At a company picnic at a state park out of town, a child falls from a tree and fractures her forearm. You give appropriate first aid (RICE), and the parents now will take her to the nearest emergency department.

Should you splint the arm?

The Inn at Prescott Ranch is a small, boutique hotel located in Prescott, Arizona. It opened in 1998. The Inn has identified the main competition as the Prescott Resort, owned and operated by the Yavapai Nation, and the Hassayampa Inn, a historic hotel in downtown Prescott, adjacent to Whiskey Row.

The Inn has 65 rooms on two floors—each with a private balcony. The nightly room rates are the highest in Prescott. The Inn offers a full array of amenities—both in the public areas and in the rooms. The Inn offers complimentary van service to the Gateway Mall, Bucky’s Casino, and Whiskey Row; and valet parking services with covered parking. There is nightly entertainment in the lobby. In-room amenities include high-thread-count linens; terry robes; organic soaps and toiletries; flat-screen TVs with DVD players; and Bose® stereo systems.

The Inn maintains a full bar and has an agreement with Wildflower Bakery to provide daily continental breakfast for an additional charge to nightly rates or included in the Bed & Breakfast Special. Boxed lunches may also be pre-ordered from Wildflower Bakery. The Inn is not “flagged” or branded. The management is highly involved in local organizations. There is an existing contract with Yavapai College for sponsorship of its performing arts series with Paramount Studies for a project being filmed in the Prescott area. In addition, the Inn at Prescott Ranch has been featured on Arizona Highways TV, Arizona Highways magazine, and in the Arizona Republic travel section. The Inn also participates in the local chamber of commerce and tourism promotional efforts for the Prescott area.

Management is looking for a marketing plan for 2011.

Questions:

1. If you were preparing a marketing plan for this hotel, how would you describe the company, its positioning strategy, and its value proposition?

2. What do you want to know about the market—demographics and psychographics?

3. Describe each of the 4Ps.

4. Without doing further research, who is the perceived target market?

5. Does the hotel have a brand image? If so, define.

Disney raises theme park ticket prices, again. You've got to pay more to play in the Magic Kingdom, because Walt Disney just raised its ticket prices again, breaking the $100 mark. A one-day ticket to the Walt Disney World Resort's flagship theme park, the Magic Kingdom, now costs $105, up from $99. Prices had been jacked up by $4 just last year. The price of admission applies to anyone 10 years and older entering the Orlando-area theme park. Younger children, aged 3 to 9, pay $99 to enter the Magic Kingdom, compared to $94 last year. Prices also increased for the other Disney World theme parks -- EPCOT, the Animal Kingdom Park and Hollywood Studios -- to $97 for visitors aged 10 and older, compared to $94 last year. Children aged 3 to 10 now pay $91 for a single-day ticket to those parks, compared to $88 last year. The price hikes seem to be working for parent company Walt Disney World Resorts, which reported a 7% increase in revenue year-over-year, largely from its parks. "Increased guest spending was primarily due to higher average ticket prices for admissions at our theme parks," Walt Disney Company (DIS) said in a financial report. A Disney spokeswoman said the "vast majority" of visitors buy the multi-day passes, which can knock the price down to $96 per day for a two-day ticket, or $63 per day for a five-day ticket. She also said that a ticket for a single day at Walt Disney World buys 16 hours of entertainment.

1. What is the price of a one-day ticket to the Magic Kingdom?

2. Given the income elasticity of demand how do we know if a trip to Disney World is a normal good or an inferior good?

3. The news article tells us that with ticket prices rising, revenue is increasing. What does this tell us about the price elasticity of demand of a trip to Disney World?

Data:

Persons having Raynaud's syndrome are apt to suffer a sudden impairment of blood circulation in fingers and toes. In an experiment to study the extent of this impairment, each subject immersed a forefinger in water and the resulting heat output (cal/cm²/min) was measured. For m = 10 subjects with the syndrome, the average heat output was x = 0.61, and for n = 10 nonsufferers, the average output was 2.08. Let μ₁ and μ₂ denote the true average heat outputs for the sufferers and nonsufferers, respectively. Assume that the two distributions of heat output are normal with σ₁ = 0.3 and σ₂ = 0.5.

(a) Consider testing H₀: μ₁ − μ₂ = −1.0 versus H_a: μ₁ − μ₂ < −1.0 at level 0.01. Describe in words what H_a says, and then carry out the test.

H_a says that the average heat output for sufferers is the same as that of non-sufferers.H_a says that the average heat output for sufferers is less than 1 cal/cm²/min below that of non-sufferers.    H_a says that the average heat output for sufferers is more than 1 cal/cm²/min below that of non-sufferers.

Calculate the test statistic and P-value. (Round your test statistic to two decimal places and your P-value to four decimal places.)

State the conclusion in the problem context.

Fail to reject H₀. The data suggests that the average heat output for sufferers is less than 1 cal/cm²/min below that of non-sufferers.Fail to reject H₀.

(b) What is the probability of a type II error when the actual difference between μ₁ and μ₂ is

μ₁ − μ₂ = −1.5?

(Round your answer to four decimal places.)


(c) Assuming that m = n, what sample sizes are required to ensure that β = 0.1 when

μ₁ − μ₂ = −1.5?

(Round your answer up to the nearest whole number.)

Peptide decomposition is one of the key processes of digestion, where a peptide bond is broken into an acid group and an amine group. We can describe this reaction as follows:

Peptide(aq) + H20(l) = acid group(aq) + amine group(aq)

If we place 1.0 mole of peptide into 1.0 L water, what will be the equilibrium concentrations of all species in this reaction? Assume the K value for this reaction is 3.1x10-5.
