For this week's discussion, the focus will be on examining Porter's Five Forces as a tool for looking at the pressures on profits. Specifically, you will be looking at defining Porter's Five Forces and applying this tool to the market structures and pressures on profits of a chosen group of firms.

Instructions

In your discussion post, address the following:

  • Chose one of the following groups and use Porter's Five Forces to analyze the pressures on profits for your chosen group's firms.
    • Group 1: the accommodations industry (e.g., Hilton, Marriott Bonvoy, InterContintental Hotel Group).
    • Group 2: the wireless telecommunications industry (e.g., Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile).
  • If you want to dig deeper into how one of the firms views the challenges it faces, you might want to look at the firm's investor page.

A new study was done that included responses from 600 randomly sampled quests, of which 55% said they register using the hotel website. If the true proportion were 50% or less, what is the probability your sample data would produce a sample proportion of 55% or higher? Be sure to set up the two competing hypotheses and provide a statistical conclusion statement at a 2% level of significance for your results.

(Be sure to write out/ calculate how you find X, thank you) (Also, if you know how to find the type 1 error can you explain how you got it?)

2. Using Minitab, repeat the problem. Copy and paste it, please. (can't find it, This is really confusing!)

Identify the sampling method for each scenario.

  1. (a) An orchard farmer subdivides his orchard into 40 parcels of land. He randomly selects 4 parcels and inspects every tree on those parcels for the presence of a particular fungus.
  2. (b) A librarian inspects every fifth book on a shelf starting with the second to determine the number of items missing bar codes.
  3. (c) A hotel leaves customer satisfaction cards in each guest room. At the end of the week, the general manager reads all 60 cards that were filled out by guests that week.
  4. (d) The College of Engineering randomly selects samples from each of its four branches (mechanical, civil, chemical, electrical) to assess the effectiveness of a new program for student advising.

The Japanese harvester beetle has infected several forests in the Northwest. Official estimates are that 17% of trees are infected. You are a park ranger who has been seeing a lot of these beetles lately, and you think the rate is higher in your area. You check 400 trees around your cabin and find that 79 of them are infected.

  • Go through the steps on the Hypothesis Test Guide (D2L). List each step like Step 1, Step 2, etc.
  • Please check the conditions using complete sentences.
  • Please do the calculations out the long way, but definitely use GeoGebra or a calculator stats package to check.
  • Even if the conditions aren’t met, do the rest anyway.
  • Use α = 0.03

Write a creative story to tell about the journey of a jogger from one location in a park to another location. Make up some events and experiences that the jogger goes through on his/her journey. Tell what happens to the jogger throughout the journey (e.g., being chased by a dog or having to slow down for a parade, etc.) As you tell the story, use the terms speed, velocity and acceleration and explain how and why these values change for the jogger as he/she goes through different parts of his/her trip. Your story can be creative and funny or serious as long as you use the terms speed, velocity and acceleration. Make sure that the story conveys the meanings of these terms and the differences between them.

Kim is a 27-year-old woman who recently moved from a small

town in Texas to work in the city of Dallas as a reporter for one

of the major newspapers. She is 5’6” tall and weighs 115 lb. To

keep in shape she likes to jog, which she did regularly in her

hometown. She doesn’t know anyone in Dallas and has been

lonely for her family since arriving. But she has moved into a

small apartment in a quiet neighborhood and hopes to meet

young people soon though her work and church.

On the first Saturday morning after she moved into her new

apartment, Kim decided to get up early and go jogging. It was

still dark out, but Kim was not afraid. She had been jogging

alone in the dark many times in her hometown. She donned her

jogging clothes and headed down the quiet street toward a nearby

park. As she entered the park, an individual came out from a

dense clump of bushes, put a knife to her throat, and ordered her

to the ground. She was raped and beaten unconscious. She

remained in that condition until sunrise when she was found by

another jogger who called emergency services, and Kim was

taken to the nearest emergency department. Upon regaining

consciousness, Kim was hysterical, but a sexual assault nurse

examiner (SANE) was called to the scene, and Kim was assigned

to a quiet area of the hospital, where the post-rape examination

was initiated.

Answer the following questions related to Kim:

1. What are the initial nursing interventions for Kim?

2. What treatments must the nurse ensure that Kim is aware

are available for her?

3. What nursing diagnosis would the nurse expect to focus on

with Kim in follow-up care?
