1. Forum Discussion: Select ONE of the following prompts and write a 200-250 word essay.

A. Graphic Design
Graphic Design is an ever-growing occupation. All businesses use graphic designers, whether "in-house" or subcontractors from firms specializing in the industry. Business cards, logos, letterheads, etc. are used on a daily basis to communicate with others and advertise business. Look at some of the products around you--soap, beverages, fast food items, clothing. Each has a specific logo that you recognize. Pepsi has a circular object that vaguely resembles a yin/yang symbol. White Castle burgers are small and square with a castle as their logo.

Observe the items you consume each day. When you purchase the items how do you identify them in a store? What if the label had been changed, would you still recognize it?

Over time, most logos have changed; however, the changes have been so gradual you probably didn't notice. Select one product and write a 200-250 word essay about the history of its logo. How has it changed throughout time? Has the packaging also changed? How did the changes meet the needs of consumers? Did the newer designs appeal to consumers? Be sure to include images of the logo as it changed, and identify your sources.

Note : the Answers should be computerized and in your own words please

Case Study

This is from an old story, back in the ’30s, in the days when an ice cream sundae cost much less. A 10 year-old boy entered a hotel coffee shop and sat at a table. A waitress put a glass of water in front of him.

“How much is an ice cream sundae?” the little boy asked. “Fifty cents,” replied the waitress.

The little boy pulled his hand out of his pocket and studied the coins he had. “Well, how much is a plain dish of ice cream?” he inquired. By now, more people were waiting for a table and the waitress was growing very impatient. “Thirty-five cents,” she brusquely replied. The little boy again counted his coins. “I’ll have the plain ice cream,” he said. The waitress brought the ice cream, put the bill on the table and walked away. The boy finished the ice cream, paid the cashier and left. When the waitress came back, she began to cry. As she wiped down the table, there placed neatly beside the empty dish were two nickels and five pennies. You see, he couldn’t have the sundae because he had to have enough money to leave her a tip.

You are required to write a report on the following:

1.      Compare Vroom’s Expectancy theory against Maslow’s need theory. Interpret from the case the situations where Vroom’s expectancy theory of motivation has been used in this story.

2.      Present your case in the class justifying how communication plays a vital role in keeping employees motivated in your organization. Compare the communication styles.

One of the classic debates in the popular press is whether all buzz or word of mouth—positive and negative—is good for a brand. Some feel that “any press is good press” and that if people are talking, that is a good thing. Others challenge that notion and say the content of the dialogue is what really matters.

Take a position: “All news is good news” and any buzz is helpful for a brand versus. The content of buzz can make or break a brand.

give example of calculation of a Normal Probability.

The height of a 10-year-old girl. According to the National Center of Health Statistics, X~N(54.5, (1.24)^2 ).

The height of a 10-year-old boy. According to the National Center of Health Statistics, Y~N(54.1, (2.4)^2 ).

Find the probability that a randomly chosen 10-year-old girl will be taller than a randomly chosen 10-year-old boy.

Can you solve it using normal probability please?

The Genetics & IVF Institute conducted a clinical trial of the YSORT method designed to increase the probability of conceiving a boy. As of this writing, 291 babies were born to parents using the YSORT method, and 239 of them were boys. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that the YSORT method is effective in increasing the likelihood that a baby will be a boy

Calculate np and nq

If we assume the selected sample is a simple random sample, then all of the requirements, in this case, are met to conduct the hypothesis test. True or False

2. Suppose body mass index (BMI) varies approximately to the normal distribution in a population of boys aged 2-20 years. A national survey analyzed the BMI for American adolescents in this age range and found the µ=17.8 and the σ=1.9. a) What is the 25th percentile of this distribution? (1 point) b) What is the z-score corresponding to finding a boy with at least a BMI of 19.27? (2 points) c) What is the probability of finding a boy with at least this BMI? (2 points)
