|
| B. |
There is sufficient evidence at the 1% significance level of a difference in dorm room satisfaction among the various years. |
|
| C. |
There is sufficient evidence at the 5% significance level, but not at the 1% significance level, of a difference in dorm room satisfaction among the various years. |
|
| D. |
With P = 0.1117 there is not sufficient evidence of a difference in in dorm room satisfaction among the various years. |

7. A controversial issue in the sport of professional soccer is the use of instant replay for making difficult goal line devisions. Each person in a representative sample of 102 players, fans, coaches, and officials was asked his or her opinion about the use of instant replay for goal line decisions. The data are summarized in the two way frequency table below.
| Opinion | |||
| Category | Favor Use | Oppose Use | |
| Players | 22 | 2 | |
| Fans | 18 | 6 | |
| Coaches | 15 | 26 | |
| Officials | 3 | 10 |
In testing to see whether opinion with respect to the use of instant replay is independent of the category of the person interviewed, a chi square test statistic of 27.99 and a p value less than 0.001 were calculated which of the following statements is correct?
| A. |
The number of degrees of freedom for the test is 8 - 1 = 7 |
|
| B. |
The chi square test should not have been used because two of the counts in the table are less than 5. |
|
| C. |
The null hypothesis sates that there is an association between category and opinion about the use of instant replay, and the small p value suggests that the null hypothesis should be rejected. |
|
| D. |
The small p value suggests that there is evidence of an association between category and the opinion about the use of instant replay. |
|
| E. |
The chi square test shows that fans favor the use of instant replay. |

Recent revenue shortfalls in a midwestern state led to a reduction in the state budget for higher education. To offset the reduction, the largest state university proposed a 25% tuition increase. It was determined that such an increase was needed simply to compenstate for the lost support from the state. Separate random samples of 50 freshmen, 50 sophomores, 50 juniors, and 50 seniors from the university were asked whether they were strongly opposed to the increase, given that it was the minimum increase necessary to maintain the university's budget at current levels. Here are the results.
| Strong Opposed | Freshman | Sophomore | Junior | Senior |
| Yes | 39 | 36 | 29 | 18 |
| No | 11 | 14 | 21 | 32 |
Which hypothesis would be appropriate for performing a chi square test?
| A. |
The null hypothesis that is the closer students get to graduation, the less likely they are to be opposed to tuition increases. The alternative is that how close students are to graduation makes no difference in their opinion. |
|
| B. |
The null hypothesis is that the mean number of students who are strongly opposed is the same for each of the 4 years. The alternative is the mean is the different for at least 2 of the 4 years. |
|
| C. |
The null hypothesis is that the distribution of student opinion about the proposed tuition increase is the same for each of the 4 years at the university. The alternative is that the distribution is different for at least 2 of the 4 years. |
|
| D. |
The null hypothesis is that year in school and student opinion about the tuition increase in the sample are independent. The alternative is that these variables are dependent. |
|
| E. |
The null hypothesis is that there is an association between year in school and opinion about the tuition increase at the university. The alternative hypothesis is that these variables are not associated. |

Answer the following questions using the annual report of Colgate in Appendix A. Required: a. For 2009, 2010, and 2011 identify Colgate’s (1) tax payment/obligation if it paid the statutory tax rate, (2) tax provision made in the books, and (3) the actual tax payment/obligation. Broadly quantify how Colgate’s statutory tax payment differs from its actual tax payment. Also explain why these differences occur. b. What is Colgate’s effective tax rate for each of the three years? Why is it different from its statutory tax rate? Explain at least one of these differences in detail. c. What is Colgate’s tax provision? Why is it different from its tax obligation/payment? d. You are in the process of forecasting Colgate’s income for the next year. What tax rate would you apply to your forecast and why? (Come up with a rate if possible.) e. Examine Colgate’s deferred tax assets and liabilities. Explain why they arise in general. Provide a detailed explanation of how at least two of the deferred assets/liabilities arise and “guess” at the approximate duration over which these assets/liabilities are expected to reverse. f. Examine the “movement” in the deferred tax assets/liabilities between 2011 and 2010 and explain the major changes.

Suppose that there is a white urn containing two white balls and three red balls and there is a red urn containing two white balls and four red balls. An experiment consists of selecting at random a ball from the white urn and then (without replacing the first ball) selecting at random a ball from the urn having the color of the first ball. Find the probability that the second ball is red.

Professional Development Event Review
Carrier- information Technology (IT)
Part of developing as a professional in any career path is attending events that can further your knowledge of a field. This can be in the form of seminars, webinars, conferences, workshops, and sometimes online training if you are learning a new technical skill. The completion of this assignment requires two parts, which should take up 3-4 pages.
Part 1: Attend 3 (or more) events related to the computing profession and reflect on them. These could be workshops, seminars, training, information sessions, conferences, panels, etc. The Career Fair does not count as a professional development event. Describe what you learned in the event and how it can help you in the future of your career. Also, critique the event and explain how it could have been made better and/or what you particularly liked about it. If you are already working with a company that offers professional development, that will be a great resource to pull from!
Part 2: Imagine that you are an employer in charge of creating a seminar to train or help develop new professionals in your company. Explain your seminar. Some questions to consider answering: What would it be about? Who would it be for? How would you go about presenting it? What do you hope your new employees will gain from the seminar? How will you know they got something from the event?

The following explanation and table summarizes the results of a
two-factor ANOVA evaluating an independent-measures
experiment.
-Depressed people are given two different types of treatments:
Exercise, and Psychological Therapy.
-Factor A is exercise, and there are 3 levels: intense exercise,
moderate exercise, or no exercise.
-Factor B is therapy, and there are 2 levels: Cognitive Behavior
Therapy and Treatment as Usual.
-There are n = 8 participants in each treatment condition. Use the
lecture notes as your guide for this problem.
A: State the three different hypotheses for this test
B: What are the critical values for the main effect of factor A? Factor B? Interaction effect?
C: If alpha is .05, is there a significant effect for factor A, factor B, and/or the interaction of A and B?
D: If the p value associated with the finding for Factor A was .02, what would this mean about the relationship with the null distribution?
E: Fill in this table

You are an assistant Human Resource Manager at Company X. You have had this job for two years, and you love it. You have a great opportunity to become the manager within the year as your immediate boss is nearing retirement. One day, the president of the company comes by your desk to ask you for “a favour”. He has just hired a “rock star” CEO and wants you to enroll her in the company benefits program right away and waive the required 6 months probationary period. He really wants to make a good impression with her and roll out the red carpet. The policy is that all employees must wait 6 months before enrolling in any company benefits program. You are well aware of the policy because when you were first hired, you needed new glasses and had to wait 6 months for coverage even though you had asked for a waiver. What do you do? Explain your decision using the four ethical decision-making criteria discussed in class and in your textbook.
