Two teaching methods and their effects on science test scores are being reviewed.

A random sample of 11 students, taught in traditional lab sessions, had a mean test score of 76.7 with a standard deviation of 3.2.

A random sample of 16 students, taught using interactive simulation software, had a mean test score of 83.2 with a standard deviation of 6.4.

Do these results support the claim that the mean science test score is lower for students taught in traditional lab sessions than it is for students taught using interactive simulation software? Use a significance level of = 0.10 for the test.

(Assume that the population variances are not equal, i.e. set “pooled” to “no.”)

State the null and alternate hypotheses for this problem.

What is your conclusion in the context of the problem?

Required: Below are two independent scenarios involving professional standards. For each scenario
students need to research the appropriate authoritative guidance and report their findings. Specifically,
students need to use the “IRAC” format for reporting their research findings. That is, students need to
identify the overarching “Issue” present for each scenario, identify and appropriately cite the applicable
“Rule”. Students must then specifically demonstrate their understanding of how the rule applies to given
scenario in an “Analysis” section and draw the necessary “Conclusion” with regard to the disposition of
the issue identified.

Scenario 1: Ereq Sheldon is an audit partner for the public accounting firm EMJAE, LLP. Ereq is
auditing ABC, a public company. ABC has requested a written report on the application of accounting
principles for a specific transaction. ABC would like to include this report to be distributed with the
audited financial statements. Ereq is unsure whether such an engagement is appropriate.

Scenario 2: Qiana Syerre is a licensed CPA. One of Qiana’s clients Crashco., an international airline, has
recently purchased some landing slots. Qiana is unsure whether the amounts should be capitalized or
expensed?

A life-insurance salesman spends 9 hours a week on the telephone soliciting new clients. From past experience, the salesman estimates that each hour spent calling students, blue-collar workers, and professionals will produce the following number of additional sales:

a.   How should the life-insurance salesman allocate his phone-calling time to maximize the number of sales?

Hours spent calling students = ______

Hours spent calling blue-collar workers = ______

Hours spent calling professionals = ______

b.   Now suppose the salesman decides to spend 16 hours a week soliciting new clients. How should he allocate his time?

Hours spent calling students = ______

Hours spent calling blue-collar workers = ______

Hours spent calling professionals = ______

4. University of Notre Dame is a premier institution that draws students from all over the world to its campus. Although it is privately funded, it aspires to world-class quality and reputation, which are enhanced when out-of-state residents enroll. Data suggest that in-state enrollment can be described by the equation:

Q_I = 25,000 - P_I,

where Q_I = in-state enrollment and P_I = in-state tuition. Out-of-state enrollment is given

by:                                           Q_N = 13,500 - .5P_N.

1. If tuition for in-state students is $14,000 and for out-of-state students is $19,000, what is total enrollment and demand elasticity for each type of student?
2. Suppose that the marginal cost to the university of an additional student is $7,000. Is Major University maximizing profit at its current tuition charges? Explain.  
3. Because of major funding cuts, the university is expecting to reduce its total enrollment to 11,000 students next year. The university is free to set any tuition charges it wishes. If the goal is to maximize total tuition revenue, what should in-state tuition, out-of-state tuition, and respective enrollments be? Explain why

An SAT prep course claims to improve the test score of students. The table below shows the scores for seven students the first two times they took the verbal SAT. Before taking the SAT for the second time, each student took a course to try to improve his or her verbal SAT scores. Do these results support the claim that the SAT prep course improves the students' verbal SAT scores? Let d=(verbal SAT scores prior to taking the prep course)−(verbal SAT scores after taking the prep course). Use a significance level of α=0.1 for the test. Assume that the verbal SAT scores are normally distributed for the population of students both before and after taking the SAT prep course. Student 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Score on first SAT 480 530 520 530 360 380 550 Score on second SAT 530 580 560 610 390 400 610 Step 1 of 5 : State the null and alternative hypotheses for the test.
