Global Airlines randomly chose 10 passengers from today's 9 a.m. Chicago-Tampa trip as part of their customer service programme. Each sampling traveller will be questioned on the services, amenities, and other aspects of the airport. Each passenger received a number when they boarded the aircraft in order to choose the sample. The range of numbers ranged from 001 to 250. Select 10 usable numbers at random using Appendix B.4.

Fowle Marketing Research, Inc., bases charges to a client on the assumption that telephone surveys can be completed in a mean time of 15 minutes or less. If a longer mean survey time is necessary, a premium rate is charged. A sample of 35 surveys provided the survey times shown in the file named Fowle. Based upon past studies, the population standard deviation is assumed known with $\sigma$ = 4 minutes. Is the premium rate justified?

What is the p-value?

ding to Global Research News (Mar. 4, 2014), one-fourth of all rough diamonds produced in the world are blood diamonds, i.e., diamonds mined to finance war or an insurgency. In a random sample of 700 rough diamonds purchased by a diamond buyer, let x be the number that are blood diamonds. Find the approximate probability that the number of the 700 rough diamonds that are blood diamonds is less than or equal to 200.

Based on the way it is used in this passage, what do you think is the closest synonym for arable? a. free b. dry c. infertile d. fertile Analysts disagree about whether the shift in agricultural locations due to global climate change will raise or lower global agricultural output. Because many nations in higher latitudes are more developed and are more equipped to have higher rates of productivity, more food ought to be produced. On the other hand, much of the arable land in these wealthier nations may have already been developed as urban areas, so some food-production potential may not be realized. If crops shift locations, poorer nations may become even weaker economically.The gap between rich and poor nations may grow even wider as developing nations become subject to even harsher environmental conditions for growing crops. However, these nations could make positive adaptations, such as increasing use of water-conserving irrigation techniques and cultivating crops that need less water.

Each of the following sentences contains nonstandard usage or sexist language. Correct each sentence by crossing out nonstandard or sexist language and writing revisions above the original sentence. You may add words by inserting a caret $(\, \hat{} \, )$ and writing the added words above the caret.

Example 1. If a student studies hard, he $(\, \hat{\text{or she}} \, )$ shill do better on the exam.

Salma is at the top of a cliff looking down at Rico’s boat. They both have Global Positioning System (GPS) devices and are communicating via cell phones. They determine that Rico’s boat is 5.0 km from a point on the shore directly below Salma, and 6.0 km from Salma herself. a) Draw a diagram to represent this situation and label the given information. b) Find the angle of depression at which Salma is viewing Rico’s boat. c) Find the height of the cliff.

(Refer to the previous exercise.) According to the IPCC, if present trends continue, future increases in average global temperatures (in ${ }^{\circ} \mathrm{F}$ ) can be modeled by

$$T(C)=6.489 \ln \frac{C}{280},$$

where $C$ is the concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide (in ppm). $C$ can be modeled by the function defined by

$$C(x)=353(1.006)^{x-1990},$$

where $x$ is the year.

Use graphing to estimate $x$ and $C(x)$ when $T(x)=10^{\circ} \mathrm{F}$.

the warming arctic affects us all

Arctic temperatures are rising twice as fast as the global average and receding sea ice threatens polar bears, walruses, and seals that exist nowhere else on earth and face an increased risk of extinction.

Global Services Company had the following transaction during the month of August:

$$\begin{array}{l} \text{Aug. 2. Issued Invoice No. 321 to Morgan Corp. for services rendered on account, \$425.}\\ \hspace{20pt}\text{3. Issued Invoice No. 322 to Mid States Inc. for services rendered on account, \$260.}\\ \hspace{20pt}\text{14. Issued Invoice No. 323 to Morgan Corp. for services rendered on account, \$350.}\\ \hspace{20pt}\text{22. Issued Invoice No.324 Rose Co. for services redered on account, \$690.}\\ \hspace{20pt}\text{28. Colleted Invoice No. 321 from Morgan Corp.}\\ \end{array}$$

a. Record the August revenue transactions for Global Services Company into the following revenure journal format:

$$\begin{array}{lccccccccc} &&&\textbf{REVENUE JOURNAL}\\ \hline &\textbf{Invoice}&&\textbf{Post.}&\textbf{Accts.Rec.Dr.}\\ \textbf{Date}&\textbf{No.}&\textbf{Account Debited.}&\textbf{Ref.}&\textbf{Fees Earned Cr.}\\ \hline\\ \hline \end{array}$$

(Refer to the example in the said section.) Using computer models, the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in $1990$ estimated $k$ to be $6.3$ in the radiative forcing equation

$$R=k \ln \dfrac{C}{C_0},$$

where $C_0$ is the preindustrial amount of carbon dioxide and $C$ is the current level.

Determine the global temperature increase $T$ predicted by the IPCC if the carbon dioxide levels were to double. (Hint: $T(R) = 1.03 R$.)

According to an article in the Economist, historian David Faure argued that the Chinese economy failed to grow rapidly during the nineteenth century because “familyrun companies could not raise sufficient capital to exploit the large-scale opportunities tied to the rise of the steam engine, notably railways and (with limited exceptions) global shipping and automated manufacturing.” How did the United States solve the problem of firms raising enough funds to operate railroads and other largescale businesses?

Approximate the slope of the graph of $T$. What does this slope represent?

Recessive maternal effect genes are identified in flies (for example) when a phenotypically normal mother cannot produce any normal offspring. Because all of the offspring are dead, this female fly cannot be used to produce a strain of heterozygous flies that could be used in future studies. How would you identify heterozygous individuals that are carrying a recessive maternal effect allele? How would you maintain this strain of flies in a laboratory over many generations?
