You are a database designer and data analyst working for the hypothetical employer, Park University. The University over the last few years has provided faculty and staff needed technology to support various job functions but is having some trouble tracking such technology to ensure the program is cost-effective.   In other words, the University Controls Department is having difficulty locating inventories and associated invoicing information. With the lack of this important information, the University Controls department has a very difficult time locating and tracking released technology which has the intended purpose of being an asset to assigned employees and departments.

The University Controls department has a Technology Asset Management System currently designed and implemented using Microsoft Access; however, the Chief Information Officer (CIO) of Park University needs some ideas of possible reasons the current Technology Asset Management System designed in Microsoft Access is not currently tracking technology assets as intended.

In a memo style response to the Chief Information Officer (CIO), share-based on your knowledge learned about databases using experience and research, some possible and or hypothetical reasons why the existing database, in this case, is not working as intended?

A study of the career paths of hotel general managers sent questionnaires to an SRS of 210 hotels belonging to major U.S. hotel chains. There were 88 responses. The average time these 88 general managers had spent with their current company was 12.7 years. (Take it as known that the standard deviation of time with the company for all general managers is 3.6 years.)

(a) Find the margin of error for an 85% confidence interval to estimate the mean time a general manager had spent with their current company:  years

(b) Find the margin of error for a 99% confidence interval to estimate the mean time a general manager had spent with their current company:  years

(c) In general, increasing the confidence level  the margin of error (width) of the confidence interval. (Enter: ''DECREASES'', ''DOES NOT CHANGE'' or ''INCREASES'', without the quotes.)
