A publicly traded company operating over 800 restaurants nationally and in 15 foreign countries with 34,000 employees with a reported gross revenue of $1.25 billion dollars is the subject of this action. This chain restaurant posted an internal announcement for a temporary summer position in its Park City, Utah resort location for employees in a nine state region. The position included company-provided housing and greater earnings. However, the announcement stated that only female employees would be considered because of concerns about housing employees of both genders together. The restaurant selected only women for those summer jobs. Two male employees were turned down for the opportunity. Please answer the following questions.

1) What federal law will the two male employees rely on in this action?

2) Can the two male employees bring an action in federal court immediately? If not, with what federal agency must they file a complaint first?

3) What is the statute of limitation of limitations on the filing of the complaint?

4) What doctrine will the male employees most likely use to prove discrimination and how will they go about proving it? How might the employer respond to or refute the allegations of discrimination?

5) How do you think the Court should rule and what is the basis for that ruling?

Instructions:

Answer ALL questions in the examination booklet. You are required to show your workings unless stated otherwise.

QUESTION 1

1. What is the lowest z-value for the lowest 5% of observations on the standard normal distribution?

2. If we know that the length of time it takes a university student to find a parking space in the university car park follows a normal distribution with a mean of 3.5 minutes and a standard deviation of 1 minute, find the Interquartile Range (IQR) for a randomly selected university student finding a parking space.

3. The daily sales of a retail store are normally distributed with a standard deviation of $500. If the probability that sales will be more than $10,000 in any one day is 60%, what are the mean daily sales?

4. A drinks machine dispenses coffee into cups. A sign on the machine indicates that each cup contains 100ml of coffee. The machine actually dispenses a mean amount of 105ml per cup and 10% of the cups contain less than the amount stated on the sign. Assuming that the amount of coffee dispenses into each cup is normally distributed, find the standard deviation of the amount of coffee dispensed per cup in ml.

5. Given the following table of values, find, showing ALL workings:

1. The missing probability.                     

Wood Maker Ltd. incurred the following selected transactions during the month of April:

For each transaction, indicate (1) the basic type of account debited or credited (asset, liability, shareholders’ equity); (2) the specific account debited or credited; and (3) whether the specific account is increased or decreased to record this transaction. Use the following format.

You are working for Colorado Green Builders, a company in Boulder, Colorado, specializing in sustainable building. You are part of a project team that is supervising the design and construction of a visitor’s center in the Rocky Mountain National Park. The goal is to build the visitor’s center so that it is self-sufficient. That means it should use no outside resources, if possible, including energy, water, and waste systems. Your manager, Amanda Karlson, suggests that you meet with your team to plan this project.
a.Brainstorm the general categories of resources you need to build the visitor’s center so that it is self-sufficient. Consider everything typically found in a public building.
b.Review the resource categories and create a master list.
c.For each category, brainstorm ways to provide the resource without depending on outside systems. For example, if you have a food category, you could create a garden and greenhouse to provide fruits and vegetables without depending on outside suppliers.
d.Review the ideas your team generated, and then use convergent thinking techniques to edit the list. Your goal is to identify all the resources a visitor’s center needs using systems that are fairly easy to set up and maintain and are not too expensive.
e.Submit the list to your instructor as requested.

PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS. ANY IDEA WILL HELP, OR EVEN SHORT ANSWER. THANK YOU!

Build a program that calculates the parking fare for the customer who parks their cars in a public parking lot given the following: i. A character showing the type of vehicle: C for car, B for bus, T for truck ii. An integer between 0 and 24 showing the hour the vehicle entered the lot iii. An integer between 0 and 60 showing the minute the vehicle entered the lot iv. An integer between 0 and 24 showing the hour the vehicle left the lot v. An integer between 0 and 60 showing the minute the vehicle left the lot For encouraging people to park for a short period of time, the management uses two different rates for each type of vehicle as shown below: Vehicle First Rate Second Rate CAR RM 1.00/hr first 3 hr RM 2.00 after first 3 hr TRUCK RM 1.50/hr first 3 hr RM 2.50 after first 3 hr BUS RM 2.00/hr first 3 hr RM 3.00 after first 3 hr No vehicle is allowed to stay in the parking lot later than midnight. If the customer is detected stay parking lot overnight, the customer is required to pay the penalty fee RM 150.00 per day plus the parking fare.

Calculations on Elasticity of Supply and Demand

1. Consider two cities, Control City and Freeburg, that are initially identical, with an equilibrium wage $100, equilibrium employment 100,000 jobs, and 50 million square feet of housing (500 square feet per worker). The government in Control City fixes the maximum total square footage in the city at its current level: new housing can be built, but every square foot of new housing requires that one square foot of old housing be retired from the market. Each city experience an increase in labor demand that shift the market demand curve to the right by 24 percent. In both cities, the wage elasticity of demand for labor is -1.0.

(a) In Freeburg, the wage elasticity of labor supply is 5.0. Illustrate the market effect of the increase in labor demand, including a value for the new equilibrium wage.

(b) In Control City, the wage elasticity of labor supply is 0. Illustrate the market effect of the increase in labor demand, including a value for the new equilibrium wage.

Research question: In the population of all Penn State students, are more than 80% enrolled full-time?

In this question set you will be using StatKey to conduct randomization tests for a single proportion. These data are not built in to StatKey, so you will need to “Edit data” to enter in the sample counts. Please show screenshots and work.

B. Using the five steps from the online notes, conduct a randomization test given that 350 students in a sample of 400 are full-time students. Be sure to include your relevant StatKey output. [30 points]

Step 1: Determine what type of test you need to conduct and write the hypotheses.

Step 2: Construct a randomization distribution under the assumption that the null hypothesis is true. Take at least 5000 resamples.

Step 3: Use the randomization distribution to find the p-value.

Step 4: Decide if you should reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis.

Step 5: State a real-world conclusion in relation to the original research question.

In order to determine the load capacity of a lift, a random sample of 15lifts are stress tested and the maximum weight that each life can bear before malfunctioning is recordedas the “Maximum Load”. Suppose thatthe mean of the maximum load is1279 pounds and the standard deviation of the maximum loadis 123 pounds.

a.Verify that the conditions for constructing confidence intervals for the mean are met.

b.Compute and interpret a 99% confidence interval for the mean of the maximum weight the lifts can bear.

c.Compute and interpret a 99% confidence interval for the standard deviation of the maximum weight the lifts can bear.

d.A safety mechanism built into the lift will detect the weight currently on the lift and prevent it from activating if it exceeds a certain threshold. The manufacturers want the mechanism to activate below the maximum weight of nearly all of the liftsthey produce. Currently, the mechanism will activate if it detects 1200 pounds or more on the lift.

Based off of your answers to parts b and c, should the threshold for the mechanism be changed? Justify your answer.
