Time intervals measured with a stopwatch typically have an uncertainty of about 0.2 seconds due to human reaction time. How does this compare to the uncertainties of individual measurements above? Can human reaction time fully account for these uncertainties? If not, what other factors may contribute to the uncertainty of individual measurements (provide at least one)?

Also, What are the fundamental differences in the uncertainty of individual measurements vs uncertainty of mean of measurements

Consider the following equation:

^Salary i = 5284.33 + 68.15 Edu i - 286.95 Di + 85.62 Edu i Di

Acts of Apostles Chapters

1 When Pentecost day came round, they had all met together,

2 when suddenly there came from heaven a sound as of a violent wind which filled the entire house in which they were sitting;

3 and there appeared to them tongues as of fire; these separated and came to rest on the head of each of them.

4 They were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak different languages as the Spirit gave them power to express themselves.

5 Now there were devout men living in Jerusalem from every nation under heaven,

6 and at this sound they all assembled, and each one was bewildered to hear these men speaking his own language.

7 They were amazed and astonished. 'Surely,' they said, 'all these men speaking are Galileans?

8 How does it happen that each of us hears them in his own native language?

9 Parthians, Medes and Elamites; people from Mesopotamia, Judaea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,

10 Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya round Cyrene; residents of Rome-

11 Jews and proselytes alike -- Cretans and Arabs, we hear them preaching in our own language about the marvels of God.'

12 Everyone was amazed and perplexed; they asked one another what it all meant.

13 Some, however, laughed it off. 'They have been drinking too much new wine,' they said.

14 Then Peter stood up with the Eleven and addressed them in a loud voice: 'Men of Judaea, and all you who live in Jerusalem, make no mistake about this, but listen carefully to what I say.

15 These men are not drunk, as you imagine; why, it is only the third hour of the day.

16 On the contrary, this is what the prophet was saying:

17 In the last days -- the Lord declares -- I shall pour out my Spirit on all humanity. Your sons and daughters shall prophesy, your young people shall see visions, your old people dream dreams.

18 Even on the slaves, men and women, shall I pour out my Spirit.

19 I will show portents in the sky above and signs on the earth below.

20 The sun will be turned into darkness and the moon into blood before the day of the Lord comes, that great and terrible Day.

21 And all who call on the name of the Lord will be saved.

22 'Men of Israel, listen to what I am going to say: Jesus the Nazarene was a man commended to you by God by the miracles and portents and signs that God worked through him when he was among you, as you know.

23 This man, who was put into your power by the deliberate intention and foreknowledge of God, you took and had crucified and killed by men outside the Law.

24 But God raised him to life, freeing him from the pangs of Hades; for it was impossible for him to be held in its power since,

25 as David says of him: I kept the Lord before my sight always, for with him at my right hand nothing can shake me.

26 So my heart rejoiced my tongue delighted; my body, too, will rest secure,

27 for you will not abandon me to Hades or allow your holy one to see corruption.

28 You have taught me the way of life, you will fill me with joy in your presence.

29 'Brothers, no one can deny that the patriarch David himself is dead and buried: his tomb is still with us.

30 But since he was a prophet, and knew that God had sworn him an oath to make one of his descendants succeed him on the throne,

31 he spoke with foreknowledge about the resurrection of the Christ: he is the one who was not abandoned to Hades, and whose body did not see corruption.

32 God raised this man Jesus to life, and of that we are all witnesses.

33 Now raised to the heights by God's right hand, he has received from the Father the Holy Spirit, who was promised, and what you see and hear is the outpouring of that Spirit.

34 For David himself never went up to heaven, but yet he said: The Lord declared to my Lord, take your seat at my righthand,

35 till I have made your enemies your footstool.

36 'For this reason the whole House of Israel can be certain that the Lord and Christ whom God has made is this Jesuswhom you crucified.'

37 Hearing this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and the other apostles, 'What are we to do, brothers?'

38 'You must repent,' Peter answered, 'and every one of you must be baptised in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

39 The promise that was made is for you and your children, and for all those who are far away, for all those whom the Lordour God is calling to himself.'

40 He spoke to them for a long time using many other arguments, and he urged them, 'Save yourselves from this perverse generation.'

41 They accepted what he said and were baptised. That very day about three thousand were added to their number.

42 These remained faithful to the teaching of the apostles, to the brotherhood, to the breaking of bread and to the prayers.

43 And everyone was filled with awe; the apostles worked many signs and miracles.

44 And all who shared the faith owned everything in common;

45 they sold their goods and possessions and distributed the proceeds among themselves according to what each one needed.

46 Each day, with one heart, they regularly went to the Temple but met in their houses for the breaking of bread; they shared their food gladly and generously;

47 they praised God and were looked up to by everyone. Day by day the Lord added to their community those destined to be saved.

A recent article in MacLean’s wrote, “Just over 45 per cent said they would buy food containing marijuana, with 46 per cent saying they would purchase pot-laced baked goods like brownies and muffins if they were legal.” (http://www.macleans.ca/society/majority-of-canadians-support-marijuana-legalization-says-survey/)

(a) This statement was based on a Dalhousie University survey of 1087 people across the country. Test at the 0.05 level of significance whether one can conclude that more than 45% of Canadians would say they would buy food containing marijuana. Use the critical value approach (and a 2-sided alternative hypothesis since MacLean’s made the statement after seeing the sample data). Show your manual calculation of the z-statistic and explain how you would find the p-value.

(b) For testing the same hypotheses, calculate manually an appropriate 95% confidence interval for the proportion of Canadians who would buy food containing marijuana. Does this interval allow you to make the same conclusion as in part (a)? Explain briefly.

(c) Suppose you wanted to take a large enough sample size to enable you to conclude that more than 45% of Canadians would buy food containing marijuana. What sample size would be required?

(d) To test whether the proportion of UOttawa students who would buy food containing marijuana exceeded 45%, you found 8 out of a small sample of 10 randomly selected students who answered yes to the question. Perform the test, using the 0.05 level of significance and show how you would calculate the p-value for this test

Come up with a 5 elements of each category of the SWOT of 1-800-GOT-JUNK?

Eighteen thousand expired cans of sardines.84 Fifty garden gnomes. A mechanical bull. Trophies from a nudist colony. These objects are just some of the weird items that Vancouver-based 1-800-GOT-JUNK? customers have asked the uniformed people in the freshly scrubbed blue trucks to haul away. Company founder and CEO Brian Scudamore discovered a lucrative niche between “trash cans and those big green bins dropped off by” the giant waste haulers. But even in such an uncomplicated business as hauling people’s junk, Scudamore must be concerned with managing change and innovation.

1-800-GOT-JUNK? is an award-winning company with a corporate staff of about 300 individuals. “With a vision of creating the ‘FedEx’ of junk removal,” says Scudamore, “I dropped out of university with just one year left to become a full-time JUNKMAN! Yes, my father, a liver transplant surgeon, was not impressed, to say the least.” However, in 2011, the company had more than 200 franchises, and system-wide revenues were over $100 million.85 Not surprisingly, Scudamore’s father is a little more understanding these days about his son’s business. Since 1997, the company has grown exponentially. The company made the list of Entrepreneur magazine’s 100 fastest-growing franchises in 2005 and 2006. It was named one of the Best Employers in Canada by Canadian Business, and Scudamore won the International Franchise Association’s Entrepreneur of the Year award. Scudamore also started two newer franchises: Wow 1 Day Painting and You Move Me.

Hauling junk would be, to most people’s minds at least, a pretty simple business. However, the company Scudamore founded is a “curious hybrid.” It has been described as a blend of “old economy and new economy.” The company’s service—hauling away trash—has been done for hundreds, if not thousands, of years. But 1-800-GOT-JUNK? also relies heavily on up-to-date information technology and has the kind of organizational culture that most people associate with high-tech startups. The company uses its 1-800-GOT-JUNK? call centre to do the booking and dispatching for all its franchise partners. The franchise partners also use the company’s proprietary intranet and customer relationship management site—dubbed JunkNet—to access schedules, customer information, real-time reports, and so forth. According to Scudamore’s philosophy, this approach allowed franchise partners to “work on the business” instead of “work in the business.” On any given day, all a franchisee has to do is open up JunkNet to see the day’s schedule. If a new job comes in during a workday, the program automatically sends an alert to the franchisee. Needless to say, the company’s franchisees tend to be quite tech-savvy. In fact, some of them have installed GPS devices in their trucks to help find the most efficient routes on a job. Others use online navigation sites. With the price of gas continuing to increase, this type of capability is important.

1-800-GOT-JUNK? has a culture that would rival any high-tech startup. The head office is known as the Junktion. Grizzly, Scudamore’s dog, comes to the office every day and helps employees relieve stress by playing catch anytime, anywhere. Each morning at exactly 10:55, all employees at the Junktion meet for a seven-minute huddle, where they share good news, announcements, metrics, and problems they are encountering. Visitors to the Junktion have to join the group huddle, too. One of the most conspicuous features of the Junktion is the “Vision Wall,” which contains the varied outputs of Scudamore’s brainstorms. Other members of the executive team have visions for the company’s future as well. Periodically they will wander through the offices of Genome Sciences Centre, the tenant occupying the space above them, to visualize a future when GOT-JUNK? has expanded so sufficiently that it will take over that office space. Scudamore does not use a permanent desk, instead preferring to sit in different spaces to talk with people and get a sense of what is going on in the business.

Company franchisees are also encouraged to take initiative and be innovative. For example, the Toronto franchise, which has 12 trucks, sometimes gets a blue truck motorcade going down Yonge Street through the heart of the city as a way to be noticed and to publicize its services. Despite the company’s success to date, Scudamore is wondering whether he is prepared to face whatever changes may happen in the environment in the years to come.
