markets) has played a complete positive impact on the capital structure and choices of capital in both countries? Explain your answer.
