Evaluation of the AICPA Code of Professional Conduct Provisions

Write a 750-word essay on a principle from the AICPA principles section of the Code of Professional Conduct Provisions. Include the following in your essay:

1) Identify 1 of the 6 principles from the AICPA principles section of the Code of Professional Conduct Provisions.

2) Identify several rules from the rules section and show how they relate to the selected principle.

3) Evaluate the selected principle based on a deontological ethics perspective and a Christian world

1. A national newspaper reported that the state with the longest mean life span is Hawaii, where the population mean life span is 77 years. A random sample of 20 obituary notices in the Honolulu Advertizer gave the following information about life span (in years) of Honolulu residents.

(i) Use a calculator with sample mean and standard deviation keys to find x and s. (Round your answers to two decimal places.)

(ii) Assuming that life span in Honolulu is approximately normally distributed, does this information indicate that the population mean life span for Honolulu residents is less than 77 years? Use a 5% level of significance.

(a) What is the level of significance?
  

State the null and alternate hypotheses.

H₀: μ < 77 yr; H₁:  μ = 77 y

rH₀: μ = 77 yr; H₁:  μ > 77 yr    

H₀: μ = 77 yr; H₁:  μ ≠ 77 yr

H₀: μ = 77 yr; H₁:  μ < 77 yr

H₀: μ > 77 yr; H₁:  μ = 77 yr

(b) What sampling distribution will you use? Explain the rationale for your choice of sampling distribution.

The Student's t, since we assume that x has a normal distribution and σ is unknown.The Student's t, since we assume that x has a normal distribution and σ is known.     The standard normal, since we assume that x has a normal distribution and σ is known.The standard normal, since we assume that x has a normal distribution and σ is unknown.

What is the value of the sample test statistic? (Round your answer to three decimal places.)
  

(c) Find the P-value. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

2. The Student's t distribution table gives critical values for the Student's t distribution. Use an appropriate d.f. as the row header. For a right-tailed test, the column header is the value of α found in the one-tail area row. For a left-tailed test, the column header is the value of α found in the one-tail area row, but you must change the sign of the critical value t to −t. For a two-tailed test, the column header is the value of α from the two-tail area row. The critical values are the ±tvalues shown.

Let x be a random variable that represents the pH of arterial plasma (i.e., acidity of the blood). For healthy adults, the mean of the x distribution is μ = 7.4†. A new drug for arthritis has been developed. However, it is thought that this drug may change blood pH. A random sample of 36 patients with arthritis took the drug for 3 months. Blood tests showed that x = 8.0 with sample standard deviation s = 1.7. Use a 5% level of significance to test the claim that the drug has changed (either way) the mean pH level of the blood. Solve the problem using the critical region method of testing (i.e., traditional method). (Round your answers to three decimal places.)

State your conclusion ion the context of the application.

Fail to reject the null hypothesis, there is sufficient evidence that the drug has changed the mean pH level.

Fail to reject the null hypothesis, there is insufficient evidence that the drug has changed the mean pH level.     

Reject the null hypothesis, there is insufficient evidence that the drug has changed the mean pH level.

Reject the null hypothesis, there is sufficient evidence that the drug has changed the mean pH level.

Compare your conclusion with the conclusion obtained by using the P-value method. Are they the same?

We reject the null hypothesis using the traditional method, but fail to reject using the P-value method.

The conclusions obtained by using both methods are the same.    

We reject the null hypothesis using the P-value method, but fail to reject using the traditional method.

State your hypothesis from Assignment 1.

I want my hypothesis to be hand washing related. What kind of hypothesis can I use to relate to this topic?

Why is this study important? Describe the rationale for your study, including the identified knowledge gap.  What is it that the health care industry does not know that will become clearer as a result of this study?

I also need a helping hand with getting it started using the questions above. If you can just assist with that I can do the rest.

Thank you

Refer to the following situation: Stock Prices, Y, are assumed to be affected by the annual rate of dividend of stock, X. A simple linear regression analysis was performed on 20 observations and the results were:

Government officials claim that no more than 29% of the residents of a state are opposed to building a nuclear plant to generate electricity. Local conservation groups claim that the true percentage is much higher. To test the government’s claim, an independent testing group selects a random sample of 81 state residents and finds that 29 of the people are opposed to the nuclear plant.

(a) What is the variable? Is it an attribute or measurable?

(b) State the hypotheses

(c) Calculate the value of the test statistic and the p-value?

(d) Would you reject H0 or fail to reject H0 at 5% level of significance?

(e) What would you conclude about the government’s claim?

1. Describe a scenario where the Pearson correlation would be appropriate to use in calculating the strength of the relationship between two variables. Identify the variables and explain the rationale for your answer.

2. Describe a scenario where the Spearman correlation would be appropriate to use in calculating the strength of the relationship between two variables. Identify the variables and explain the rationale for your answer. What makes this scenario different from the scenario in the previous question?

A small publishing company decides to use one section of its plant to produce two textbooks called Microeconomics and Macroeconomics. The profit made on each copy is $12 for Microeconomics and $18 Macroeconomics. Each copy of Microeconomics requires 12 minutes for printing and 18 minutes for binding. The corresponding figures for Macroeconomics are 15 and 9 minutes respectively. There are 10 hours available for printing and 10.5 hours available for binding. How many of each should be produced for maximize profit?

1. Required information
