Name the character: This character muses on the naturalistic view of the absurdity of the human condition. Nature is completely indifferent to the existence of human beings, who have no importance in the universe as this character recognizes when he faces drowning in the Atlantic Ocean.  

Name the author: Ironically, this white Southerner who had served in the Confederate Army and whose family was slaveholders was an advocate of extending full rights as citizens to freed slaves after the Civil War. Freed ex-slaves faced partial rights as citizens as late as 1885, twenty years after the slaves were freed. His essay spoke for equal treatment for freed slaves and all black citizens. He upset Southerners enough that he moved out of the South.  

Name the speaker:  If I am going to be drowned—if I am going to be drowned—if I am going to be drowned, why, in the name of the seven mad gods who rule the sea, was I allowed to come thus far and contemplate sand and trees?… When it occurs to a man that nature does not regard him as important, and that she feels she would not maim the universe by disposing of him, he at first wishes to throw bricks at the temple, and he hates deeply the fact that there are no bricks and no temples.

Name the title where the following are found: a small boat, a life-saving station in the distance, high waves on the ocean, one oar  

If the population distribution is $4,000, what is the probability the sample mean calculated using a simple random sample of size 100 will be within $500 of the population mean (μ = $71,800)? Refer to the following formula and tables. σ x   =   σ n z = x – μ σ x standardnormaltable fro0.0to2.09.png Normal standard distribution table.png

If the population proportion is 0.6, what is the proportion of obtaining a value of  that is within 0.05 of the population proportion (p) of the MSSU students participating in the ethical training program? (Sample size is 100.) Refer to the following formula and tables. σ p   =   p ( 1 – p ) n z = p – p σ p standardnormaltable fro0.0to2.09.png Normal standard distribution table.png

The school’s newspaper reported that the proportion of students majoring in business is at least 30%. You plan on taking a sample to test the newspaper’s claim. The correct set of hypotheses is ____________________________________.

A Type I error is committed when ________________________________________________________________.

The standard deviation of x is referred to as the ___________________________.
