The text discusses three kinds of organizational structures: matrix, boundary-less, and learning. In a 2-page paper answer the following questions: What is a challenge to reporting to more than one manager in a matrix organization? What might be a benefit? What do you think are the advantages and disadvantages of being employed by a boundary-less organization? What is a main cost of maintaining an organizational learning environment? What is the greatest benefit? Which kind of organization would you like to work for? Why?

Full-time college students report spending a mean of 32 hours per week on academic activities, both inside and outside the classroom. Assume the standard deviation of time spent on academic activities is 6 hours.

If you select a random sample of 25 full-time college students, what is the probability that the mean time spent on academic activities is at least 30 hours per week?

Do new entrants and employees affect the Healthcare industry for the years 2000-2018?

Dependent variable - industry's revenue

Independent variable - the number of new entrants and employees + omitted variables

Using the above table create:

- Hypothesis testing

- P-value

- T-test

- Level of significance

- Scatter Plot

- Regression analysis

1. From the table below giving the quantity demanded of a commodity (Y), its price (X10, and consumer income (X2) from 1996 to 2015,

1. Find the least-squares regression equation of Y on X1 and X2 USING EXCEL’S DATA ANALYSIS TOOL.
2. Test at the 5 percent for the statistical significance of the slope parameters,
3. Find the adjusted and the adjusted coefficients of determination, and
4. Test at 5 percent level for the overall statistical significance of the regression.

Show all your results to three decimal places.

13. Given the following data on the Dollar/Pound exchange rate (y) and the U.S. CPI (x), determine the linear regression equation, and include the Summary Output from Excel. • Based on the Summary Output is the coefficient b2 significant using the t-table (one-tail) at the 5% level with n-2 df? Prove your answer using data from the t-table. • Does the relationship given by the regression equation seem to be a reasonable economic model-- is it reasonable to assume that in this model y = f(x)? Explain why or why not. y x Period Exchange rate $ / £ CPI US 1985 1.2974 107.6 1986 1.4677 109.6 1987 1.6398 113.6 1988 1.7813 118.3 1989 1.6382 124 1990 1.7841 130.7 1991 1.7674 136.2 1992 1.7663 140.3 1993 1.5016 144.5 1994 1.5319 148.2 1995 1.5785 152.4 1996 1.5607 156.9 1997 1.6376 160.5 1998 1.6573 163 1999 1.6172 166.6 2000 1.5156 172.2 2001 1.4396 177.1 2002 1.5025 179.9 2003 1.6347 184 2004 1.833 188.9 2005 1.8204 195.3 2006 1.8434 201.6 2007 2.002 207.342

When performing calculations in the following problems, use the numbers in the table as-is. I.e., do NOT convert 8.5985 to 8.5985% (or 0.085985). Just use plain 8.5985.

1. Compute the Sortino Ratio of the portfolio using a minimal acceptable return of R M A = 3 . To calculate DDp :

1. Compute R p − R M A each year.
2. n = number of years R p − R M A < 0 .
3. DD p = square root of 1/ n− 1 ∑ ( R p − R M A )^2 for the years when R p − R M A < 0
