The Appalachian Bear Center (ABC) is a not-for-profit organization located near the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. ABC’s programs include the rehabilitation of orphaned and injured black bears, as well as research and education about Appalachian black bears. ABC provides the most natural environment possible for rehabilitating black bears before their release back into the wild. Katie Settlage performed a study to learn more about the Appalachian black bear population in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. She and a team of researchers used a sample of 68 black bears in the park and took measurements such as paw size, weight, and shoulder height. Questions 2 and 3 refer to the following information regarding the shoulder height of the 28 female bears from the study. For these 28 female bears, the sample mean is 75.679 cm and the sample standard deviation is 7.592 cm. Assume the data is normally distributed and the sample is randomly selected.

3. Using an 80% level of confidence, construct the confidence interval for the population standard deviation of the shoulder heights based on the female data and make a statement interpreting these intervals.

1) COVID 19 has made a significant impact on the provision of hospitality guest service. As a hospitality manager who is forced to adapt to the new social constructs, how can you sustain the quality of hospitality guest service to minimize physical contact? Justify your answer.
2). Reflecting on the nature or the characteristics of service, what do you think are its implications to the hospitality organizations in creating a total guest experience?
3) The service industry holds to the general notion that “the guest is always right.” However, in situations where the guest wants too much or goes too far, as rule of thumb, the hospitality manager must be able to find ways to let them know that they are wrong with dignity ensuring that in the process their self- esteem as well as their satisfaction with the guest experience and the organization are not negatively affected. So, how would you handle the given situation? A long-time guest has drunk a bit too much in your hotel bar. He is staying at the hotel that evening, he is not driving, and he insists on one more drink. He says that if the hotel refuses to serve him, he will take his business elsewhere.

Over the past six months, Six Flags conducted a marketing study on improving their park experience. The study cost $3.00 million and the results suggested that Six Flags add a kid's only roller coaster.

Suppose that Six Flags decides to build a new roller coaster for the upcoming operating season. The depreciable equipment for the roller coaster will cost $50.00 million and an additional $5.00 million to install. The equipment will be depreciated straight-line over 20 years.

The marketing team at Six Flags expects the coaster to increase attendance at the park by 5%. This translates to 110,714.00 more visitors at an average ticket price of $39.00. Expenses for these visitors are about 12.00% of sales.

There is no impact on working capital. The average visitor spends $23.00 on park merchandise and concessions. The after-tax operating margin on these side effects is 31.00%. The tax rate facing the firm is 36.00%, while the cost of capital is 8.00%.

What is the NPV of this coaster project if Six Flags will evaluate it over a 20-year period? (Six Flags expects the first year project cash flow to grow at 5% per year, going forward)
