Is it ever morally obligatory to break a promise?

If you answer “yes” to #5, what are the conditions that render promise-breaking morally obligatory?

The brightness of sunlight at the earth's surface changes over time depending on whether the earth's atmosphere is more or less clear. Sunlight dimmed between 1960 and 1990. After 1990, air pollution dropped in industrial countries. Did sunlight brighten? Here are data and scatterplot from Boulder, Colorado, averaging over only clear days each year. (Other locations show similar trends.) The response variable is solar radiation in watts per square meter. Year 1992 1993 1994 1995 1996 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 Sun 244 246.8 248.3 250.4 250.5 250.5 250.5 248.8 251.3 251.7 250.8 Has sunlight brightened overall? No Yes What is the best word to describe the type of relationship? Curved Linear What is the correlation between the year and sun brightness (round your answer to at least two decimal places.)

A national trend predicts that women will account for half of all business travelers in the next 3 years. To attract these women business travelers, hotels are providing more amenities that women particularly like. A recent survey of American hotels found that 60% offer hairdryers in the bathrooms. Consider a random and independent sample of 15 hotels.

1. Find the probability that at least 9 of the hotels in the sample do not offer hairdryers in the bathrooms. (4 pts)

2. Find the probability that more than 6 but less than 14 of the hotels in the sample offered hairdryers in the bathrooms. (4 pts)

NOTE: CLEARLY SHOW YOUR SOLUTIONS FOR EACH.

Here’s what happened at ACME Manufacturing Company*:

ACME makes shock absorbers for the Mercedes manufacturing facility and for a few other customers. Two days before the auditors arrived to count ending inventory, the plant manager told the warehouse employees to load four tractor trailers with shock absorbers, lock them and park the trailers on the back lot.   After giving those instructions she said: “If anyone mentions this to the auditors, I will find out who you are and fire you!”   So, no one said a word.

Mercedes uses Just-in-Time for its inventory system.

ACME's terms for shipping and billing are FOB shipping point, prepaid and add.

Why did the manager order employees to hide the inventory?

How does what she did affect the financial statements?
