This assignment requires you to look at one interface for a product of your choice, identify what it was developed for, and then trace back its history (to the origin if possible) to look for similar solutions. This way you'll be clearer what the original problem is and how human through out history has managed it. You'll see that whole or part of the very early solutions seem to stay in most of the newer solutions, and you'll be able to identify and explain which solution are more effective than others; and you'll probably can predict how the next generation of solution would be.

For example, if you look at the phone today and some of the phones have been in the market in the last 50 years, You'll see there are some common functionality, interface, and user's interactions. If you keep tracing back, you'll know why telephone was invented and the reason why it works in a certain way. Ask yourself, what human had used to accomplish similar tasks the phone provides them before it was invented. You'll get the entire picture.

(a) What is the original problem/task/need that human had that led to the invention of the discussed technology? (b) What had human used / or handle their corresponding tasks before the invention of the technology you've addressed (c) Would the original problem/task/need changes or remains the same in the modern day?

9(A). AI is highly objective in decision making as it analyzes based on purely
gathered data. However, human’s decision may be influenced by
subjective elements which are not based on figures alone. You are hereby
requested to analyze (in ten points) the concept of ‘objectivity’ and
‘subjectivity’ in relation to data gathering in the statement given; for
Human Teller and Automated Teller machines (ATM).


(b)AI often produces accurate results as it functions based on a set of
programmed rules. As for human intelligence, there is usually a room for
human errors” as certain details may be missed at one point or the other.
Justify in ten points how you can relate the statement to decision making
algorithms.

(c) The human brain uses about 25watts while modern computers only
generally use 2 watts in normal information processing. If this normality
becomes the other way instead, give in five points what could be the
reasons in each case of swap.

Imperial Jewelers manufactures and sells a gold bracelet for $404.00. The company’s accounting system says that the unit product cost for this bracelet is $261.00 as shown below: Direct materials $ 142 Direct labor 88 Manufacturing overhead 31 Unit product cost $ 261 The members of a wedding party have approached Imperial Jewelers about buying 23 of these gold bracelets for the discounted price of $364.00 each. The members of the wedding party would like special filigree applied to the bracelets that would require Imperial Jewelers to buy a special tool for $457 and that would increase the direct materials cost per bracelet by $6. The special tool would have no other use once the special order is completed. To analyze this special order opportunity, Imperial Jewelers has determined that most of its manufacturing overhead is fixed and unaffected by variations in how much jewelry is produced in any given period. However, $7.00 of the overhead is variable with respect to the number of bracelets produced. The company also believes that accepting this order would have no effect on its ability to produce and sell jewelry to other customers. Furthermore, the company could fulfill the wedding party’s order using its existing manufacturing capacity. Required: 1. What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of accepting the special order from the wedding party? 2. Should the company accept the special order?

(2) Based on the t-test, what is your decision (“reject” or “do not reject”) regarding the null hypothesis that the two population means are equal to each other? Indicate on which part of the Excel output you base your decision.

(3) Explain what the decision in part (b), i.e., “rejecting H0” or “not rejecting H0” means in this context at a level that can be understood by a high school senior.

Consider the following data for 15 subjects with two predictors. The dependent variable, MARK, is the total score for a subject on an examination. The first predictor, COMP, is the score for the subject on a so-called compulsory paper. The other predictor, CERTIF, is the score for the subject on a previous exam.

b.Does CERTIF add anything to predicting MARK, above and beyond that of COMP?

c. Write out the prediction equation

d. A statistician wishes to know the sample size needed in a multiple regression study. She has four predictors and can tolerate at most a .10 drop-off in predictive power. But she wants this to be the case with .95 probability. From previous related research, the estimated squared population multiple correlation is .62. How many subjects are needed?
