With double-digit annual percentage increases in the cost of health insurance, more and more workers are likely to lack health insurance coverage (USA Today, January 23, 2004). The following sample data provide a comparison of workers with and without health insurance coverage for small, medium, and large companies. For the purposes of this study, small companies are companies that have fewer than 100 employees. Medium companies have 100 to 999 employees, and large companies have 1000 or more employees. Sample data are reported for 50 employees of small companies, 75 employees of medium companies, and 100 employees of large companies.

1. Compute the X²  test statistic:

2. What is the P-Value? (Using a Chi-Square table)

3.What can we conclude?

4. The USA Today article indicated employees of small companies are more likely to lack health insurance coverage. Calculate the percentages of employees without health insurance based on company size (to the nearest whole number).

5. Based on the Calculated percentages, what can we conclude?

First read the following NYTimes article by Mr. Thomas Friedman (2005) titled "It's a Flat World, After All"  https://www.nytimes.com/2005/04/03/magazine/its-a-flat-world-after-all.html

Finally, imagine that you are leading a course for employees to assist in your current/future company’s expansion into a new country. Use a clear example to develop an explanation of the term globalization as it applies to international business for your employees. You should use one paragraph to define the term globalization in your own words based on your understanding from the above article and video, followed by a second paragraph to describe your specific example.

The following information is used for the following two questions.

On 12/31/X2, Slim stock traded at $21 per share. Based on this information, Meridian's investments in Slim should be reported at which of the following amounts on 12/31/X2?

Select one:

a. $125,000

One can find out date of the month when someone was born by asking five questions. Each question asks whether the day is in one of the five sets of numbers below

1 3 5 7          2 3   6   7             4 5   6 7             8 9 10 11           16 17 18 19

9 11 13 15                  10 11 14 15          12 13 14 15          12 13 14 15          20 21 22 23

   Set1                              Set 2                      Set 3                    Set 4                    Set 5         

The birthday is the sum of the first numbers in the set where the day appears. For example, if the birthday is 19, it appears in Set 1, Set 2, and Set 5.

The first numbers in these three sets are 1, 2, and 16 whose sum is 19.

Write a C++ program using arrays that prompts the user to answer whether the day is in Sets 1‐5. If the number is in the particular set, the program adds the first number in the sets to calculate the day of the month. An array must be used in the problem. Refer to the sample output below.

1. Net Present Value MethodA series of equal cash flows at fixed intervals.—Annuity

   Briggs Excavation Company is planning an investment of $153,700 for a bulldozer. The bulldozer is expected to operate for 1,000 hours per year for seven years. Customers will be charged $130 per hour for bulldozer work. The bulldozer operator costs $34 per hour in wages and benefits. The bulldozer is expected to require annual maintenance costing $10,000. The bulldozer uses fuel that is expected to cost $45 per hour of bulldozer operation.
