For the product category separately answer the following questions:

1. Name and specifically discuss the brands that are in your (a) awareness set, (b) consideration (evoked) set, (c) inert set, and (d) inept set. For the set this should include - Which brands, why this many, why these specific ones - Don’t just make a list of these brands!
2. Discuss in what ways you think each of your four sets will differ/be the same as other students’ in this class (i.e., compare/contrast the specific brands, number of brands, etc.)
3. 2 Page long please  

Tune Products, Inc. offered to sell one hundredMP3 players at $50.each, subject to certain specific delivery dates. Unlimited replied with a signed purchase order that reads: "Accept your offer for 100 I-appliances at $50.Must be delivered to our warehouse." Tune did not respond and did not deliver the goods. Unlimited is suing for breach of contract. Tune contends that there is no contract.

Students must choose 1 case from the list of cases provided and write a Brief on behalf of plaintiff or defendant. The overall grade will be based on (1) quality of writing (2) depth of analysis and legal reasoning (3) quality of research (you must cite at least one external source, other than your textbook, that guided your analysis).

This is python:

#Imagine you're writing a program to calculate the class
#average from a gradebook. The gradebook is a list of
#instances of the Student object.
#
#You don't know everything that's inside the Student object,
#but you know that it has a method called get_grade().
#get_grade() will return the average for the student
#represented by a given instance of Student.
#
#You don't know if get_grade() is stored in memory or if
#it's calculated when it's needed, but you don't need to.
#All you need to know is that the class Student has a method
#get_grade() that returns an integer representing the
#student's numeric grade.
#
#Write a function called class_average. class_average()
#should take as input a list of instances of Student, and it
#should return as output the average grade of those
#students, as calculated via their get_grade() method.
#Remember, average is the sum of all their individual
#grades, divided by the number of students.
#
#Hint: You do NOT need to write the Student class to
#complete this problem. You may if you want to in order to
#run and test your code, but when you submit your code for
#grading, we will test it with our Student class. Don't let
#this throw you off: throughout this course, you've been
#using lots of classes without knowing how they work: you
#don't know how the String class works, but you know what
#its upper() method does. You do not need to know how the
#Student class works to use its get_grade() method.

#Write your function here!

#If you want to write a Student class to test your code,
#you could below, and then add your own test cases below
#that. The only requirement you would need to meet is that
#your Student class would need to have a get_grade()
#method that returns an integer (in addition to any other
#usual requirements for classes).

If 58% of the students at a university commute by bus, what is the probability that in a class of 15 students

(a) fewer than 8 students commute by bus ? Answer

(b) more than 10 students commute by bus ? Answer

(c) at least 8 students don't commute by bus ? Answer

Round your final answer to 4 decimal places.

Airlines sometimes overbook fights. Suppose that for a plane with 50 seats, 53 passengers have tickets. Define the random variable Y as the number of ticketed passengers who actually show up for the fight. The probability mass function of Y appears in the accompanying table.

Y 48 49 50 51 52 53 P(Y=y) 0.28 ? 0.25 0.06 0.05 0.05

a. Given the missing value P(Y=49).

b. What is the probability that the fight will accommodate all ticketed passengers who show up?

c. If you are the first person on the standby list (which means you will be the first one to get on the plane if there are any seats available after all ticketed passengers have been accommodated), what is the probability that you will be able to take the flight?

d. Find E(Y) and E(Y^2).

e. Find V(Y).

The term “reverse discrimination”. Discussed with the Bakke case where in Mr. Bakke had the qualifications needed to get into medical school in California. However, in an attempt to make up for discrimination in education in the 1960’s and earlier (Bakke took place in the late 60’s), the school kept 16 of its 100 seats open for minority applicants only; the other 84 could be competed for by anyone. Bakke sued the school, and the Court ruled that he was the victim of reverse discrimination.

Re: the case of Steelworkers v. Weber. In that case, the Court didn’t exactly define reverse discrimination. Rather, the Court set forth a set of factors to use to determine whether reverse discrimination had been committed, or if the employer, school, etc. was acting properly to make up for past discrimination.

Read the Court’s list of factors and discuss your thoughts on the Court’s opinion.

Santa Toy Shop produces toys. During November, the following information was gathered:

Actual market size was 20,000, whereas budgeted market share was 16%.

REQUIRED:

1. Compute the total, sales price, variable cost, flexible-budget, sales-volume, sales-mix, sales-quantity, market-share, and market-size variances. Be sure to indicate whether each is favorable or unfavorable!
2. Calculate numbers to three to four decimal points!

USA spends about 54% of its total federal budget on the Military. Military spending in the USA is far greater than any nation in the world. (USA spends more on military than the next 10 highest spenders combined, 4 times China who is second on the list etc) Why does USA need to spend so much more on its military than other countries (cause), and what is/are the results of all this spending (effect)?

The essays should not be a simple list of causes or effects, but an essay that takes a position on why a condition exists and or argues the results of this condition. Some writers may even be able to create a strong focused thesis by suggesting a solution or arguing for some clear change of policy. The goal is to create an essay that allows you to develop a position or argument in a cause and effect essay. A strong thesis statement is very important and students should underline it in the final draft of their essay. Essay should be 4 pages long, double spaced , and it must have a minimum of 3 academic sources—no Wikipedia, encyclopedias, dictionaries etc. Use the library resources to find legitimate, academic sources.

Regarding the scenario below, state below PRECISELY what criteria you are going to use to identify the top candidates based on the records provided. Be brief but be complete.

Imagine you are hired for Moople, a well-known tech company that receives thousands of job applications from students every year. You are asked to create a program that algorithmically selects the applications that are worth a second look. Moople claims that algorithms will reduce costs and help negate the biases that result from tired application readers (will it?).

To help with this process, Moople’s application collects numerical data about each applicant’s computer science education. Applicants must enter the grades they received across 6 core CS courses as well as their overall GPA. The information for each applicant will be stored in a list, such as the following:

[100, 95, 80, 89, 91, 75, 83]

This list will represent their performance across the following courses:

• [0] Intro to CS: 100
• [1] Data Structures: 95
• [2] Software Engineering: 80
• [3] Algorithms: 89
• [4] Computer Organization: 91
• [5] Operating Systems: 75
• [6] Overall College GPA: 83
