Please answer ASAP. Thank you!

The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) and the Standard & Poor's 500 (S&P 500) indexes are used as measures of overall movement in the stock market. The DJIA is based on the price movements of 30 large companies; the S&P 500 is an index composed of 500 stocks. Some say the S&P 500 is a better measure of stock market performance because it is broader based. Suppose the closing price for the DJIA and the S&P 500 for 144 days in a certain year are as provided in the file closingprices3.xlsx. (a) Develop a scatter chart for these data with DJIA as the independent variable. What does the scatter chart indicate about the relationship between DJIA and S&P 500? The scatter chart indicates there may be a positive linear relationship between DJIA and S&P 500. The scatter chart indicates there may be no noticeable linear relationship between DJIA and S&P 500. The scatter chart indicates there may be a negative linear relationship between DJIA and S&P 500. (b) Develop an estimated linear…

Joseph Randal has just been named the director of alumni relationships at a local university. Alumni donations are an important source of revenue for colleges and universities. If administrators could determine the factors that could lead to increases in the percentage of alumni who make a donation, they might be able to implement policies that could lead to increased revenues. Research shows that students who are more satisfied with their contact with teachers are more likely to graduate. As a result, one might suspect that smaller class sizes and lower student/faculty ration might lead to a higher percentage of satisfied graduates, which in turn might lead to increases in percentage of alumni who make a donation.    Joseph is feeling an extra pressure to increase total giving to the university because of recent budget cuts. Joseph is also feeling pressured to increase the percentage of alumni to give. Joseph found this new metric called average alumni giving rate U.S. News &…

A mail-order catalog business that sells personal computer supplies, software, and hardware maintains a centralized warehouse for the distribution of products ordered. Management is currently examining the process of distribution from the warehouse and has the business objective of determining the factors that affect warehouse distribution costs. Currently, a handling fee is added to the order, regardless of the amount of the order. Data that indicate the warehouse distribution costs and the number of orders received have been collected over the past 24 months and can be seen below:     Months Distribution Cost ($thousands) Number of Orders 1 52.95 4015 2 71.66 3806 3 85.58 5309 4 63.69 4262 5 72.81 4296 6 68.44 4097 7 52.46 3213 8 70.77 4809 9 82.03 5237 10 74.39 4732 11 70.84 4413 12 54.08 2921 13 62.98 3977 14 72.30 4428 15 58.99 3964 16 79.38 4582…

The human race is in danger warns authors Shanna Swan and Stacey Colina in their book COUNT DOWN: How Our Modern World Is Altering Male and Female Reproductive Development, Threatening Sperm Counts, and Imperiling the Future of the Human Race.   A study Swan cites in “Count Down” found that just over a quarter of men experiencing erectile dysfunction were under 40. That may be, in part, because testosterone levels have been dropping at 1 percent per year since 1982.   The outlook for women isn’t good either. The miscarriage rate has risen by 1 percent per year over the last two decades (since 2000). If these trajectories continue, in vitro fertilization and other artificial reproductive technologies may become a widely needed tool for conceiving children.     In what year will male testosterone levels fall to half what they were on average in 1982?       In what year will miscarriages double from the number recorded in 2000?

The Federal Bureau of Investigation reports state-level and national data on crimes.  An investigator compares the incidence of crime in the United States in 1991 and in 2001.  In 1991, there were 28,000 crimes compared with 22,000 in 2001.  Can you conclude that the US became more law-abiding over that time period?

If the report underestimated the increase in STEM jobs over the period 2020-2028 by 11%, and overestimated the decrease in manufacturing and production jobs by 26% over the same period, what would be the impact on the actual number of jobs available in total across these sectors? All information is shown in the images.

When I was a student, I was one of a relative minority who worked in addition to going to classes.  That circumstance has changed drastically in the intervening years.  According to several recent studies, almost all students work at least part-time, and many work full-time while enrolled in classes (ACE Center for Policy and Analysis, 2006; Alfano and Eduljee, 2013; Perna, 2010).  Both faculty and administrators are concerned that the shift in focus to the world outside of school can affect academic performance.  We compare the GPA of students who work at least part-time outside of class with those who do not work.  What test should you use and why?

licaciones M Gmail YouTube Maps Noticias Traducir Question Completion Status: QUESTION 23 Over doses from opioids have captured the national spotlight. Rightly so - they kill nearly 30,000 Americas a year and cause more than 1 million hospitalizations. However, the misuse of over-the-counter pain medications (e.g. Tylenol, Advil, Aleve) can cause stomach bleeding, ulcers, liver disease and, in some cases, death. Approximately 80% of Americans use these medications to relieve headaches, backaches, sore muscles, and reduce fever but they are unaware of the dangers if the drugs are not used correctly. A random sample (n-101) of adults were given a questionnaire to ask the question "How often do you use pain medication in one day?".

What is the purpose and function of the Institutional Review Board?

PharmaPlus operates a chain of 30 pharmacies. The pharmacies are staffed by licensed pharmacists and pharmacy technicians. The company currently employs 85 full-time equivalent pharmacists (combination of full time and part time) and 175 full-time equivalent technicians. Each spring management reviews current staffing levels and makes hiring plans for the year. A recent forecast of the prescription load for the next year shows that at least 254 full-time equivalent employees (pharmacists and technicians) will be required to staff the pharmacies. The personnel department expects 10 pharmacists and 30 technicians to leave over the next year. To accommodate the expected attrition and prepare for future growth, management stated that at least 15 new pharmacists must be hired. In addition, PharmaPlus's new service quality guidelines specify no more than two technicians per licensed pharmacist. The average salary for licensed pharmacists is $60 per hour and the average salary for technicians…
