A consumer magazine wants to figure out which of two major airlines lost a higher proportion of luggage on international flights. The magazine surveyed Standard Air (population 1) and Down Under airlines (population 2). Standard Air lost 45 out of 600 bags. Down Under airlines lost 30 of 500 bags. Does Standard Air have a higher population proportion of lost bags on international flights? Which of the following is the appropriate conclusion at the 5% significance level?

Is income inequality a serious problem in America? Should the government do more to promote a more equitable division of wealth in America? If so, how? If not, why not?

Explain in 300 words.

There is an emphasis in American culture on developing a strong sense of autonomy and independence as we grow older. Although Erikson was keenly aware that there is a constant tension between independence and belonging, a theme running throughout his developmental theory is that in order to advance to higher stages of development we must achieve a stronger sense of independence, increasingly liberating ourselves from our dependence upon others. Is our focus in America on autonomy and independence an unmitigated good or are there other possibilities? Looking at moral reasoning in America, Carol Gilligan contends that the emphasis on autonomy and independence is based on a masculine ideal, whereas a focus on social relationships, empathy, and interconnectedness lies at the heart of the feminist perspective. In your written assignment please describe Gilligan’s case for gender bias in Kohlberg's theory of moral reasoning. How does she justify her argument? How does her theory of moral reasoning relate to Erikson’s ideas about the relationship between autonomy and intimacy? Finally, in your own upbringing, were interdependence/empathy or independence/autonomy emphasized more? At what ages (be specific with at least one example)? Did the focus change as you grew older? Was it different in your family depending on your gender? What perspective would you try to emphasize with your own (perhaps hypothetical) children? Would it be different for different genders? This last set of questions is asking for your opinion about these issues in moral reasoning and there is not a correct answer, but you should engage the course readings in your responses.

1. Archway Adventures has compiled data for 2017 on customer orders by region and product group as follows:

Let us assume that these are representative of the pattern of orders that they anticipate seeing in 2018.

1. Are the events “Toy” and “Rest of the World” independent? Explain.
2. The rows of the table are mutually exclusive categories. How would our summary be complicated if some orders were for multiple products?

2. 54.5% of Archway’s orders come from North America, 31.5% from Europe and the remaining 14% from the rest of the world. Among North American customers, 3% complained about late or lost deliveries. Similarly, complaints were received from 8% of European customers and 15% of customers from the rest of the world.

1. Construct a probability tree that shows all combinations of where orders originated and whether customers complained. Label all branches in terms of what the event is on the branch and the corresponding probability (e.g., P(A), PA’), P(B|A), P(B’|A),…). Also determine the probability for each ending joint event (e.g., P(Europe and Complain)).
2. Summarize all of the joint probabilities in a probability table.
3. What percentage of Archway customers complained about delivery problems?
4. Among those who complained, what percentage were from Europe?

This week, we are focusing on World War I and the explosion of violence on a global stage. This is a period of fear, uncertainty, and turmoil that will greatly impact millions of individuals during this period. Consider how this war was interpreted at home and abroad!

Questions to consider: 1. Many argue that many men, notably African American men, fought a war in Europe only to return to a fight at home. Why? What does this mean? 2.
