The mayor of a town has proposed a plan for the construction of an adjoining community. A political study took a sample of 1400 1400 voters in the town and found that 61% 61 % of the residents favored construction. Using the data, a political strategist wants to test the claim that the percentage of residents who favor construction is not equal to 64% 64 % . Testing at the 0.01 0.01 level, is there enough evidence to support the strategist's claim?

Listed below are amounts of court income and salaries paid to the town justices for a certain town. All amounts are in thousands of dollars. Find the​ (a) explained​ variation, (b) unexplained​ variation, and​ (c) indicated prediction interval. There is sufficient evidence to support a claim of a linear​ correlation, so it is reasonable to use the regression equation when making predictions. For the prediction​ interval, use a 99​% confidence level with a court income of ​$800​,000.

Court Income ​$60 ​$408 ​$1583 ​$1124 ​$268 ​$252 ​$108 ​$169 ​$29

Justice Salary ​$26 ​$40 ​$96 ​$60 ​$46 ​$57 ​$30 ​$27 ​$15

A) Find explained variation. round to 3 decimal places

B) Find unexplained variation. round to 3 decimal places

C) Find indicated prediction interval. round to 3 decimal places

Each person in random samples of 227 male and 253 female working adults living in a certain town in Canada was asked how long, in minutes, his or her typical daily commute was. (Use a statistical computer package to calculate the P-value. Use μ_males − μ_females. Round your test statistic to two decimal places, your df down to the nearest whole number, and your P-value to three decimal places.)

Is there enough evidence to show that there is a difference in mean commute times for male and female working residents of this town? Use a significance level of 0.05.

Yes

No    

Pirates are attacking the coastal town of Townberg. The pirates have

a cannon on their ship which can fire a cannonball at 440 meters per

second.

(a) Suppose the pirates fix the cannon at an angle of π/4. Write a function h(t) which gives the height (in meters) at t seconds for the cannonball (assume that the cannonball has initial height 5 meters) and a function d(t) which gives the horizontal distance of the cannonball (in meters) at t seconds.

(b) How far from Townberg does the pirate ship have to be so that

the cannonball can hit the town (assume Townberg has a height

of 0 meters)?

(c) What is the cannonball’s vertical speed as it hits the ground?

What is the cannonball’s horizontal speed as it hits the ground?

What is the cannonballs total speed as it hits the ground?

Smith Corp. orally engaged TRA CPAs, to audit its financial statements. The management of Smith Corp. informed TRA CPAs that it suspected that the accounts receivable was materially overstated. Although the financial statements audited by TRA CPAs did, in fact, include a materially overstated accounts receivable balance, TRA issued an unqualified opinion. Smith Corp then relied on the financial statements in deciding to obtain a loan from Town Bank to expand its operations and Town Bank relied on the financial statements in making the loan to Smith Corp. As a result of the overstated accounts receivable balance, Smith Corp. has defaulted on the loan and has incurred a substantial loss. If Smith Corp sues TRA CPAs for negligence in failing to discover the overstatement, what is TRA CPA's best defense?

Janet Johnson, an African American woman, has been working at the Tennessee Hydroelectric plant for 15 years. During that time, his performance reviews have been exemplary. She decided to apply for the new plant foreman position. Although she felt that she was eminently qualified for the position, she also was growing tired of a certain good old boy culture at the plant. For years, the plant has had a culture of highly lewd “jokes,” and many of the employees had also engaged in inappropriate touching of female employees. The plant had an anti-harassment policy on record, but Janet’s boss shrugged and said “boys will be boys” when she reported the harassment to him.

Competition for the position was fierce. But ultimately, Jose Martinez, a Chilean man, received the position. Jose had 7 years of experience. Unbeknownst to the applicants the promotion board secretly ran a credit check on the applicants. Janet credit score came in as lower as average, and this factored into the board’s decision. Although he met the qualifications of the position, one of the hiring managers told Janet in confidence that Janet was the most qualified person for the job. And the other managers had applied a racial preference on Jose’s behalf due to there never having been a Latino manager at the plant even though Latino’s represented 35% of employees at the plant. Janet sues the plant for disparate treatment, disparate impact, and sexual harassment under Title VII.


Questions

1. List the elements of disparate treatment and apply them to this case. Can Janet prove a prima facie case? How would the plant rebuff these charges? Who would ultimately prevail?
2. List the elements of a disparate impact case and apply them to this case? Will Janet prevail on this charge?
3. List the elements of the sexual harassment case and apply them to this case? Can the plant establish an affirmative defense?
4. If the plant argues that it applied a racial preference to Jose to correct a manifest imbalance at the plant of underutilization of certain minorities, will the plant prevail? Why or why not?
5. Was it legal to use the credit check as a factor in the promotion decision the way that it was done here? Why or why not?
