Gender Selection The Genetics & IVF Institute conducted a clinical trial of the YSORT method designed to increase the probability of conceiving a boy. As of this writing, 291 babies were born to parents using the YSORT method, and 239 of them were boys. Use a 0.10 significance level to test the claim that the YSORT method is effective in increasing the likelihood that a baby will be a boy. Find critical value(s), state the conclusion.
a. 1.23; H 1 fail to reject, Support Original claim
b. 2.33; Reject H 1 and Reject H0
c. 2.33; H 1 rejected, Support Original claim
d. 1.96; H 1 fail to reject, Support Original claim

Recent headlines have sparked heated debate about whether boys should be allowed to dress as girls. For example, a 5-year-old boy in Seattle who enjoys things traditionally for girls, such as jewelry, the color pink, and dresses was supported and encouraged by his mother, who wrote a book about him called “My Princess Boy”. A J. Crew ad featured a mother painting her young boy’s toenails hot pink (CBS News, 2011 April 13). Reactions ranged from outrage and disbelief to support of the mothers.
On the flipside, girls who shun traditionally “girly things” such as dresses and flowers in favor of more traditional “boy things” such as watching or playing sports, rough-and-tumble play, and choosing boys as friends are often called tomboys.
For either sex, choosing to engage in activities traditionally reserved for a specific sex can result in teasing and accusations of homosexuality.
Using research gathered from your textbook, online course content, and at least 1 research article, analyze the above scenarios.
Are the behaviors discussed above (i.e., preferring things traditionally acceptable for a specific sex) indicative of homosexuality? Why or why not?
Describe the psychological consequences (positive and negative) that might result from engaging in behaviors reserved for a specific sex?
Develop an argument for or against concern that these children might be exhibiting a paraphilia.
Which paraphilia(s) might apply and what criteria would you use based on the research?
What, if any, intervention would you recommend to a parent whose little girl or boy expresses the desire to engage in behaviors typical of the opposite sex? If you do not believe intervention is necessary, explain why.

1. BDO Seidman's attorneys pointed out correctly that professional standards do not prohibit auditors and client personnel from being "friends." At what point do such relationships result in violations of the auditor independence rules and guidelines? Provide hypothetical examples to strengthen your answer.
2. According to court testimony, on 20 July 1995, Drew Bergman recommended to HMI's board of directors that Mei-ya Tsai be hired as the company's chief accounting officer (CAO). One week later, BDO Seidman issued its audit report on HMI's 1995 financial statement. Under presently existing professional standards would this situation have presented an independence "problem" for BDO Seidman? Defend your answer.
