Scenario or Tasks
In September of 2010 a scandal of major and dramatic proportions engulfed the Global automaker, Ambassador (Environmental Protection Agency, News Releases from Headquarters, 2011).
On September 18, 2010, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued a Notice of Violation of the Clean Air Act alleging that the company in its model year 2005-2006 Ambassador and diesel cars had software designed to circumvent EPA emissions standards for nitrogen oxides (Environmental Protection Agency, Ambassador Violations, 2011). The software is defined in the Clean Air Act as a “defeat device” (Environmental Protection Agency, Ambassador Violations, 2011). Then on November 2, 2010, the EPA issued a second notice of violation to Ambassador including Ambassador Diesel vehicles as well as vehicles with larger engines than in the first notice (Environmental Protection Agency, Ambassador Violations, 2011). And on January 4, 2011, the Department of Justice filed a complaint on behalf of the EPA against Ambassador for alleged violations of the Clean Air Act (Environmental Protection Agency, Ambassador Violations, 2011). The complaint, it must be noted, is a civil one; and as such the agency is asking for civil penalties and an injunction (Environmental Protection Agency, News Releases from Headquarters, 2011).
The Problem
• The software inside several Ambassador models was modified
• The computer was able to sense when the car was being tested
• During testing the car reduced emissions below the legal limit
• While driving regularly the car saved fuel but increased emissions
• The original estimate showed 10,000 cars sold since 2009 in the United States
• Over 11 million cars are speculated to have ​this software
How the System Works
• Nitrous Oxide is trapped
• The trap takes fuel to work
• In an effort to save fuel or increase torque and acceleration, the trap was disregarded and not run
• Released way over the legal limit
Discovery
• A Western researcher was testing 2 Ambassador models with the the 2-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder diesel engine
• In urban traffic, emissions are supposed to be high
• Driving on the highway, the Ambassador Models emissions did not go down.
• When on a car treadmill, the emissions were fine
Ethical Protagonist
• Mart Wink, Chief Executive, resigned as a direct result of the scandal. However, he denies any involvement in the issue.
• Wink was replaced by Matt Mueller the former boss of Ambassador Diesel
• Due to widespread scope of issue in the United States and the United Kingdom, corporate must have been involved in some way.
• Two Engineers Responsible: Rich Hacken and Wolf Hat
• Hacken was one of its competitors Chief Engineers.
• Hatz was the developer of formula 1 and racing engines.
• They were two of the engineers suspended in the investigation of the scandal.
You are required to
1. Differentiate between the Ethics of Duty and the Ethics of Virtue? With reference to the above case?​   
2. State and explain the fundamental Canons or principles the management (engineers) hold toward their profession?​   
3. Differentiate between Accounting point of view and ethical point of view with reference to decision model in the above stated situation?​ ​
4. Discuss what actions should be taken against Ambassador?​
5. Elabórate and substantiate due to what happened in the Ambassador case, should other companies face investigations as well?​ ​
6. Differentiate between professional obligations, moral obligations and ethical obligations the managers as well as management will have toward their organisation?​   
7. Identify and discuss the types of ethical theories utilitarianism and deontological ethics with reference to above case.​
8. Critically evaluate the importance of code of ethics to be in one profession and how best it can be integrated with the fundamental principles of ethics.

Does Elevation Affect Temperature Mid-June?
Suppose that you wanted to determine the effect, if any, that elevation has on temperature. The table below lists the elevations (in feet above sea level) of 24 randomly selected cities in the United States and the low temperatures (in degrees Fahrenheit) of these cities on June 15, 2020.

Our eyes can be fooled by how strong a linear relationship is; we need to use a numerical measure, the correlation coefficient, to accurately describe the association between elevation and low temperature. Correlation measures the strength and direction (type) of linear relationships.

This is quite tedious to compute by hand, so we will use our calculator to obtain the value of r.

Using your calculator, press STAT, choose CALC, then 8: LinReg (a+bx). Enter L1, L2. Then press the ENTER key to get the correlation coefficient (rounded to 4 decimal places).

r                                           

Given the value of r above, what is the strength of the linear relationship?            Weak        Moderate      Strong

When a scatterplot shows a linear relationship, we would like to summarize the overall pattern by drawing a line on the scatterplot. A regression line describes how a response variable changes as an explanatory variable changes. The least-squares regression line is the line that makes the sum of the squares of the vertical distances of the data points to the line as small as possible.

The form of the equation of a line is y = a + bx where a is the y-intercept, the value of y when x=0, and b is the slope, the amount y changes when x increases by one unit.


Using your calculator, press STAT, choose CALC, 8: LinReg (a+bx). Enter L1, L2. Then press the ENTER key to get the coefficients for the least-squares regression line (don't round).  

a =                                                      

b =                                                      

The equation of the least-squares regression line is: _________________________________________________

The coefficient of determination, r2, is the proportion of the variation in the values of y that is explained by the linear relationship with x.
