Peter is a twenty-year-old Caucasian college student referred for counseling by the dean of academic affairs. Peter has been suspended from school for drinking and fighting on two occasions over the past six weeks. He has a history of recurrent detentions and classroom dismissals for similar, though less severe, behavior since high school. Peter was suspended for having a pint of vodka and a small quantity of marijuana in his locker. Peter has recently started experiencing mood swings and is feeling depressed and agitated. Earlier, having felt that the stress of home life was the root cause of his depression, Peter thought that leaving home and living on-campus would resolve his mood swings. He has been practicing self-medication with marijuana and alcohol. He disclosed that he had been prescribed medication for depression when he was in high school but has since then stopped all medication and follow-up on mental health counseling. Presently, he has no desire to enter or seek treatment voluntarily. He has come in for therapy only to avoid being expelled from the college. He denies having any problem with either alcohol or drugs and feels marijuana should be legalized. In addition, he compares his alcohol and drug use to others' and does not think his intake of substances is a problem. He feels that everyone is just picking on him; he works hard and should be allowed to do. He takes alcohol or marijuana because he just wants to relax after a tough day's work. Based on your understanding of the above scenario and drawing upon all relevant course material, address the following questions: Does Peter have a co-occurring mental disorder? Describe what that disorder may be based on the symptoms mentioned in the case scenario.Analyze and justify the co-occurring disorders in the case. At what stage of change does Peter appear to be in? Why? Explain. What model of treatment could possibly work with Peter? Would he do well with a psycho-educational model, CBT, behavioral approach? Why? Share your clinical recommendations based on research. What are the relapse concerns? Are there any noted defense mechanisms intact?

Statistical Methods of Business I – Case Study

Texas is home to more than one million undocumented immigrants, and most of them are stuck in low-paying jobs. Meanwhile, the state also suffers from a lack of skilled workers. The Texas Workforce Commission estimates that 133,000 jobs are currently unfilled, many because employers cannot find qualified applicants (The Boston Globe, September 29, 2011). Texas was the first state to pass a law that allows children of undocumented immigrants to pay in-state college tuition rates if they have lived in Texas for three years and plan to become permanent residents. The law passed easily back in 2001 because most legislators believed that producing college graduates and keeping them in Texas benefits the business community. In addition, since college graduates earn more money, they also provide the state with more revenue.

Chuck Norris, who sits on the Board of Directors for the Texas Workforce Commission suggests the board should hire your consulting firm, Stat Solutions, to estimate the mean hourly wage of workers with various levels of education. You accept the job and a sample is collected of the hourly wages of 30 Texas workers with a bachelor’s degree or higher, 30 Texas workers with only a high school diploma, and 30 Texas workers who did not finish high school.

Chuck wants you to provide a full report for him to present at the next meeting of the Texas Workforce Commission Board of Directors which occurs in 10 days.

Requirements and associated point values:

Part 1 – Calculate and use descriptive statistics to compare hourly wages for each of the education levels. Be sure to include the mean, standard deviation and margin of error with 95% confidence for each of the 3 levels (9 calculations). These calculations range in value from 3-4 points each for a total of 33 points. Note: See page 293 for the margin of error formula.

 

Part 2 – Construct and interpret 95% confidence intervals for the mean hourly wage at each education level. There should be an upper and lower number for each of the 3 levels. The end result should be 6 numbers which are valued at 3 points each for a total of 18 points.

  1. Refer to the Campus Crime dataset in the EXCEL file. This data comes from a study of 20 campuses selected at random from a list of four-year schools in the continental U.S. Variables include:

  • Number of Crimes reported during the most recent reporting year.
  • Number of Police on the school’s police force during the most recent reporting year.
  • Total Enrollment at the school during the most recent reporting year.
  • Total Expenditure ($) on police protection by the school during the most recent reporting year.
  • An indicator of whether the school is public or private (1 = Private, 0 = Public)

Further information that may be relevant is that there are 629 public and 1845 private four year institutions in the continental US, enrolling 6.838 million and 4.162 million, respectively during the most recent reporting year.

  1. (For part A, assume that you only have columns A and E in the dataset). In an appropriate way, report an interval estimate of the total number of crimes on 4-year college campuses across the U.S. during the most recent reporting year. Briefly also discuss why your method is appropriate.
  2. (For part B, you should use any part of the data you determine to be relevant). In an appropriate way, report an interval estimate of the total number of crimes on 4-year college campuses across the U.S. during the most recent reporting year. Briefly also discuss why your method is more appropriate than the method you used in (a).
  3. Compare and contrast your estimates from (a) and (b). Identify the differences and explain why the estimates are different.
  4. (For part D, again use any part of the data you deem relevant). Estimate the protection cost per police officer for all 4-year colleges across the nation. Briefly also discuss why your method is appropriate.
  5. (For part E, again use any part of the data you deem relevant). Estimate the protection cost per enrolled student for all 4-year colleges across the nation. Briefly also discuss why your method is appropriate.

THE MBA DECISION Ben Bates graduated from college six years ago with a finance undergraduate degree. Since graduation, he has been employed in the finance department at East Coast Yachts. Although he is satisfied with his current job, his goal is to become an investment banker. He feels that an MBA degree would allow him to achieve this goal. After examining schools, he has narrowed his choice to either Wilton University or Mount Perry College. Although internships are encouraged by both schools, to get class credit for the internship, no salary can be paid. Other than internships, neither school will allow its students to work while enrolled in its MBA program. Ben’s annual salary at East Coast Yachts is $61,000 per year, and his salary is expected to increase at 3 percent per year until retirement. He is currently 28 years old and expects to work for 40 more years. His current job includes a fully paid health insurance plan, and his current average tax rate is 25 percent. Ben has a savings account with enough money to cover the entire cost of his MBA program. The Ritter College of Business at Wilton University is one of the top MBA programs in the country. The MBA degree requires two years of full-time enrollment at the university. The annual tuition is $65,000, payable at the beginning of each school year. Books and other supplies are estimated to cost $2,800 per year. Ben expects that after graduation from Wilton, he will receive a job offer for about $107,000 per year, with an $20,000 signing bonus. The salary at this job will increase at 4 percent per year. Because of the higher salary, his average income tax rate will increase to 30 percent. The Bradley School of Business at Mount Perry College began its MBA program 16 years ago. The Bradley School is smaller and less well known than the Ritter College. Bradley offers an accelerated, one-year program, with a tuition cost of $78,000 to be paid upon matriculation. Books and other supplies for the program are expected to cost $4,000. Ben thinks that after graduation from Mount Perry, he will receive an offer of $90,000 per year, with a $17,000 signing bonus. The salary at this job will increase at 3.5 percent per year. His average income tax rate at this level of income will be 28 percent. Both schools offer a health insurance plan that will cost $3,500 per year, payable at the beginning of the year. Ben also estimates that room and board expenses will cost $2,500 more per year at both schools than his current expenses, payable at the beginning of each year. The appropriate discount rate is 6.2 percent. Assume all salaries are paid at the end of each year.

CASE STUDY: CRYSTAL SMITH Crystal Smith, a 33-year old African American homemaker, cake to an outpatient...

CASE STUDY: CRYSTAL SMITH

Crystal Smith, a 33-year old African American homemaker, cake to an outpatient clinic seeking “someone to talk to” about feelings of despair that had intensified over the previous 8-10 months. She was particularly upset about marital conflict and an uncharacteristic mistrust of her in-laws.

Ms. Smith said she had begun to wake before dawn, feeling down and tearful. She had difficulty getting out of bed and completing her usual household activities. At times, she felt guilty for not being her “usual self.” At other times, she became easily irritated with her husband and her in-laws for minor transgressions. She had previously relied on her mother-in-law to assist with the children, but she no longer entirely trusted her with that responsibility. That worry, in combination with her insomnia and fatigue, made it very difficult for Ms. Smith to get her children to school on time. In the past few months, she had lost 13 pounds without dieting. She denied current suicidal ideation, saying she “would never do something like that,” but acknowledged having thought that she “should just give up” and that she “would be better off dead.”

Two months previously, Ms. Smith had seen a psychiatrist for several weeks and received an anti-depressant. She reluctantly gave it a try, discontinuing it quickly because it made her feel tired. She had also dropped out of therapy, indicating that the psychiatrist didn’t seem to understand her.

Ms. Smith lived with her husband of 13 years and two school-age children. Her husband’s parents lived next door. She said her marriage was good, although her husband suggested she “go see someone” so that she would not be “yelling at everyone all the time.” While historically sociable, she rarely talked to her own mother and sister, much less her friends. A regular churchgoer, she had quit attending because she felt her faith was “weak.” Her pastor had always been supportive, but she had not contacted him with her problems because “he wouldn’t want to hear about these kinds of issues.”

Ms. Smith described herself as having been an outgoing, friendly child. She grew up with her parents and three siblings. She recalled feeling quite upset at age 10-11 when her parents divorced and her mom remarried. Because of fights with other kids at school, she met with a school counselor with whom she felt a bond. Unlike the psychiatrist she had recently consulted, Ms. Smith felt the counselor did not “get into my business” and helped her recover. She said she became quieter as she entered junior high school, with fewer friends and little interest in studying. She married her husband at age 20 and worked in retail sales until the birth of their first child when she was 23 years old.

Ms. Smith had not used alcohol since her first pregnancy and denied any use of illicit substances. She denied past and current use of prescribed medications, other than the brief trial of the antidepressant medication. She reported generally good health.

On the mental status examination, Ms. Smith was a casually groomed young woman who was cohere and goal-directed. She had difficulty making eye contact with the white middle-aged therapist. She was cooperative but mildly guarded and slow to respond. She needed encouragement to elaborate her thinking. She was periodically tearful and generally appeared sad. She denied psychosis, although reported occasionally feeling mistrustful of her family. She denied confusion, hallucinations, suicidality, or homicidality. Cognition, insight, and judgment were all considered normal.
