A normal deck of cards has 52 cards, consisting
of 13 each of four suits: spades, hearts, diamonds,
and clubs. Hearts and diamonds are red,
while spades and clubs are black. Each suit has
an ace, nine cards numbered 2 through 10, and
three face cards. The face cards are a jack, a
queen, and a king. Answer the following questions
for a single card drawn at random from a
well-shuffled deck of cards.
a. What is the probability of drawing a king of
any suit?
b. What is the probability of drawing a face
card that is also a spade?
c. What is the probability of drawing a card
without a number on it?
d. What is the probability of drawing a red
card? What is the probability of drawing an
ace? What is the probability of drawing a
red ace? Are these events (“ace” and “red”)
mutually exclusive? Are they independent?
e. List two events that are mutually exclusive
for a single draw from a deck of cards.
f. What is the probability of drawing a red
king? What is the probability of drawing a
face card in hearts? Are these two events
mutually exclusive? Are they independent?

Based on “Starbucks Wins Key Trademark Case in China” case study Case Summary This feature focuses on intellectual property laws in China. When Starbucks entered China in 1999, the company was quickly challenged by a look-alike competitor, Shanghai Xing Ba Ke Coffee Shop. Not only did the name Xing Ba Ke mimic the Starbucks name, but Xing Ba Ke’s stores were virtual replicas of those operated by Starbucks. In 2003, Starbucks sued Xing Ba Ke for trademark violations. In 2006, Starbucks won its case, and Xing Ba Ke was fined $62,000 and ordered to stop using its name. The case was seen as a break through of sorts, a signal that China was finally caving to pressure from other nations and the World Trade Organization to respect intellectual property rights. Today, Starbucks operates over 400 stores in China and expects the market to become second only to the U.S.

a) Discuss the concept of property rights protection and why it is so important to companies. What does the court ruling against Xing Ba Ke mean for other companies that are already doing business in China, or are considering entering the market?

b).How important is the Chinese market to Starbucks? Does the presence of look-alike companies like Xing Ba Ke deter firms from entering the market?

In class we discussed how an organizations can ensure successful change management by implementing "quick wins" and WIIFMs. Explain in detail What do we mean by these two terms as they related to change management and give one example of each using a real change transformation project in a company. You can select your project case from the internet. Tell me a little about the case. Then give an example of each- a quick win and a WIIFM. You can make up xamples (i.e. it doesn't have to be a real example) that are in the context of the case study and illustrate that you know what a quick win is and what a WIIFM is as we studied these concepts. Explain your answer completely and in a clearly explained manner.

Note: The case study is not given in a question, as it is mentioned in the question case study example should be selected from the online which suits the given question and also the last part of the question demands for an example where it doesn't need to be real life example.

Your best friend wins the lottery and gives you a gift option.  You need to complete both problems to make your decision.

1. As one gift option, they offer to give you the interest only from a $1,000,000 investment with an interest rate of 8% that compounds annually.  How much interest do you receive in 5 years?

2. As another gift option, they offer to give you the interest only from $2,000,000 investment with an interest rate of 7% that compounds semi-annually.  How much interest do you receive in 2.5 years?

3. What is the future value of $13,000 at 10% compounded semi-annually over 10 years?

4. What is the future value of $13,000 at 10% interest compounded quarterly over 10 years?

A recent Wall Street Journal article indicated that 37% of American teenagers use Pandora's online radio service. Suppose a sample of 25 American teenagers is selected. Based on this information, generate a cumulative binomial probability distribution in the given space. Round to four decimals for the answer.

1-A contractor decided to build homes that will include the middle 80% of the market. If the average size of homes built is 1750 square feet, find the maximum and minimum sizes of the homes the contractor should build. Assume that the standard deviation is 96 square feet and the variable is normally distributed.
