Suppose a company issues a press release announcing a new line of business that has a positive NPV of $30 per share of stock outstanding. In an efficient market, what will happen to the stock price at the time of the announcement? What will happen to the stock price in the days following the announcement assuming no new news becomes available about the company? Explain your responses.

Draw a labelled sketch showing how the eye works and which parts of the eye see variations of contrast, color and detail (include rods and cones in your sketch). What does the “blind spot” mean and where is it in the eye? Does the eye see an upright or an inverted image? How does the lens of the eye work? Is the lens static?

Please Use Matlab to do this problem:
The cross-sectional area measurements (??2) from 7 cells are as follows:
? = [153.3 91.2 99.3 115.0 101.7 135.8 102.4 ]
Assuming the cross-sectional areas of the cells are normally
distributed, construct a two-sided 95% confidence interval for the
mean cross-sectional area of the entire batch.
Then, generate one figure:
Plot all 7 data points on x-axis, mark them with red circles;
Plot the mean value, which is going to be the center of your interval, mark it with
blue x;
Plot the upper and lower limit of the interval, mark them with black squares;
Have your x-axis range from 70 to 180;
Have your y-axis range from -1 to +1. (So, your x-axis will be in the middle of
your figure)
You can play with the line width and font to make your figure more reader friendly.

Do you get more for your money by buying loose or prepackaged carrots? 40 random packages of carrots, labeled “1 pound” were selected from 8 different grocery stores and weighed to the nearest gram. (Note: grams were used as the unit of measurement so that the measurement could be more precise. One pound is equivalent to 454 grams.) The sample mean weight was 512.2 grams with a standard deviation of 39.3 grams. Is there evidence that the mean weight of a “1 pound” bag of carrots weighs differently than 454 grams (the equivalent of 1 pound)
a. Define the parameter(s) and state the hypotheses.
b. What would be a good graph to display the data from this study?
c. Are the conditions for the appropriate analysis met? Explain and show work or attach a graph if appropriate.
d. Compute the appropriate test statistic (show work). (3 points)
e. How many degrees of freedom does the test statistic have?
f. Find the p-value.
g. Based on your p-value, what do you conclude? Use = 0.01.
h. Construct a 90% confidence interval for the mean weight (in grams) of a “1 pound” bag of carrots. Write a sentence interpreting your confidence interval.

Question 1
| Which of the statements below is the best hypothesis for the osmosis lab. |
| If a salt water solution is placed inside of the potato and plain tap water is placed outside of the potato then osmosis will occur and water molecules will move into the potato. And the level of water inside of the potato will rise. |
| If plain tap water is placed inside of the potato and a solution of salt water is placed outside of the potato then osmosis will occur and water molecules will move into the potato |
| If the the potato is soaked in salt water then it will gain weight by the water molecules moving into the potato cells. This is not osmosis |
| I think there should be no net movement of water molecules (osmosis) because the potato cells are already in an isotonic state. |
Question 2
| Which of the following is a good indicator that osmosis has occurred? |
| The water level inside of the potato has risen. |
| The potato is soggy and discolored. |
| There is no change in the potato or the levels of water. |
|
The water level outside of the potato has decreased because the water evaporated. |
Question 3
Which of the following solutions is considered hypotonic? (Points : 3)
| The plain tap water |
| The salt water |
| The spilled water |
| The wine you used instead of water |
Question 4
A good purpose statement for this lab is: The purpose of this lab experiment is to show that water molecules move from high to low concentration; the water will move by osmosis. (Points : 2)
| True |
| False |
Question 5
It is not necessary to take measurements of the water in the potato in this lab, you can see if there is a change (osmosis) just by looking at it. But you would want to collect data for the results in a written lab report.
| True |
| False |
Question 6
The graph or chart (results) with the information for this lab should include: beginning and ending data, labels, units and times of measurement if written in a formal lab report.
| True |
| False |
Question 7
The conclusion is usually the longest section of a lab report. This is the section where you explain or analyze the results you found.
| True |
| False |
Question 8
| In your osmosis/potato lab, the plain water is the solvent. |
| True |
| False |
Question 9
The cell membrane around the potato cells is permeable to water molecules. This explains why the salt does not move into and out of the cells but the water molecules do........... raising (increasing) the water level.
| True |
| False |
Question 10
Evidence to support osmosis in this lab might include the water level rising inside of the potato filled with salt water.
| True |
| False |
Question 11
In your osmosis/potato lab, the molecules of salt are the solute.
| True |
| False |
| In 5 sentences or less, how can you relate, compare or contrast what happened to the potato (cells) to what occurs in your own body cells? Your response does not need to be specifically related to just salt (NaCl) molecules. Consider other molecules if you wish. |
Question 13.
In your osmosis/potato lab the mixture of the salt and water is the solution.
| True |
| False |
