You work for a relatively large company in which many of your co-workers
need to make presentations and sales pitches to customers and clients.
Management is not happy with the way the employees have been delivering these
presentations and sales pitches. Because of your experience with public
speaking, you have been asked to conduct a workshop to enhance the skills of
your co-workers. Identify and discuss three or more important concepts or
practices that might help them. Be specific and use clear and detailed examples
to illustrate your points.

A kayak race is held each August on the South Arm of Lake Charlevoix, Charlevoix County, Michigan. The "course" starts at the public launch in East Jordan, MI and ends at the DNR launch at Dutchman's Bay, a distance of approximately two nautical miles. Participants are individual paddlers in identical Old Town sit inside Sorrento 106sk kayaks. The organizer wants to investigate if there is a relationship between the amount of experience (three categories) and minutes to complete the course. She wants to control for age. She also wants suggestions about other data that might be collected to find additional relationships (e.g. water temperature).
The data from a random sample from a recent year's event is provided below:

Research Scenario: You have been raising Bombina orientalis, or Oriental fire-bellied toads, and measured the frogs’ jumps in centimeters. Your latest study looks at males and females’ reactions to being raised in a room with another animal. You set up three terrariums, each with six male and six female frogs. Each terrarium is in a separate room. Let A1 = male frogs, A2 =female frogs, B1 = frogs raised in a room with a dog, B2 = frogs raised in a room with a cat, and B3 = frogs raised in a room with a parrot.

5 Sales system deficiencies
RST Co supplies a wide range of garden and agricultural products to
trade and domestic customers. The company has 11 divisions, with
each division specialising in the sale of specific products, for
example, seeds, garden furniture, agricultural fertilizers. The
company has an internal audit department which provides audit
reports to the audit committee on each division on a rotational
basis.
Products in the seed division are offered for sale to domestic
customers via an internet site. Customers review the product list
on the internet and place orders for packets of seeds using
specific product codes, along with their credit card details, onto
RST Co's secure server. Order quantities are normally between one
and three packets for each type of seed. Order details are
transferred manually onto the company's internal inventory control
and sales system, and a two part packing list is printed in the
seed warehouse. Each order and packing list is given a random
alphabetical code based on the name of the employee inputting the
order, the date, and the products being ordered.
In the seed warehouse, the packages of seeds for each order are
taken from specific bins and dispatched to the customer with one
copy of the packing list. The second copy of the packing list is
sent to the accounts department where the inventory and sales
computer is updated to show that the order has been dispatched. The
customer's credit card is then charged by the inventory control and
sales computer. Bad debts in RST are currently 3% of total
sales.
Finally, the computer system checks that for each charge made to a
customer's credit card account, the order details are on file to
prove that the charge was made correctly. The order file is marked
as completed confirming that the order has been dispatched and
payment obtained.
Required
(a) In respect of sales in the seeds division of RST Co, prepare a
report to be sent to the audit committee of RST Co which:
Identifies and explains five deficiencies in that sales
system
Explains the possible effect of each deficiency
Provides a recommendation to alleviate each deficiency
(Note. Up to 2 marks will be awarded for presentation.)
(b) Explain the advantages to RST Co of having an audit committee.
(Total = 20 marks)

We assume that our wages will increase as we gain experience and become more valuable to our employers. Wages also increase because of inflation. By examining a sample of employees at a given point in time, we can look at part of the picture. How does length of service (LOS) relate to wages? The data here (data297.dat) is the LOS in months and wages for 60 women who work in Indiana banks. Wages are yearly total income divided by the number of weeks worked. We have multiplied wages by a constant for reasons of confidentiality.
(a) Plot wages versus LOS. Consider the relationship and whether
or not linear regression might be appropriate. (Do this on paper.
Your instructor may ask you to turn in this graph.)
(b) Find the least-squares line. Summarize the significance test
for the slope. What do you conclude?
| Wages = | + LOS |
| t = | |
| P = |
(c) State carefully what the slope tells you about the relationship
between wages and length of service.
(d) Give a 95% confidence interval for the slope.
