The school randomly surveys 10 seniors who are HSS students and 10 seniors who are Business students and asks them to rate the quality of their academic experience on a scale of 1-10, where 10 is extremely high and 1 is extremely low.

8 8

The HSS majors have a mean of 7.5 and a variance of 3.6, whereas the Business majors have a mean of 6.5 and a variance of 2.9.

Answer the following questions:

1. What is the null hypothesis? (1 point)

2. What is the research hypothesis? (1 point)

3. What is the dependent variable? (1 point)

4. Write out the results of an independent samples t-test using these data. In other words, provide the numerical answers: t-statistic, your critical value of t (or p-value), and degrees of freedom. (4 points)

Explore of each of the questions below and provide your perspective :

  1. A company faced by an elastic demand curve will always benefit by decreasing price. True or false? Explain.
  2. In 2002 the U.S. Postal Service increased first-class postage rates from 34₵ to 37₵. The service had been losing money.

The debate of whether an auditor who performs non-attest services (e.g. Consulting) for an audit client will have their independence impaired has been going on for some time in the accounting profession. While Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 expressly restrict auditors from performing consulting and other non-attest services for their audit clients, the AICPA does not have such stringent restrictions.

Required: Present an argument why you believe that performing non attest services for an audit client would or would not impair an auditor’s independence for audits performed under either the PCOB auditing standards OR the AICPA auditing standards.
