1. According to “New Study on Collaborative Execution Finds Supply Chain Collaboration Can Improve Operational Metrics by 50 Percent or More” (Bloomberg, 2012)

By a ratio of nearly two to one, supply chain professionals agreed that one of the biggest barriers to successful collaboration is a slow issue resolution process. This was identified as a systemic problem related to quality of information flow, in terms of both the granularity (level of detail) and timeliness of data shared.

And 92 percent of respondents agreed that rapid problem resolution was part of good collaboration. True collaboration can be defined in terms of speed, both in problem solving and in organizational learning. More than half of the responses indicated that speed of response in truly collaborative relationships was twice as fast or faster, with learning curve improvements more than 50 percent greater than in non-collaborative trading partner relationships.

1. Fifteen students were registered in Section 1 and 15 students were registered in Section 2 of a research course. They took the same midterm exam, and their exam scores were distributed as follows:

Section 1:          89, 56, 45, 78, 98, 45, 55, 77, 88, 99, 98, 97, 54, 34, 94

Section 2:           77, 88, 87, 67, 98, 87, 55, 77, 45, 44, 88, 99, 69, 67, 98

1. Calculate the mode, median, mean, range, variance, and standard deviation for both sections. Include your SPSS output below. (10 pts)
2. Which section did better overall on the exam? Fully justify your answer using the concepts in W&G Chapter 3. (3 pts)

What is your favorite color? A large survey of countries, including the United States, China, Russia, France, Turkey, Kenya, and others, indicated that most people prefer the color blue. In fact, about 24% of the population claim blue as their favorite color.† Suppose a random sample of n = 60 college students were surveyed and r = 11 of them said that blue is their favorite color. Does this information imply that the color preference of all college students is different (either way) from that of the general population? Use α = 0.05.

(a) What is the level of significance?


State the null and alternate hypotheses.

H₀: p = 0.24; H₁: p > 0.24H₀: p ≠ 0.24; H₁: p = 0.24    H₀: p = 0.24; H₁: p ≠ 0.24H₀: p = 0.24; H₁: p < 0.24

(b) What sampling distribution will you use?

The standard normal, since np > 5 and nq > 5.The Student's t, since np > 5 and nq > 5.    The Student's t, since np < 5 and nq < 5.The standard normal, since np < 5 and nq < 5.
