A rich donor has approached a small liberal arts college and wants to know what the total of all of the student debt at the college is. She is considering paying off every student’s debt, but needs to know how much that is before she publicly announces her plan. In response, the school decides to conduct a survey of its students to find out what the total of all students’ debt is. They want to be sure that in-state, out-of-state, and international students are all properly represented so they decide to take a stratified sample. Using the below information, calculate the total student debt for the college and construct a confidence interval around the total student debt for the college. NOTE: You will have to choose a reasonable confidence interval.

The Survey of Study Habits and Attitudes (SSHA) is a psychological test that measures the motivation, attitude toward school, and study habits of students. Scores range from 0 to 200. A selective private college gives the SSHA to an SRS of both male and female first-year students. The data for the women are as follows: 154 109 137 115 152 140 154 178 101 103 126 126 137 165 165 129 200 148 Here are the scores of the men: 108 140 114 91 180 115 126 92 169 146 109 132 75 88 113 151 70 115 187 104
Most studies have found that the mean SSHA score for men is lower than the mean score in a comparable group of women. Is this true for first-year students at this college? Use a 1% significance level.

Cheyenne Corp. enters into a contract with a customer to build an apartment building for $995,600. The customer hopes to rent apartments at the beginning of the school year and provides a performance bonus of $145,500 to be paid if the building is ready for rental beginning August 1, 2018. The bonus is reduced by $48,500 each week that completion is delayed. Cheyenne commonly includes these completion bonuses in its contracts and, based on prior experience, estimates the following completion outcomes:
| Completed by | Probability | ||
| August 1, 2018 | 70 | % | |
| August 8, 2018 | 20 | ||
| August 15, 2018 | 5 | ||
| After August 15, 2018 | 5 | ||
(a) Determine the transaction price for the
contract, assuming Cheyenne is only able to estimate whether the
building can be completed by August 1, 2018, or not (Cheyenne
estimates that there is a 70% chance that the building will be
completed by August 1, 2018). (If answer is 0, please
enter 0. Do not leave any fields blank.)
| Transaction Price | $ |
(b) Determine the transaction price for the
contract, assuming Cheyenne has limited information with which to
develop a reliable estimate of completion by the August 1, 2018,
deadline.
