c) Answer the following question in your own words: Why is the standard important? (Obviously, if it wasn’t important, no standard would be necessary.)

d) Answer the following question in your own words: If this standard did not exist, what would be the impact of not having this standard?

e) In two to four paragraphs, describe the content of the standard. If you can include an example, that would be helpful, but it is not required.

James v Meow Media, Inc 2002: James was a high school student killed by another student who played violent video games made by the defendant. The killer had been infatuated with 'first person shooter' games and it was the deceased family's argument that the video game made the him more likely to play out his fantasy by killing their son. James’ family sued the video game manufacturer, Meow Media, for negligence.

Meow prevailed based, in part, on the conclusion by the Court that there was no expectation that a third party will commit an intentional tort after playing a video game. Is there an argument, however, counter to that? Which negligence element is the most relevant to this case? Any others? Can you think of a basis to keep the suit alive other than a moralistic view?

Bonnaroo is a four-day music festival held every summer in Tennessee since 2002. Suppose the mean attendance for the festival is 80,726 people with a standard deviation of 3,173. Assume the number of people attending the festival is normally distributed. Use the Empirical Rule to answer parts a - c:  

  1. Organizers of the festival can expect between____and_____ people to attend the festival 68% of the time.
  2. Approximately______% of festivals will be attended by less than 74,380 people.
  3. If attendance this year is in the top 2.5%, then the attendance would be______ or more people.
  4. Mumford & Sons was one of the headline acts this year, and organizers anticipated a high attendance. An attendance of 95,000 people would be_____ standard deviations_______ (above or below) the mean. (In the first box, you should enter the standardized value rounded to 3 decimal places. In the second box, enter one of the following two words: above or below.)

An article in IEEE International Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility (Vol. 2, 2002, pp. 667–670) describes the quantification of the absorption of electromagnetic energy and the resulting thermal effect from cellular phones. The experimental results were obtained from in vivo experiments conducted on rats. The arterial blood pressure values (mmHg) for the control group (8 rats) during the experiment are X1 = 90, s1 = 5 and for the test group (9 rats) are X2 = 115,s2 = 10.

(a) Is there evidence to support the claim that the test group has higher mean blood pressure? Assume that both populations are normally distributed but the variances are not equal. Answer this question by finding the P-value for this test.

The test group has ( higher OR the same OR smaller)  mean blood pressure, since P-value ( > 0.05 OR < 0.05)

(b) Calculate 95% one sided CI to answer the claim in (a). Round your answer to 1 decimal place.

Question B1

In 2002, Musk sold his second internet startup, PayPal, to eBay for $1.5 billion. His first company, a Web software firm, was acquired by Compaq. Currently, Musk is the CEO of Space Exploration Technologies (SpaceX) and Tesla Motors, and also the chairman and the largest shareholder of SolarCity, an energy technology company. SpaceX, which builds rockets for companies and countries to put satellites in space, was the first private company to deliver cargo to the International Space Station. It’s reigniting interest in space exploration. Tesla Motors is the world’s most prominent maker of electric cars and is proving that electric cars can be green, sexy, and profitable. SolarCity is now the leading provider of domestic solar panels in the United States. Each of these ventures has transformed an industry: PayPal – Internet payments; Tesla – automobiles; SpaceX – aeronautics; and SolarCity – energy. (Modified from source: Kristoffer Tripplaar/Sipa USA (Sipa via AP Images)

Based on the above case, name the type of problems Musk deal with when developing these new ventures.

B2

In early 2020, Hong Kong was hit by a disease – Coronavirus. As more and more people were infected with Coronavirus, citizens had adopted the practice of wearing masks whenever they got out of their homes. Thousands of people lined up in streets and wait overnight for a chance to purchase masks for themselves and their families. The price of masks, when they were available, had increased from HK$1 a piece to HK$10 or even more. Mr. Wong was a restaurant owner. He was shocked by the situation and he wanted to help. He tried to purchase masks from sources all over the world but was unsuccessful most of the times. Through an old friend in Egypt, he finally found a mask manufacturer in Egypt – the Pyramid Mask (PM). PM agreed to sell a machine that can produce 100,000 masks per day to Mr. Wong. They could also supply all the raw materials that were needed to manufacture the masks. As Mr. Wong is not a technical person, PM even agreed to send an engineer to Hong Kong for 3 months to solve all the problems that were expected in starting a new factory. However, PM insisted that the products must be sold under PM’s brand name and Mr. Wong had to pay a fee.

Based on the above case, identify the approach Mr. Wong used to go international.

You can find the data set for this Assignment in the Weekly Data Set forum found in the Discussions area of the course navigation menu.

Nursing Psychology
Nervous 4 11
Excited 16 9


Another way of looking at this data set would be:
4 Nervous Nursing Students
11 Nervous Psychology Students
16 Excited Nursing Students
