Home vs Road Wins – Significance Test: For the NHL regular season, the Chicago Blackhawks won 27 out of 41 home games and won 18 out of 41 away games. Clearly the Blackhawks won a greater proportion of home games. Here we investigate whether or not they did significantly better at home than on the road. The table summarizes the relevant data. The p̂'s are actually population proportions but you should treat them as sample proportions. The standard error (SE) is given to save calculation time if you are not using software.

Data Summary

SE = 0.10990

The Test: Test the claim that the proportion of wins at home was significantly greater than on the road. Use a 0.05 significance level.

(a) Letting p̂₁ be the proportion of wins at home and p̂₂ be the proportion of wins on the road, calculate the test statistic using software or the formulaz =

where δ_p is the hypothesized difference in proportions from the null hypothesis and the standard error (SE) given with the data. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.
z =
To account for hand calculations -vs- software, your answer must be within 0.01 of the true answer.

(b) Use software or the z-table to get the P-value of the test statistic. Round to 4 decimal places.
P-value =

(c) What is the conclusion regarding the null hypothesis?

reject H₀

fail to reject H₀    

(d) Choose the appropriate concluding statement.

The data supports the claim that the proportion of wins at home was significantly greater than on the road.

While the proportion of wins at home was greater than on the road, the difference was not great enough to be considered significant.    

We have proven that the Blackhawks always do better at home games.

We have proven there was no difference in the proportion of wins at home than wins on the road.

Write a Java program

1-)write a program that simulates a vending machine, takes input from the user (money), and returns the change to the user.

The change means

Quarter =   25 cent

Dime = 10 cent

Nickels = 5 cent

Pinneies = 1 cent

2-) What is the output produced by the following code?

• int result = 11;
• result /= 2;
• System.out.println("resu lt is " + result);

Create a smoking-cessation program using the four elements of persuasion, McGuire’s Persuasive Communication Model, and Learning Theories. Your program can include group activities, campaign slogans, mass media, and any other behavior modification techniques that we discussed in class. Be sure to clearly explain each technique that you are using and give a rationale. (minimum 4 typed pages)

Assignment6A: This used to be entertainment. If you haven’t played the classic game Pong, then you are now required to do so. Though it doesn’t capture the poor quality of the original, you can find an emulator at Pong-2.com. Play it (using the keyboard).   Do you see how the ball bounces off of the walls and the paddles? You’re going to learn how to do this by creating class Ball.

A Ball has an X and Y position. Equally important, a ball has an x velocity and a y velocity. Every time the ball moves (in one unit of time), it changes its X and Y position by its x and y velocity. However, before moving it, you need to check to see if it’s touching a wall. If so, you need to reverse either its x or y velocity depending on whether or not its touching a wall. What is the ball’s location if its touching a wall? For simplicity, we’re going to assume that the ball is on a 10x10 field and that the x and y velocities can only be -1, 0, or +1.

Your task is to 1) write class Ball that has the variables/attributes above, 2) has a constructor that takes in the starting X and Y position as well as the starting X and Y velocity, 3) has a method called “move” that takes no parameters and updates the position of the ball and 4) has a print statement called “print” that takes no parameters and prints out the ball’s current position.

You must call the class “Ball” and put it in a file called Ball(.java, .cs, .cpp, .h). To test your ball, you should create a file called Assignment6A(.java, .cs, .cpp) that creates a ball based off of user input and calls the “move” and “print” methods of the ball the number of times the user wants. It should behave like the sample output below.

An open empty tank (filled with atmospheric air at 27oC and 100 kPa) is filled with liquid nitrogen as much as 14 kg quickly. After that, the tank is immediately closed and allowed to stand for a certain period of time. The tank is equipped with an open pipe manometer where the manometer fluid used is mercury (s.g. = 13.55). In the condition of the closed tank, the results of reading the manometer when it is constant shows that the difference in mercury surface height is 38 cm.

If it is assumed:
1. This system runs isothermal.
2. Nitrogen gas and air follow the ideal gas principle.
3. During the tank closing process, no nitrogen gas is lost.
4. Because liquid nitrogen intake and tank closure are fast, the volume of liquid nitrogen can be neglected meaning that at t = 0, the tank is considered to only contain air.

Therefore,
a. Determine the tank volume used!
b. Determine the number of moles of air in the tank!
c. Determine the specific gravity value of the gas mixture!

Lynda Corporation manufactures two typed of glass sheets: clear glass and colored glass. Department 1 produces clear glass sheets, some of which we sold as finished goods. Others are transferred to Department 2, which adds additional materials to the clear glass sheets to form colored glass sheets, which are sold and finished product. The company something something operation something systems.

During the period, 2 jobs, were completed. Job Alpha was for 10,000 clear glass sheets and required in $200,000 materials. Job Beta was for 5,000 colored sheets and called for materials of $100,000 in department 1 and additional materials of $40,000 in Department 2.

The company strictly adhered to a Just-In-Time (JIT) inventory system for work in process

Conversion costs for the period were as follows:

Department 1              $180,000

Department 2              $50,000

Calculate the cost per unit transferred to finished goods inventory for each job, Alpha and Beta

$_____________   $______________

Alpha                          Beta

Job Beta is being sold to the government on a cost-plus basis. The vice president of marketing suggests that the conversion costs from Department #1 could be allocated on the basis of materials costs, so that he can offer a lower price for Job Alpha.

What do you think of this idea? Does it sound right? Are there any other issues here? Would you advise the company to do this? Explain.
