Listed below are two new researches by the IBM company .

A radical new recycling process

The biggest threat to our planet are humans, due to our waste and pollution. Plastic is one major issue, as it pollutes our planet on a daily basis and the predictions are that in 2050, there will be more plastic in our oceans than fishes. In order to prevent that from happening, IBM Researchers have invented the VolCat, which will make the recycling of plastic more efficient. This new recycling concept will break down all kinds of plastic, regardless if it is colored or not, clean or dirty. Hence, households won’t have to separate and recycle their plastic at home anymore, since the VolCat will use all types of plastic together. VolCat is a catalytic chemical process, which dissolves polyester plastics. Once it is digested, it can then be reused for new plastic manufacturing machines (IBM Research, n.d.).

Heavy Metal Free Batteries:

IBM is currently working on new battery technologies that are free of heavy metals such as cobalt, nickel, lithium, and other metal types. The main objectives of this project are to lower the cost of batteries, charge faster, higher power density, higher energy density, better efficiency, and lower flammability of batteries currently being used. They expect these batteries to be used in electronics, airplanes, cars, and any other product that requires mobile power. They are currently working with Mercedes-Benz Research and Development, Central Glass and battery manufacturers to develop this technology (Na, 2019).

Ethics in Commerce

Sparrow Pharmaceuticals is the maker of several popular drugs used to treat high blood pressure and arthritis. Over time, the company has developed a positive relationship with many of the patients who use its medications through a quarterly newsletter that offers the latest information on new medical research findings and general health and fitness articles. The company just has been acquired by a group of investors who also own Soothing Waters Hot Tubs and Spas. The marketing director for Soothing Waters would like to use Sparrow’s mailing list for a direct-mail promotion.


Ethics Questions:

What should Sparrow Pharmaceuticals do?

Do you think it is ethical to use customer information across multiple divisions of the same company? Explain.

To which marketing management philosophy do you think the marketing director for Soothing Waters subscribes? Explain.

Does the AMA Statement of Ethics address the use of the customer information by multiple divisions of the same company? Go to http://www.marketingpower.com and review the statement. Then write a brief paragraph on how the AMA Statement of Ethics relates to Sparrow Pharmaceuticals’ dilemma.

(To locate the Statement of Ethics students would go to http://www.marketingpower.com and in the top right corner they would select, “About AMA,” and underneath “About AMA,” there are several Gray tabs to choose from, select “Statement of Ethics,” and begin to review the Statement of Ethics.)

Is Job Satisfaction going down? In the past ten years, several authors have stated that people are miserable in their jobs and have become increasingly unhappy over time. Job satisfaction scores from participants in the General Social Survey (GSS) in 1975 and 2006 were studied. Higher scores indicate greater satisfaction, with 2.5 being a neutral score. Here are summaries of scores for 1975 and 2006:

a) Run a test of significance to see if there is a significant decrease in mean scores from 1975 to 2006? Be sure to clearly state the null and alternative hypotheses, clearly label and state the value of the test statistic, clearly label and state the value of the P-value and clearly state the conclusion of the test in the context of the problem.

b) The paper from which the data came includes several years from 1972 to 2006. 1975 was the year with the highest mean score. What, if any, effect does this information have on your assessment of whether job satisfaction has decreased over time?

1. Researchers have long suspected that texting has a detrimental effect on driving behavior. To avoid unnecessary high risk of driving on the roads, driving behavior is measured via driving simulator and the number of mistakes is recorded while texting and not texting as the person is driving the simulator. Mistakes such as failing to stay within the lane, driving at least 10 miles below or above the speed limit, and failing to use the turn signal are automatically recorded. To avoid individual differences in driving behavior, participants are tested twice: once under the “texting while driving” condition and once under the “driving without texting” condition. There are nine participants in the study. Their driving mistakes are reported in the table below.

Question: Do the data support the claim that texting has a detrimental (negative) effect on driving behavior, using an α = 0.05?

For this question, you must follow the steps of hypothesis testing and complete all your calculations by hand. Remember to show your calculations and provide your conclusions in sentence format.

Once you finish this part of the assignment, you can scan or take a photo of your work and paste the scan/photo in your Word document.

Question 3 [Note this question is from the Week 5 Tutorial] Internal controls play an integral role in developing reliable financial records that facilitates the decision-making process. Further, a well-designed internal control system helps in preventing or detecting errors and fraud. Realising the importance of internal controls, the internal auditing department of Dynamic Sportswear periodically reviews the accounting records of the company to determine the effectiveness of the internal controls. During the latest review, the internal audit department found the following conditions: 1. There are occasional discrepancies between the daily bank deposits and the cash receipts. [1 Mark] 2. One employee is preparing and approving the bad debt write-offs. [1 Mark] 3. There are also occasional discrepancies between physical inventory counts and perpetual inventory records. Furthermore, alterations have been made to the physical inventory counts and to the perpetual inventory records. [3 Mark] 4. The customer's records reveal that there are many customer refunds and credits. [1 Mark] 5. Many original documents are missing or lost. However, there are substitute copies of all missing originals. [2 Mark] 6. There is a substantial decrease in the gross profit percentage. This decrease is not explained. [2 Mark] 7. Many documents are not approved. [1 Mark] Required: Describe the possible reasons for these identified conditions above (from 1. – 7.) and recommend effective internal control(s) for each condition. [11 marks. Word limit: Up to 400 words.]

1. Find the appropriate measure of center. Discuss why the chosen measure is most appropriate. Why did you decide against other possible measures of center?
2. Find the appropriate measure of variation. The measure of variation chosen here should match the measure of center chosen in Part 1.
3. Find the graph(s) needed to appropriately describe the data. These may be done by hand and inserted into the Word document.
4. Define a random variable (X) so that your chosen data set represents values of X.
5. Is your chosen random variable discrete or continuous? Explain how you know.
6. Would the Normal or Binomial distribution be a good fit for the underlying sample distribution of X? If one of them is a good fit, state how you would approximate the distribution parameters.
7. Calculate the probability that a flight will depart early or on-time.
8. Calculate the probability that a flight will arrive late.
9. Calculate the probability that a flight departs late or arrives early.
10. Assume now that the random variable X=Arrival Time is exactly normally distributed with mean m= -2.5 and standard deviation s= 23. Compute the probability of a flight arriving late based on this new information. Does this contradict your answer from Part 8?

All calculations must be performed in Excel. The Excel file must be submitted as part of the report.

I need help knowing what formulas to plug in when using excel, please help. I have no clue how to work out these questions in excel. I only got question 1 & 2 solved.
