David Savage, a business graduate, started a manufacturing business known as HARDA Manufacturers. Over the last three years, the company has experienced steady growth. There are seven vice presidents, who represent; (1) Finance, (2) Marketing, (3) Manufacturing, (4) Information System and Services, (5) Human Resources, (6) Administration, and (7) Research and Development.

These seven vice presidents report to David Savage, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of this business. The Information Systems and Services department was established last year when HARDA Manufacturers began developing a new information system consisting of a server connected to each employee's personal computer. This is a limited information system, and the PCs can download and upload data to the server. HARDA Manufacturers is still designing and developing applications for its new system. David Savage received a letter from the external auditor. He called a meeting with his vice presidents to review the recommendation that HARDA Manufacturer should form an information system steering committee.

Required: a) Explain the possible reasons for the fact that auditors have recommended forming a steering committee. Also discuss the specific responsibilities of this steering committee. [5 marks]

b) Discuss the benefits and the composition of this steering committee. [2 marks]

Seasonal affective disorder (SAD) is a type of depression during seasons with less daylight (e.g., winter months). One therapy for SAD is phototherapy, which is increased exposure to light used to improve mood. A researcher tests this therapy by exposing a sample of SAD patients to different intensities of light (low, medium, high) in a light box, either in the morning or at night (these are the times thought to be most effective for light therapy). All participants rated their mood following this therapy on a scale from 1 (poor mood) to 9 (improved mood). The hypothetical results are given in the following table.

(a) Complete the F-table and make a decision to retain or reject the null hypothesis for each hypothesis test. (Round your answers to two decimal places. Assume experiment wise alpha equal to 0.05.)

State the decision for the main effect of the time of day.

A. Retain the null hypothesis.

B. Reject the null hypothesis.    

State the decision for the main effect of intensity.

A. Retain the null hypothesis.

B. Reject the null hypothesis.    

State the decision for the interaction effect.

A. Retain the null hypothesis.

B. Reject the null hypothesis.    

(b) Compute Tukey's HSD to analyze the significant main effect.

The critical value is for each pairwise comparison.

Summarize the results for this test using APA format:

A researcher is interested to learn if there is a relationship between the level of interaction a women in her 20s has with her mother and her life satisfaction ranking. Below is a list of women who fit into each of four level of interaction. Conduct a One-Way ANOVA on the data to determine if a relationship exists.

You are an associate of the American Coffee Producers Association and operate small coffee shops in southern Nevada. The coffee business is quite competitive and small companies must compete with coffee giants like Starbucks. Therefore, it is important that you understand your local market demographics. One demographic you wish to study is whether there are differences in coffee consumption levels among various age groups. Understanding any relationship between age and coffee consumption will help tailor effective promotional issues. You develop and administer a survey in your target market area. Two of the questions on the survey ask 1) the respondent's age range and 2) the respondent's level of daily coffee consumption. The results of the survey are shown in the table below. Perform the appropriate test at alpha = .05 to determine if the level of daily coffee consumption is related to customer age.

Part I: Origins of Psychology

Within psychology, there are several perspectives used to describe, predict, and explain human behavior. The seven major perspectives in modern psychology are psychoanalytic, behaviorist, humanist, cognitive, neuroscientific/biopsychological, evolutionary, and sociocultural. Describe the perspectives, using two to three sentences each. Select one major figure associated with one of the perspectives and describe his or her work in two to three sentences. Type your response in the space below.

Part II: Research Methods

Describe research methods used in psychology by completing the following table. Then, select two of the research methods, and compare and contrast them. Your response must be at least 75 words.

Describe one ethical issue related to research. Why is informed consent necessary for ethical research?

Part III: The Brain

Studying the functions and elements of the brain is essential to understanding human behavior.

1.      Why do psychologists study twins? Why do psychologists study children who have been adopted? What can be learned from these types of studies?

2.      What are the functions of neurotransmitters and hormones? How do they influence the brain and behavior?

A local police chief claims that 76% of all drug-related arrests are never prosecuted. A sample of 700 arrests shows that 72% of the arrests were not prosecuted. Using this information, one officer wants to test the claim that the number of arrests that are never prosecuted is different from what the chief stated. Is there enough evidence at the 0.01 level to support the officer's claim? Step 1 of 7 : State the null and alternative hypotheses. Step 2 of 7 : Find the value of the test statistic. Round your answer to two decimal places. Step 3 of 7 : Specify if the test is one-tailed or two-tailed. Step 4 of 7 : Determine the P-value of the test statistic. Round your answer to four decimal places. Step 5 of 7 : Identify the value of the level of significance. Step 6 of 7 : Make the decision to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis. Step 7 of 7 State the conclusion of the hypothesis test.

A study was designed to evaluate the effectiveness of new treatments to reduce the systolic blood pressure of patients determined to have high blood pressure. Three drugs were selected for evaluation. There are numerous nondrug treatments for reducing blood pressure including various combinations of a controlled diet, exercise programs, biofeedback and so on. the researchers randomly selected three non drug treatments for examination in the study. The age of the patient often may hinder the effectiveness of any treatment. Thus, patients with high BP were divided into two age groups. A group of 54 patients was divided into the two age groups and then randomly assigned to a combination of one of the three drugs and one of the three non drug treatments. After patients had participated in the program for 2 months, the reduction so their systolic blood pressure readings were recorded.

This is nested, drug is fixed and non drug and age are random
