Ann is interviewing for job at GRG, Inc.. Bob is the company's hiring manager and is in charge of conducting interviews.

Ann informs Bob that she is in the United States for the next year with an appropriate visa. The job that she is seeking has been advertised as a short-term position to fill a vacancy pending the return of a permanent employee. Without question, Ann is qualified for the position and will remain in the country for a time after the permanent employee returns.

Bob inquires about Ann's national origin after she informed him about the visa. Specifically, Bob asked Ann what country she is from and how many languages she speaks. Bob also made a casual remark about her country's history of "civil unrest" and "history of abusive treatment to women". Bob further informed Ann, during the interview, that he likes to keep up with "foreign affairs" and "contemporary world events". Ann was not offended by Bob's comments or inquiries at the interview.

Ann was not hired for the position. She learned that GRG, Inc. hired a Caucasian female, approximately the same age as she who was born and raised in Illinois. Ann has filed charges of discrimination based on ancestry / national origin with the EEOC. What are her arguments? What are the applicable defenses that GRG, Inc. can raise? Who wins / why not?

1.       The social learning theory of Bandura emphasizes the importance of observing and modeling the behaviors, attitudes, and emotional reactions of others.

Q: Write out the assumptions of simple linear regression. Use the output to validate assumptions or indicate if an assumption is not met.

Researchers investigated the speed with which consumers decide to purchase a product. The researchers theorized that consumers with last names that begin with letters later in the alphabet will tend to acquire items faster than those whose last names begin with letters earlier in the alphabet - called the last name effect. MBA students were offered tickets to a basketball game. The first letter of the last name of respondents and their response times were noted. The researchers compared the response times for two​ groups: (1) those with last names beginning with a​ letter, A-​I, and​ (2) those with last names beginning a​ letter, R-Z. Summary statistics for the two groups are provided in the accompanying table. Complete parts a and b below. Sample Size A-I: 18 R-Z: 18 Mean Response Time (Minutes) A-I: 23.26 R-Z: 16.82 Standard Deviation (Minutes) A-I: 9.87 R-Z: 8.49

A. Construct a 90% Confidence Interval for the difference between the true mean response times for MBA students in the two groups.

B. Based on the interval, part A, which group has the shorter mean response time? Does this result support the researchers' last name effect theory? Explain.

The TOPCAR taxi company is developing a new computer system to be used to support taxi booking and corporate client credit accounts. This computer system aims to automate some manual processes and cut down on labour costs as TOPCAR has many customers from large corporate companies, e.g. CEO, and managers often need taxi trips to the airport. The following describes the activities that must be processed by the computer system:

A client company must first register and open a credit account with TOPCAR at TOPCAR’s website, in which case certain credit checks are made such as checking credit history of client company’s debt level. If the client company has no bad debt history, a credit account for the client company is set up.

At least 24 hours after successful account registration, authorized persons from such client company can request a taxi booking form TOPCAR’s website. When this happens, the availability of a taxi at the requested date and time is checked, as is the credit status of the client company checked. (Note that credit status in finance means a measure of a lender’s willingness to lend money to a particular person or organization, depending on their ability to repay).

If these two checks are successful, a booking is made, and a written confirmation is sent via SMS and emailed to client company. After the customer from the client company has used the taxi, the driver sends in a record of the work, including the cost, and this is added to client company’s account. (Note that driver is an outsourced worker from TOPCAR’s point of view.) At the end of each month, taxi bills are sent via SMS and emailed to client companies for settlement.

From the above description, draw a data flow diagram showing the flow of input information (and/or data) and output information (and/or data) to and from processes and database stores within this computer system and any external environmental elements that interact with this computer system. In this diagram, you must identify the following:

1. processes inside this computer system,

3. input and output information (or data) to and from each of the processes, database stores, and external environmental elements identified in (a) and (b)        (7.5 marks)

(Hint: there are two environmental elements that interact with this computer system, and six main processes in this computer system)
