Part 1 On Tuesday, November 3, 1970, the Center for Disease Control (CDC) in Atlanta received the weekly telegram of surveillance data from the Texas State Health Department. The telegram reported 319 cases of measles in the state during the previous week. In contrast, Texas had reported an average of 26 cases per week during the previous four weeks. In follow-up telephone calls, CDC learned from state health officials that 295 cases of measles had been diagnosed in the city of Texarkana, including 25 in children that were reported to have been previously immunized. An invitation to investigate the situation was extended to the CDC on November 4, 1970. An EIS officer departed for Texarkana early on November 5. Background Texarkana is a city of roughly 50,000 that straddles the Texas-Arkansas state line. Texarkana, Texas (Bowie County), had a population of 29,393 in the 1960 census; the population had been stable during the 1960s. Texarkana, Arkansas (Miller County), had a 1960 population of 21,088. Although Texarkana is divided by the state line, it is a single town economically and socially. Persons of all ages on both sides of town have frequent contact. Churches, physicians, offices, movie theatres, and stores draw people from both the Arkansas and Texas sides of town. People cross the state line to attend social functions such as football games and school dances. Many families have friends and relatives who visit back and forth on both sides of town. Private nurseries and kindergartens receive children from both sides of town. The two sides of Texarkana, however, do have separate public school systems and separate public health departments. Please answer the following questions and upload your document with your responses: Question 1: List the reasons to investigate a suspected outbreak. Which reasons may have prompted an investigation of this outbreak? Question 2a: What would be the initial steps of your investigation, i.e., the steps before trying to find additional cases? Question 2b: How might you look for additional cases? Question 2c: Once you collected information about the cases, how would you characterize the outbreak?

Nora has some questions for you regarding her individual tax return and C-C Bakery. Her business has been doing extremely well, and she has decided to give back to her community. She would like to contribute $70,000 in December of 2016 to the charitable and nonprofit Boys and Girls Club. She would like to know if she should contribute this from her business account or her individual account. She would also like to know if there are any tax advantages or limitations. Her bakery has been profitable, as her taxable income is projected to be around $500,000 on her 2016 tax return. Her adjusted gross income on her individual return will be around $350,000. She has made no further charitable contributions throughout the year. In a short memo, advise how she can take advantage of the deduction for the charitable contributions to her community via her individual return and/or corporate return.

The upcoming championship high school football game is a big deal in your little town. The problem is, it is being played in the next biggest town, which is two hours away! To get as many people as you can to attend the game, you decide to come up with a ride-sharing app, but you want to be sure it will be used before you put all the time in to creating it. You determine that if more than three students share a ride, on average, you will create the app.

You conduct simple random sampling of 20 students in a school with a population of 300 students to determine how many students are in each ride-share (carpool) on the way to school every day to get a good idea of who would use the app. The following data are collected:

• 6 5 5 5 3 2 3 6 2 2
• 5 4 3 3 4 2 5 3 4 5

You and your partner will construct a 90% confidence interval and 95% confidence interval for the mean number of students who share a ride to school, then you will compare and interpret the results.

Part A: Decide which partner will construct each confidence interval, and then state the parameter and check the conditions. (Individual work)

Part B: Construct the confidence interval. Be sure to show all your work, including the degrees of freedom, critical value, sample statistics, and an explanation of your process. (Individual work)

Part C: Interpret, share, and compare. Interpret the meaning of the confidence interval, compare your results with your partner, and describe the difference in the width of the interval and the margin of error. (Collaborative work)

Part D: Use your findings to explain whether you should develop the ride-share app for the football game.

GfK, a European custom marketing research company, conducted a two-year, two-part study to determine the new trends in European youth and culture—what matters to European teenagers, and lows international marketers should approach them. Exploratory research form of focus groups watt conducted first to identify issues that are salient to European youths the issues in focus groups were quantified by conducting a descriptive longitudinal survey. The survey was conducted in two parts spanning 16 different European countries, including Denmark, Norway, Sweden, the United Kingdom; Germany, Italy, Spain, and France, among others. In each country, four groups of respondents were selected; 14-16-year-old girls, 14-16-year-old boys, 17-20-year-old girls, and 17-20-year-old boys. A descriptive survey was designed and administered in personal, face-to-face settings. Given the European youth culture, it was felt that the teens would feel more comfortable and be able to provide more candid responses in a personal setting. A total of 523 young people participated. Two years later, the same people were contacted in 9 of the 16 countries, with a total of 305 people participating. The results showed that tastes and opinions of teenagers in Europe have been changing dramatically over the past few years and particularly during the last two years. It was discovered that European teen;; did not trust big companies. The concept of home included not only the family and actual home dwelling, but a sense of belonging and community, especially with friends. It is a symbol of coziness and warmth. The European teens did not see their families much during the week. Instead, friends filled this home function. Finally, they did put a lot of stock in a brand that has been around for a long time, feeling that if the brand has proven its existence over time, it must be good and worth; of its long stay. The results proved very beneficial for McDonald's (www.mcdonalds.com) in developing their inter national advertising aimed at this market. McDonald's new campaign did not focus on its big-company' status but localized its advertising to make it seem to be the local hamburger hangout joint for teens. Meeting up with friends at the local McDonald's made the McDonald's "home." It appeared to fun, and the teens wanted to be there. Additionally, McDonald's focused on the longevity and stability of the brand. It will always be around as a fun place where teens can hang out with their friends anti have fun for a low price. The campaign resulted in increased mark- share in the lucrative European teenage market. As of 2009, McDonald's derived more than 35 percent of its total sales froth Europe.
