You are a proposal manager for a government contractor working on a huge new program. You have an interview with an former employee of your main competitor who wants you to hire him. He happens to mention that when he left his former employer, he still had the entire text of their proposal for the same program on his laptop. If you have this information, it will give you a huge advantage in the competition. What do you do? And why?

The amount of time part time worker at a pet store is normally distributed with a mean of 25 hours and a standard deviation of 2.5 hours. In a random sample of 25 employees, what is the probability that a worker will work for between 24 and 26 hours?

A student goes to the university library. The probability that the student checks out the science book for the science class is 0.40; the probability that the student checks out the math book is 0.30; and the probability that the student checks out both the science and math book is 0.20. What is the probability that the student checks out the science and the math book?

Dutch elm disease of American elm trees is caused by a fungus. It is known that 95% of elm trees in a city that have been treated with a fungicide recover from the disease. What is the probability that in a random sample of 4 elm trees in this city, at least 3 trees recover when treated with the fungicide?

A canning company claims that the amount of sugar in a cup of cherries is 13.2 grams. The population is normally distributed with a population standard deviation known to be 0.5 grams. The researcher took a sample of 25 cups of cherries and found a mean of 12.95 grams of sugar. Test at the 5% significance level that the amount of sugar in a cup of cherries is different than what the company claims. What is the p value for this test and what is your conclusion?

Lead project manager, Randi, is meeting with her France-based client, Wellsbrook Visiting Nurses Network, to discuss changes within a project's agreement. Randi's highly-skilled team of male and female multilingual computer programmers and website developers are producing a costly Saas platform for the visiting nurses agency (i.e., nurses who visit international patients at their homes). The project generates necessary income for Randi to pay her employees during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Wellsbrook recently informed Randi that the software must be developed specifically by French-speaking male developers and programmers. However, Randi - who is based in the US - knows Wellsbrook's request is unethical. Wellsbrook's request is not considered illegal or unethical in France, since all of the company's IT staff are male. Randi's project management plan, which described a team of French-speaking developers and programmers satisfying Wellsbrook's needs, was approved by the client and the project is already underway. Wellsbrook, however, now requires that the gender of each project management team members must be added into the PMP's work-breakdown structure and project agreement. If not, the company will terminate the contract, withhold payments and consider services from competing project management firms in the US.

Should Randi comply with Wellsbrook's change request? Explain why or why not.

Trust Us Communications Pty Ltd, is a national communications company which has recently placed an advertisement in the newspaper of a number of large cities in Australia. This is the advertisement:

(Unlimited Broadband Internet Access

For $99.99 a month get unlimited broadband access anywhere in Australia.

Call 1800 999 999 to take up this offer.
Hurry. Limited time only.)

Jenny lives in a remote part of New South Wales and runs an internet dating/introduction business. She is excited by the advertisement and decides to take up the offer.

Jenny later discovers that the advertisement did not explain all of the terms and conditions of the offer very clearly. It seems that the offer is not for ‘unlimited broadband access’. Once a user has reached a usage limit of 150 GB in a calendar month, they are prevented from gaining further internet access until the following calendar month. It also appears that access is not available ‘anywhere in Australia’ and is primarily restricted to areas within 200km of a capital city. Jenny needs permanent access to the internet to conduct her business and will be severely affected by these conditions.

Jenny is very disappointed, she feels that she has been deceived by the advertisement. Advise Jenny of the chances of her success in mounting a claim under the ACL against Trust Us Communications Pty Ltd.

In 60 000 Swiss francs (SFr)            $50 000

Accounts payable:
In US dollars                                    $86 000

In 10 000 000 Yen                           $ 97 000

The spot rates on December 31, 2008, were:
1 SFr = $0.85

1 Yen = $0.0095


The average exchange rates during the collection and payment period in 2009 are:
1 SFr = $0.9

1 Yen = $0.0098
  
Required:

1) Prepare the adjusting entries on December 31, 2008.
2) Record the collection of the accounts receivable and the payment of the accounts payable in 2009.

1-If an investigator is systematically varying the delay between the instrumental response and the subsequent delivery of the reinforcer, she is investigating

       
a-temporal contiguity in instrumental conditioning.

       
b-response reinforcer contingency.

       
c-negative contrast.

       
d-delayed conditioning procedures.

2-According to Thorndike what is the function of a reinforcer?

       
a-To strengthen the association between a stimulus and a response.

       
b-To strengthen the association between a reinforcer and a response.

       
c-To strengthen the association between a stimulus and a reinforcer.

       
d-To reduce the drives that force animals to action.

3-Which of the following correctly describes the phenomenon of 'blocking'?

       
a-Prior conditioning with CS1 increases responding to the added stimulus CS2.

       
b-Prior conditioning with CS1 prevents conditioning to the added stimulus CS2.

       
c-Prior conditioning with CS1 is blocked by the new added stimulus CS2.

       
d-Prior conditioning with CS1 is enhanced by the new added stimulus.

4-In the Lieberman et al. (1979) study just after the instrumental response, an intense noise (marker) was presented. Under these circumstances, the instrumental learning became resistant to the delay of reinforcement because

       
a-the marker acts as a conditioned stimulus.

       
b-the marker increases the drive level of the organism.

       
c-the marker increases the activity of the organism.

       
d-the marker helps to distinguish the instrumental response from other responses.

5-The blocking effect indicates that for the establishment of an association between a CS and a US,

       
a-contiguity between a CS and a US is enough.

       
b-US intensity is very important.

       
c-contiguity between a CS and a US is not enough.

       
d-CS type is very important.

6-In which of the contingencies below does the instrumental response procedure an appetitive stimulus?

       
a-Negative reinforcement.

       
b-Punishment.

       
c-Positive reinforcement.

       
d-Omission training.

7-Which of the following findings strongly supports the compensatory response model?

       
a-The finding that the nature of the CR is identical to the UR.

       
b-The finding that in many classical conditioning situations involving drugs as the US, the form of the CR is opposite the forms of the UR.

       
c-The finding that in higher order conditioning sometimes S-R rather than S-S types of associations are observed.

       
d-The finding that in sensory preconditioning always S-S type associations are observed

8-Under which of the following conditions will the CS be associated with the US most rapidly?

       
a-If the CS is familiar, relatively weak, and related to the US

       
b-If the CS is novel, relatively intense, and related to the US.

       
c-If the CS is novel, relatively weak, and not related to the US.

       
d-If the CS is novel, relatively intense, and not related to the US.
