Residents of the city of Madison, Wisconsin, became concerned about overconsump- tion of liquor near the campus of the University of Wisconsin (UW). The city initiated a new policy, imposing conditions
on area bars to discourage reduced-price “specials” that were believed to encourage high-volume and dangerous drinking.
Later, the city began to draft an ordinance to ban all drink
specials. Bar owners responded by announcing that they had “voluntarily” agreed to discontinue drink specials on Friday
and Saturday nights after 8:00 p.m. The city put its ordinance on hold. Several UW students filed a lawsuit against the local bar owners’ association, alleging violations of antitrust law.

an argument on behalf of the plaintiffs.

Should ICANN’s actions be judged under the rule of reason or be deemed per se violations of Section 1 of the

A draftsman is asked to determine the amount of material required to produce a machine part. The diameters d of the part at equally spaced points x are listed in the table. The measurements are listed in centimeters.

Use the regression capabilities of a graphing utility to find a fourth-degree polynomial through the points representing the radius of the solid. Plot the data and graph the model.

The general manager of the Cleveland Indians baseball team is in the process of determining which minor-league players to draft. He is aware that his team needs home-run hitters and would like to find a way to predict the number of home runs a player will hit. Being an astute statistician, he gathers a random sample of players and records the number of home runs each player hit in his first two full years as a major-league player, the number of home runs he hit in his last full year in the minor leagues, his age, and the number of years of professional baseball. Test the model’s validity.

Proofread the following draft for punctuation errors. Write the underlined passages, inserting or deleting hyphens, apostrophes, dashes, and parentheses where necessary. If an underlined passage is correct, write Correct.

For centuries, people believed that comets $\underline{\text{heavenly bodies that move in large elliptical orbits about the sun}}$ were omens of catastrophe. Though the moon, the sun, and the stars were familiar, $\underline{\text{a comets characteristics}}$ were unknown. To some people, a comet's tail resembled a woman's unbound hair $\underline{\text{a traditional sign of mourning}}$. Others thought the tail resembled a sword an omen of death and war. Several historical documents point to massive chaos when a comet made $\underline{\text{it's appearance}}$.

Once you have finished drafting your comparison-and-contrast essay, answer the following questions. The words you choose make a difference in your writing. Which transitional words and phrases did you choose to clarify comparisons? Which did you choose to clarify contrasts?

Marion is using a drafting program to produce a drawing for a client. She wants to make a triangle first. She starts by sketching a line segment $4.2$ inches long connecting points $A$ and $B$. She then depicts a second section starting at point $B$ that is $6.4$ inches long, makes a $42^{\circ}$ angle with point $\overline{A B}$, and terminates at point $C$. How long is the segment from $C$ to $A$, to the closest tenth of an inch?

Football owners are constantly in competition for good players. The more wins, the more possible that the team will provide good business returns for the owners. The resources that each of the 32 teams has in the National Football League (NFL) vary, but the draft system is designed to counteract the advantages that wealthier teams may have. Is it working or does the size of the payroll matter? Here is the regression output for the 2012/2013 season between the team payroll and the number of wins.

$$\begin{array}{lllll}\text { Predictor } & \text{Coeff} & \text{ SE(Coeff) } & \text{ t-Value}& \text{ P-Value}\end{array}$$

$$\begin{array}{lllll}\text { Intercept } & -16.31846 & 8.49246 & -1.922 & 0.06421\end{array}$$

$$\begin{array}{lrrrr}\text{ Payroll(\$M) } & 0.21875 & 0.07636 & 2.865 & 0.00755\end{array}$$

$$s=2.779 \quad R-S q=21.48 \%$$

The cost of attending a major league baseball game in $2012$ has been summarized by the Fan Cost Index ($\mathrm{FCl}$), which according to its originators is the price of four adult average tickets, two small draft beers, four small soft drinks, four regular hot dogs, parking, two programs, and two caps. The $\mathrm{FCl}$ for several major league teams Including the top and bottom two) is shown in the table.

a. Because the $\mathrm{FCl}$ is given in dollars, is it really an index? Explain.

b. The FCI can be made into a true index by choosing the Major League average as a reference value. Write the above table with all values expressed as a percentage of the Major League average multiplied by $100$.
