the scores of students on the SAT college entrance examinations at a certain high school had a normal distribution with mean μ=536.1μ=536.1 and standard deviation σ=27.9σ=27.9.
(a) What is the probability that a single student randomly
chosen from all those taking the test scores 540 or higher?
ANSWER:
For parts (b) through (d), consider a simple random sample (SRS) of
35 students who took the test.
(b) What are the mean and standard deviation of the sample mean
score x¯x¯, of 35 students?
The mean of the sampling distribution for x¯x¯
is:
The standard deviation of the sampling distribution for x¯x¯
is:

Professor Wendy Smith has been offered the following opportunity: A law firm would like to retain her for an upfront payment of
$ 49 comma 000$49,000.
In return, for the next year the firm would have access to eight hours of her time every month. As an alternative payment arrangement, the firm would pay Professor Smith's hourly rate for the eight hours each month. Smith's rate is
$ 540$540
per hour and her opportunity cost of capital is
15 %15%
per year. What does the IRR rule advise regarding the payment arrangement? (Hint: Find the monthly rate that will yield an effective annual rate of

Java question: Write a method printCombinationR(int[] array, int r) that generates and prints all possible combinations of r elements in array of size n,. For example, if input array is {1, 2, 3, 4} and r is 2, then output should be {1, 2}, {1, 3}, {1, 4}, {2, 3}, {2, 4} and {3, 4}.
I kind of know how to write this with DFS with four or five formal parameters, however I don't know how to solve it after the formal parameters are restricted by only using (int[] array, int r).
