Given that labor is a resource that needs to be used efficiently, what responsibility do you feel the government has in decreasing unemployment? Does the negative relationship between inflation and unemployment have any impact on your decision?

When you develop a research project, you need to have a reliable and valid method of measurement in your study. Using your anticipated research proposal, how will you address the issues of reliability and validity? What concerns do you have over reliability and validity in your study and how will you overcome these concerns? Next, read two of your classmates’ posts and analyze how they addressed reliability and validity in their studies. Do you have any recommendations for improving reliability and validity?

Suppose you have a list containing exactly three integer numbers. Each number could be positive, negative, or zero. Write a C program that first asks the user for each of the numbers. After that, it should determine and display the number from the list that is nearest to the positive number five (5).

Examples:
If the numbers are 0, -3, and 8, then the displayed output is 8.
If the numbers are 6, 5, and 4, then the output is 5.
If the numbers are 3, 4, and 11, then the output is 4.
If the numbers are 4, 1, 6, then it turns out that 4 and 6 are both equidistant from 5. In this situation, the output should be the first number checked that satisfied the criterion. For this example, if you started on the left at 4 and proceeded to the right, the output is 4.

Vertical Analysis of Income Statement

The following comparative income statement (in thousands of dollars) for the two recent fiscal years was adapted from the annual report of Calvin Motorsports, Inc., owner and operator of several major motor speedways, such as the Atlanta, Texas, and Las Vegas Motor Speedways.

a. Prepare a comparative income statement for these two years in vertical form, stating each item as a percent of revenues. Round to one decimal place. Enter all amounts as positive numbers.

b. While overall revenue   some between the two years, the overall mix of revenue sources did change somewhat. The NASCAR broadcasting revenue   as a percent of total revenue by 3 percentage points, while the percent of admissions revenue to total revenue   by 2 percentage points. Overall, it appears that income from continuing operations has significantly improved because of  .

A regional automobile dealership sent out fliers to prospective customers indicating that they had already won one of three different​ prizes: an automobile valued at ​$20000​, a ​$150 gas​ card, or a ​$5 shopping card. To claim his or her​ prize, a prospective customer needed to present the flier at the​ dealership's showroom. The fine print on the back of the flier listed the probabilities of winning. The chance of winning the car was 1 out of 31,433​, the chance of winning the gas card was 1 out of 31,433 and the chance of winning the shopping card was 31,431 out of 31,433. Complete parts​ (a) through​ (d).

a. How many fliers do you think the automobile dealership sent​ out?

b. Using your answer to (a) and the probabilities listed on the flier, what is the expected value of the prize won by a prospective customer receiving a flier?

c.Using your answer to (a) and the probabilities listed on the flier, what is the standard deviation of the value of the prize won by a prospective customer receiving a flier?

d.Do you think this is an effective promotion? why or why not?

DataSpan, Inc., automated its plant at the start of the current year and installed a flexible manufacturing system. The company is also evaluating its suppliers and moving toward Lean Production. Many adjustment problems have been encountered, including problems relating to performance measurement. After much study, the company has decided to use the performance measures below, and it has gathered data relating to these measures for the first four months of operations.

Management has asked for your help in computing throughput time, delivery cycle time, and MCE. The following average times have been logged over the last four months:

Required:

1-a. Compute the throughput time for each month.

1-b. Compute the delivery cycle time for each month.

1-c. Compute the manufacturing cycle efficiency (MCE) for each month.

2. Evaluate the company’s performance over the last four months.

3-a. Refer to the move time, process time, and so forth, given for month 4. Assume that in month 5 the move time, process time, and so forth, are the same as in month 4, except that through the use of Lean Production the company is able to completely eliminate the queue time during production. Compute the new throughput time and MCE.

3-b. Refer to the move time, process time, and so forth, given for month 4. Assume in month 6 that the move time, process time, and so forth, are again the same as in month 4, except that the company is able to completely eliminate both the queue time during production and the inspection time. Compute the new throughput time and MCE.

Worley Company buys surgical supplies from a variety of manufacturers and then resells and delivers these supplies to hundreds of hospitals. Worley sets its prices for all hospitals by marking up its cost of goods sold to those hospitals by 6%. For example, if a hospital buys supplies from Worley that cost Worley $100 to buy from manufacturers, Worley would charge the hospital $106 to purchase these supplies.

For years, Worley believed that the 6% markup covered its selling and administrative expenses and provided a reasonable profit. However, in the face of declining profits, Worley decided to implement an activity-based costing system to help improve its understanding of customer profitability. The company broke its selling and administrative expenses into five activities as shown:

Worley gathered the data below for two of the many hospitals that it serves—University and Memorial (each hospital purchased medical supplies that had cost Worley $34,000 to buy from manufacturers):

Required:

1. Compute the total revenue that Worley would receive from University and Memorial.

2. Compute the activity rate for each activity cost pool.

3. Compute the total activity costs that would be assigned to University and Memorial.

4. Compute Worley’s customer margin for University and Memorial. (Hint: Do not overlook the $34,000 cost of goods sold that Worley incurred serving each hospital.)

1. Using the 'pulp' data from the faraway package in R, determine whether there are any differences between the operators. What is the nature of these differences? (Note; You must do multiple comparisons). Please use R or R studio code. Thanks!

Why is diarrhoea an adverse effect of some medications?

A set of data was recorded for the reaction of decomposition of H2O2. The data is shown in table 3 Copy the data from table 3 in an Excel spreadsheet. Table 3 Time (min) [H2O2] 0 0.300 1 0.221 5 0.107 10 0.065 15 0.047 20 0.037 In Excel, add two columns to calculate the ln and inverse of the concentration. Make a prediction (guess) which order the reaction is with respect to H2O2. Plot the data and see if the plot obtained is linear, if it’s not change your prediction (guess again). For example, if you predict that the order of the reaction is zero, you will plot the data in the column [H2O2] vs time. If the plot you obtain is liner, you will have found out that the order of the reaction with respect to H2O2 is zero. If the plot is not linear, you will conclude that the order of the reaction with respect to H2O2 is NOT zero but you still will not know if it is first or second order. To find out, you will have to build another plot until you find a linear one.

When you finish, answer the questions below 1. Which plot is linear? 2. What is the order of the reaction with respect to H2O2? 3. What is the value of k? 4. Write the rate law for the reaction.

Are you going to hate your new job?

Getting a new job can be exciting and uplifting. But what if you discover that after a short time on the job, that you hate your new job? Is there any way to determine ahead of time whether you will love or hate your new job? According to the Wall Street Journal, there are a few things to look for in the interview that might help you to determine whether you will be happy on that job.

A study conducted by the University of Connecticut posed several questions to employees to ascertain their job satisfaction. Themes included: relationship with the supervisor, overall quality of the work environment, total weekly hours worked, and opportunity for advancement at the job. Nineteen employees were asked to rate their job satisfaction on a scale of 0-100, with 100 being perfectly satisfied. The results of the survey are as follows. Assume that the relationship with a supervisor is rated from 0-50, with 50 as excellent. Overall workplace quality rated from 0-100, with 100 representing an excellent environment and opportunities for advancement on a scale of 0-50 with 50 representing excellent opportunity.
