Blue Bayou Middle School wants to raise money for a new sound system for its auditorium. The primary fund-raising event is a dance at which the famous disc jockey Kray Zee will play classic and not-so-classic dance tunes. Grant Hill, the music and theater instructor, has been given the responsibility for coordinating the fund-raising efforts. This is Grant’s first experience with fund-raising. He decides to put the eighth-grade choir in charge of the event; he will be a relatively passive observer. Grant had 500 unnumbered tickets printed for the dance. He left the tickets in a box on his desk and told the choir students to take as many tickets as they thought they could sell for $5 each. In order to ensure that no extra tickets would be floating around, he told them to dispose of any unsold tickets. When the students received payment for the tickets, they were to bring the cash back to Grant, and he would put it in a locked box in his desk drawer. Some of the students were responsible for decorating the gymnasium for the dance. Grant gave each of them a key to the money box and told them that if they took money out to purchase materials, they should put a note in the box saying how much they took and what it was used for. After 2 weeks, the money box appeared to be getting full, so Grant asked Lynn Dandi to count the money, prepare a deposit slip, and deposit the money in a bank account that Grant had opened. The day of the dance, Grant wrote a check from the account to pay Kray Zee. The DJ said, however, that he accepted only cash and did not give receipts. So Grant took $200 out of the cash box and gave it to Kray. At the dance, Grant had Dana Uhler working at the entrance to the gymnasium, collecting tickets from students and selling tickets to those who had not pre-purchased them. Grant estimated that 400 students attended the dance. The following day, Grant closed out the bank account, which had $250 in it, and gave that amount plus the $180 in the cash box to Principal Sanchez. Principal Sanchez seemed surprised that, after generating roughly $2,000 in sales, the dance netted only $430 in cash. Grant did not know how to respond. Identify as many internal control weaknesses as you can in this scenario, and suggest how each could be addressed.

A school psychologist wishes to determine whether a new antismoking film actually reduces the daily consumption of cigarettes by teenage smokers. The mean daily cigarette consumption is calculated for each eight teenage smokers during the month before and the month after the film presentation, with the following results:

MEAN DAILY CIGARETTE CONSUMPTION

(Note: when deciding on the form of the alternative hypothesis, H1, remember that a positive difference score (D=X1-X2) reflects a decline in cigarette consumption.)

Using t, test the null hypothesis at the .05 level of significance.

A)What is the research problem in this scenario?

B)Which of the following is the appropriate pair of statistical hypotheses for this study?

C)Compute the degrees of freedom for this scenario.

D)What is the decision rule in this scenario?

E)Calculate the value of the t test.

F)What is the decision about the null hypothesis in this scenario?

H)What is the interpretation in this scenario?

I)If appropriate (because the null hypothesis was rejected), construct a 95 percent confidence interval for the true population mean for all difference scores and use Cohen’s d to obtain a standardized of the effect size. Lower bound, upper bound, or 0 if null hypothesis is retained

J)Enter the estimate of the standardized effect size (Cohen’s d).

K)What might be done to improve the design of this experiment?

The outbreak of the HIV/AIDS epidemic in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) in the 1990s has influenced many aspects of people’s life in the region. How do you think the HIV/AIDS epidemic will affect the process of demographic transition for SSA countries that are severely infected? Explain (Note: It is more important for you to provide economic reasoning for any possible effects rather than giving a conclusive answer)
