Anthropogenically induced Climate Change or Global Warming endured many years of controversy before gaining widespread public acceptance despite the accumulation of substantial data and developing theories.

  1. What evidence or data do you think is the most conclusive or convincing and why?
  2. Which impact will have the most detrimental effect on our area and why?
  3. What are possible solutions to remedy your chosen impact

Using the draw.io site or a flowcharting tool of your choice, build flowchart that models a complete Java program called PasswordChecker that gets a String from the user at the command line and checks whether the String, called inputPassword, conforms to the password policy. The flowchart should be sufficiently detailed and follow the standards we’ve showcased in our course.

The password policy is:

  • Must be 3 characters in length
  • Must include at least one uppercase character
  • Must include at least one digit

 If the password conforms to the policy, output “The provided password is valid.” Otherwise output “The provided password is invalid. Please try again”. A loop is not needed for this program.

In 2005, data were collected on size distribution within a snake population in eastern Oklahoma just before a major drought affected the area. Drought conditions continued through 2009 when data were collected again on this same snake population.

Infrared Geological Technologies (IGT) has been using the residual dividend policy in the past to determine its per share dividend. The firm’s management has decided that it will now change this dividend policy. The new policy will be a much lower dividend per share than last year of only $1.00. However, if the firm has considerable excess cash, the firm will consider paying a onetime extraordinary dividend or repurchasing stock.

You have been retained by the firm to write the press release for this change in dividend policy.

 All five members of a project team add 15% to their individual serial activities as a safety margin and submit their time estimates to the project manager. The manager adds the activity length estimates together and adds 10% for his personal safety margin. Then, anticipating a cut by top management, adds another 10% to his final project estimate. Much to his surprise, top management cuts 30% off his time estimate. How much of a cushion is now built into the project?

T or F

1.      Temperature is a measure of the random motion of atoms and molecules.

2.      In nature, light is produced by accelerating charged particles and by electrons engaging in quantum jumps.

3.      Reddish stars have hotter surface temperatures compared to bluish stars.

4.      Helium has an atomic number of 2 which indicates that a neutral atom of helium-4 contains 4 electrons.

5.      Changing the number of neutrons inside an atom will change one element into another element.

6.      Two molecules of the element hydrogen are needed to make one atom of the compound water.

7.      Cool stars tend to form molecules by allowing atoms to share electrons with each other.

The Washington Capitals recently won the National Hockey League’s Stanley Cup championship, and there was a parade on June 12 to celebrate. Let’s say 500,000 people attended the parade. We want to interview (sample) some of the Capitals fans at the parade to find things out about Capitals fans in general.

1)     Suppose we believe that the standard deviation of Capitals fans’ income is $20,000 (close to the overall standard deviation of American incomes). We sample 45 Capitals fans at the parade (some people declined to give a response, but 45 people did give answers) and find that these 45 fans have a mean income of $58,500.

a.     Assuming this is a valid, random sample, specify a 95% confidence interval of what we think the mean of the population is given this sample. Please justify which statistic you use (t or z).

b.     One Capitals fan, during the interviews, says he thinks that the mean income of Capitals fans is $61,000. Does our sample (again, let’s assume it’s a valid sample), support his belief?

c.      If the fan from part b is correct, what is the probability of a sample of 45 Caps fans having a mean income less than or equal to $58,500?  

d.     How many fans do we need to interview to be 95% confident that we have a sample mean within $2,000 of the population mean.

e.     Explain two ways that this sampling method is biased (remember that we are trying to estimate the mean income of all Capitals fans) – you don’t necessarily need to name the type of bias involved, but just explain two things wrong with it.

2)     We also ask those 45 people whether they have season statistics to estimate what percentage of Capitals fans actually have season tickets. (Again, assume our sampling method is valid for questions 2 and 3)

a.     Suppose 15 of the interviewees say they have season tickets. Based on this sample, specify a 99% confidence interval for the percentage of Caps fans who have season tickets.  

b.     How many fans would we need to interview to be 99% confident that we have an estimate of this proportion within plus or minus 3%?

3)     At the end of the parade, we decide that we want to ask some fans about their weights because we think that hockey fans are bigger than most people. Since we decided this so late, we only had time to interview 20 people. Among these 20, we found a mean weight of 215 pounds, with a standard deviation of 20 pounds, and we assume that the weights are normally distributed. Specify a 95% confidence interval for the mean weight of the population. Please justify which statistic you use (t or z).

Also I have to calculate total manufacturing OH. Do I add Direct Labor and factory overhead to get this number?

The following is a list of events that occurred during the year end preparation of the financial statements of Labelle Supplies.

/in /by

The following is a list of events that occurred during the year end preparation of the financial statements of Labelle Supplies. Labelle has a December 31 fiscal year end and uses a perpetual inventory system.

1.

When taking the inventory count, some items were omitted from the count because they were outside, under a foot of snow.

2.

Goods Labelle was holding on consignment for other merchants were included in the inventory count.

3.

Goods, returned to Labelle from a customer and received by Labelle one day before the inventory count, were set aside and not counted. Before December 31, Labelle sent a full credit to the customer although it had not inspected the merchandise to decide what to do with it. Later, inspection determined the inventory to be in excellent condition.

4.

Goods, held on consignment for Labelle, were not included in the inventory count.

5.

Defective inventory Labelle was about to send back to their supplier was not counted. Early in January, Labelle returned the goods to the supplier for a full credit.
