There is much debate about false rape accusations and the effects these accusations may have on the accused perpetrator. Describe your feelings on this issue, indicating how common you believe false accusations are, what rights the alleged victim and accuser should have (e.g., anonymity in the press), and how this issue should ideally be handled.

Choose a piece of popular fiction—novel, short story, graphic novel, or comic book—and research the material through the lens of popular culture and its effect on society.

Prepare a 500- to 750-word analysis that includes a critique of that work and a commentary on the influence of the work in popular culture. Address the following:

• Identify the literary production you chose to focus on. Provide a brief overview of what the piece is about, the author’s background, and how the piece fits or does not fit with other literature of that genre.

• What is the cultural significance of the work Reflect on whether the piece is considered economically successful or if it has fan followings.

• What cultural values are reinforced or challenged in the work?

Consider the following examples:

• How the Harry Potter novels are encouraging young adults to read

• Does the Twilight series reinforce or challenge traditional gender roles?

• The quest for truth in the novels of Dan Brown, author of The Da Vinci Code and Angels & Demons

Is there a relation between murder and arson? A random sample of 15 Midwest cities (over 10,000 population) gave the following information about annual number of murder and arson cases. (Reference: Federal Bureau of Investigation, U.S. Department of Justice.)

Use a 1% level of significance to test the claim that there is a monotone-increasing relationship between the ranks of murder and arson.

(a) Rank-order murder using 1 as the largest data value. Also rank-order arson using 1 as the largest data value. Then construct a table of ranks to be used for a Spearman rank correlation test.

(b) What is the level of significance?

State the null and alternate hypotheses.

H_o: ρ_s < 0;  H₁: ρ_s = 0H_o: ρ_s = 0; H₁: ρ_s ≠ 0     H_o: ρ_s = 0;  H₁: ρ_s > 0H_o: ρ_s = 0; H₁: ρ_s < 0

(c) Compute the sample test statistic. (Use 3 decimal places.)


(d) Find the P-value interval of the sample test statistic.
P-value <  ---Select--- 0.001 0.01 0.05 0.10

(e) Conclude the test.

At the α = 0.01 level, we reject the null hypothesis and conclude the data are not statistically significant.At the α = 0.01 level, we fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude the data are not statistically significant.     At the α = 0.01 level, we reject the null hypothesis and conclude the data are statistically significant.At the α = 0.01 level, we fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude the data are statistically significant.

(f) Interpret your conclusion in the context of the application. Fail to reject the null hypothesis, there is sufficient evidence that a monotonic increasing relationship exists between incidence of murder and arson.Fail to reject the null hypothesis, there is insufficient evidence that a monotonic increasing relationship exists between incidence of murder and arson.     Reject the null hypothesis, there is sufficient evidence that a monotonic increasing relationship exists between incidence of murder and arson.Reject the null hypothesis, there is insufficient evidence that a monotonic increasing relationship exists between incidence of murder and arson.

A primatologist believes that rhesus monkeys possess curiosity. She reasons that, if this is true, then they should prefer novel stimulation to repetitive stimulation. An experiment is conducted in which 12 rhesus monkeys are randomly selected from the university colony and taught to press two bars. Pressing bar 1 always produces the same sound, whereas bar 2 produces a novel sound each time it is pressed. After learning to press the bars, the monkeys are tested for 15 minutes, during which they have free access to both bars. The number of presses on each bar during the 15 minutes is recorded. The resulting data are as follows:

1.) What is the alternative hypothesis? In this case, assume a nondirectional hypothesis is appropriate because there is insufficient empirical basis to warrant a directional hypothesis.

A.) Rhesus monkeys have a preference for novel stimulation only.

B.) Rhesus monkeys have a preference for repetitive stimulation only.     

C.) In rhesus monkeys there is no difference in preference between novel and repetitive stimulation.

D.) Rhesus monkeys have a preference for either novel stimulation or repetitive stimulation.

2.) What is the null hypothesis?

A.)Rhesus monkeys have a preference for novel stimulation only.

B.) In rhesus monkeys there is no difference in preference between novel and repetitive stimulation.    

C.) Rhesus monkeys have a preference for either novel stimulation or repetitive stimulation.

D.) Rhesus monkeys have a preference for repetitive stimulation only.

3.) Using α = 0.05_2-tail, what is your conclusion?
p(obtained probability) = ______

A.) Reject H₀. Rhesus monkeys appear to prefer novel stimulation.

B.) A conclusion cannot be determined with the given data.     

C.) Reject H₀. Rhesus monkeys appear to prefer repetitive stimulation.

D.) Retain H₀. There is no difference in preference between novel and repetitive stimulation.

4.) What error may you be making by your conclusion in number 3?

A.) You may be making a Type II error, failing to reject H₀ if it is false.

B.) No error; a conclusion cannot be determined with the given data.

C.) You may be making a Type I error, rejecting H₀ if it is true.

D.) You may be making both a Type I error and a Type II error.

5.) To what population does your conclusion apply?

A.) The population is all rhesus monkeys in the United States.

B.) The population is the group of 12 rhesus monkeys that were randomly selected.

C.) The population is the university colony of rhesus monkeys at the time of the experiment.

D.) The population is all rhesus monkeys in the entire world.

Explain why it is important for an arson investigator to understand these concepts.

Gary and Ila Fedderson owned and operated Whiskey Flow, a restaurant and bowling alley located in Howard, South Dakota. After operating the business for some time, the Feddersons purchased a $1 million insurance policy from Columbia Insurance Group (Columbia) that covered damages to the business caused by fire. The policy included a “Concealment or Fraud Condition” that voided the insurance policy if “any insured” intentionally concealed or misrepresented a material fact or committed fraud or false swearing in connection with the insurance contract. One month after taking out the insurance, the Whiskey Flow was destroyed by fire. Gary and Ila submitted a $1 million claim to Columbia. In their proof of loss statement, Gary and Ila swore that an “unknown party started the fire.” After the investigation, Gary was convicted of the crimes of conspiracy to commit arson and insurance fraud. Ila was not involved in the arson and did not have knowledge of Gary’s involvement in the arson. Ila sued Columbia to recover 50 percent of the insurance proceeds as an “innocent insured.”

Can Ila collect half of the insurance proceeds?

Did Gary act ethically in this case?

Did Ila act unethically in trying to recover half of the insurance proceeds?

please answer the question in a long paragraph

1) Book Publishing

You are the owner of a publishing firm and you have a new author that you plan to publish. It is an action/espionage novel. You believe that the author has a good book, but it is her first book and you don’t really know what the sales numbers will look like. As such, you want to do a break even analysis to find out how many books you have to sell in order to get back your initial investment.

The book will be published in paperback sized 6”x9”. The initial set up cost for setting up the press for the book is $900 dollars. After the additional cost for setting up the press, each book will cost $2.19 each to make.

a) How much will it cost to print _ books?

o 100 books

o 200 books

o 500 books

o 1000 books

o 2000 books

b) What is the cost per book for each quantity?
