A restaurant in London is in its first 12 months of business. The year was somewhat successful, with the owner averaging $1,000 net profit per month after all deductions and expenses. However, he is unhappy with the amount of time it has been taking staff to provide customer service (measured from the time the customer enters to the moment they leave with their food). The restaurant design team was convinced that the restaurant’s design would allow for an average delivery time of approximately 7 minutes. As the owner was concerned they might not be hitting the mark, the design team asked a consultant to conduct a small study to examine customer service delivery time. A sample of 20 restaurant customers was selected, and the delivery time was recorded to the nearest minute.
Minutes:
5, 6, 7, 10, 6, 4, 7, 6, 8, 5, 11, 8, 7, 9, 7, 8, 8, 7, 9, 3
(A) Does the empirical evidence suggest that it takes significantly longer on average to service customers than the 7 minutes anticipated by the design team? Construct a 90% confidence interval a estimate of the average customer service delivery time at this restaurant. Interpret the meaning of the interval. Ensure that the interpretation of the results addresses the owner’s concerns. Please use clear, easy-to-understand, non-technical language.
(B) How would the consultant explain what they did in (A) to the restaurant’s design team - if they do not understand technical statistical language, and you have to explain in an easy-to-understand way?

Congratulations! You have just been appointed to a commission studying wage discrimination against women. Again, you have been pushed from the frying pan into the fire, as this is a sensitive topic. It is your role to give the background report to the commission, who will subsequently make some recommendations for anti-discrimination policy.
1) There are several theoretical models of labour market discrimination that seek to explain why men and women with equal productivity levels may not be paid the same. Briefly describe in intuitive terms the demand-side approach, the supply-side approach (the crowding hypothesis), and the non-competitive approach involving barriers to mobility.
2) It is true that, on average, women spend less time in the labour market gaining experience, on-the-job training, and other forms of human capital than men do, which is often tied to childbearing responsibilities. Some apologists claim that lower pay for women might be justified, as employers have less of an incentive to invest in workers with higher turnover. On the other hand, this line of reasoning has been countered by some analysts. What is the nature of the critique of those who disagree with the apologists? (An apologist would say that the pay differentials are justifiable based on productivity and that there is no direct discrimination against women.)
3) Empirical research on male-female earnings differentials is required to assess the validity of the models. The extent of the wage discrimination is typically measured by the so-called Oaxaca decomposition effect. Without getting into the technical details of this equation, explain the general idea of the procedure. You should describe the major elements. No graph is necessary.

Can you please solve this problem in java
lab 9b: MicroDB. In Lab9A, each method returned an integer. In this part of the lab, all methods will have a void return type and take in an array of integers as a parameter. You’re going to write a program that creates a mini database of numbers that allows the user to reset the database, print the database, add a number to the database, find the sum of the elements in the database, or quit. In main, you will declare an array of 10 integers (this is a requirement). Then you will define the following methods: • printArray (int[ ] arr) – this takes in an array and prints it • initArray (int[ ] arr) – this initializes the array so that each cell is 0 • printSum (int[ ] arr) – this calculates the sum of the elements in the array and prints it • enterNum(int[ ] arr) – this asks the user for a slot number and value – putting the value into the array in the correct slot • printMenu (int[ ] arr) – prints the menu in the sample output (that’s it, nothing more) Note: C++ folks – if you want to pass the size of the array as a second parameter, you can. In main, create an array of 10 integers and immediately call initArray( ). Then, continuously looping, print the menu and ask the user what they want to do – calling the appropriate methods based on the user’s choice. Note that every time you call a method, you must pass the array that was created in main. If it makes it easier, we used a do-while loop and a switch statement in main. In our implementation, main was only 15 lines of code.

Company XYZ owns a social network web site dedicated for wind surfers. They plan to launch a new online ad delivery and management service web site that will be coupled with their existing social network platform. The online ad management service will enable them to accept online orders for online ads from advertisers. The system will also deliver the ads to the main social network site. The ads will be displayed on the social network site but the content of the ads (the images and/or text objects containing the ad message) will be served by the new web site server. The company forecasts that the web site will receive an average of 10,000 visits from potential or current advertisers and 600 online ad purchase orders per week. They expect to have 30,000 registered online advertisers during the first month of the launch of the web site. Company XYZ dedicate a separate server and database for the new online service. The users of the ad management site and the users of the social network will be managed separately. The data of the two groups will be stored on separate databases. Similarly, web ad management site content and the social network site content will be hosted on separate servers. Company XYZ prefers to manage those two sites separately. The social network site will pull online ads from the database of the online ad management system. The users will experience a seamless presentation of ads within the social network pages without noticing the ads are fed from a different server.
Company XYZ awarded a contract to your company (Company ABC) to develop the web site, web service, and the database that will provide the capability of the online ad delivery and management service. You are the project manager of this project. Your task is to manage a team of three (one graphic designer, one database developer, and one software developer). As the project manager you are required to answer the following questions that provide insight about the project plan. Please respond to each question. There may be missing information. This is intentional. If you feel that there is missing information in any question, you are expected to make assumptions. Please state your assumptions clearly. You can use library and/or online information resources to address the questions. List all the information sources you use (use APA format for listing the references).
Using the drawing feature of Word or other software, create a site map of the online ad delivery service and management web site and the ad delivery web service. Show the hierarchy of pages and relationships between them. Include the database infrastructure in your depiction of your website. Explain each element. You can make any assumption about the specifics of the web site. Show the links between the social network site and the online ad management site that you will develop.
