A survey of US women with Ph.D.'s was conducted. Of the 102 respondents in marriages or long-term partnerships with men, 57% reported that their spouse/partner also held a doctorate degree.

Construct a theoretical 90% confidence interval. The interval is:

Select one:

a. (49.0%, 64.7%)

b. (48.9%, 65.1%)

c. (47.1%, 66.7%)

d. (47.4%, 66.6%)

e. (44.4%, 69.6%)

Based on the interval in the previous question, what group(s) can we make a conclusion about?

a. All US women

b. All US women with Ph.D.'s

c. All US women with Ph.D.'s who are married

d. All US women with Ph.D.'s who are married or in long-term partnerships

e. All of the above

f. None of the above

The sociologists reporting on this study stated that: "There is strong evidence (p<0.001) that women in opposite-sex partnerships are more likely than women in same-sex partnerships to have a partner with the equivalent level of education." What type of error might the sociologists have committed?

Select one:

a. Type I

b. Type II

c. Neither error is possible

TodoTec, a US-based financial technologies (fintech) company is considering signing a three-year consulting contract with PagoLoco, a new company developing an epayments system in Jefalonia. This is a small South American country, historically controlled by a group of prominent families. However, the majority of the population is in the lower economic class.

The contract, payable in U.S. Dollars, calls for TodoTec to provide consulting services and license their technology for the development of the new national epayments system. The government of Jefalonia agreed to issue bonds denominated in US Dollars to build a new data management center to house the project. The local currency, the Piscocrudo, has been stable against the US Dollar for the last two years.

However, politics in Jefalonia are currently unsettled. The leading candidate for the July 2018 presidential election is Amlotonia Notrumpla from the Populist Party. If elected, she has promised to make “big changes” to government programs and economic policy. Prepare a  memo for TodoTec management to discuss risk factors from a new populist government. What steps might TodoTec take to reduce potential risks?
