In this discussion, identify 3 companies, from 3 different industries, where the service environment is a crucial part of the overall value proposition of the business (promotes the experience). Analyse the value that is being delivered by the service environment in detail and explain its impact on the customer.

Include a heading for each company then indentify the industry it is in, followed by your analysis. Use examples where it makes sense to do so.

The textbook basically says that the general addition rule is when A and B are two events in a probability experiment. The probability that either one of the events will occur is: P (A or B) = P (A) + P (B) – P (A and B). For example, if you take out a single card from a pack of cards, what is the probability that the card is either an ace or spade? Therefore, P(A) = 4/52, P (B) = 13/52, and P (A and B) = 1/52. P (A or B) = 4/52 + 13/52 – 1/52. P (A or B) = 4/13. Conditional Probability is the probability of one event (A) occurring with a relationship to another event (B). For example, in a sample of 40 vehicles, 18 are red, 6 are trucks, and 2 are both. Suppose that a randomly selected vehicle is red. What is the probability it is a truck? P(truck|red) = P (truck and red) / P (red). P (truck|red) = 2/40 = 18/40 = 2/18 = 1/9 or .11. So, if we must find the probability of an event which will occur given that another event has occurred, we will use conditional probability. If two events are mutually exclusive (no chance of things happening together) and you want to find the probability that an event A or B happens, we will use general addition rule.

"So we could use the general addition rule in the general election (in November elections) and use conditional probability in the primaries?"

For this Discussion please complete the following:

1. Develop a Research Question: In your area of interest, think about a research question that could be answered using a hypothesis test for a mean (see Live Binder video for examples). Write down this research question and explain what your research is trying to investigate.
2. State the Hypotheses: Using your research question, create the null hypothesis that will be tested and the alternative hypothesis. Be sure to use the symbols Ho for the null hypothesis and Ha for the alternative hypothesis.
3. One-tailed or Two-tailed: Based on your research question indicate whether you would conduct a one-tailed or two-tailed test. If you would conduct a one-tailed test indicate which direction the test would be.
4. Expected Conclusion: Think of a hypothetical p-value (must be between 0 and 1) and provide your expected decision and conclusion from your test of hypothesis based on this p-value.

Tell us about malpractice lawsuit. Include the four elements- discuss them in detail- duty, breach, proximate cause, and damages as they apply to your selected case.

Items for Analysis:

Criteria for Requirement 1, Part 1 Submission (Choose item A or B).

A. Review your company’s current and long-term liabilities section of the most recently published balance sheet. Explain the details of the current and long-term debt based on the disclosures found in the financial statements. Do not complete a ratio analysis. Instead, focus on the details in the notes and determine how well the company presented the information to an informed reader. What did the company provide about its debts in the notes, and why is that information important? How does each company comply with the rules as provided in the FASB Codification?

B. Review your company’s stockholders’ equity section of the balance sheet. Explain the details of the stock transactions, including treasury stock (if applicable) or stock compensation, based on the disclosures found in the financial statements. Do not complete a ratio analysis. Instead, focus on the details in the notes and determine how well the company presented the information to an informed reader. What did the company provide about its equity in the notes and why is that information important? How does each company comply with the rules as provided in the FASB Codification?

Project Requirements

Prepare a comparative paper using the companies your team members selected for analysis. The first submission is a draft of your findings for item A or B, above. Remember, all team members must analyze the same item. Since this is a team paper, it needs to have one voice. Compare your writing styles and items included about each company so that it appears one person wrote the paper. The first portion of the assignment submission should include:

• An introductory paragraph about the industry in which your companies compete. Provide this summary in approximately 200-250 words. Note – only one industry overview is provided, not one per company.
• Body of the paper consisting of a comparative analysis of Item A or B for each company as well as an application of the FASB Codification to “prove” the items are reported properly by your project companies. The discussion for each company should be approximately 250 words. For example, if there are four students per group, the total for all four companies would be 1,000 words.

Let's practice what we learned this week about duty, breach, proximate cause, and, damages. These are the elements of a medical malpractice case or any negligence case (for example, slipping on an old rotten tomato in the supermarket fruit aisle).

1. Tell us about malpractice or other negligence cases.

2. APPLY the 4 elements - discuss them in detail - duty, breach, proximate cause, and damages as they apply to your selected case.

Question 1:  

Consider that society’s resources are used efficiently, and you have a combination of goods and services that can be produced. Explain the Production Possibility Frontier in detail, use the drawing to give a clear picture.

1. Why do we say that the questionnaire/survey is the CRITICAL link between the respondent and the company? (Explain in a sentence or two)

1. What do we mean (in more specific terms) that the survey “serves” the manager? In other words, what are the criteria that make a “good” questionnaire for the manager? (Explain in detail.)

2. What do we mean (in more specific terms) that the survey “serves” the respondent? In other words, what are the criteria that make a “good” questionnaire for the respondent? (Explain in detail.)

You are planning on analyzing data that show the incidence of terrorist events across the United States. Write a brief paragraph that includes the following information:
i.) provide examples of different variables at the nominal, ordinal, and ratio scale variable that you would encounter in this context,
ii.) explain what type of central tendency (mean, median, or mode) you would use to best represent each of the three variables in your example, and
iii.) describe for which variable(s) you would be able to compute and interpret a standard deviation.

NOTE: Be sure to provide enough detail in your descriptions so that we can determine how each of your three variables are measured.

In this section, describe each statement as true, false or uncertain and explain your answer. Each question is worth X marks: all of the marks are for explanation, none, for the true, false or uncertain. Answers should be brief.

a) If a country has a floating exchange rate, then the fact that it has a high nominal interest rate (relative to world nominal interest rates) will make it attractive to international investors seeking high returns.

b) A country with a negative trade balance and no official exchange intervention must necessarily have a surplus in the financial account.

c) A country can have an absolute advantage in the production of a good, but not have a comparative advantage.

d) If a country unilaterally reduces the tariff rate on an imported good, this will necessarily lead to an improvement in domestic welfare.

e) If country A’s ten-year sovereign bonds have a higher yield than those of country B’s, even though the exchange rate between the two country’s is fixed, this indicates that market participants do not believe that the exchange rate will remain fixed.
