Professor Fair believes extra time does not improve grades on exams. He randomly divided a group of 300 students into two groups and gave them all the same test. One group had exactly 1 hour in which to finish the test, and the other group could stay as long as desired. The results follow. Test at the 0.01 level of significance that time to do a test and test results are independent.

7. In 2019, Taxpayer (“T”) is a single, 65 year-old individual who is a U.S. citizen. T turned 65 in 2019. T receives $18,000 of social security income in 2019 (the first year T received Social Security Benefits). Also, T received $6,000 of interest income from a municipal bond in both 2018 and 2019. On June 1, 2018, T took a job with a multi-national corporation which paid T $5,000 per month. As a condition of the job, T is required to work overseas, in the country of Austria, and T did in fact work in Austria for 214 days (From June 1 – December 31) in 2018. T is offered to continue to work (still in Austria and still for $5,000 per month) for seven additional months (from January 1 until the end of July, which is 211 days) in 2019, at which point T’s position would terminate. T is trying to decide whether T wants to continue to work for seven months in 2019 or quit on January 1. (These are T’s only transactions during 2018 and 2019).

a. What is T’s Gross Income in 2019 if T continues to work through July of 2019? __________________________________

b. What is T’s Gross Income in 2019 if T does NOT continue to work in 2019? __________________________________

c. Excluding the effects of the payroll tax and any credits, What is the economic benefit to T of continuing to work for 7 months in 2019 (meaning how much total extra money, after-tax, will T have as a result of continuing to work in 2019)? _____________________

There is a single-plank bridge. Only one person can cross the bridge without any stop. The pedestrian can cross the bridge from west to east or from east to west. If there is more than 0 pedestrian crossing the bridge from west to east, no pedestrian can try to cross the bridge from east to west, but more than 1 pedestrian can cross the bridge from west to east, and vice versa. The pedestrian can cross the bridge immediately if there is no pedestrian on the bridge. Use Semaphore to solve this problem.

Your sister will start college in five years. She just informed your parents that she wants to go to Georgia Southern University. It will cost $20,000 per year for four years (cost assumed to come at the beginning of each year). Anticipating her ambitions, your parents have saved already $15,000 and will continue to invest at the end of each month for the next five years. How much more will your parents have to invest each month for the next 5 years to have the necessary funds for your sister’s college education? Assume the interest rate is 10% annual compounding.

Please answer all parts of the question, with all work shown

Suppose there are 300 cards in a box numbered 1 through 300. Therefore, the number of each card has one, two, or three digits. A card is drawn at random from the box. Suppose that the number on the card has X digits of which Y are 0. Suppose we would like to know whether X and Y are correlated, negatively correlated, or uncorrelated. Determine Cov(X,Y)Cov(X,Y) and ρ(X,Y)ρ(X,Y), hence settling the question.
