If you have a system with equally spaced non-degenerate energy levels, qualitatively how will the partition function, , change if you increase the temperature with a fixed spacing between the energy levels?

A child’s exposure to cigarette smoking, attendance at day care, and bottle propping are risk factors for which of the following conditions?

A 60 year old diabetic patient presents to the clinic with what he describes as “floaters”  and flashes of light.  Which differential belongs at the top of the list of differentials and needs an immediate referral?

Let’s assume the simplest linear regression model with a lagged dependent variable as follows:

Please match the description with the correct answer. Hint: Strict exogeneity is stronger than exogeneity assumption and is more likely to be violated.  An implication of weakly dependent time series is that the correlation between xt  and xt+h is almost must converge to zero if h grows to infinity. For the law of large number (LLM) and the central limit theorem (CLT) to hold, the individual observations must not be too strongly related to each other; in particular their relation must become weaker (and this fast enough) the farther they are apart.

Choose the sentence that best expresses the implied main idea of the paragraph below. When Attila the Hun and his barbarian hordes swept across northern Italy in about 430 CE., they wrought havoc and destruction on the remnants of the Roman Empire. But they unintentionally left another, more positive legacy as well. Refugees fled burning cities, desperate to find safe refuge. Some literally took to the swamps, finding sanctuary in a desolate group of islands in a marshy lagoon off the northern Adriatic. When the Huns were followed by other invading tribes, more Roman citizens streamed to the swamps to avoid the carnage and destruction on the mainland. Over the next few centuries, they transformed the inhospitable surroundings into an architectural wonder: Venice. With more than four hundred bridges and almost two hundred canals, the city on the lagoon became a center of trade and a seafaring power. By the 1200s, Venice was the most prosperous city in all of Europe. Today it remains one of the most beautiful (and most visited) cities in the world.
