Spiders. These are creepy, crawly things that scuttle over you when you sleep. And sometimes, or so the urban legend goes, they crawl into your mouth; swallowed whole by you during sleep!?! If the urban legend is to be believed, the total amount of spiders swallowed per year, per person, is 8. That is a lot of spiders! (Maloney, 2017).

Scientists, however, assure us that this urban legend is completely untrue; that the myth flies in the face of both spider and human biology. Shear argued, “spiders regard us much like they’d regard a big rock. . . we’re so large that we’re really just part of the landscape” (cited in Sneed, 2014, para 4). If anything, spiders find sleeping humans terrifying. Why? A slumbering person breaths, has a beating heart, and perhaps snores – all of which creates vibrations that warn spiders of danger (Sneed, 2014). In short, spiders typically stay away from sleeping humans.

Still, you are not convinced. And it is bedtime soon. You decide to call 20 of your friends and ask them to report how many spiders they have swallowed in a year.

  1. (5 pt) Conduct a t-test to see to see if there is a difference in the number of spiders swallowed per year by your friends and the rate of spiders swallowed – allegedly that is – per year by the general population. Use a two-tailed design with α= 0.05. Each step of the test is worth 1 point.

  1. (2 pt) Write a sentence regarding the results of your hypothesis test as it might be reported in a scientific journal. Remember, at the end of the sentence report the t-value, df, and p-value in parentheses (as shown in class).

  1. (2 pt) Explain how your hypothesis test would have been different if you were given this information: σ = 3. Would you have had the same conclusion? Show your calculations.

  1. (2 pt) Explain how your t-test would have been different if you had been asked to test whether the number of spiders swallowed was less thanthe average of μ = 8 (i.e. one-tail, directional hypothesis, α= 0.05). Would you have had the same conclusion?

  1. (4 pt) Comment on the importance of sample size (N) for making statistical conclusions in the current study. As part of your response, discuss the following: what role did sample size play in your calculations for 1) variance, 2) standard deviation, 3) final test statistic, and 4) cut-off. For each, discuss how increasing the sample size would affect these calculations? Refer to the formulas throughout your explanations.

Most organisations have social objectives implied in their legal purposes.

When social consequences are involved, managers are quite capable of making the right decisions.

Unless an organisation has social goals, it should avoid them.

11. The main difference between utilitarianism and rights theories is:

utilitarianism establishes a minimum level of morally acceptable behavior, whereas rights theories emphasize the greatest good for the greatest number.

utilitarianism focuses on attaining a fair and equitable distribution of economic goods and services, whereas rights theories emphasize the greatest good for the greatest number.

utilitarianism holds that the moral worth of actions or practices is determined by their consequences, whereas rights theories recognize that human beings have fundamental rights and privileges.

utilitarianism holds that the moral worth of actions or practices is determined by their consequences, whereas rights theories focus on attaining a fair and equitable distribution of economic goods and services.

1.3.16 Rhesus monkeys A recent article (Hauser, Glynn, and Wood, 2007) described a study that investigated whether rhesus monkeys have some ability to understand gestures made by humans. In one part of the study, the experimenter approached individual rhesus monkeys and placed two boxes an equal distance from the monkey. The experimenter then placed food in one of the boxes, making sure that the monkey could tell that one of the boxes received food without revealing which one. Finally, the researcher made eye contact with the monkey and then gestured toward the box with the food by jerking his head toward that box. This process was repeated for a total of 40 rhesus monkeys. It turned out that 30 of the monkeys approached the box that the human had gestured toward, and 10 approached the other box. The purpose is to investigate whether rhesus monkeys can interpret the head jerk better than random chance.

Which of the following null hypothesis and alternative hypothesis are appropriate in the context of the study?

a. Null: The long-run proportion of times that rhesus monkeys choose the correct box is 50%. ​Alt. The long-run proportion of times that rhesus monkeys choose the correct box is 50%.

b. Null: The long-run proportion of times that rhesus monkeys choose the correct box is 50%. ​Alt. The long-run proportion of times that rhesus monkeys choose the correct box is less than 50%.

c. Null: The long-run proportion of times that rhesus monkeys choose the correct box is 50%. ​Alt. The long-run proportion of times that rhesus monkeys choose the correct box is greater than 50%.

d. Null: The long-run proportion of times that rhesus monkeys choose the incorrect box is 50%. ​Alt. The long-run proportion of times that rhesus monkeys choose the incorrect box is greater than 50%.

Determine the standardized statistic from the data. (Hint: You will need to get the standard deviation of the simulated statistics from the null distribution in an applet.) (Round answer to 2 decimal places, e.g. 52.75)

Which of the following is the best interpretation of the standardized statistic in the context of this study?

a. The number of standard deviations the observed proportion is below 0.50 in the null distribution.

b. The number of standard deviations the observed proportion is above 0.75 in the null distribution.

c. The number of standard deviations the observed proportion is above 0.50 in the null distribution.

d. The number of standard deviations the observed proportion is below 0.75 in the null distribution.

Select the best conclusion that you would draw about the research question of whether rhesus monkeys have some ability to understand gestures made by humans.

a. We have no evidence that the long-run proportion of times that rhesus monkeys choose the correct box is greater than 50%.

b. We have strong evidence that the long-run proportion of times that rhesus monkeys choose the incorrect box is greater than 50%.

c. We have weak evidence that the long-run proportion of times that rhesus monkeys choose the correct box is greater than 50%.

d. We have strong evidence that the long-run proportion of times that rhesus monkeys choose the correct box is greater than 50%.

What is the legal basis for the EEOC to hold that JBS-SWIFT had violated the employees’ civil rights?

Human Resources-See case below and give an expert opinion of questions that follow. In your own words please. 100 words or more.

As immigrants continue to come to the United States from many different cultures and religions, differences will cause some challenges and problems. One area where this has occurred is with Islamic culture and religion in the meat processing industry.

A plant (a fresh chicken facility) belonging to Tyson Foods, Inc., in Shelbyville, Tennessee, is one example. The company hired about 250 people from Somalia. A long-running civil war in their country has forced many Somalis to settle in the United States as refugees, and many Somalis are Muslim.

The union at the plant requested replacing the paid holiday Labor Day with Eid ul-Fitr, a religious holiday marking the end of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. The request was brought up as part of negotiations for a new labor contract, and was part of the overall contract proposal approved by union members. The plant is often open on Labor Day anyway to meet consumer demand during the barbeque season. Along with holiday pay, the workers also received time and a half for hours worked on Labor Day.

The EEOC says employers may not treat people more or less favorably because of their religion. However, religious accommodation may be warranted unless it would impose an undue hardship on the employer. Flexible scheduling, voluntary time swaps, transfers, and reassignments are possible means of accommodation, along with other policies and practices.

Tyson’s consideration of exchanging Labor Day for Eid ul-Fitr brought strong reactions from non-Muslim workers and the general public. The union voted again on the issue and overwhelmingly voted to reinstate Labor Day as a paid holiday. The company’s solution was to have eight paid holidays, including a “personal holiday” that could be either the employee’s birthday, Eid ul-Fitr, or another day approved by the employee’s supervisor. That compromise was acceptable to the workers.

Another company that faced similar issues is JBS-SWIFT, a meat packer with plants in Grand Island, Nebraska, and Greeley, Colorado. That company also hired many Somali Muslims. The issue there was prayer time. In Greeley, the Muslim workers demanded time to pray at sundown—a requirement during Ramadan. The plant works three shifts. More than 300 workers walked out when they were told they could not have the time to pray. More than 100 were fired later, not for walking out but for not returning to work. The walkout touched off protests from workers of different faiths who thought the request for religious accommodation was too much.

The EEOC ruled that JBS-SWIFT had violated the civil rights of the employees it had fired. The company was found to have denied religious accommodation and retaliated against workers who complained. JBS-SWIFT has since set up special prayer rooms at its plants and allows Muslim workers to meet their religious obligations, which include prayers five times daily.

Questions:

  1. What is the legal basis for the EEOC to hold that JBS-SWIFT had violated the employees’ civil rights?


  1. Contrast the solutions to the Tyson situation and the JBS-SWIFT situation. Which is likely to have the greatest positive impact on the company and why?

Q5- Week 10 You are the audit partner at Parkville & Associates, a mid-tier audit firm. You are responsible for the audits of the following four independent entities for the year ended 30 June 2018: (a) Human Help Ltd is a non-profit entity. You have discovered that it has not kept substantiating vouchers or receipts for more than 55 per cent of its expenses, excluding salaries and allowances (2.5 marks) (b) JJ King Ltd is a building contractor with a varying workload. In order to compensate for the irregularity of its contracted building projects, JJ King also purchases large vacant blocks of land that it later subdivides for the construction of houses and units. JJ King then sells these on its own account. Your analysis strongly suggests that the apportionment of costs to houses and units sold has been kept low to boost profits. In your opinion, this has resulted in the overvaluation of the unsold properties. The directors of the company do not agree and hold to their view that the stock of properties is correctly valued (2.5 marks) (c) You have completed the audit of Grand Resort Ltd (Grand Resort) for the year ended 30 June 2015. The audit partner suggested that the value of properties on the Gold Coast were overstated by $16 million, a figure which was twice the level of materiality set for the audit. As a result of discussions with the audit committee, the CEO of Grand Resort agreed to revise the valuations downward by $10 million. All other issues were resolved to the satisfaction of the audit partner, resulting in an overall misstatement of the financial report of $6 million. The audit partner is now considering the effect of the misstatement on the auditor’s report. (2.5 marks) (d) Grand Event Ltd arranges for popular overseas entertainment artists to perform in Australia. The band Eclipse was booked by Grand Event to play in major cities across the country. Grand Event’s written contract required the company to pay the band in US dollars but, in order to reduce costs, it did not hedge the amounts. Subsequent to year end, the Australian dollar fell against the US dollar and a substantial loss relating to the band’s tour was predicted. The management of Grand Event tried unsuccessfully to renegotiate the band’s contract and has been unable to obtain finance to cover the expected shortfall. Grand Event has now cancelled the tour and expects a substantial claim from Eclipse. It is clear to you, as the auditor, that Grand Event does not have the income, cash or other assets to sustain such a loss. (2.5 marks) Required: Assuming no amendments have been made, identify and explain the type of auditor’s opinion required for each issue outlined above. (10 marks, maximum 300 words) Issues Audit Opinion (1 mark) Explanation (1.5 marks) (a)(/(b)/ Write 1 line about issue Unqualified or Qualified or Adverse or Disclaimer Audit Opinion or Unqualified Audit opinion with emphasis of matter or Unqualified Audit Opinion with other matter paragraph Here you will mention about why you have chosen this audit opinion and reason details

V- World War II:

The pre-World War II period was a period of great economic suffering all over the world called the Great Depression. Many people were unemployed and struggling to survive. These unstable governments and unrest all over the world created the reasons for World War II. As this crisis contributed to the deterioration of the economy of democratic capitalist countries, which will strengthen the dictatorial regimes and their approach to expansion policy to obtain commercial markets to export surplus production and import needs.
A. Pearl Harbor Dec 7,1941
In the era of Franklin Roosevelt, America had imposed an oil embargo on Japan and prevented the export of iron to it in sympathy with the British and Russian allies. Japan was only attacking the US Navy at the Pearl Harbor in the Pacific in December 1941. The Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor forced the United States to enter World War II alongside the Allies. Franklin Roosevelt declared war on Japan on December 8, 1941. Although the attack has caused great damage to US ships and aircraft, this has not affected fuel and maintenance stocks, submarines, and intelligence facilities at Pearl Harbor.
B. Industrail production
The global capitalist economy entered the post-war period, moving into a new historical context, in which a new era was formed, an era characterized by a high level of growth and stability for a quarter of a century under the central control of the United States,
It was a period of recovery in the capital accumulation movement, high economic growth (averaging about 4.5 percent annually), inflation rates falling, and only 3 percent. And the unemployment rate fell to less than 3 percent. Economic cycles were controlled, becoming shorter and less intense.
America's response to World War II was the most extraordinary mobilization of an idle economy in the history of the world. During the war 17 million new civilian jobs were created, industrial productivity increased by 96 percent, and corporate profits after taxes doubled. The government expenditures helped bring about the business recovery that; had eluded the New Deal. War needs directly consumed over one-third of the output of industry, but the expanded productivity ensured a remarkable supply of consumer goods to the people as well. America was the only that saw an expansion of consumer goods despite wartime rationing. BY 1944, as a result of wage increases and overtime pay, real weekly wages before taxes in manufacturing were 50 percent higher than in 1939. The war also created entire new technologies, industries, and associated human skills.
1-Unemployment Return to Pre-Depression Level​
America’s involvement in World War II had a significant impact on the economy and workforce of the United States. The unemployment rate was hovering around 25%. The involvement in the war soon changed that rate. American factories were retooled to produce goods to support the war effort and almost overnight the unemployment rate dropped to around 10%. Women went to work to fill jobs that were traditionally held by men.

K. B. is a 32-year old woman who is being admitted to the medical floor for complaints of fatigue and dehydration. While taking your nursing history you discover that she has diabetes and has been insulin-dependent since the age of 8. She has been in chronic renal failure (CRF) and undergoing hemodialysis for the past 3 years. Your initial assessment of K. B. reveals a pale, thin, lethargic woman in no acute distress. Her admitting chemistries are Na 145 mEq/L, K 5.5 mEq/L, Cl 93 mEq/L, HCO3 27 mEq/L, BUN 40 mg/dL, creatinine 3.0 mg/dL, glucose 238 mg/dL. Her skin is warm and dry to touch with poor skin turgor, and her mucous membranes are dry. Her VS are 140/88, 116, 18, 99.9oF. She tells you she has been nauseated for 2 days so she has not been eating or drinking. She denies vomiting.

  1. What aspects of your assessment support her admitting diagnosis of dehydration?
  2. Identify 2 possibilities for K. B.’s low-grade fever?

The rest of K. B.’s physical assessment is within normal limits. She tells you she has an AV fistula in her left arm.

  1. What is a fistula? Why does K. B. have one?
  2. In assessment of an AV fistula, what physical findings would you expect during auscultation and palpation? Why?

Over the next 24 hours, K. B.’s nausea subsides, and she is able to eat normally. Her physician believes she experienced a viral illness because there was no other etiology found for her nausea. While you are in helping her with her AM care she confides in you that she never really understood what “diet I’m supposed to be on anyway.”

  1. What information would you seek from K. B. now?
  2. Because K. B. is on chronic hemodialysis, what are her special nutritional needs?

K. B.’s complete blood count yields the following results: WBC 7.6 mm3, RBC 3.4 mm3, Hgb 8.1 g/dL. Hct 24.3%, and platelets 333 mm3.

  1. Are these values normal? If not, what are the abnormalities?
  2. K. B.’s physician notes that she is anemic and this is most likely the cause of her increasing fatigue. Why is K. B. anemic?

The following day K. B. is discharged feeling much better and with a good understanding of her dietary restrictions. Her iron stores have been evaluated and found to be adequate. Her physician has instructed her to continue her same medications before her admission except for the addition of recombinant human erythropoietin 50 units/kg 3 times a week with dialysis.

  1. What information would you tell K. B. about her new medication?
