A random sample of ten households in College Park revealed they generated a mean of 10.91 pounds of garbage per week with a standard deviation of 4.736 pounds. Construct the 80% confidence interval to estimate the mean amount of garbage all College Park households generate per week

8.1646 pounds to 13.6554 pounds

7.5220 pounds to 14.2980 pounds

8.8387 pounds to 12.9813 pounds

Suppose National Collegiate Athletic Association [NCAA] rules state all student-athletes are to receive an average of 50 hours of academic support, per term. A random sample of 49 University of Maryland student-athletes revealed a mean of 47.5 hours of academic support per term. If the calculated value for the associated test statistic equaled -1.75, what was the standard deviation of the number of hours of academic support the student-athletes in the sample received per term?

Case 3: Recently, an association that represented police in New Jersey complained that the incidence of cancer was unusually high among police officers who used radar guns in tracking the speed of drivers. The association brought suit against the state, claiming that those officers who used these radar guns had an incidence of cancer 18 percent higher than a comparable group of government workers from the state park service who were randomly selected for comparison purposes. The comparison sample and the police officers were matched on educational level, age, gender, and years of service. The sample was large: 283 police officers and 231 park workers.

Was the case justified? Why or why not? (Be sure to support your answer with reference to the strengths and weaknesses of the design, and consider possible confounds.)

You travel to one of the shops where you park your car beside a Ferrari Testa Rossa in the store car park, and
enter the store to find an immaculately dressed lady who runs the store on her own. The dresses sold in the
store retail for several thousand dollars an item. On chatting to the lady, you discover the Ferrari is her
“getting to work” car. You note that there is no cash register and are told that given the value of the dresses,
only a few sales a day are processed, and these are either by EFTPOS using a single machine, or cash, which
is immediately banked. Customers are given handwritten detailed receipts, which do not carry a serial
number.
Required:
Given the above situation critically analyse the sales process and describe in detail what management
assertions may be at risk relative to sales. Give full reasons for your choices. In your answer explain what
management assertions are.

Case 401

Hotel Front Office Management

Ana Chavarria, front office manager, and Lorraine DeSantes, director of marketing and sales, have just returned from a computer conference at which they were able to look at the latest property management systems for hotels. Ana is enthusiastic about updating and adopting front office applications for reservations, registration, room status, posting, call accounting, checkout, and night audit. Lorraine is sure the marketing and sales applications will help her department be more efficient. Both realize the cost involved in obtaining modules for a property management system. What would you suggest they do prior to discussing this issue with Margaret Chu, general manager of The Times Hotel? Assuming Ms. Chu is willing to consider the purchase of a PMS, how should Ana and Lorraine proceed? Whom should they include in developing a PMS adoption plan, and why? What areas should they investigate?
