The lecturer claims that the underlying true average mark for this exam is 67. The lecturer wants to test if the new cohort marks (sample mean: 52.222, sample variance: 153.651, n: 130) support this hypothesis. The minimum and maximum marks in the new cohort are 27.421 and 76.607 respectively.
a. Write down the null and alternative hypothesis we would use to test the lecturers claim that the true average mark is 67.
b. What are the assumptions for conducting a hypothesis test around this data? Are these satisfied? You may assume that more than 1300 students take the course each year.
c. Calculate the p-value for your hypothesis.
d. What is the conclusion for your hypothesis test?

Prof. Weiner is interested in analyzing the distribution of the variable X=’grading in Microeconomics for Policy Analysis’. He collected administrative information from the School from 1990 to 2010 and based on this data he concludes X follows a normal distribution with mean 75 and variance 30.
2.1 What is the probability that a typical student from the current cohort enrolled in Microeconomics for Policy Analysis receives a grade above 80?
2.2 Between what values will the grades of 95% of all students in the current cohort fall?
2.3 Find the value that represents the 25th and 75th percentile of this distribution. Then, find the interquartile range. Can a student who got 45 be considered a potential outlier?

Higher unemployment caused by the recession and higher gasoline prices have contributed to a substantial reduction during 2008 in the number of vehicles on roads, bridges, and in tunnels. According to The Wall Street Journal (April 28, 2009), the reduction in demand for toll bridge and tunnel crossing created a serious revenue problem for many cities. In New York, the number of vehicles traveling across bridges and through tunnels fell from 23.6 million in January 2008 to 21.9 million in January 2009. “That drop presents a challenge, because road tolls subsidize MTA subways, which are more likely to be used as people get out of their cars.” In an apparent attempt to rise toll revenue, the MTA increased tolls by 10 percent on the nine crossings it controls.

Experiment 1
Find a web-based system with simple functions that you are familiar with, use natural language to describe the customer’s requirements.
User requirements are statements, in natural language plus diagrams, of the services the system provides and its operational constraints. They are written for customers. Requirements elicitation, sometimes called requirements discovery, involves technical staff working with customers to find out about the application domain, the services that the system should provide and the system’s operational constraints. Interviewing and Ethnography are two approaches to requirements elicitation. But People find it easier to relate to real-life examples than abstract descriptions. Scenarios and user stories are real-life examples of how a system can be used. They are a description of how a system may be used for a particular task. Because they are based on a practical situation, stakeholders can relate to them and can comment on their situation with respect to the story. As an example of a scenario, the following figure describes what happens when a student uploads photos to the KidsTakePics system.
In this experiment, you need to describe the five most important user requirements in the system. The format of your requirements description is as follows:
Experiment 1
URL of your selected web-based system:
xxx
User requirement 1:xxx (name of this requirement)
Descriptions:
xxx xxx
User requirement 2:xxx (name of this requirement)
Descriptions:
xxx xxx
……
User requirement 5:xxx (name of this requirement)
Descriptions:

Message Strategies: Informational Reports [LO-1] Find an article in a business newspaper or journal (in print or online) that recommends a solution to a problem. Identify the problem, the recommended solution(s), and the supporting evidence provided by the author to justify his or her recommendation(s). Did the author cite any formal or informal studies as evidence? What facts or statistics did the author include? Did the author cite any criteria for evaluating possible options? If so, what were they?
