A person can take either of two routes to work, through Matteson or Richton Park. Both take on average 35 minutes, and travel times are Normally distributed. But are the variances of the travel times different? A random sample with n = 8 using the Matteson route, and another random sample with n = 6 using the Richton Park route, showed a variance of 45 (units: square minutes) and 30 respectively. To test whether the variances are different, the following test of hypothesis should be done:

Hotel housekeeping staff are paid minimum wage and receive almost no tips as most travelers either...

Hotel housekeeping staff are paid minimum wage and receive almost no tips as most travelers either do not tip or are “not aware” that tipping housekeeping staff is a commonly accepted practice. Further, housekeeping staff are typically operating on a strict time schedule and must complete their assigned tasks on schedule which further adds stress to their job.

A quote from the travel magazine Budget Travel in which a housekeeper relates:

I cut corners everywhere I could. Instead of vacuuming, I found that just picking up the larger crumbs from the carpet would do. Rather that scrub the tub with hot water, sometimes it was just a spray-and-wipe kind of day… After several weeks on the job, I discovered that the staff leader who inspected the rooms couldn’t tell the difference between a clean sink and one that was simply dry, so I would often just run a rag over the wet spots… I apologize to you now if you every stayed in one of my rooms. You deserved better. But if housekeepers were paid more than minimum wage – and the tips were a bit better – I might have cleaned your toilet rather than just flushed it.

What would you suggest hotel managers and/or owners do to minimize or eliminate this behavior by housekeeping staff? If this is a Principal / Agent problem what solution can be made to stop this and why?

Newcastle Coal Co. (NCC) recently offered a bond issue in which the bonds can be surrendered prior to maturity in exchange for cash if the company undertakes certain specified actions or if specified events occur. This is an example of what type of bond?

Jackson County wants to renovate a local municipal park. The county commissioners think that the renovations will help attract more people to its facilities (including an aquatic center and tennis courts). There are fees attached to using these facilities, and the commission is confident that the additional revenue will more than justify these improvements. The county wants to issue bonds to pay for the renovations, and the bondholders will be paid from the cash flow generated by the park. This is an example of what type of bond?

Last year, Newcastle Coal Co. (NCC) sold an issue of bonds that are secured by the firm’s real property and real estate. Under the terms of the issue’s indenture, however, in the event of default, bondholders will not receive any proceeds of the sale of the underlying collateral until the company’s first (or senior) bondholders are paid. What type of bonds did Newcastle Coal Co. (NCC) issue last year?

Write a program in Java Using object Orientation Design to determine the status of Mini Van Sliding Doors. A logical circuit receives a different binary code to allow opening different doors. The doors can be opened by a dashboard switch, inside or outside handle. The inside handle will not open the door if the child safety lock is on or the master lock is on. The gear shift must be in the park to open the door.

  1. A method must be written to indicate the gear shift status and return to main.
  2. A method to display which door is open or can be opened.
  3. A method to show the status of all doors
  4. A method to convert the code to decimal and store in the text file (Character based) as a record.

** MUST USE constructors and methods. The methods should be instantiated by an object. Use simple main. The first bit Stream must be entered by users. The program needs to be interactive

I drive to school and am currently looking for a parking spot so I can walk...

I drive to school and am currently looking for a parking spot so I can walk to Jacob's. If I turn into a parking lot to look for a spot to park in that specific lot, the process of looking for a spot takes 1 minute of time whether I find a spot or not.  

Parking lot A is closest to Jacobs. If I get a spot here, it takes me 1 minute to walk into my class at the business school, however there is only a 10% chance I'll find a spot if I look.

Parking lot B is a 4-minute walk; if I pull in to look for a spot, there is a 30% chance I'll find a spot.

Parking lot C is an 8-minute walk; if I pull in to look for a spot, there is a 100% chance I will find a spot.  

Which strategy to find a parking spot is best for me (ie. which order should I check the parking lots for spots to park), assuming we are risk-neutral, and simply want to have the earliest expected arrival time to Jacob’s as possible? (Another way to say this is we want the smallest expected value of time spent getting to Hall).

Now, assume I am risk averse (let’s say that in this second case, my class starts in 10 minutes, and there is a large decrease in my utility if I am late for class). Is the best strategy the same as when I am risk-neutral, or has it changed?

The Business School at State University currently has three parking lots, each containing 155 spaces. Two hundred faculty members have been assigned to each lot. On a peak day, an average of 70% of all lot 1 parking sticker holders show up, an average of 72% of all lot 2 parking sticker holders show up, and an average of 74% of all lot 3 parking sticker holders show up.

a. Given the current situation, estimate the probability that on a peak day, at least one faculty member with a sticker will be unable to find a spot. Assume that the number who show up at each lot is independent of the number who show up at the other two lots. Compare two situations: (1) each person can park only in the lot assigned to him or her, and (2) each person can park in any of the lots (pooling). (Hint: Use the RISKBINOMIAL function.) If needed, round your answer to a whole percentage and if your answer is zero, enter "0".

No pooling: %
Pooling: %

b. Now suppose the numbers of people who show up at the three lots are highly correlated (correlation 0.9). How are the results different from those in part a? If needed, round your answer to a whole percentage.
