Administrative assistants in a local university have been asked to prove their proficiency in the use of spreadsheet software by taking a proficiency test. Historically, the mean test score has been 74 with a standard deviation of 4. A random sample of size 40 is taken from the 100 administrative assistants and asked to complete the proficiency test.

What is the probability that the sample mean score is more than 75, the predetermined passing score?

2. Look up a coffee-cup calorimeter in your textbook and describe the components of the apparatus. (2 points) Assuming that the calorimeter prevents any heat to be taken in or released, the amount of heat transferred between the system and the surroundings should be equal in value but opposite in sign. For example, if a hot piece of metal gives off 5 J of energy, than the surrounding water should take in 5 J of energy. (Remember exothermic processes have a “-“q while endothermic process have a “+” q).

q_system = - q_surroundings

With that being said, the transfer of heat during a chemical reaction can be concluded as

q_system (aka the reaction) = - q_surroundings (aka the solution)

and since we know that…

q = C x m x DT

we can conclude that…

c_rxn x m_rxn x DT_rxn= - (c_soln x m_soln x DT_soln)

(note that the “-“ sign is just to show that they are equal but opposite. The actual value of the rxn and solution depend on the reaction that took place)

The stockholders’ equity section of Flint Inc. at the beginning of the current year appears. Common stock, $10 par value, authorized 1,097,000 shares, 281,000 shares issued and outstanding $2,810,000 Paid-in capital in excess of par—common stock 554,000 Retained earnings 556,000 During the current year, the following transactions occurred.

1. The company issued to the stockholders 92,000 rights. Ten rights are needed to buy one share of stock at $30. The rights were void after 30 days. The market price of the stock at this time was $32 per share.

2. The company sold to the public a $217,000, 10% bond issue at 103. The company also issued with each $100 bond one detachable stock purchase warrant, which provided for the purchase of common stock at $28 per share. Shortly after issuance, similar bonds without warrants were selling at 96 and the warrants at $7.

3. All but 4,600 of the rights issued in (1) were exercised in 30 days.

4. At the end of the year, 80% of the warrants in (2) had been exercised, and the remaining were outstanding and in good standing.

5. During the current year, the company granted stock options for 9,800 shares of common stock to company executives. The company, using a fair value option-pricing model, determines that each option is worth $10. The option price is $28. The options were to expire at year-end and were considered compensation for the current year.

6. All but 980 shares related to the stock-option plan were exercised by year-end. The expiration resulted because one of the executives failed to fulfill an obligation related to the employment contract.

Prepare general journal entries for the current year to record the transactions listed above

A marketing research firm wishes to compare the prices charged by two supermarket chains—Miller’s and Albert’s. The research firm, using a standardized one-week shopping plan (grocery list), makes identical purchases at 10 of each chain’s stores. The stores for each chain are randomly selected, and all purchases are made during a single week. It is found that the mean and the standard deviation of the shopping expenses at the 10 Miller’s stores are x1¯¯¯¯?=?$115.41x1¯?=?$115.41 and s₁= 1.12. It is also found that the mean and the standard deviation of the shopping expenses at the 10 Albert’s stores are x2¯¯¯¯?=?$115.27x2¯?=?$115.27 and s₂= 2.39.

1. Suppose a polluter initially faces marginal abatement curve MAC1 = 320-10E1 , but it has the possibility of investing in R&D and thereby lowering its marginal abatement cost curve to MAC2 = 160 – 5E2. Compute the cost savings to the polluter if it adopts the new technology (MAC2) after the introduction of an emissions tax of $100 per tonne. Compute the cost savings under a standard that is set at 20 tonnes. Explain why the tax provides a larger incentive to innovate than does the standard. (10 points)

When income effects are very strong for the representative consumer ...

any increase in his productivity will shift the AD curve farther to the right than the AS curve; the consumer wants to consume more of the produced goods but less leisure.

any increase in his productivity will shift the AD curve farther to the right than the AS curve; the consumer wants to consume more produced goods but not more leisure.

any increase in his productivity will shift the AS curve farther to the right than the AD curve; the consumer wants to consume more produced goods and leisure.

any increase in his productivity will shift the AS curve farther to the left than the AD curve; the consumer wants to consume less produced goods and leisure.

any increase in his productivity will shift the AD curve just as much as the AS curve; the consumer wants to consume less leisure.

A student, while moving out of his old apartment, is loading a rented moving truck using a ramp which is at a rather steep angle of 28.0 degrees above the horizontal; the ramp is 2.70 m long. At one point in the loading process he drags a loaded suitcase of mass 25.50 kg up the full length of the ramp. The wheels on the old suitcase have long since ceased to function properly, so that the effective coefficient of kinetic friction between the suitcase and the inclined ramp is 0.260. The old suitcase has a strap attached to one corner, and the student does the dragging by pulling on this strap and running up the ramp (he is in a hurry) so that he and the suitcase speed up while going up the ramp. It turns out the the student is able to maintain a tension of 188.0 N during his pull, and the angle between the strap and the incline is 19.0 degrees(the strap direction is 19.0 degrees higher than the incline angle).

A.How much work is done on the suitcase by the tension force during the pull up the ramp?

B.How much work is done by the force of gravity on the suitcase by the Earth during the pull up the ramp?

D.How much work is done by the frictional force on the suitcase by the ramp during the pull up the ramp?

E.As a result of the pull up the incline, what is the increase in the thermal energy present in the suitcase and in the surface of the ramp?

F.What is the change in the kinetic energy of the suitcase as a result of the pull up the incline?
