Your facility is a large children’s hospital in north Texas. Until recently your facility was part of a larger health care facility run by the state. The facility is now corporately owned and operated. During this reorganization period a major fire occurred at a local elementary school. Over 100 injured children were sent to your facility for care. You encountered many problems: care was delayed and inappropriate for many children because of the nature of their injuries due to lack of parental consent for treatment and smoke inhalation and burns. Your task is to develop a disaster plan specifically to address the deficiencies and to reshape your public image following the fire at the elementary school.

Using this case.

The College Board provided comparisons of Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) scores based on the highest level of education attained by the test taker's parents. A research hypothesis was that students whose parents had attained a higher level of education would on average score higher on the SAT. The overall mean SAT math score was 514. SAT math scores for independent samples of students follow. The first sample shows the SAT math test scores for students whose parents are college graduates with a bachelor's degree. The second sample shows the SAT math test scores for students whose parents are high school graduates but do not have a college degree.

The Gourmand Cooking School runs short cooking courses at its small campus. Management has identified two cost drivers it uses in its budgeting and performance reports—the number of courses and the total number of students. For example, the school might run two courses in a month and have a total of 60 students enrolled in those two courses. Data concerning the company’s cost formulas appear below:

Fixed Cost per Month Cost per Course Cost per
Student
Instructor wages $ 2,950
Classroom supplies $ 280
Utilities $ 1,250 $ 90
Campus rent $ 4,700
Insurance $ 2,300
Administrative expenses $ 3,500 $ 45 $ 5

For example, administrative expenses should be $3,500 per month plus $45 per course plus $5 per student. The company’s sales should average $900 per student.

The company planned to run four courses with a total of 60 students; however, it actually ran four courses with a total of only 54 students. The actual operating results for September were as follows:

Actual
Revenue $ 51,100
Instructor wages $ 11,080
Classroom supplies $ 16,650
Utilities $ 2,020
Campus rent $ 4,700
Insurance $ 2,440
Administrative expenses $ 3,406

One of the authors came across an article (USA Today, 2008) that said that on average Americans have visited 16 states in the United States. In a survey of 50 students in her introductory statistics class, she found the average number of states the students had visited to be 9.48 and the standard deviation to be 7.13. The data were not strongly skewed.​

1. Identify the observational unit for this study.

a. students

b. Americans

c. number of states

2. Identify the variable of interest and whether it is categorical or quantitative.

a. number of U.S. states visited, categorial

b. number of students, quantitative

c. number of students, categorial

d. number of U.S. states visited, quantitative

3. Regardless of your answer to part (c), state the null and the alternative hypotheses in symbols, to test whether the average number of states all students at the author’s school have visited is different from 16.

a. H0: mu = 16, Ha: mu ≠ 16

b. H0: mu = 16, Ha: mu > 16

c. H0: mu = 16, Ha: mu < 16

4. Using the 2SD approach to find a 95% confidence interval for the average number of states all students at the author’s school have visited. Round to two decimal places

Java Input, Output and for-loop function.

Practice01) Write-an average SCORE application called TestScores01 This project reads in a list of integers as SCOREs, one per line, until a sentinel value of -1. After user type in -1, the application should print out how many SCOREs are typed in, what is the max SCORE, the 2nd max SCORE, and the min SCORE, the average SCORE after removing the max and min SCORE.

When SCORE >= 90, the school will give this student scholarship.

Count how many scholarships the school will give and print it our in your results.

(hint, you can add all SCOREs to a total first, then when you need the average SCORE without min and max score, you can use the total - (min + max), then divided it by the (number of inputs minus two)

Please enter test scores:

? 90

? 45

? 99

? 68

? 80

A university claims that the mean time professors are in their offices for students is at least 6.5 hours each week. A random sample of eight professors finds that the mean time in their offices is 6.2 hours each week. With a population standard deviation of 0.49 hours, can the university’s claim be supported at α=0.05?

No, since the test statistic is in the rejection region defined by the critical value, the null is rejected. The claim is the null, so is not supported
Yes, since the test statistic is not in the rejection region defined by the critical value, the null is not rejected. The claim is the null, so is supported
Yes, since the test statistic is in the rejection region defined by the critical value, the null is not rejected. The claim is the null, so is supported
No, since the test statistic is not in the rejection region defined by the critical value, the null is rejected. The claim is the null, so is not supported

Do you Agree or Disagree to the discussion of the Bernie Madoff Accounting Scandal? Explain your thoughts and add any new findings

Accounting Scandal: Bernie Madoff a wall street investment firm founded by Madoff and his accountant David Friehling and Frank Dipascalli. The company tricked investors out of $64.8 billion through the most extensive Ponzi scheme ever buy promising them above market, and steady returns that never existed. The most damage of the Madoff scheme seems to focus on the small world of Jewish philanthropy, where he was a leading figure. The North Shore-Long Island Jewish Health System said it was scheme out of $5 million. The Julian J. Levitt Foundation, based in Texas lost about $ 6 million and the Yeshiva University, a New York institution where Madoff served on the board lost $19 million. This scam ran for over five decades from early 1960 to late 1990. The crash caused several Madoff investors to lose everything forcing some of them to go homeless, live in their cars and RV’s.  

Illegal act/ Unethical act: The investors were paid returns out of their own money or that of other investors than profit, and by doing this the investors were not aware of the illegal activity taking place with their investments. The list of investors that Madoff scheme was not your average person, but prominent peoples such as Steven Spielberg, actor Kevin Bacon, and owners of the New York Mets. There were banks and pension funds that were also schemed by Madoff and his followers. The company made its trades and held the shares it bought and kept its illegal activities hidden from view. The thousands of investors and numerous organization that had invested with Madoff firm directly or indirectly spent the early part of 2009 assessing theirs loses.

Detection: The way that Bernie Madoff got caught he told his sons Mark and Andrew about his scheme months after the 2008 U.S. market collapse. Madoff sons reported him to the SEC. The SEC said that they would have to testify against their father if the investigation goes to trial.

Detection that could have found earlier: The SEC had been investigating Madoff and his securities firm on and off since 1999 a fact that did not go well with the investors that lost their life savings. They felt that if the SEC had warned them of Madoff illegal activities before his arrest and conviction, this would have prevented the scam from going on for so many years.

Penalties: Bernie Madoff pleaded guilty to defrauding his client out of their life-saving in one of the world most massive Ponzi scheme, and for his part, Madoff received 150 years in a maximum-security prison for his crime and had to pay $170 billion restitution and his co-conspirator Friehling and D received light prison time as well. The FBI continued to pursue suspects that may have a hand in the Madoff scheme, including some members of Madoff family. Madoff insisted that his sons had nothing to do with the Ponzi scheme.
