1. Read the press release “Volkswagen‐announces‐a‐cash‐offer.” What was the price before the announcement for A and B shares and what is the offered price. Estimate the “merger premium,” and compare this with “deal spread.” 2. Merger event risk. Volkswagen’s offer to purchase all outstanding Scania shares comes with six conditions. a. For each of these conditions give your subjective estimate of the probability of the condition being met or waived. What is the probability of the transaction being completed? b. If you worked for an event‐driven investment manager and had more time and resources, what kind of information or research do you think is most valuable in this type of merger?2. Merger event risk.

2. (Textbook 2.19, modified) We repeatedly toss a coin. A head has probability $p$, and a tail probability $1 - p$ to occur, where $0 < p < 1$. The outcome of the experiment we are interested in is the number of tosses it takes until a head occurs for the second time. (a) What would you choose as the sample space? (b) What is the probability that it takes exactly 5 tosses?

The alpha process (or alpha capture) is the process where a large nucleus fuses with Helium to form a slightly heavier element. Carbon can do this in the following reaction, when it captures Helium and turns into Oxygen: [Recall: with ] Note that this is slightly different from fusion reactions we have studied before because the starting “fuel” is made of different types of elements, but don’t let that worry you, the analysis proceeds logically the same. 1. How much energy is produced in a single reaction of the above Carbon-alpha-capture?

Dr. Roberts was interested in whether runaway adolescents between 12 and 18 years of age are more likely to drop out of school than the general population of adolescents. In the general population of adolescents 12 to 18, 6% drop out of school. In a random sample of 90 runaway adolescents, 15 dropped out of school. Perform a statistical test to determine whether runaway adolescents are more likely to drop out of school than the general population of adolescents. Show your work. What is the null hypothesis? What is the alternative hypothesis? What is the critical value of the test statistic? What do you conclude?

Texts: Biology 30 Lab Report Name: Rutyush Patial Partner: Laoabe Date: 24-03-23 Lab Activity - Analysis of Monohybrid Crosses Lab Introduction to Genetic Models Using Corn, Zea mays When Mendel crossed peas, he found phenotypic ratios remarkably close to those predicted by his model of inheritance. However, remember that the laws of heredity (a genetic model) predict the probabilities of certain combinations of genetic traits occurring in offspring. In real unions of egg and sperm, we don't expect to see ratios that correspond exactly to the probabilities predicted by a model. In this lab, we will work with probabilities of phenotypic classes in corn. The phenotypic classes we will examine are traits related to kernel shape and color. The color phenotype of maize (corn) kernels usually depends on the pigmentation of the aleurone (a layer of cells between the endosperm [central tissue] and the pericarp [seed coat] covering). If the color is colorless, then the kernel appears to be the color of the underlying endosperm.

A 15,000 kg truck moving at 6 m/s collides into the rear of a 2,000 kg car which is at rest. The collision occurs just after the light turns green, and the driver of the car has their foot off the brake pedal. After this inelastic collision they move together as one in the same direction. At what speed will they be moving?
