Stacy is working on a science project collecting data on the size of the circumference of her classmates’ heads. She wants to represent her data graphically and is trying to decide whether to use a bar graph or a histogram. She says, “Well, aren’t they the same?” Help Stacy create a graphic organizer to represent the similarities and differences between the two graphs.

Science fiction stories have included spaceships that use the annihilation of matter and antimatter to produce energy. How much matter and antimatter would be required to launch a 15,000-kg spaceship from Earth’s orbit out of the solar system? Ignore the energy necessary to escape Earth’s gravity, and assume equal amounts of matter and antimatter.

A sports trainer has monthly costs of $69.95 for phone service and$39.99 for his website and advertising. In addition he pays a $20 fee to the gym for each session in which he trains a client. a. Write a cost function to represent the cost C(x) for x training sessions for a given month. b. Write a function representing the average cost$$\bar{C}$(x)$for x sessions. c. Evaluate$$\bar{C}$(5), $\bar{C}$(30),$and$$\bar{C}$(120)$. d. The trainer can realistically have 120 sessions per month. However, if the number of sessions were unlimited, what value would the average cost approach? What does this mean in the context of the problem?

National Science Foundation funding for research increased in the decades of the 1980s and 1990s. The table gives funding at the beginning of each decade since 1951. In the table, years are given as the number of years since 1900 . Thus, x=51 corresponds to 1951, x=61 corresponds to 1961 , and so on.

(a) Plot the data.

(b) Find a function defined by $f(x)=a(x-h)^2+k$ that models the data by using (51,0.1) as the vertex and (101,4.7) as the second point.

(c) Use the quadratic regression feature of a graphing calculator to determine the quadratic function g that best fits the data.

(d) Plot f and g in the same window as the data. Discuss how well the models fit the data.

The Hurley Hat Company manufactures baseball hats. Hurley's primary customers are sporting goods stores that supply uniforms to youth baseball teams. Following is Hurley's income statement for 2016:

$$\begin{array}{c} \textbf{HURLEY HAT COMPANY}\\ \text{Income Statement}\\ \text{Year Ended December 31, 2016}\\ \hline \end{array}$$

$$\begin{array}{lr} \text{Sales Revenue}&\$1,500,00\\ \text{Cost of Goods Sold}&\underline{700,000}\\ \text{Gross Profit}&800,000\\ \text{Selling and Administrative}&\underline{500,000}\\ \text{Operating Income}&\underline{\underline{\$300,000}}\\ \end{array}$$

In 2016, Hurley produced and sold 200,000 baseball hats. Of the Cost of Goods Sold, $150,000 is fixed; 80% of the Selling and Administrative Expenses are fixed. There were no beginning inventories on January 1, 2016. The company is operating at 100,000 hats below full production capacity and is considering increasing advertising to increase sales to the production capacity level. The marketing director predicts that an additional$100,000 expenditure for advertising would increase sales to 300,000 hats per year. The sales manager has been negotiating with buyers for several national sporting goods retailers and recommends the company expand production capacity to 400,000 hats in order to secure long-term contracts. The expansion is expected to increase fixed manufacturing costs by $200,000 per year. Additionally, the retailers are requesting a higher-quality hat, and the changes to the hat materials and manufacturing process would increase variable manufacturing costs by$1 per hat for the additional 200,000 hats. (The original 200,000 hats manufactured and sold would not be affected by this change.) Requirements

1. Use the data from the 2016 income statement to prepare an income statement using variable costing. Assume no beginning or ending inventories. Calculate the contribution margin ratio. Round to two decimal places.
2. Prepare an absorption costing income statement assuming the company increases advertising and production and sales increase to 300,000 hats.
3. Refer to the original data. Prepare an absorption costing income statement assuming the company increases capacity and sales and production increases to 400,000 total hats.
4. Which option should the company pursue? Explain your reasoning.

Is there enough evidence to conclude that victims of a home burglary [LAW3: Was your home burglarized or broken into in the last year? 1 = Yes, 2 = No] are less likely to favor requiring a police permit to buy a gun (GUNLAW: 1 = Favor, 2 = Oppose)?

In recent years, video ads have become the most popular rich media format for ad buyers as advertisers have begun to realize returns on online video advertising. According to research and forecast by Forrester, media spending on ads for the years 2012 through 2017 is projected to grow at the rate of $R(t)=0.538434 e^{0.234 t} \ (0 \leq t \leq 5)$ billion dollars/year in year t, with t = 0 corresponding to 2012. The expenditure on media spending on ads in 2012 stood at $2.9 billion. a. Find an expression for media spending on ads in year t. b. Assuming that the forecast was accurate, what would the media spending on ads be in 2016?

Katie mows lawns in the summer to earn extra money. She started with 3 lawns, and she now mows 12 lawns in her fourth summer. Graph the line that models the growth of Katie's business over time. What is the slope of the graph? What does it represent?

Larry mows 4 lawns and earns $24. He is paid the same amount of money for each lawn. Write and solve an equation to find how much Larry is paid to mow one lawn. You can draw a bar model to help you write and solve an equation that represents the problem.The equation 4p = 24 represents the problem. The equation is asking: What number could you multiply by 4 to get 24?

$$\begin{matrix} \text{p} & \text{p} & \text{p} & \text{p}\\ \text{ } & \text{4p = 24} & \text{ } & \text{ }\\ \end{matrix}$$

$4 \times 6=24$ Larry is paid $6 to mow one lawn. What does p represent in the example?

Shutterbug Cameras, a camera store, decided to establish a petty cash fund. On February 1 the accountant, Al Rosen, issued Check 1018 for $70 to establish the fund. The following disbursements were made. 1. In your working papers, record the entry to establish the petty cash fund on page 9 of a general journal. 2. Make a list of the paid petty cash vouchers. 3. Classify the petty cash disbursements by account. Calculate the total amount paid out for each account. 4. Prepare a petty cash requisition, signing your name as the petty cashier. On February 28 there was$1.50 in the petty cash box. 5. Record the entry in the general journal (page 11) to replenish the petty cash fund on February 28. Use Check 1191.
