, explain how this would affect General Motors demand for labor and capital, and the level of cars produced.

Derived demand for capital and labor: Cost minimization General Motors produces cars by using labor and capital. The production function for cars can be expressed as: Q = 10K0.4L0.6 General Motors can rent its equipment and hire workers at competitive rates. Equipment needed for this operation can be rented at $30 per hour, and labor can be hired at $8 per worker hour. General Motors has allocated $100,000 for the initial run of car production. Where Q represents number of cars produced, K denotes capital input (units per hour), and L denotes labor input (units of worker time per hour). The marginal products of labor and capital are as follows: MPL = (0.6)(10)K0.4L-0.4 MPK = (0.4)(10)K-0.6L0.6 a. Using cost minimization determine the appropriate input mix (L, K, values in the long run) to get the greatest output for an expense of $100,000 for a production run of cars. Also, compute the level of output. b. Suppose that the government imposes a $1 tax per hour worked. All else equal, explain how this would affect General Motors demand for labor and capital, and the level of cars produced.

Consider a perfectly competitive market described by the demand function P = 60 – 0.3Q and supply function P = 10 + 0.2Q. Using the standard formula (versus the mid-point formula) for calculating elasticities, it may be concluded that at the equilibrium price and quantity:

When you flip 20 coins, how many do you expect to land heads up, and what sort of distribution would you expect to see if you made a histogram of your results after many such experiments?

When you flip 20 coins, how many do you expect to land heads up, and what sort of distribution would you expect to see if you made a histogram of your results after many such experiments?

QUESTION 1
Watch the video and answer the question listed below.
cWhen you flip 20 coins, how many do you expect to land heads up, and what sort of distribution would you expect to see if you made a histogram of your results after many such experiments?

(A) It is expected to see 20 heads and the distribution would have a symmetric bell shape.
(B) It is expected to see 10 heads and the distribution would be equally spread across all possibilities from 0 to 20.
(C) It is expected to see 10 heads and the distribution would have a symmetric bell shape.
(D) Since coin tosses are random, there is insufficient information to answer this question.

QUESTIO 2
Watch the video and answer the question listed below.
Would you expect weights of people to be spread out equally across a population, say with an equal number looking like jockeys and linebackers and everything in between?

(A) No, because most folks are near some average weight, with only a few extremely light or extremely heavy. The distribution would be more bell shaped.
(B) No, because until the whole population is checked, this question cannot be answered.
(C) Yes, because data, like weights of people, are spread out equally in the population.
(D) Yes, because an equal distribution describes a bell shaped distribution.

QUESTION 3
Watch the video and answer the question listed below.

Why does Dr. Vickers argue that many natural events end up looking like the Normal distribution?
(A) Because events are random and the Normal model describes random events.
(B) Because he said so.
(C) Because most natural events can be thought of as adding up a large number of random events (licoin flips).
(D) It does not matter whether the events have distributions that look like the Normal model because the Normal model can be used no matter what.

QUESTION 4
Watch the video and answer the question listed below.
Dr. Vickers says that researchers check the effectiveness of a new drug for weight loss by _______.

(A) asking people how they felt about the drug and their body image
(B) comparing study results with coin flips.
(C) seeing if people lost weight.

QUESTION 5
Watch the video and answer the question listed below.
In what way is the distribution of Dr. Vickers’ math test results (the 27 divided by ÷12 question) similar to the distribution of cancer cell counts that he showed?

(A) The distribution is not symmetric.
(B) Each distribution has a few individuals far out right with math scores (or cancer cell counts) far higher than the others.
(C) The underlying data process for both is multiplicative.

QUESTION 6
Watch the video and answer the question listed below
If the underlying data process is additive (like coin flipping), what should the distribution of data end up looking like?

(A) Uniform
(B) Skewed to the right
(C) Normal
(D) It is impossible to say because all data will be different.

QUESTION 7
Watch the video and answer the question listed below
Which one of the following statements is NOT one of the three main points Dr. Vickers makes at the end of this video?

(A) If you add up a number of processes, you get a Normal distribution; if you multiply them together, you get a skewed distribution
(B) With some kind of statistics, like medical statistics, processes are not additive, so you don’t see Normal distributions too often.
(C) It is impossible to predict what the distribution of data will look like even if you understand the underlying data process.
(D) Looking at the shape of a distribution tells you a little about what is going on in the real world.

Length:
1,000 words
You can undertake the assignment in a group of 3 students
Assignment topic: Selection of project for Major Assignment
Description: Select a development application that has been determined (ie, approved, refused or abandoned) and explain the main areas of controversy involved. It is best to select an application that was problematic or controversial in some way. It could be an application that was determined in the Land and Environment Court in the New South Wales.
It is recommended that you select a project from your local area. You should avoid “mega-projects”. The sheer size of the documentation will limit your ability to provide a coherent description of the DA in the major assignment. For instance, State Significant projects, like a new hospital, are difficult to describe in 3,000 words in the major assignment. Alternatively, a smaller project like an awning or a garage may not contain sufficient content for your final assignment (2,000 words).
You may use private sources such as work, family and friends to find a project. Alternately you may select a project via reports in the local media or on the internet. You can use only publicly available information and are not to infringe the privacy of anyone involved in the selected project. Make sure that you do not use any material that is Commercial-in-Confidence or matters that are currently before the courts (Subjudice).
Content: Explain briefly the nature of the project that you intend to study and why you have chosen it. What do you hope to learn from studying this project?
As a guide, your submission should include the following:
1)  Zoning of the site (Permissibility):
2)  Any relevant Local Environmental Plans:
3)  Any potential State Environmental Planning Policies or Regional Environmental Plans
(applicable to the site):
4)  Any relevant Development Control Plans and Council Policies (applicable to the determined
Development Application).
5)  Any interests of public authorities (eg. Sydney Water, etc.) in this development
You are expected to list specific clauses of each of the planning instruments and discuss their relationship to the proposed development.

Psychological tests are often standardized. This means the administration is consistent, and test administrators can use published norms to score the results (i.e., an individual’s results can be compared to the normative data, which represents the population as a whole, and that individual’s scores can be summarized and reported in terms of how they compare to the population from which the normative data was collected).

An example often used in psychology textbooks is the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS), often referred to as an IQ test. The WAIS has a normative mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15 points. Any person’s score on the WAIS can be summarized in various ways, for example, as the distance from the mean, or in terms of quartiles or percentiles.

Use the Assessment Psychology Online website, or conduct an Internet search to identify another behaviorally oriented standardized test (i.e., not the WAIS), and respond to the following:

1. Start with a general description of the instrument, including who developed it, its intended purpose, and how it is administered. (3 points)

–Answer below:

2. Describe the normative data (i.e., the mean, standard deviation, and any other relevant parameters). (3 points)
