Some reflexes are innate (inborn) – such as pulling your hand away from a hot stove before touching it.

The resting membrane potential of a neuron is positively charged on the outside of the membrane and negatively charged on the inside, making it polarized.  The resting state occurs at -55 mV.

Which of the following is NOT a division of the peripheral nervous system?

There are ____ pairs of cranial nerves and ____ pairs of spinal nerves.

In an action potential, the current that flows down the axon of a neuron is generated by the movement of __________ across the membrane.

Myelinated neurons make up the white matter of spinal cord and brain, and the unmyelinated neurons make up the gray matter.

The “All or None Law” is a principle stating that a nerve impulse will always occur if the stimulus is strong enough.

Find the work done by the force field     to move an object along the curve

Question 4: Bike Data – Prediction (4a) 2 pts – Predict bikes for the test set (bike_data_test) using model1. Display the first six predicted values. (4b) 2.5 pts – Calculate and display the mean squared prediction error (MSPE) for model1. List one limitation of using this metric to evaluate prediction accuracy. (4c) 1 pt – Refit model1 on bike_data_full, and call it model2. Display the summary table for the model. (4c.1) 3 pts – Estimate the 10-fold and leave-one-out cross validation mean prediction squared error (MSPE) for model2. Display these values. Hint: cv.glm() from the boot package uses MSPE as the default cost function. (4c.2) 1 pt – How do these two MSPEs compare to the model1 MSPE from 4b? 

For Xiaomi, positioning with a right pricing strategy is critical given its relatively latecomer status. Especially, understanding the concept and factors of price elasticity in the market is critical in developing a successful pricing strategy.   Please define price elasticity. (4 points) Please discuss at least five factors that decrease price elasticity (or consumer price sensitivity) in general and briefly describe what they are. (10 points)
