Ryan is a 12 year old diagnosed with Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD). As a small child, Ryan was first diagnosed with Attention Deficit, Hyperactivity Disorder. He had just started preschool and was unable to remain in one place for more than a minute or two. His parents had already had a very difficult time in disciplining him, because he would become very upset and throw temper tantrums when he could not do as he wished. He just seemed to be an unhappy, irritable child. This behavior continued in school. As time progressed, Ryan was diagnosed with Oppositional Defiant Disorder, because he continued to refuse to listen to adults and comply with the rules.

By the age of 12, he has begun to bully and annoy others. His parents have decided that the approaches they have used in the past are not working, and they are more afraid his behavior will only get worse.

Write a 6‐8 page (maximum) essay on ONE of the following topics
(1) Cover Versions
The contemporary image of a barbershop quartet is a group of white men dressed in turn‐of‐the‐century
clothes. The roots of the style, however, lay in African American barbershops of the late nineteenth
century. Barbering was a low‐status occupation performed by European immigrants and African
Americans. In the black community, barbershops often served as hubs of social and musical activities, and
the close harmonies and performance styles of the barbershop quartet style developed in this milieu. The
early recording industry contributed to the racial shift from black to white barbershop quartets by
recording primarily white barbershop groups. Once barbershop became popular in the 1930s, it was
promoted by an organization called the SPEBSQSA (Society for the Preservation of Barbershop Quartet
Singing in America). The group, like many other male fraternal organizations before the Civil Rights era,
admitted only white members; over time, the shift of barbershop from a black to a white art form became
complete., This regrettable pattern of appropriation was and continues to be found in almost every arena
of music‐making in the United States.
Discuss the cover version phenomenon as it relates to the major record companies in the 1950s. Be sure
to address the financial ramifications endured by African American artists by placing the practice within
the segregationist context of the time. Suggest “Sh’ Boom” The Chords (1954) and The Crew Cuts (1954)
as a case study.

(2) The Music of the Beatles
“From the word go we decided we shouldn’t make formula things, we should try to be as different as
possible…plan was to have a single every three months and an album twice a year…as soon as the Beatles
realized their creative abilities in the studio, they got hooked on this thing of really building something
new each time….For my part, I felt it [Sgt. Pepper’s] was the album which turned the Beatles from just an
ordinary rock band into being significant contributors to the history of artistic performance. It was the
turning‐point. It was the watershed which changed the recording art from something that made amusing
sounds into something which will stand the test of time as a valid art form: sculpture in music if you like”
(Martin 1979).
Write an essay on the music of the Beatles. Your discussion will provide a brief historical survey of the
context of the British Invasion, and will detail the transformation which occurred in their musical style
during the early‐ to mid‐1960s: suggest “Love Me Do” (1962) and “Tomorrow Never Knows” (1966) as a
case study.

1. For the following data find the linear trend (the equation). Then improve the trend by first taking 3 yearly and then 5 yearly moving averages (Specify R² values for the 3 scenarios). Also predict the revenue for the year 2015 considering the random fluctuations using both additive and multiplicative model.

2+2+2+(2+2) = 10

2. (a) Establish an MLR model to predict Infant Mortality based on the given data considering adult literacy %, finishing primary school % and GNP per capita. Find which of these predictors are not significant at 5% significance level (give reason).

3+2 = 5

(b) Drop that predictor and run MLR again. Write the predictive model again. Could you improve the prediction? Explain in terms of standard error and adjusted R²

3+2 = 5

3. Run all kinds of regression possible to predict the revenue for 2019 and list down the equations. Write the best-fit regression equation giving the reason why it is best-fit. Then predict the revenue for 2019.

5+2+3 = 10

4. The file xls contains the annual incomes of a representative sample of people in the years 1975, 1985, 1995 and 2005 of USA.
   1. What is the sample size?
   2. How does the average income change over time?
   3. Which income should represent the sample and why?
   4. Which year shows more variability in income? Why do you think so?
   5. Which year’s income is most asymmetrical? Give reason.
   6. Find the pairs of years, the income of which varied directly.

1+1+2+2+2+2 = 10

5. Develop a frequency distribution table for the incomes of 2005 with 10 classes and draw a histogram on separate tabs of Incomedata.xls. Which one is the modal class and why?
