Globo opened its first store in 1992 and it is Canada's largest family shoe store with the widest selection of fashion-right footwear. The company has recently launched an online store. Sales via the internet have been sluggish compared to their brick and mortar stores, and management suspects that its regular customers have concerns regarding the security of online transactions. To determine if this is the case, they plan to survey a random sample of their regular customers. Under consideration are several plans for selecting the sample. Name the sampling strategy for each of the following.

a.Regular customers belong to a rewards program and have a customer rewards ID number. Randomly select 100 numbers.

b. Globo has stores in five different cities in Ontario, Canada. Randomly select one of the stores and survey all regular customers that belong to its rewards program.

c. Globo has an alphabetized list of regular customers who belong to their rewards program. After randomly selecting a customer on the list, every 25th customer from that point on is chosen to be in the sample.

d. Customers are grounded into four age categories ( under 21, 21 to 35, 36 to 50, and older than 50). Randomly select 10 regular customers in each age category.

As part of an educational experiment a sample of sixteen Year 3 children was randomly divided into two groups, each of size eight.
The first group of eight children was taught arithmetic by the use of traditional procedures, whilst the second group of eight was taught arithmetic by newer modern methods.
At the end of the year all 16 children sat for an arithmetic achievement test, and also an arithmetic understanding test.
The marks(out of 100) obtained by the children are shown in the following tables.

Group 1 (Traditional) Group 2 (Modern)
Child Achievement Marks Understanding Marks Child Achievement Marks Understanding Marks
A 71 67 I 67 51
B 53 60 J 68 66
C 62 69 K 60 62
D 62 60 L 54 64
E 66 63 M 68 68
F 71 56 N 52 64
G 66 65 O 52 74
H 61 54 P 59 60

In answering the following questions you may assume that both achievement marks and understanding marks are normally distributed.

  1. To test whether there is a significant difference between the mean Achievement mark and the mean Understanding mark of children taught by the Modern method we would carry out ( A. A paired t test B. A two sample t test)

  2. To test whether there is a significant difference between the mean Achievement marks of children taught by the Traditional method and of children taught by the Modern method.  (A. A paired t test B. A two sample t test)

Mini case study – Scottish Parliament: the £431m question

Scotland’s new parliament building cost more than 10 times the original estimate and opened three years behind schedule.                

Official cost estimates changed 10 times and ballooned from the initial £40 million estimate to a final £431 million.

The procurement model chosen for Holyrood in early 1998 has emerged as the root of the problem. A fast-track contracting method known as construction management was used to build the parliament. It works by splitting a large building job into numerous smaller packages that are designed, tendered and let independently of one another.

Its main advantage is to speed up construction, because the overall design does not have to be complete before basic building work can begin.

It does not allow a client to know the total cost of a project until well after work has begun. It is considered risky for the client, which is responsible for running each individual package – in this case more than 60.

The project cost escalated from about £40 million in 1997 to £109 million in 1999, £241 million in 2001 and £294 million in 2002, and finally £431 million in February 2004. There were 18,000 design change orders over the five years of construction, combining

to form a three-year delay. Requests for design freezes on three occasions were ignored. The reality is that construction management was the only contract option for a client

wanting to make an early start on a project that was still at the design concept stage.
It is also clear that this was a classic case of procurement expertise being bypassed. The procurement department at the Scottish Office was not involved in the project. It was

not consulted over the procurement model.
There is nothing wrong with construction management as a procurement route. It is

best suited to high-quality, potentially high-cost projects, where the client is fully engaged, has a clear goal and works closely with the supply side team.

Some estimates put the money lost to delays and backtracking over design changes at as much as £100 million. If one trade contractor has a problem, it tends to ripple through all the others and cause delay and changes. The contracts are with the client, so the client picks up the cost of that.

However, between the extremes of fixed speedy construction management, a host of options exist under the heading of ‘conventional’ procurement. Their structures affect the risk and control over the final design that falls to the client.

The ‘design and build’ route would have seen the project management team drawing up a detailed design brief, which the main contractor then builds. It leaves the contractor footing the bill for cost overruns, but freezes the design as well.

A middle-of-the-road option, prime contracting, keeps design more open, but cuts the risk of costs going up if things go wrong. This is because a contractor joins the client’s project management team, and brings its entire supply chain of proven builders and suppliers along.

Then there is management contracting, where the client retains the design brief fully and splits up the project into small packages to be individually let, as in construction management. However, a professional intermediary runs all of the contractors on a daily basis, although they are still contracted to the client, which pays for design alterations.

Management contracting may, it seems, have given a more stable framework to the project by introducing an industry expert to run the many contractors.

Construction management was not the most suitable procurement vehicle. Sir Michael Latham, whose influential 1994 report, ‘Constructing the Team’, called on the construction industry to move towards partnering in the supply chain, says that full partnering should have been used to share the risk between client and contractor.
