Stateline Shipping and Transport Company Rachel Sundusky is the manager of the South-Atlantic office of the Stateline Shipping and Transport Company. She is in the process of negotiating a new shipping contract with Polychem, a company that manufactures chemicals for industrial use. Polychem want Stateline to pick up and transport waste products from its six plants to three waste disposal sites. Rachel is very concerned about this proposed arrangement. The chemical wastes that will be hauled can be hazardous to humans and the environment if they leak. In addition, a number of towns and communities in the region where the plants are located prohibit hazardous materials from being shipped through their municipal limits. Thus, not only will the shipments have to be handled carefully and transported at reduced speeds, they will also have to traverse circuitous routes in many cases. Rachel has estimated the cost of shipping a barrel of waste from each of the six plants to each of the three waste disposal sites as shown in the following table: Waste Disposal Site Plant Whitewater Los Canos Duras Kingsport $12 $15 $17 Danville 14 9 10 Macon 13 20 11 Selma 17 16 19 Columbus 7 14 12 Allentown 22 16 18 The plants generate the following amounts of waste products each week: Plant Waste per Week (bbl) Kingsport 35 Danville 26 Macon 42 Selma 53 Columbus 29 Allentown 38 The three waste disposal sites at Whitewater, Los Canos, and Duras can accommodate a maximum of 65, 80, and 105 barrels per week respectively. In addition to shipping directly from each of the six plants to one of the three waste disposal sites, Rachel is also considering using each of the plants and waste disposal sites as intermediate shipping points. Trucks would be able to drop a load at a plant or disposal site to be picked up and carried on to the final destination by another truck, and vice versa. Stateline would not incur any handling costs because Polychem has agreed to take care of all local handling of the waste materials at the plants and the waste disposal sites. In other words, the only cost Stateline incurs is the actual transportation cost. So Rachel wants to be able to consider the possibility that it may be cheaper to drop and pick up loads at intermediate points rather than ship them directly. Rachel estimates the shipping costs per barrel between each of the six plants to be as follows: Plant Plant Kingsport Danville Macon Selma Columbus Allentown Kingsport $ __ $6 $4 $9 $7 $8 Danville 6 __ 11 10 12 7 Macon 5 11 __ 3 7 15 Selma 9 10 3 __ 3 16 Columbus 7 12 7 3 __ 14 Allentown 8 7 15 16 14 __ The e.

STAT 3300 Homework #6 Due Thursday, 03/28/2019 Note: Answer these questions on a separate piece of paper. In the top right corner, include your name, SMU ID, and course number. Please include a title for the assignment so that it is clear to the graders. If you miss class the day the assignment is turned in, submit this before class in order to receive credit. Question 1 (25 points total) Kiplinger’s “Best Values in Public Colleges” provides a ranking of U.S. public colleges based on a combination of various measures of academics and affordability. The dataset “EX11-18BESTVAL.csv” includes a sample of 25 colleges from Kiplinger’s 2015 report. Let’s focus on the relationship between the average debt in dollars at graduation (AveDebt, the response variable) and the explanatory variables Admit (admission rate), GradRate (graduation rate), InCostAid (in-state cost per year after need-based aid), and OutCostAid (out-state cost per year after need-based aid). a) (2 points) Write out the statistical model for this analysis, making sure to specify all assumptions. b) (3 points) Run the multiple regression model in R and report the fitted regression equation. c) (5 points) State the null and alternative hypothesis for the overall F test, report the overall F statistic, its degrees of freedom, and the p-value. What do you conclude based on this test result? d) (2 points) Obtain the residuals from part (b), construct a residual plot of residuals against the predicted outcome ŷ, and check assumptions. Is Baruch College an unusual case? Provide a brief summary. e) (3 points) Run the same multiple regression model but this time without Baruch College, and specify the fitted regression equation. Again comment on the residuals (i.e., construct a residual plot of residuals against the predicted outcome ŷ and check assumptions). f) (5 points) For the model in part (e) (i.e., the multiple regression model without Baruch College), report the overall F statistic, its degrees of freedom, and the p-value. What do you conclude based on this test result? g) (5 points) For the model in part (e) that included all p = 4 explanatory variables, only InCostAid is found significant using the individual parameter t tests. This raises the question whether these other three variables further contribute to the prediction of average debt given in-state cost is in the model. Conduct a partial F test to answer this question. 1 Question 1 (25 points total) Learning Objectives After studying this chapter, you should be able to accomplish the following objectives: ▪ Describe the philosophical shift that has occurred in reducing juvenile delinquency. ▪ Summarize the importance of prevention and treatment. ▪ Explain the principles of effective intervention. ▪ Explain how need factors contribute to risk for delinquent behavior. ▪ Describe each generation of risk and need assessment tools. ▪ Explain the significance of responsivity factors with regard to treatment..

State and major urban area fusion centers serve as focal points within the state and local environment for the receipt, analysis, gathering, and sharing of threat-related information between the federal government and state, local, tribal, territorial (SLTT), and private sector partners. There are issues and concerns related to intelligence collection methods at some of the country's local law enforcement agencies, joint terrorism task groups, and fusion centers. The first issue relates to constitutional limitations. Constitutional limitations restrict the government’s ability to access private information. The Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution is particularly relevant. To the extent that government activity burdens individuals’ freedom of speech and related rights, the First Amendment may also play a role. Another issue is related to the process of collecting and sharing the information, which in many cases is not standardized, creating potential holes in the way officials exchange information on terror threats. 1. Briefly describe the six-step intelligence cycle. 2. What are some potential problems with collecting intelligence within the United States? 3. Give some examples of fusion centers and how these centers fuse intelligence at the local, state, and federal levels. 1. What is DHS’s Intelligence role in Homeland Security? 2. What are the roles of the National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC) and FBI for national intelligence? How do these roles benefit DHS? .

Starting from the European Monetary System in 1979, Europe embarked on a process that led to the Maastricht Treaty of 1992 and the creation of a common European currency, the euro. A common currency among different countries is something relatively new that has been attempted only a few times in history before (e.g., the West African CFA franc, the Central African CFA franc, and the Eastern Caribbean dollar). What are the advantages brought about by the euro to the countries that belong to the Eurozone? What are the challenges? Do you think this currency union is sustainable and will be successful going forward? Why? Why not? .

Starving for Diversity: Ideological Implications of Race Representations in The Hunger Games ELLEN E. MOORE A N D CATHERINE COLEMAN Introduction I N MARCH 2012, THE FILM THE HUNGER GAMES WAS RELEASED IN US theaters by independent film studio Lions Gate in the third-largest US film premiere in history (Bowles). The film —about a young girl’s life-or-death struggles in a dystopian world—is based on the first book in a series by author Suzanne Collins that remained in the top ten of the New York Times’s “Children’s Series” best sellers list for more than four years. Aimed at young adults, the film drew in the same young, largely female audience who were fans of the Twilight film series1 (Bowles). Although the movie was a box office hit, a controversy erupted when it hit theaters: many young The Hunger Games fans who had read the book prior to seeing the film were shocked to find African-American actors cast in some of the supporting roles. Fans seemed particularly upset with a black actor playing the supporting character “Rue,” and took to Twitter to express a range of emotions, including surprise, disappointment, and enmity. The tweets are in sharp contrast to a society that increasingly tries to identify itself as “postracial,” typically defined as moving away from evaluative considerations of skin tone and ethnic iden- tity (Thornton 425). As such, they invite comment beyond the The Journal of Popular Culture, Vol. 48, No. 5, 2015 © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. 948 facile conclusion that this is an isolated occurrence fueled by a few uneducated individuals. On the contrary, this event is a result of more systemic issues, which becomes apparent when the Games’ controversy is situated within overlapping contexts that highlight the complex relationship between race and commercial media. First, the controversy transpires within emerging discussions of the United States as a “postracial” society. Although polls have shown that the election of the first black US president has not changed racial attitudes significantly (Dowe), discussions of what it means to be postracial have been increasing in American news media, popular press, and academia (Wise; Kaplan; McElroy; Wenner). The importance of these conversations is underscored by the fact that almost all of the tweets came from young individuals (Anderson), throwing into doubt the belief that newer generations represent the vanguard of a “color blind” society. The Hunger Games Controversy: Fans’ Reaction to Race Representations In both book and film format, The Hunger Games is a multilayered cri- tique of power and conflict. On a manifest level, the story is about a girl who fights with twenty-three other young people in a televised battle to the death, mandated by her government as a way to control a formerly revolutionary populace. Like most media texts, however, The Hunger Games contains deeper connotations, including criticisms of the Iraq War (Valby) and the hegemony of totalit.
