In a university 20% students belong to the school of business (B), 15% to the school of
engineering(E) and 30% belong to the school of social sciences(S). Of the school of
business students 35% have taken a statistics course, of the school of engineering
students 45% have taken a statistics course, and of the school of social sciences
students, 20% have taken a statistics course. Between the three schools, what fraction
of students have taken a statistics course (Q)? If a randomly selected student is found
to have taken a statistics course, what is the chance that the student belongs to the
school of business?

Assume that you are graduating, that you plan to work for 4 years, and then to go to law school for 3 years. Right now, going to law school would require $17,000 per year (for tuition, books, livingexpenses, etc.), but you expect this cost to rise by 8 percent per year in all future years. You now have $25,000 invested in an investment account which pays a simple annual rate of 9 percent, quarterlycompounding, and you expect that rate of return to continue into the future. You want to maintain thesame standard of living while in law school that $17,000 per year would currently provide. You plan tosave and to make 4 equal payments (deposits) which will be added to your account at the end of eachof the next 4 years; these new deposits will earn the same rate as your investment account currentlyearns. How large must each of the 4 payments be in order to permit you to make 3 withdrawals, at thebeginning of each of your 3 years in law school?

(Note: (1) The first payment is made a year fromtoday and the last payment 4 years from today, (2) the first withdrawal is made 4 years from today, and(3) the withdrawals will notbe of a constant amount.)

The system development project team at Birdie Masters golf schools has been working on defining the architecture design for a new system. The major focus of the project is a networked school location operations system allowing each school location to easily record and retrieve all school location transaction data. Another system element is the use of the Internet to enable current and prospective students to view class offerings at any of the Birdie Masters’ locations, schedule lessons and enroll in classes at any Birdie Masters’ location, and maintain a student progress profile—a confidential analysis of the student’s golf skill development. The project team has been considering the globalization issues that should be factored into the architecture design. The school’s plan for expansion into the golf-crazed Japanese market is moving ahead. The first Japanese school location is tentatively planned to open about 6 months after Minicases 267 the target completion date for the system project. Therefore, it is important that issues related to the international location be addressed now during design.
Prepare a set of nonfunctional requirements, including operational requirements, performance requirements, security requirements, and cultural and political requirements. Much information is incomplete, but do your best.

At Rachel's 11^th birthday party, 8 girls were timed to see how long (in seconds) they could hold their breath in a relaxed position. After a two-minute rest, they timed themselves while jumping. The girls thought that the mean difference between their jumping and relaxed times would be zero. Test their hypothesis at the 5% level.

NOTE: If you are using a Student's t-distribution for the problem, including for paired data, you may assume that the underlying population is normally distributed. (In general, you must first prove that assumption, though.)

• Part (e) What is the test statistic? (If using the z distribution round your answer to two decimal places, and if using the t distribution round your answer to three decimal places.)
  

• Part (f)

  What is the p-value? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
  

Happy Valley is the only available camping area in Rural County. It is owned by the county, which allows free access to campers. Almost all visitors to Happy Valley come from the six towns in the county. Rural County is considering leasing Happy Valley for logging, which would require that it be closed to campers. Before approving the lease, the county executive would like to know the magnitude of annual benefits that campers would forgo if Happy Valley were to be closed to the public.

An analyst for the county has collected data for a travel cost study to estimate the benefits of Happy Valley camping. On five randomly selected days, he recorded the license plates of vehicles parked overnight in the Happy Valley lot. With cooperation from the state motor vehicle department, he was able to find the town of residence of the owner of each vehicle. He also observed a sample of vehicles from which he estimated that each vehicle carried 3.2 persons (1.6 adults), on average.

In order to translate the distance traveled into an estimate of the cost campers faced in using Happy Valley, the analyst made the following assumptions. First, the average operating cost of vehicles is $0.36 per mile. Second, the average speed on county highways is 50 miles per hour. Third, the opportunity cost to adults of travel time is 40 percent of their wage rate; it is zero for children. Fourth, adult campers have the average county wage rate of $9.25 per hour. The analyst has asked you to help him use this information to estimate the annual benefits accruing to Happy Valley campers. Specifically, assist with the following tasks.

1. Calculate the time spent travelling from each town for the round-trip (Hint: Time = Distance/Speed). Note that the data posted on distance is for only one way.
2. Calculate the opportunity cost of time spent travelling for adults per vehicle from each town for the roundtrip.
3. Calculate the operating vehicle cost from each town for the round-trip.
4. Calculate the total cost of travelling per vehicle from each town (Hint: add the values you got from (b) and (c))
5. Calculate the total cost of travelling per vehicle per person (Hint: divide the values you derived from (d) by

3.2 for each town).

6. For the six observations, regress visit rate on Total Cost of travelling per person (TC) derived from (e) and a constant.

Case – Recreational Park Project
The public has recognized the benefits of recreation and parks as essential to their health and quality of life. A recent survey conducted in 2016 found that the construction of more recreational facilities was a top priority among residents in Lazarette Town (in the Caribbean).
As such, the town council in Lazarette, with the help of other key stakeholders, has sourced and secured three (3) million dollars of grant funds from the Caribbean Wellness Community (CWC) for the development of a mini outdoor recreational park on three (3) acres of land donated by a benevolent resident of the town.   
The park will contain sporting facilities among other recreational facilities (e.g. walking trails, children playground, tennis court, basketball court, work out stations, benches, shower facilities, rest rooms etc.). All major key stakeholders and sponsors have unanimously agreed that that the facility should cater for residents of all ages. Additionally, a group of minority stakeholders has expressed their requirements of having an eco-friendly and climate resilient facility. The park should be completed and ready for use by 2022, i.e. the project duration should not exceed two years.
To ensure that the project is completed on time, within scope and on budget, the funding agency and the Lazarette Town Council require that a dedicated and knowledgeable project team is assigned to the project. CWC has expressed the need for the project deliverables to be of ‘high’ quality to guarantee stakeholders’ satisfaction and safety. The CWC requires that ‘tight’ procurement processes should be followed to ensure transparency, accountability and economy. It is anticipated that most of the goods, works and services for building the park will be procured from vendors, suppliers and contractors in the town. In addition, CWC has detailed the need for both positive and negative projects risk to be properly managed throughout the project.
In response to CWC implied and expressed requirements, the Lazarette Town Council has selected and appointed your team to provide project management services for the Recreational Park Project. As a proactive team, your team has decided to use ‘best practices’ in project management to plan project activities and get approval from key project stakeholders before constructing or building the facility. Give the type and nature of the project, the intention is to use a traditional/waterfall approach to project management activities instead of the largely popular and contemporary agile methodology used other industries.   
Your team understands the value of planning before doing, and the council’s concerns of not losing the grant funding from CWC. In addition, your team is keen on building a good reputation in the
town. With a can do attitude and the need to increase the chances of the project success, the project management team (your 5-member group) is determined to ensure that the team utilizes the ‘best practices’ for planning, executing and controlling this valuable community based project.
