A research laboratory was developing a new compound for the relief of severe cases of hay fever. In an experiment with 36 volunteers, the amounts of the two active ingredients (A & B) in the compound were varied at three levels each. Randomization was used in assigning four volunteers to each of the nine treatments. The data on hours of relief can be found in the following .csv file: Fever.csv

State the Null and Alternate Hypothesis for conducting one-way ANOVA for both the variables ‘A’ and ‘B’ individually.

1.2) Perform one-way ANOVA for variable ‘A’ with respect to the variable ‘Relief’. State whether the Null Hypothesis is accepted or rejected based on the ANOVA results.

1.3) Perform one-way ANOVA for variable ‘B’ with respect to the variable ‘Relief’. State whether the Null Hypothesis is accepted or rejected based on the ANOVA results.

1.4) Analyse the effects of one variable on another with the help of an interaction plot.
What is an interaction between two treatments?
[hint: use the ‘pointplot’ function from the ‘seaborn’ function]

1.5) Perform a two-way ANOVA based on the different ingredients (variable ‘A’ & ‘B’) with the variable 'Relief' and state your results.

1.6) Mention the business implications of performing ANOVA for this particular case study.

You are a professor of statistics and have been asked to teach a course in social science statistics off-campus to a class of grad students enrolled in the Continuing Education Program of the University. Since you’ve never taught this program before, you don’t know a great deal about the needs and background of the students in the class. In order to learn more, you hand out a survey to each student asking for information on the following variables: age, undergraduate field, number of stats courses taken, and the level of interest in conducting research (coded as low, medium, high). The results are below:

Analyze your data to give you some useful information about the class. In doing so you need to answer a few things: the level of measurement of the variables, meaningful measures of central tendency for each variable (there can be more than one), the calculated measure of central tendency for each variable (there can be more than one). In order to do that, populate the following table:

Based on the data you collected, calculate the measures of dispersion (specifically the range, variance and standard deviation) for each of the variables that are at the interval level of measurement.

Since all of your data, your measures of central tendency and measures of dispersion. brief paragraph explaining the results of your survey paying special attention to what you, as the instructor, would find useful to bear in mind as you conduct the class. Address each variable, meaningful measures of central tendency for each (providing brief mention as to why you think which are the most useful), and measures of dispersion (where appropriate). You can include graphical representations of the data where it would help to defend the answer.

You are field manager for the general contractor on a multi-story office building under construction. The project has risen all 15 floors above the foundation. The roof is on and the exterior façade of the structure, consisting of alternating blue glass ribbon windows and red granite panels, has “dried in” the project many weeks ago. On the third, seventh and fifteenth floors, the executive offices located on the corners of the building have blue glass doors that lead outside to small balconies. Interior work (walls, electricity, hvac, water, sewer, sprinker, suspended ceiling, millwork, carpet, etc.) is well under way on several of the lower floors. After carefully checking the blueprints, shop drawings and bulletin drawings completed and approved by Architects & Engineers, the superintendent for the plumbing contractor stops by your office to mention that the design doesn’t seem to provide for floor drains on the exterior balconies. A quick conversation with the architect reveals that a serious design error has occurred. Floor drains and the necessary piping will need to be retrofitted that tie-in to the vertical pipe for the roof drain, located near the center of the building. There is vertical air space (plenum) available (approx. 2 feet) on each floor between the bottom of the concrete floor slab above and the top of the ceiling grid that can be used to route the connecting pipes to each balcony drain. However, many specialty contractors have already installed their work on several floors in the plenum space. Another problem is the length of connecting piping needed for each balcony drain. Following the minimum slope for the drain pipe allowed by building code, the distance is so great from each balcony to the vertical roof drain in the center of the building that the connecting pipe would be visible below the ceiling grid, which is not acceptable to the project owner. So, the piping for each balcony drain will have to be routed at the minimum slope above the ceiling grid partway to an interior column, where a vertical pipe and floor penetration will be needed. Each balcony drain pipe will continue in the plenum space on the floor below in order to reach the roof drain. The vertical piping next to certain interior columns can be hidden with studs and drywall. In this manner, each of the retrofitted balcony drains can connect to the vertical roof drain pipe without being visible in the interior office space on each floor.

List Five things/actions that you as a Manager could do to keep the project going and solve the problem as well as what parts and how could your Schedule be affected:

Another Problem would be Who Pays: Who and Why?

1. In 2015, countries around the world agreed to develop a new set of global goals to eradicate extreme poverty and achieve sustainable development by 2030 through 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for the future of the world. No goal or target is considered met unless met for all people, whoever and wherever they are.

a) Briefly explain what the concept of sustainable development means.

b) Illustrate the three pillar model of sustainability. Comment on some of the challenges for sustainable development in our country and suggest a way to overcome the same.

c) The SDG #7 is to ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all.

(i) Differentiate between conventional and non-conventional energy sources. Which will you support? Why?

(ii) Going green can reduce the overall energy use. Mention any two strategies that you could adopt to meet the sustainability benchmarks.

2. Air pollution in Asia has worsened since 2000 and is responsible for deaths of thousands of people in Beijing, Jakarta, Seoul and Manila. The pollution is a result of the use of fossil fuels by the industry and transport sectors. The problem got aggravated in Asia due to the use of poor quality fuel, inefficient method of energy production, use of vehicles in poor condition and traffic congestion. This was revealed during a research conducted by World Bank and Stockholm Development Institute. The research states that air pollution in the continent has surpassed the combined emissions in Europe and North America. The deaths caused by fine particulate matter far exceed those caused by sulphur dioxide, nitrogen oxide, ozone and lead. The health cost in major Asian cities now exceed for 15-18 percent of urban income expenditure, claims World Bank officials.

a) A comprehensive campaign to address air pollution need to be launched through school children, what programme (one) would you envisage for this. What is outcome anticipated?

b) There is a sudden decision to remove all vehicles from the road that fails to meet specified norms of emission level within a specified time period. As part of citizen forum you are requested to give views on the enforced regulation. State your views on this.

c) A massive campaign on environmental degradation is to be initiated. Bring out a slogan and the key message that need to be addressed.

d) Suppose you are a Carbon Credit Auditor appointed to assess the greenhouse gas emission reduction strategies. Identify a component of assessment and brief the methodology that could be adopted in connection with this.

Mr. Marcotte was at Joel’s Little League game last week where he ran into one of the other parents, who seemed to
be in a very upbeat mood. Mr. Richards could not seem to stop talking about his windfall in the past week on some
stocks he had bought in the last month or so. Since Mr. Marcotte is still new to the investing game, he seemed to be
somewhat overwhelmed with some of the terms like stock splits, P/E ratios, dividend payout that Mr. Richards was
using to explain his success story. Moreover, Martin Marcotte has always assumed that one needs to have a sizable
amount to invest in the stock market, not to mention the inherent risk involved in the equities market. It has not
helped that by nature Mr. Marcotte is a risk averse person, he seems to think that if he was to dabble in the stock
market, he will have the same fate as those who invested in Enron, World Com, or some of the other companies
involved in fraudulent practices.
Having the above concerns aside, Martin knows that he will not be able to achieve his financial goals by keeping his
savings in a savings account or having certificates of deposits. Therefore he has decided to research stocks further,
and together with Mrs. Marcotte start a small investment in some well-researched company. Before he does so,
however he still has several questions that he needs answered.

Part 1: The Marcottes are not sure what are the different ways one make money by investing in the stock of a company?
Please list and explain the three ways you can make money with stocks.

Part 2: Given that there are many classifications of stocks to choose from, which ones should the Marcottes invest in
initially? (Remember, their initial goal is to have sufficient funds for their kids’ college education) It may maybe
more than just one class of stock. Explain and support your recommendations for the Marcottes.

Part 3: The Marcottes are not sure if they should use a Full-Service of Discount Brokerage firm, since they feel they
will not be able to spend enough time researching individual stocks. What recommendation would you give them?
Please support your recommendation.

Part 4: What are the long term techniques that the Marcottes can follow when investing in the stock market? List and
explain two methods. Which one do you recommend for this family?

Part 5: What are the short term techniques that the Marcottes can follow when investing in the stock
market? List and explain two of the methods and explain why you would not recommend them to Marcottes.

please type it. . We need to work on your sentence structures and how many ideas are in 1 sentence. Also, there are some phrasing issues but this is okay for now. You have ideas but they need to be written a bit more academically. For example, I need a thesis statement in the introduction. I need clear topic sentences. Try not to write as if you are talking, in the present moment. The conclusion should be a summary of what you just proposed on how they will make a contract and have some positive info, which you do have already. I just need to see more of an academic structure.

_{You need to write 5-8 sentences per paragraph for a total of 20-32 sentences overall.}

Introduction paragraph 1: The thesis statement is usually the last sentence of the introductory
paragraph: This paper is going to discuss how Ms. Adelle Dubois will convince the Saudis
management team to agree to a French and Saudi ballet performance and contract.
Topic sentence

for paragraph 2: Ms. Adelle Dubois will need to respect the local Saudi traditions
when negotiating a contact with the Saudi management team.
Topic sentence

for paragraph 3: To convince the Saudi management team, Ms. Dubois will need to
address the Saudis concern for the French women’s dance attire and whether the dancers may
include male dancers or not.
Topic sentence

for paragraph 4 (conclusion): In conclusion, the success of Ms. Dubois’s contract
depends greatly upon her intercultural communication and persuasion skills.

Case 1: A French firm, The Paris Opera Ballet, sent its senior-level manager, Ms. Adelle Dubois, to
opening discussions to negotiate a performance contract with The Theater of King Fahd Cultural
Center in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The discussion will address how the dancers from France will be able
to perform with the Saudi dancers in Saudi Arabia. Briefly, discuss the cultural values of each culture
in a business context. Mention the language used for communication between the two parties.
How will Ms. Dubois convince the Theater of King Fahd to accept her offer and have both the French
and Saudi dancers perform together?

In the introduction, describe the situation and add a thesis statement. In the body of the essay,

paragraph 2 discuss how Ms. Dubois will learn about the Saudi culture.

In paragraph 3, discuss how
Ms. Dubois will address the Saudis concerns about the French women’s dance attire and whether
the dancers may include men or not. In the conclusion, provide a summary reiterating the
advantages Ms. Dubois may cultivate in order to seal the contract.

MATLAB

1. Introduce some if-statements into your energy.m code by considering the following items:

• Ask the user to enter the mass of the object (mention that they can either enter a scalar or a vector). Then the if-statement defines if the input is a scalar or a vector. If it is a scalar, then use fprintf to show the calculated energy in Joule.
• If it is a vector, sort the mass vector and then plot energy versus mass. Plot for them the subplots that you considered before (better to have 4 subplots).

When you are done with the above mentioned steps, then create a larger if-statement, giving the option to the user to select either Metric or US customary units. Ask the user which unit system they want to work in. Hint: Copy and paste what you have for two units and just change the appropriate units. For one, the user enters mass in Kg, for other one, they enter Slug.

This code can have so many other things (such as weeding out the texts and matrices that the user might enter by mistake), but we would like to make it simple for now. For this assignment, you will have at least one small if- statement (scalar-vector choices) inside the larger if-statement (unit choices).

HERE IS THE ENERGY.M FILE CODE:

% them. It displays a linear and three logarithmic plots and provides a
% table of values for mass entered and resulting energy from the row vector

I need this in pseudocode:

Similar to the previous assignment, you’re going to read in the number of years the player played and the starting year of that player – followed by the statistics for those years. This time, however, you’re going to print out the years from worst to best in sorted order. Hint: this will require a second array to store years. If you can sort one array, can you sort both? Sample Output #1: Enter the number of years: 5

Enter the starting year: 2003

Enter stat for year 2003: 5

Enter stat for year 2004: 4

Enter stat for year 2005: 7

Enter stat for year 2006: 1

Enter stat for year 2007: 3

2006|2007|2004|2003|2005|

Sample Output #2: Enter the number of years: 6

Enter the starting year: 1879

Enter stat for year 1879: 70

Enter stat for year 1880: 89
