Colleen is the marketing manager for Virtually Viral, an entertainment company that collects viral videos from around the Internet and aggregates them on their website. Whether it’s videos of cats or unusual marriage proposals, Virtually Viral collects them all. Almost all of Virtually Viral’s revenue comes from clicks on advertisements surrounding the videos. To maximize profits, Colleen tries to match ad content to video content. For example, for the ‘Wacky Weddings’ section of the website, most advertisements link to wedding planners and invitation/paper product suppliers. As part of this effort, Colleen contracted a web design firm to put together a new look for the website, with the goal of improving the amount of time visitors spend on the website. They produced four different versions, each arranging the videos and advertisements differently. Colleen is unsure which of these designs would result in the greatest amount of time spent on the site. To solve this problem, Colleen designs an experiment. She sets up a system to randomly assign visitors to the website to experience one of the four designs, recording the number of seconds that they spend on the site. She wants to compare the groups with each other and see if the different designs result in different lengths of time viewing the website. Whichever results in the longest visits will become the new design for the site in general. She knows from Chapter 7 that she has a research question and that this calls for some type of hypothesis testing. In Chapter 9, she learned that treating groups differently and comparing them means that she has independent data. But the independent-samples t-test only compares two groups with each other and she has four. Should she run multiple independent-samples t-tests? Or is there a better way?

Roderick Cardwell owns Ticketworld, which sells tickets to entertainment and sporting events to be held at locations throughout the United States. Ticketworld's Massachusetts office sold tickets to an event in Connecticut to Mary Lou Lupovitch, a Connecticut resident, for 125$ per ticket, although each ticket had a fixed price of 32.50$. There was no aagreement that Ticketworld would bear the risk of loss until the tickets were delivered to a specific location. Ticketworld gave the tickets to a carrier in Massachusetts who delivered the tickets to Lupovitch in Connecticut. The state of Connecticut brouht action against Cardell in a Connecticut state court, charging part a violation of a state statute that prohibited the sale of a ticket for more than 3# over its fixed price. Cardwell contended in part that the statute did not apply because the sale of Lupovitch involved a shipment contract that was formed outside the state. Is Cardwell correct? How will the court rule? Why?

Revenue Cycle Management
Data is collected at each step of the revenue cycle, and an error
or lack of action at any step in the cycle may result in delayed or
lost revenue.
Discuss three steps in the revenue cycle, explaining
what action occurs; provide an example for each step.
Describe a negative result, for each of your selected
three steps, which may occur if the action is completed incorrectly
or not at all.
Select one impact, from those you identified, and
apply a policy which notes the process to be taken to prevent or
minimize future occurrences of the noted negative event.
