Palapye Biotech Company has 10 scientists in the same lab with you. One of the co-workers who attended another unnamed University in the country got jealous about how technologically advanced you are and decided to get you fired by unscrupulous means. The production strain goes missing. Pheww! You were the last person to visit the collections storeroom as witnessed by the collections storeroom logbook. You are then entrusted to do the investigation of the theft of the company´s novel production strain. During the investigation you acquire the following evidence; • A spot of blood on the corners of the tables in the store room suggesting that the suspect probably got injured in the haste ordeal • Hair follicles • Used gloves worn probably by the suspect to get the samples from the freezer vii. Your advisor suggests that you can use your molecular biology skills to identify the suspect, by using the serological tests. How will you argue (progressively) that the technology will not resolve the issue (2).

1. The following conversation took place between two friends John and Peter. John is the general manager of XYZ Company while Peter is the CEO of LMN Company:

John: Hi Peter, it is nice to meet you. I want to share to you the new policies and procedures that we have implemented in my company.
Peter: Oh really, I want to know those new policies so maybe I can also use and apply those in my company specially at this time of Coronavirus Pandemic , such a very challenging time for us.
John : Yes indeed. Anyway, our first policy is “No Work, No Pay”. As you know, my company is involved in the tourism business, and this Pandemic has forced us to close our shops and stop our operations. So all our employees are not working, and they are just in their homes. So the top management decided to also stop giving their salaries because they are not working at all.
Peter: Really? So all your employees are not getting salary?
John: Well, actually, not all employees, only the rank and file. Our managers are still given half of their salaries. We do not want to lose them. But for the rank and file employees, we can always replace them anytime, so if they want to resign then we will not stop them. As a matter of fact, our second policy is “Give priority to Top Level Employees”. It means that if we have to provide trainings and opportunities, it will be for our top level employees only. These are the people who will stay with us. Actually, most of our rank and files are expatriates, sooner or later, they will go home to their countries.
Peter: Yes, you told me before, they are mostly Asians right?
John: Yes Asians, I hate those people. Most of them are lazy. We are both lucky, we have blue eyes and blond hair, we come from the West, we are the only expatriates who are very much welcome here in the Gulf, and we are given special privileges. We belong to the superior race. Anyway, our last policy is “Men leads, women follows”
Peter: Really? That is a written policy that you have in your company?
John: No, it is not written but we practice and follow it. All our top managers are men. Women are very sensitive and emotional. They really cannot handle pressure. Honestly, I believe they should only stay at home and work in the kitchen.
Peter: Okay John, let me think about those policies that you have shared. Thanks for this conversation.

Required : Based on the conversation above, what are your views and opinions on the policies mentioned by John? Discuss in full details all your points and cite any ethical principles and ethical issues in culture and diversity that you have learned in your Business Ethics class that has been violated or is in contradiction to the points made by John. Make a full discussion on those issues and suggest ways on how to address those issues.

a) Find an appropriate 80% confidence interval. (Round data to five decimal places)

b) A student at Kyoto University thought the baseline was 159 cm. Perform a hypothesis test to check your results from above. What is the conclusion of your hypothesis test?

Suppose a college student at a university presents to a physician with symptoms of headaches, fever, and joint pain. Let A = {headaches, fever, and joint pain}, and suppose that the possible disease state of the patient can be partitioned into: B1 = normal, B2 = common cold, B3 = mumps. From clinical experience, the physician estimates P (AjBi ): P (AjB1) = 0.001, P (AjB2) = 0.70, P (AjB3) = 0.95. The physician, aware that some students have contracted the mumps, then estimates that for students at this university, P (B1) = 0.95, P (B2) = 0.025, and P (B3) = 0.025.

Given the previous symptoms, which of the disease states is most likely? Be sure to clearly show your work.

In this problem, assume that the distribution of differences is approximately normal. Note: For degrees of freedom d.f. not in the Student's t table, use the closest d.f. that is smaller. In some situations, this choice of d.f. may increase the P-value by a small amount and therefore produce a slightly more "conservative" answer.

Are America's top chief executive officers (CEOs) really worth all that money? One way to answer this question is to look at row B, the annual company percentage increase in revenue, versus row A, the CEO's annual percentage salary increase in that same company. Suppose a random sample of companies yielded the following data:
B: Percent increase
for company   26   23   25   18   6   4   21   37
A: Percent increase
for CEO   21   25   22   14   −4   19   15   30
Do these data indicate that the population mean percentage increase in corporate revenue (row B) is different from the population mean percentage increase in CEO salary? Use a 5% level of significance. (Let d = B − A.)
(a) What is the level of significance?
0.05

Correct: Your answer is correct.

H0: μd = 0; H1: μd ≠ 0
H0: μd > 0; H1: μd = 0
Correct: Your answer is correct.

(b) What sampling distribution will you use? What assumptions are you making?
The Student's t. We assume that d has an approximately uniform distribution.
The standard normal. We assume that d has an approximately normal distribution.
