Alex Edmans, the London Business School professor at the start of the video, identified a “Happy Worker Premium.” This is a signal to investors that this company has a better chance of producing higher profits due to worker satisfaction. According to the text, job performance is comprised of three factors where motivation (or job satisfaction) is only one factor. What are the other two factors of job performance and how can those two factors be improved if found lacking?

Aaron Hurst, author of the Purpose Driven Economy says that CEOs offer perks as a sign of confidence the company is successful when what managers should be doing is listening to what workers really want, rather than the company giving the workers what the company thinks they want. Which process-based perspective of motivation theory does this imply – equity theory or expectancy theory?

Aaron Hurst says that a study out of Yale shows that intrinsic motivation and rewards are more important than extrinsic motivation and rewards. Mr. Hurst also says when companies offer many extrinsic motivators, like ping-pong tables or yoga sessions, they may have negative consequences rather than positive consequences. What do you think Mr. Hurst means by this statement?

Locate a simple sentence in the passage below:

Emma Gonzales is a high school senior that addresses her concerns about gun control to government and gun advocates, after the incident involved a shooter that killed 17 people at her school. Kaitlin Bennett is a gun rights advocate, believes that any student should have the right to carry firearms, given the potential danger.

Ethos, logos, and pathos are the three main rhetorical appeals they both use to create compelling arguments to persuade their audience to side with them.

Emma Gonzales uses all three of these writer’s tactics in her speech on gun control to convince her audience to side with her position that gun laws should be changed.

• Explain why a simple sentence was most effective in this case, or explain why it might need to be changed to a different sentence type.
• Look at the sentences before and after. Are they both simple sentences as well? If so, does sentence variety need to be addressed here? Why or why not?

Just out of high school, Ron Kovic enlists in the Marines to serve in the Vietnam War. The trauma of battle leaves Ron not only paralyzed from the waist down, but also emotionally and mentally scared. His trauma continues during his recovery period in a veteran’s hospital where patient neglect is a daily occurrence. Upon returning home, Ron is further confused and alienated by the antiwar movement, which sharply contrasts with his deep sense of patriotism.

He spends the next decade living with the burdening trauma of combat memories, while adjusting to his disability and to a changing culture. His journey of emotional anguish takes him through many struggles, until eventually his political passions are reawakened.

Personal budget

At the beginning of the school year, Craig Kovar decided to prepare a cash budget for the months of September, October, November, and December. The budget must plan for enough cash on December 31 to pay the spring semester tuition, which is the same as the fall tuition. The following information relates to the budget:

a. Prepare a cash budget for September, October, November, and December. Enter all amounts as positive values except cash decrease which should be indicated with a minus sign.

b. Are the four monthly budgets that are presented prepared as static budgets or flexible budgets?

Static

c. What are the budget implications for Craig Kovar?

Craig can see that his present plan will not provide sufficient cash. If Craig did not budget but went ahead with the original plan, he would be $ ______ short  at the end of December, with no time left to adjust.

A recent 10-year study conducted by a research team at the Medical School was conducted to assess how age, blood pressure, and smoking relate to the risk of strokes. Assume that the following data are from a portion of this study. Risk is interpreted as the probability (times 100) that the patient will have a stroke over the next 10-year period. For the smoking variable, define a dummy variable with 1 indicating a smoker and 0 indicating a nonsmoker.

(a) Develop an estimated multiple regression equation that relates risk of a stroke to the person's age, blood pressure, and whether the person is a smoker. Let x1 represent the person's age. Let x2 represent the person's blood pressure. Let x3 represent whether the person is a smoker. If required, round your answers to three decimal places. For subtractive or negative numbers use a minus sign even if there is a + sign before the blank. (Example: -300)

=______ +_________ x1 + ________x2 + ________x3

(c) What is the probability of a stroke over the next 10 years for Art Speen, a 68-year-old smoker who has a blood pressure of 173? If required, round your answer to two decimal places.

The mean throwing distance of a football for Marco, a high school freshman quarterback, is 40 yards, with a standard deviation of two yards. The team coach tells Marco to adjust his grip to get more distance. The coach records the distances for 20 throws. For the 20 throws, Marco’s mean distance was 45 yards. The coach thought the different grip helped Marco throw farther than 40 yards. Conduct a hypothesis test using a preset α = 0.05. Assume the throw distances for footballs are normal. First, determine what type of test this is, set up the hypothesis test, find p-value, Sketch the graph, and state your conclusion.

Suppose that the average trip time from your house to school on the train is 24 minutes and that the standard deviation of the population is 4 minutes (sigma=4). We are interested to know whether the average trip time on Thursdays is shorter. We study a sample of 49 trips on Thursdays and the average is 22.75 minutes. Execute a hypothesis test at alpha=10% that the average trip time on Thursdays is shorter (that is, that it requires a smaller number of minutes). State Ho, Ha, calculate the appropriate statistic, p-value, state whether you reject Ho vs. not and state your conclusion in plain English.

A) What is the largest number of minutes that will allow you to reject Ho?

B) What is the probability that you will reject Ho if mu is actually 23.375 minutes?

C) Fill in the probabilities in the table below. Also indicate alpha, beta and power. D)What test concludes Ho is true in population Ho not true in population Reject Ho Not reject Ho

D) Fill in the probabilities in the table below. Also indicate alpha, beta and power.

{What test concludes; Ho is true in population ; Ho not true in population }

{Reject Ho ; ; }

{Not reject Ho ; ; }

School is interested in knowing the average height of undergraduate students but do not have time to measure all the students. 100 students were randomly selected and it is found that the average height of these 100 students is 1.60 metres with a standard deviation of 0.3 metres.

a) State the point estimate of the average height of undergraduate students.

b) Construct an interval estimate of the average height of students with 99% confidence.

c) The respond rate of the above survey was 85%, i.e. 85% of the students contacted were willing to participate in the survey. Construct an interval estimate of the proportion of students population who are willing to participate in other similar survey with 95% confidence.

d) The Student Services Centre is not very convinced of the result and would like to conduct a second survey. It would like to estimate the mean population height of students to be within 0.05 metres and be 99% confident, assuming the population standard deviation is 0.3 metres, how large a sample is necessary to achieve the accuracy stated?

An educator wants to determine if early exposure to school will affect IQ. He enlists the aid of the parents of 10 pairs of preschool-age identical twins who agree to let their twins participate in his experiment. One member of each twin pair is enrolled in preschool for 2 years, while the other member of each pair remains at home. At the end of 2 years, subjects in both conditions were given an intelligence test. The test scores recorded are given below.

Preschool: 110 121 107 117 119 125 130 116 118 110

Home: 95 105 109 120 104 100 128 110 100 93
