1. Fossa (a terrestrial mammal in Madagascar) experience a population decline of 20% each time a cyclone hit a particular national park on the African coast, because their prey populations also decline rapidly. Usually, one cyclone hits every 10 years. However, in one unusual year, five cyclones hit this national park and the population was reduced in quick succession to a level that was then easily wiped out by hunters. The primary causes of this population’s extinction were:

a) Over-Exploitation & Demographic Stochasticity

b) Over-Exploitation & Environmental Stochasticity

c) Demographic Stochasticity & Habitat Loss

d) Environmental Stochasticity & Habitat Loss

e) Demographic & Environmental Stochasticity

2. For a decreasing population, which of the following could be true regarding a declining population?

Suppose National Collegiate Athletic Association [NCAA] rules state all student-athletes are to receive an average of 50 hours of academic support, per term. A random sample of 49 University of Maryland student-athletes revealed a mean of 47.5 hours of academic support per term. If the calculated value for the associated test statistic equaled -1.75, what was the standard deviation of the number of hours of academic support the student-athletes in the sample received per term?

Case 3: Recently, an association that represented police in New Jersey complained that the incidence of cancer was unusually high among police officers who used radar guns in tracking the speed of drivers. The association brought suit against the state, claiming that those officers who used these radar guns had an incidence of cancer 18 percent higher than a comparable group of government workers from the state park service who were randomly selected for comparison purposes. The comparison sample and the police officers were matched on educational level, age, gender, and years of service. The sample was large: 283 police officers and 231 park workers.

You travel to one of the shops where you park your car beside a Ferrari Testa Rossa in the store car park, and
enter the store to find an immaculately dressed lady who runs the store on her own. The dresses sold in the
store retail for several thousand dollars an item. On chatting to the lady, you discover the Ferrari is her
“getting to work” car. You note that there is no cash register and are told that given the value of the dresses,
only a few sales a day are processed, and these are either by EFTPOS using a single machine, or cash, which
is immediately banked. Customers are given handwritten detailed receipts, which do not carry a serial
number.
Required:
Given the above situation critically analyse the sales process and describe in detail what management
assertions may be at risk relative to sales. Give full reasons for your choices. In your answer explain what
management assertions are.
