The Institute of Education Sciences measures the high school dropout rate as the percentage of 16-through 24-year-olds who are not enrolled in school and have not earned a high school credential. Last year, the high school dropout rate was 8.1%. A polling company recently took a survey of 400 people between the ages of 16 and 24 and found that 26 of them are high school dropouts. The polling company would like to determine whether the dropout rate has decreased. Let α = 0.01. What is the decision?

Group of answer choices

Sexual predators and sex offenders are, as unfortunate as it is to say, nothing new. However, with the dawn of the internet and extensive social platforms in which everyone from the age 3-103 can interact on, new concerns about adolescents’ safety have emerged. The internet has brought with it a new arena in which sex offenders can coerce and manipulate adolescents. Parents and children alike share very personal information on the internet that has been believed to make them vulnerable to sexual predators. Now pedophiles could network with a younger generation in a private manner which makes it easier to exploit them.

            In an effort to keep parents and younger people aware of the dangers of online social interaction, we are going to discuss some concrete tools in which we can implement in the name of information and safety. Symptoms of online vulnerability include risky behavior like interacting online with unknown people, having unknown people on a buddy/friend list, talking online to unknown people about sex, seeking pornography online, or being rude/nasty online. When an adolescent takes part in the before mentioned activities they put themselves at a higher risk of being victimized online. A person who is the most likely to take part in these behaviors are girls ages 15-17, homosexual boys, or boys questioning their sexuality, prior rape victims, children with absent parents, or abused children. The outcome or diagnosis of the risky behavior or symptoms is often statutory rape.

            When a child engages in the behaviors noted in the previous paragraph they often leave themselves open to statutory rape. The definition of statutory rape is when adolescents who are legally too young to consent to intercourse, are involved in nonforcible sex. It is a crime and each state have their own laws regarding what age a person can consent to sexual intercourse, the ages vary from 14-18. They are also known as age-of-consent laws and they constitute a very large portion of sex crimes against minors. Typically, internet-initiated sex crimes pursued to arrest involved adult offenders who are 10 or more years older than their victim. If a person engages in the risky behavior, for whatever reason, and then meets with this unknown person it is likely that they will be involved in a statutory rape legal situation (my prognosis.)

            The next stage is a prescription or establishing a norm. In New Jersey there are two statutory sexual abuse charges, endangering the welfare of children (2-4-degree crime depending on circumstances), and lewdness (4^th degree crime.) I didn't see anything regarding intent, but I would personally take the deontological approach and say that any intent to commit statutory rape or sexual exploitation of a minor would be punishable by law and therefor a crime. When it comes to children it isn't the outcome, but the mere thought or action itself that is ethically wrong, regardless of the consequences of the predators’ actions. I would argue that a lot of the consequences of sexual exploitation and misconduct are not evident until someone is older. This fact further supports my deontological approach, that the act itself is wrong. However, under some circumstances with older adolescents, I think degrees of crimes as appropriate, like New Jersey has. Statutory rape is a crime regardless of consent. I think a consequential approach in respect to severity of the crime and age of the child is warranted. Each case is unique and should be assigned a degree of severity based on details of the case and the effects on the victim. But regardless of outcome, it is still a punishable crime.

            To avoid these types of situations there are measures we can take to protect children. The reading suggests that efforts be focused on educating adolescents and less on parents. The reason for this is because, “The adolescents who tend to be the victims of internet-initiated sex crimes may not themselves be very receptive to the advice and supervision of parents. Moreover, some of the most vulnerable youths are alienated from their parents, victims of familial abuse...” (Finkelhor et al. 2008) If we educate adolescents on how to avoid and prevent these types of risky behaviors, as well as what to look for in the event they are a bystander or witness to someone else experiencing these things, than they know what to look for and to report it.

It hasn't been proven that posting personal information makes someone more vulnerable to sexual predators. The risky behaviors listed earlier are the ingredients to making someone more vulnerable so therefore we need to focus attention on the importance of online interactions on the internet and how it is what we say and what we do that can leave us vulnerable. Also, make talks about internet safety developmentally appropriate. Talks about sexual victimization can be discussed in a healthy way regarding overall healthy sexual development. Our reading suggests discussing issues of, “types of internet use and websites, risky situations youth may encounter online, and the practicing of refusal and resistance techniques” (Finkelhor et al. 2008) with younger adolescents. While older adolescents would benefit from knowledge of, “age-of-consent laws, the problems of relationships with older partners, the dangers of transmitting sexual pictures, and online grooming tactics used by sexual offenders.” (Finkelhor et al. 2008)    

            With technology changing faster than we can grasp, we need to keep the most vulnerable members of our society as safe as possible. By implementing laws and tactics mentioned above we can educate everyone on how to keep children safe from sexual harm. And while sex crimes against youth haven't increased because of the internet, it is a new way for predators to take advantage on our children. And it is our responsibility to be aware of the new dangers that come with using the internet and how we can best avoid them.

In the last decade, only 50.4% of high school students in Tampa’s school district graduated high school. Aiko believes her high school in St. Petersburg has a higher graduation rate. She collects a random sample of 54 former students of her high school and found that 33 of them graduated. Test Aiko’s belief using a significance level of 0.05.

2. In a survey of 2000 students, 1638 of them thought that the prices in the school cafeteria were too high.

2a. Find a point estimate for the proportion of the school that thinks the prices in the school cafeteria are too high.

2b. Which requirement might not be met here?

2c. Find a 90% confidence interval for the proportion of the school that thinks the prices in the school cafeteria are too high.

Two companies called X plc and Y plc are considering a merger. Financial data for

the two companies are given below:

                                                                                            X                           Y

Number of shares issued 3m 6m

Profit after tax                                                             GHS1.8m                  GHS0.5m

Price/earnings ratio                                                          12.0                        10.3

The two companies have estimated that, due to economies of scale, the newly merged company would generate cost savings of GHS200,000 per year.

(i) It is suggested initially that 100% of Y PLC’s shares should be exchanged for shares in X at a rate of one share in X for every three shares in Y. What would be the expected reduction of EPS from the point of view of X’s shareholders?

(ii) An alternative to this is for X’s shares to be valued at GHS7.20 and for the total share capital of Y to be valued at GHS10.5m for merger purposes. A certain percentage of Y’s shares would be exchanged for shares in X, while the remaining shares of Y would be exchanged for 6.5% bonds (issued at GHS100 nominal value) in the new company. Given that the corporate tax rate is 30%, how much would have to be raised from the bond issue as part of the purchase consideration in order for there to be no dilution of EPS from X’s existing shareholders’ point of view?

The merger of steel makers Arcelor and Mittal in 2006 produced the world's largest steel company, with 330,000 employees and forecast earnings of $15.6 billion. Arcelor had fought a long defensive battle against the hostile takeover, valued at around $35 billion. Arcelor was incorporated in Luxembourg and had adopted European governance architecture, with a supervisory board, including employee representatives, and a management board.   
Mittal was a family company with a tradition of growth through acquisition, in which the founding family still played the dominant role. Arcelor had criticised Mittal for its inadequate controls, because it had many Mittal family members and few independent directors on its board.
In the merged Arcelor Mittal company, the Mittal family retained 43.5% of the voting equity. The new board was 18 strong, with chairman Joseph Kinsch, who was previously chairman of Arcelor, president Lakshmi Mittal, nine independent directors, plus employee representative directors and nominee directors to reflect the interests of significant shareholders.
The General Management Board was chaired by the CEO Roland Junck, with the son of Lakshmi Mittal, Aditya Mittal as CFO.
