Hey can you please answer this question in detail and explanation in your own word i need to post in discussion board

  1. Are there ethical issues to consider when designing a database? For example, should highly sensitive personal data (such as patient medical information) be stored in the same database that manages and contains office supply inventories? Why or why not?
  2. Suggest three situations where referential integrity and relationships, inherent in a relational database management system (RDBMS), avoids data problems.
  3. Do a bit of research on the Internet regarding the differences between SQL-based vs. NoSQL type databases. If you were designing a college course registration system for MC3 which database type would you recommend for the system's "back-end" and why?

Be sure to give thought to each assigned question before posting.

Cultural analysts have argued that privacy is less important to a generation that grew up with YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, and texting. On the other hand, this same generation has grown up with database technology more ubiquitous and capable than ever before. Think about how many times this week you've been involved (knowingly or not) with database systems. How do you think the tension between privacy and database technology will or should play out as powerful database applications become ever more pervasive in our world?

Don't just post your opinion -- do some research and cite studies, give anecdotal examples, create hypotheticals, etc. You must include cites. Your post can be insightful and creative, it can be scholarly, or it can be both; it should not be just your personal opinion.

Part A:  In each of the following circumstances, determine whether the disposal would qualify as a discontinued operation.  All companies are calendar year companies and the transactions are occurring in 2018. Give citations from the ASC to justify your answer.

1.      An entity manufactures and sells consumer products that are grouped into five major product lines. Each product line includes several individual products that comprise the lowest where operations and cash flows that can be clearly distinguished, operationally and for financial reporting purposes, from the rest of the entity.  Product line 1 is made up of almost 100 different individual products. Due to declining sales, 3 products in Product line 1 were discontinued during the year.

2.         An entity manufactures and sells consumer products that are grouped into       five major product lines. Each product line includes several brands that       comprise the lowest where operations and cash flows that can be clearly            distinguished, operationally and for financial reporting purposes, from the           rest of the entity.  Product line 3 which makes up between 20 & 25% of the            entity’s total revenues has experienced significant market declines while the   other product lines have been growing.  As a result, the entity has decided to           sale its operations associated with Product line 3.

3.         An entity operates restaurants in several states. For that entity, each   restaurant comprises operations and cash flows that can be clearly distinguished, operationally and for financial reporting purposes, from the       rest of the entity.  As a result of an above market offer for two of its   restaurants in the state of Alabama, the entity sold these restaurants. These            two restaurants produced between 1 & 3% of the entity’s total revenues and            comprised about 1.5% of the entity’s total assets.

Part B. ABC Co. decided on March 3, 2018 to dispose of their Widget Segment. The sale of the segment was completed on November 13, 2018.  The disposal of this segment qualifies as a discontinued operation.  Income Statement data for ABC for calendar years 2016-2018 are as follows:

A retrospective study conducted in Japan in 1975 investigated the relationship between Smoking and Lung Cancer. After the study was done, the 2000 people in the sample were classified by whether the had died from Lung Cancer (LC) or not (NLC) and by whether they had been smokers (S) or non-smokers (NS) during their lifetimes. The final table produced from the sample looked like this:

S

NS

NLC

(3a) In this sample, of those who died from Lung Cancer, what percentage were Smokers?

(3b) In this sample, of those who did not die from Lung Cancer, what percentage were Smokers?

(3c) If the presence of Lung Cancer were independent of Smoking, fill in the four expected cell counts in the table below (subject to the marginal constraints given).

S

LC

(3d) The expected cell counts found in part (3c) are rather different from the values actually observed when the sample was taken. Perform a χ2 test of Independence on these data vs. the alternative that Lung Cancer victims are more likely to be Smokers. Report the X2 value, the degrees of freedom, and the approximate P-value. Show explicit work and/or tell what R commands you used to obtain the results.

(3e) Give a brief statement (2 or 3 complete English sentences) explaining your conclusions from the test which you applied in part (3d).
