Chapter 14: Put It in Writing Activity:

Suppose that a survey reveals that first-graders from various ethnic groups in a local school hold prejudiced attitudes toward one another. Imagine that you have been hired to develop a program to help these children become less prejudiced and more accepting of members of other ethnic groups.

Write a one-page description of two or three classroom activities that would help you accomplish this goal and tell why you think they would work. Do you think these activities could be successful in eliminating all prejudiced thinking in the children? Why or why not?

Which of these situations fit the conditions for using Bernoulli​ trials? Explain. ​a) You are rolling 8 dice and need to get at least three 1s to win the game. ​b) We record the distribution of home states of customers visiting our website. ​c) A committee consisting of 8 men and 12 women selects a delegation of 5 to attend a professional meeting at random. What is the probability they choose all​ women? ​d) A study found that 58​% of M.B.A. students admit to cheating. A business school dean surveys all the students in the graduating class and gets responses in which cheating was admitted by 322 of 549 students.

Socialization (NOTE: Don’t get this term confused with “socializing” as in hanging out with people…) is the process by which we learn societal expectations. In other words, it’s how we learn how “to be” in this world – how to think, how to feel, how to behave, how to treat others, how to view ourselves, etc. There are 6 agents of socialization, meaning the sources (people, social structures) that pass on the social expectations: Family, Peers, Religion, Media, Schools, & Sports. Consider these agents and your own personal experiences. In what ways did your family socialize you? What about religion? School? Share at least one example.

Mr. Gates is the president of an established and successful company. The company pays Mr. Gates $1,000,000 in salary each year. Mr. Gates, a renowned philanthropist, has directed the board of directors to pay him nothing for the year and instead use the $1,000,000 to which he is otherwise entitled to create a scholarship fund. The fund, which he would help oversee, would be used to create scholarships for worthy high school students otherwise unable to afford college.

What are the tax ramifications to Mr. Gates and to the company? Please cite all resources in your research. One keyword term to start your search is “assignment of income.”

Question 8. There are two types of works: some have a high productivity, aH, and some have low productivity, aL. Workers can get a job after leaving high school or they can 2 go to college at a cost of cH for high productivity workers and cL for low productivity workers. Assume that aH > aL > 0 and cL > cH > 0. Education has no impact on productivity. Describe a separating equilibrium in which employers pay workers a wage equal to the expected productivity conditional on the level of education. What conditions must be satisfied by the parameters aH, aL, cH and cL in order for such as separating equilibrium to exist?

This assignment is about creating a blog and a research about working for The Office of Career Services at a school. Answer the following questions based on your team project The Office of Career Services. Pretty much we are making up this job so you can include any vendors and any inter-enterprise. (you can just make-up your own idea or use imagination) .

1. What are CRM, ERP and EAI? Who are the major ERP vendors? Does your company use one of them?
2. What is an inter-enterprise IS? Does your company have one? Should it?

Find and review videoclips and articles involving press conferences or media releases about one of the following incidents: The Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in December 2012; the Pulse Nightclub shooting in Orlando in June 2016; the Las Vegas shootings of October 2017; or the ongoing Coronavirus/COVID-19 crisis. What is your assessment of those press conferences or media releases in terms of the content and tone of the messages or information, the skills and poise of those being interviewed or serving as spokespersons, the frequency of the crisis communications, and the media involved? What was done well, and what wasn’t? Were there any audiences or media that appeared to be overlooked?

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.

(a)

Formulate the hypotheses that can be used to determine whether the sample data support the hypothesis that students show a higher population mean math score on the SAT if their parents attained a higher level of education. (Let μ₁ = population mean verbal score of students whose parents are college graduates with a bachelor's degree and μ₂ = population mean verbal score of students whose parents are high school graduates but do not have a college degree.)

H₀: μ₁ − μ₂ ≤ 0

H_a: μ₁ − μ₂ > 0

H₀: μ₁ − μ₂ ≠ 0

H_a: μ₁ − μ₂ = 0

H₀: μ₁ − μ₂ ≥ 0

H_a: μ₁ − μ₂ < 0

H₀: μ₁ − μ₂ = 0

H_a: μ₁ − μ₂ ≠ 0

H₀: μ₁ − μ₂ < 0

H_a: μ₁ − μ₂ = 0

(b)

What is the point estimate of the difference between the means for the two populations?

(c)

Find the value of the test statistic. (Round your answer to three decimal places.)

Compute the p-value for the hypothesis test. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

p-value =

(d)

At

α = 0.05,

what is your conclusion?

Do not Reject H₀. There is sufficient evidence to conclude that higher population mean verbal scores are associated with students whose parents are college graduates. Reject H₀. There is insufficient evidence to conclude that higher population mean verbal scores are associated with students whose parents are college graduates.     Reject H₀. There is sufficient evidence to conclude that higher population mean verbal scores are associated with students whose parents are college graduates.Do not reject H₀. There is insufficient evidence to conclude that higher population mean verbal scores are associated with students whose parents are college graduates.

1. You have chosen biology as your college major because you would like to be a medical doctor. However, you find that the probability of being accepted to medical school is about 20 percent. If you are accepted to medical school, then your starting salary when you graduate will be $320,000 per year. However, if you are not accepted, then you would choose to work in a zoo, where you will earn $46,000 per year. Without considering the additional years you would spend in school if you study medicine or the time value of money.

Pick at least two actions (may be discussed in two separate posts) from the following list of parental actions and decide under what circumstances each of them can be discipline or abuse. This should be based on your own beliefs, but carefully explain your choices. In your explanation, you should consider the severity and nature of the punishment, the age of child, the seriousness and nature of the child’s behavior, the possible consequences of the parental action, and the frequency of the punishment (a punishment which occurs once may be OK, but the same punishment may be harmful if repeated.)
