Many female undergraduates at four-year colleges switch from STEM majors into disciplines that are not science-based, thereby contributing to the underrepresentation of women in STEM fields. When female undergrads switch majors, are their reasons different from those of their male counterparts? This question was investigated in Science Education. A sample of 335 junior/senior undergraduates- 172 females and 163 males- at two large research universities were identified as “switchers”, that is they left a declared STEM major for a non-STEM major. Each student listed one or more factors that contributed to the switching decision.

(a) Of the 172 females in the sample, 74 listed lack or loss of interest in STEM (i.e., “turned off” by science) as a major factor, compared to 72 of the 163 males. Conduct a test (at α = .10) to determine whether the proportion of female switchers who give “lack of interest in STEM” as a major reason for switching differs from the corresponding proportion of males.

(b) Thirty–three of the 172 females in the sample indicated that they were discouraged or lost confidence because of low grades in STEM during their early years, compared to 44 of 163 males. Construct a 90 % confidence interval for the difference between the proportions of female and male switchers who lost confidence due to low grades in STEM. Interpret the result.

Stock Market Valuation and Success - IPO

The business I’ve chosen is DocuSign Inc (DOCU). The company makes software for digitally signing documents, and has been on CNBC’s list of startups revolutionizing the technology industry three times. They went public in April 2018 after raising $629.3 million in IPO. The stock opened at $38 per share, above the estimates of between $24 and $26 per share, and closed at $39.73 per share. DocuSign planned to offer 16.1 million shares but initially sold 21.7 million shares giving them a total of 152.1 million shares, valuing the company at $4.41 billion, which is above the original $3 billion valuation estimated. The IPO money has been spent on major investments in infrastructure and security, and creating a company culture that’ll attract top talent (Novet, 2018).

The market at the time seemed very favorable for the tech company’s. DocuSign was the eighth cloud based company to go public in 2018 following Dropbox and Zscaler Inc. In recent years leading up to going public in 2018 the company struggled with revenue loss, but its revenue has risen 39% overall. The revenue losses have been $52 million for the fiscal year ending 2017, $115 million in 2016, and $123 million in 2015. In good news for shareholders the revenue in fiscal year 2019 was over $700 million and the company grew 35%. There was some fear the company may not be profitable in the future because most of their revenue is from customer subscriptions, but they’ve done a good job at partnering with companies to use their services creating more revenue, and more profit value for shareholders (Bary, 2018).
