Besides the Thematic Apperception Test, describe one other projective personality test.

An efficient algorithm for finding the optimal solution in a linear programming model is the:

In choosing the “best-fitting” line through a set of points in linear regression, we choose the one with the:

Determine the phase shift of the function. Choose the most correct answer. y = sin (πx + 5)

When most people stare at a blue square and then shift their eyes to a white surface, the afterimage of the square is:

Describe the Loftus and Palmer (1974) car crash study that examined the misinformation effect.  Indicate 1) what the procedure was and 2) what the findings were.  How did this study show the misinformation effect?

You must use the Graphical Equation Editor to input your responses, including all necessary supporting work.  Unsupported, or poorly supported, answers will not receive credit.  Partial credit may be given at the instructors discretion based on reasonably correct work shown. Convert the angle in radians to degrees. π radians

Suppose that you have generated 3 alternate multiple regression equations to explain the variations in a particular dependent variable. The regression output for each equation can be summarized as follows:                        Equation 1           Equation 2         Equation 3 No of Xs               4                              6                                9 R2                             0.76                        0.77                        0.79 Adjusted R2        0.75                        0.74                        0.73 Which one of these equations would you select as “best”?  Explain your choice

As discussed in the Fraser et. al paper, what are some example(s) of Control Beliefs that apply to small, Medium, and large sized businesses?

A building contains 1000 light bulbs. Each bulb lasts at most 5 months.  The company maintaining the building is trying to decide whether it is worthwhile to practice a group replacement policy where all bulbs are replaced every T months (T is yet to be determined).  Also bulbs are replaced as they burn out. Assume that it costs $0.05 to replace a bulb during a group replacement and $0.20 to replace each burned-out if it is replaced individually.  How would you use simulation to determine whether a group replacement policy is worthwhile?
