in March of this year the University Hospitals Fertility Center in Ohio disclosed that more than 4,000 frozen eggs and embryos were lost due to a storage failure. Suppose you are in charge of delivering the news to devastated patients. What recommendations do you have for how to do this? What would you say? How would you feel about having to do this? What supports should be made available to the affected patients? Finally what are your thoughts on the way it was handled by University Hospitals Fertility Center?

Dean Halverson recently read that full-time college students study 20 hours each week. She decides to do a study at her university to see if there is evidence to show that this is not true at her university. A random sample of 32 students were asked to keep a diary of their activities over a period of several weeks. It was found that the average number of hours that the 32 students studied each week was 19.1 hours. The sample standard deviation of 4.2 hours.
Find the p-value.

Problem 2: You have applied to two universities X and Y for graduate admission. There is a .25 chance that you are going to get into X and .20 chance that you are going to get into Y. Keep in mind that admission into the universities is independent events.
a) What is the probability that you are going to get into both universities?
b) What is the probability that you are going to get into at least one university?
c) What is the probability that you are going to get into any one of the university?
d) Are getting into those universities mutually exclusive?

The average GRE score at the University of Pennsylvania for the incoming class of 2016-2017 was 311. Assume that the standard deviation was 13.4. If you select a random sample of 40 students, what is the probability that the sample mean will be less than 313? Round your answer to three decimal places.

Five years ago the average university student owed $19,000 in student-loan debt at the time of graduation. With all the cuts in funding, it is suspected that this amount has gone up. A survey of 45 recent university graduates revealed an average student-loan debt of $20,000. Assume that the population standard deviation is $2,500.
a) Define the parameter of interest (in words), and then formulate the null hypothesis and the alternative hypotheses.
b) Find the p-value and make a conclusion in the context of the question. Use a level of significance of 5% (i.e. α = 0.05).

PQR Ltd is a US-based retailer and it uses LIFO method for valuation of inventory. Following information is obtained from its inventory records for 2019:
Inventory | Units | Unit price $ |
Opening balance | 5000 | 10 |
January purchases | 5000 | 12 |
April purchases | 5000 | 14 |
June purchases | 5000 | 16 |
Sold during 2019 | 19000 |
You are require to answer the following (no calculations are necessary):
In light of US-GAAP, what are your key observations regarding cost of inventory balance and units sold?
What are the potential consequences of current inventory management on profitability and availability of inventory?

Below are the jersey numbers of 11 players randomly selected from a football team. Find the range, variance, and standard deviation for the given sample data. What do the results tell us?
58 59 66 57 3 6 42 25 219 56
Range = 64 (Round to one decimal place as needed.)
Sample standard deviation = (Round to one decimal place as needed.)
Sample variance = (Round to one decimal place as needed.)
What do the results tell us?
A. Jersey numbers are nominal data that are just replacements for names, so the resulting statistics are meaningless.
