The Journal of Accounting Research (March 2008) published a study on
relationship incentives and degree of optimism among analysts’ forecasts. Participants were
analysts at either a large or small brokerage firm who made their forecasts either early or late
in the quarter. Also, some analysts were only concerned with making an accurate forecast,
while others were also interested in their relationship with management. Suppose one of
these analysts is randomly selected. Consider the following events:
A = {The analyst is only concerned with making an accurate forecast},
B = {The analyst makes the forecast early in the quarter},
C = {The analyst is from a small brokerage firm}.
For each of the following, describe each of the events in terms of unions, intersections and
complements of events A, B and C.
a) The analyst makes an early forecast and is only concerned with accuracy.
(b) The analyst is not only concerned with accuracy.
(c) The analyst is from a small brokerage firm or makes an early forecast.
(d) The analyst makes a late forecast and is not only concerned with accuracy.

Recall (from Exercise 1.6, p. 4) that Machiavellian describes negative character traits such as manipulation, cunning, duplicity, deception, and bad faith. A Machiavellian ("Mach") rating score was determined for each in a sample of accounting alumni of a large southwestern university. The accountants were then classified as having high, moderate, or low Mach rating scores. For one portion of the study,...

A study published in BMC Health Services Research in October 2008 considered the cost-effectiveness of assisting general practitioners in management of patients with diabetes by use of a centralized database of clinical data to coordinate care. Based on five years of data a simulation model was used to predict patient outcomes and complications up to the time of death. The per-patient increase in costs due to the program were estimated to be $3,000. Quality-adjusted life years were calculated to be...

In a study published in the American Journal of Psychiatry researchers wanted to measure the effect of alcohol on the development of the hippocampal region (responsible for long term memory storage) in adolescents. The researchers randomly selected 12 adolescents with alcohol use disorders. They wanted to determine whether the hippocampal volumes in the alcoholic adolescents were less than the normal volume of 9.02 cubic centimeters HA:μ<9.02 . An analysis of the sample data revealed that the hippocampal volume is approximately...
