Checking only whether the sum of residuals is zero is not sufficient to determine if a linear regression model is appropriate. While the sum of residuals will always equal zero, one should also examine the residual plot for any patterns, as a pattern would indicate that a linear model is not appropriate for the data.

Do you agree with the following statement? "Checking whether the sum of residuals is zero is
sufficient to conclude that a linear regression model is appropriate."
A. No, the sum of residuals will always add to zero. One should also check the residual plot. If
there is a pattern in the residual plot, it indicates that a linear regression model is NOT
appropriate.
B. Yes. In fact, examining only the scatterplot of Y vs. X is sufficient to conclude that a linear
regression model is appropriate.
C. Yes, the sum of residuals equating to zero confirms appropriateness of a linear regression
model.
D. No, the sum of residuals will never add to zero. It is either +1 or ?1.
Solution
C. No, the sum of residuals will always add to zero. One should also check the
residual plot. If there is a pattern in the residual plot, it indicates that a linear regression model is
NOT appropriate.

Do memes have a moral component that we should consider and which may make them socially dangerous or morally unacceptable? Explain. Please list reference, please no copy and paste. Thank you. Solution Risk is a concept with multiple meanings and is ideologically loaded. The author reviews the literature on risk perception and risk as a sociocultural construct, with particular reference to the domain of public health. Pertinent examples of the political and moral function of risk discourse in public health are given. The author concludes that risk discourse is often used to blame the victim, to displace the real reasons for ill-health upon the individual, and to express outrage at behavior deemed socially unacceptable, thereby exerting control over the body politic as well as the body corporeal. Risk discourse is redolent with the ideologies of mortality, danger, and divine retribution. Risk, as it is used in modern society, therefore cannot be considered a neutral term..

Do Bill Easterly and Jeff Sachs agree or disagree over the impact of imperialism and colonialism in the past on the situation in poor countries today? Be sure to explain both positions. Which position is more persuasive? Why? Explain. Solution Bill Easterly- As an employee of the World Bank for sixteen years, William Easterly became very familiar with the systems of foreign aid. His familiarity bred disillusionment with international institutions and how they distribute aid donated by wealthy, western nations. According to Bill Easterly agress a mediocre argument against foreign aid used as a tool for modern imperialism. Though he concedes early on that.

Divide and write the quotient as a mixed number: 16/5 I don\'t get it. Solution A fraction is basically a division problem. Think about 1/4. This fraction represents 1 whole divided into 4 pieces. So, in this problem, the first step is to divide 16 by 5. It will go in 3 times, with a remainder of 1. The problem says the answer must be in the form of a mixed number -- that is, a whole number and a fraction. The remainder in division can be expressed as a fraction: remainder/divisor. In this case, the remainder is 1/5. So, the answer is 3 1/5..

Does stagflation contradict the theory of the Phillips curve? Solution Stagflation is the situation in an economy which experiences high inflation accompanied by high unemployment. Philips curve explains the trade off between inflation and unemployment. According to Philips curve, if the inflation rate in the economy increased, then the unemployment would fall, thereby, having an inverse relationship. However, stagflation contradicts the theory as it leads to an impossible Philips curve..

Distinguish between Mesosphere and themosphere . Solution A layer within the Earth\'s atmosphere that extends from about 50to 85 km (31 to 53 mi) above the surface. The mesosphere ispredominantly characterized by its thermal structure. On average,mesospheric temperature decreases with increasing height. Temperatures range from as high as 12°C (53°F) at thebottom of the mesosphere to as low as 133°C(208°F) at its top. The top of the mesosphere, calledthe mesopause is the coldest area of the Earth\'s atmosphere.Temperature increases with increasing altitude above the mesopausein the layer known as the thermosphere, which absorbs the Sun\'sextreme ultraviolet radiation. In the stratosphere, the atmosphericlayer immediately below the mesosphere, the temperature alsoincreases with height. The stratosphere is where ozone, which alsoabsorbs ultraviolet radiation from the Sun, is most abundant. Thetransition zone between the mesosphere and the stratosphere iscalled the stratopause. Mesospheric temperatures are comparativelycold because very little solar radiation is absorbed in this layer.Meteorologists who predict weather conditions or study the lowestlevel of the Earth\'s atmosphere, the troposphere, often refer tothe stratosphere, mesosphere, and thermosphere collectively as theupper atmosphere. However, scientists who study these layersdistinguish between them; they also refer to the stratosphere andmesosphere as the middle atmosphere. In the lower part of the mesosphere, the difference between thetemperature at the summer and winter poles is of order 35°C(63°F). This large temperature gradient produces thenorth-south or meridional winds that blow from summer to winter.Temperatures in the upper mesosphere are colder in summer andwarmer in winter, resulting in return meridional flow from thesummer to the winter hemisphere. Although the temperature gradientin the upper part of the mesosphere remains large, additionalcomplications result in wind speeds that are much slower than theyare in the lower part of the mesosphere. Winds in the east-west orzonal direction are greatest at mesospheric middle latitudes. Zonalwinds blow toward the west in summer and toward the east in winter.Like their meridional counterparts, zonal winds are comparativelystrong near the bottom of the mesosphere and comparatively weaknear the top. Thus, on average both temperature and wind speeddecrease with increasing height in the mesosphere. Meteors which enter the Earth\'s atmosphere vaporize in the uppermesosphere. These meteors contain significant amounts of metallicatoms and molecules which may ionize. Metallic ions combined withionized water clusters make up a large part of the D-regionionosphere that is embedded in the upper mesosphere. The upper mesosphere is also where iridescent blue clouds can beseen with the naked eye and photographed in twilight at high summerlatitudes when the Sun lights them up in the otherwise darkeningsky. These clouds are called noctilucent cl.

Does a multi-step Income Statement include things such as: Cash, Accounts Receivable, Inventory, Owner Capital, Intrest Revenue, and Owner Withdrawl? If so which ones and where would they be found? Solution A multi step income statement segregate operating and non operating results. It also shows gross profit seperatly. In the given question Inventory and Interest revenue are the part of multi income statement. In multi step income statement first step is calculation of gross profit ie. Sales - Cost of goods sold Cost of goods sold = Opening inventory+Purrchase + Direct expense - closing stock In second step we deduct all opertaing expenses from gross profit to arrive at operating profit In third step we add and deduct all non operating income and non operating expense respectively to arrive at Net income. Here in this third we add interst revenue to arrive at net income All other items doesnot have any role in the prepration of multi purpose financial statement. Items like cash, receivable, capital etc will reflect only in statement of financial position.

Do you support higher minimum wages? Briefly discuss. Solution In recent months, a number of states have again taken the lead on measures to raise the minimum wage. Massachusetts is moving toward a minimum of $10 per hour. Other measures are on the table in New York, Illinois, New Jersey, Connecticut and Missouri. Meanwhile Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, is pressing for the federal minimum wage to rise to $9.80 per hour by 2014. This is far more sensible policy than symbolic nods to the left through gimmicks such as the so- called Buffett Rule, which might raise new revenues from the mega-wealthy through taxes, but will likely amount to very little because gazillionaires can hire clever accountants to help them get around it. No, we need policies that clearly do something for hard-working people who have been clobbered by a financial crisis they didn\'t create. Here are five reasons why we should cheer for working America getting a raise. 1. Good for Families: According to economist James Galbraith, raising the minimum wage would raise the incomes of 28 million Americans. Women would particularly benefit because they tend to work for lower wages than men. As Galbraith sees it, raising the minimum wage is family friendly policy: “With more family income, some people would choose to retire, go back to school, or have children, making it easier for others who need jobs to find them. Working families would have more time for community life, including politics; Americans would start to reclaim the middle- class political organization that they once had. Because payroll- and income-tax revenues would rise, the federal deficit would come down. Social Security worries would fade.” 2. Good for Economic Recovery: To get the economy back on track, spending power has to be in the hands of those who actually spend in the real economy. That means regular people, not the super-wealthy who tend to hoard wealth or invest in financial products. The minimum wage story is not just a story about income inequality, but rather it’s about an elite that has hijacked the economic system and made it work less productively than before while redistributing more of what is working to themselves. The problem with our economy today is that the growing gap between the real wages and productivity has violated the traditional relationship between real wages and consumption. So if the productivity of each worker is rising strongly, yet that worker’s capacity to purchase (the real wage) is lagging badly behind – how does economic recovery which relies on growth in spending sustain itself? Which is why policy should be more directed toward programs that increase the minimum wage and less of discredited neoliberal “trickle-down” economics. Trickle-down economics is largely counterproductive because it shifts more resources into the hands of those who have less propensity to spend and keep the economy moving. 3. Helps People Get Out of Debt: During the early part of the post-war period, .

Do you believe that Bernard Madoff worked alone, or do you think he had help in creating and sustaining his Ponzi scheme? Would this represent a conflict of interest? Solution (Dear Client, as I didn\'t have the case study, I picked up the case online) I do not believe that Madoff worked alone. There were family members that worked with Madoff and whether knowingly or unknowingly, worked to keep this fraud going as long as itdid. Madoff’s brother Peter and even Madoff’s sons were involved in day to day operations athis firm and his wife did the social networking to attract celebrities and other investors to openaccounts in the firm. Information regarding the involvement of other employees in the firm hascaused further investigations of two former back-office employees, two computer programmersand former Chief Operating Officer Daniel Bonventre (Strumpf, 2012). Certainly the involvement of these individuals would represent a conflict of interest..
