A researcher wants to know whether supplements affect how long vampires can go without requiring human blood. She took one sample of vampires (n = 10). Half received a placebo first and the supplement second, while the other half received the sup- plement first and the placebo second. She then recorded how many days the vampires could go without consuming human blood for each condition. The goal of the study was to see whether there would be any difference between supplement and placebo. Conduct the appropriate t-test for these data (α = 0.05) and calculate a confidence interval (95%) as a measure of effect size. Assume all assumptions for the test are met. (See table below for sample data.)
Given all of this informations, the researchers obtained a t test statistic of tobtained = −2.08. They also found an effect size of a 95% CI[−9.39, 0.39].
1. What kind of t-test was this? Independent-samples or repeated-measures?
2. Write the hypotheses for this kind of t-test.
3. Given the data shown, state the correct conclusion. (You’ll have to find your critical region first.)
4. Write an interpretation of the findings. Make sure that your conclusion paragraph includes all the important statistics: your t, df, alpha, and effect size, as well as the individual group means. Also make sure that you include a plain English statement at the end.

The Australian Government Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) is setting up a new, special task force to be known as the Australian National Department of Young Scholarly (ANDYS) Researchers. The purpose of ANDYS Researchers is to have the brightest young minds in Australia develop profile presentations for a range of countries that Australian firms may be looking to expand into. These profile presentations will be vital in providing critical analyses of some of the key issues for Australian firms in their international expansion. As star students from one of the world's best universities in Monash, you have recently been drafted into ANDYS Researchers.
Your first task is to select a country
Using relevant concepts and measures, analyse the level of both economic development and human development in your chosen country. As part of your answer, explain which measure (economic or human development) is of greater significance to an Australian firm considering establishing a presence in that country.
Using at least one (1) classical trade theory, identify and explain which industries your chosen country should specialise in when looking to trade with other countries. Should your chosen country specialise in just those industries where it is more efficient than other countries, or in those 2-3 industries that it is most efficient at (regardless of how this compares to other countries)? Justify your choice using theory.

On October 5, 2020, Diamond in the Flounder Recruiting Group Inc.’s board of directors decided to dispose of the Blue Division. A formal plan was approved. Diamond derives approximately 73% of its income from its human resources management practice. The Blue Division gets contracts to perform human resources management on an outsourced basis. The board decided to dispose of the division because of unfavourable operating results. Net income for Diamond was $95,970 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 (after a charge for tax at 30% and after a writedown for the Blue assets). Income from operations of the Blue Division accounted for $4,270 (after tax) of this amount. Because of the unfavourable results and the extreme competition, the board believes that it cannot sell the business intact. Its final decision is to auction off the office equipment. The equipment is the division’s only asset and has a carrying value of $23,000 at October 5, 2020. The board believes that proceeds from the sale will be approximately $6,000 after the auction expenses. Currently, the equipment’s estimated fair value is $9,600. The Blue Division qualifies for treatment as a discontinued operation. Diamond prepares financial statements in accordance with ASPE.
Prepare a partial income statement for Diamond in the Flounder Recruiting Group. The income statement should begin with income from continuing operations before income tax.

In the past, SHR has relied on a collection of individual
policies to communicate its expectations regarding
compliance with laws, regulations, and internal operating
practices. The senior vice president – legal, who
also is designated as SHR’s CCO, has determined that the company
has grown to a size and operating
complexity necessitating an integrated code of ethics and business
conduct (the “code”). He has assembled
a team consisting of personnel from the legal, human resources, and
internal audit functions to develop
this code.
Scenario 1 Activities
1. Explain why it is important to include representatives from the
legal, human resources, and internal
audit functions in the development of the code. What other areas of
the organization, if any, should
also be consulted when developing the code?
2. Based on the background and case facts describing SHR
Corporation’s business, identify the types of
laws and regulations that the company is subject to and should
consider for inclusion in the code.
3. Develop an outline for SHR’s code listing the sections that
should be considered to create a robust,
comprehensive code. There is no need to develop any of these
sections; simply create the outline.
4. Describe ways for communicating the new code and providing the
necessary training to employees
and new hires.
5. There are other key elements to an effective compliance and
ethics program. Discuss the value of the
following:
a. Annual certification of compliance.
b. Whistleblower hotline.
c. Escalation and investigation process.
d. Disciplinary action process.
e. Compliance program audits.

Rossi Industries has payroll processes as described in the following paragraphs: When a new employee is hired, the human resources department completes a personnel action form and forwards it to the payroll department. The form contains information such as pay rate, number of exemptions for tax purposes, and the type and amount of payroll deductions. When an employee is terminated or voluntarily separates from Rossi, the human resources department completes a personnel action form to indicate separation and forwards it to the payroll department. Each employee in the production department maintains his own time card weekly. Employees fill out their time cards in ink each day, and at the end of the week, the time cards are forwarded to the payroll department. Employees in the payroll department use the time cards and employee records to prepare a weekly paycheck for each employee who has turned in a time card. A copy of the payroll checks is forwarded to the accounts payable department, and the original payroll checks are forwarded to the cash disbursements department to be signed. The payroll department updates the payroll subsidiary ledger. After the paychecks are signed, they are given to department supervisors to distribute. Any unclaimed checks are returned to the payroll department. Required: 1. Prepare a process map of the payroll processes at Rossi. 2. Identify both internal control strengths and internal control weaknesses of the payroll processes. 3. For any internal control weaknesses, describe suggested improvements

The Dove Spa was a massage parlor, which the police suspected was operating as a prostitution enterprise, but they had no direct evidence to prove it. The police department decided to initiate an undercover operation in which a plainclothes detective entered and asked for the services of one of the women working there. The woman, of course, did not know he was a police officer, or was wearing a hidden microphone. For $100 and a $35 tip, she fondled the officer’s genitals. The same officer went back to the massage parlor four more times. Over a period of five months, the same officer also visited the massage parlor in another town and allowed the women, who were Chinese immigrants, to fondle him in exchange for cash. This was done in an apparent effort to investigate suspected prostitution and human trafficking. Ultimately, 30 police officers raided two businesses and arrested six people—four alleged prostitutes and two alleged pimps. The undercover methods were defended by the police, but were criticized by legal experts and women’s advocates as “excessive, unnecessary, and misapplied” to an investigation that involved suspected human trafficking.
Evaluate the moral permissibility of police officer’s actions in conducting this investigation using the critical thinking skills listed below:
-Isolate and evaluate the relevant facts on both sides
, -Identify the precise moral question to be answered, and
- Apply ethical principles to the moral question based on an objective evaluation of the facts, only then drawing a conclusion.
