A hospital administrator wished to study the relation between patient satisfaction and patient’s age (years), severity of illness (an index), and anxiety level (an index). The administrator randomly selected 46 patients and collected the data, where larger values are associated with more satisfaction, increased severity of illness, and more anxiety.
(a) Plot satisfaction against severity of illness for young patients (less than 40 years old). Describe the relationship briefly: direct or inverse; linear or curved; strong, moderate, or weak.
(b) Plot satisfaction against the anxiety level for both young and old patients. Do you think anxiety predicts patients satisfaction? Explain!

Traumatic brain injury such as concussion results when the head undergoes a very large acceleration. Generally, an acceleration less than 800 m/s2 lasting for any length of time will not cause injury, whereas an acceleration greater than 1000 m/s2 lasting for at least 1 ms will cause injury. Suppose a small child rolls off a bed that is 0.39 m above the floor. If the floor is hardwood, the child's head is brought to rest in approximately 1.8 mm. If the floor is carpeted, this stopping distance is increased to about 1.1 cm. Calculate the magnitude and duration of the deceleration in both cases, to determine the risk of injury. Assume the child remains horizontal during the fall to the floor. Note that a more complicated fall could result in a head velocity greater or less than the speed you calculate.

You are the senior human resource professional in a company and part of the senior strategic management team. The company is a service company that operates five teleprofit centers of 300 representatives each in the following Florida cities: Jacksonville, Orlando, Gainesville, Tampa, and Miami. The CEO has asked the senior strategic team to develop a HR plan that will allow the company to grow by two more teleprofit centers, which will be located in Jacksonville, Florida. Considering turnover, length of training, hiring success and learning curve for new employeesdevelop a reasonable “hire ahead” plan, which keeps newly trained employees ready to take the place of employees who leave or are promoted to other positions. The “hire ahead” plan must allow no more than 3% of the employee base in each of the new teleprofit centers to consist of newly trained employees. The following factors should be considered while developing the plan: • There is a human resource budget of $3.5M. • From the HR Budget, $200K will be dedicated for recruiting and selection. • Recruiting costs will increase by 30%, but the HR budget will not increase. • Recruiting will be conducted through Monster, CareerBuilder, Sologig, and in various print publications in the listed cities. • There will be 4500 applications received per month from the recruiting efforts. • Average turnover of the teleprofit representatives in the company is 7% per month. • Average turnover of the teleprofit representatives in Jacksonville is 5% per month. • New representatives receive two weeks of training in the classroom and two weeks of “side-by-side” training before they are on their own. • All trainer positions are exempt. • It takes nine months for a representative to be considered “fully trained”. SELECTION PROCESS Choose as many, or as few, of the following steps to create the selection process that applies best to your plan. All applicants who pass these steps will be hired. o Pre-screening- performed by a human resource assistant (nonexempt position) - cost of $20 per applicant; 95% of applicants prescreened are successful and are passed on to a recruiter. o Interviewing- completed by a recruiter (exempt position) - cost of $70 per applicant; 50% of applicants who are interviewed are successful and are then tested. o Employee testing- administered by a human resource assistant- cost of $30 per applicant; 50% of those tested are successful and will have a drug screening check done. o Drug screening- coordinated by a human resource assistant- cost of $35 per applicant; 95% will have a successful drug screening and then have a background check completed. o Background check- coordinated by a human resource assistant using a third party contracted provider- cost of $25 per applicant; 60% will have a successful background check and will be submitted to a credit check. o Credit check- conducted by a human resource assistant-cost of $35 per applicant; 60% will fail the credit check. ISSUES TO ADDRESS The following list represents a minimum guideline of issues that should be addressed: How does this current hiring process affect the successful filling of current position vacancies? What process changes can be made to help your budget concerns? How many new employees have to be hired each month to meet the objectives of the “hire ahead” plan? What is happening to the vacancy rate? What is the vacancy rate? What can be done to improve your vacancy rate? What can be done to understand the turnover rate? What can be done to improve the turnover rate? How does this scenario affect the bottom line of the company?
I am having trouble answering these 2 questions. What is the vacancy rate? What is happening to the vacancy rate? can u please write 2 detail paragraphs for each question. (Thanks)

As you know, the news is often filled with stories of product or service failures. At first glance, it may be difficult for a marketer to pinpoint the cause of the product's failure. As such, prior to a product launch, it is important for marketers to initiate a situational analysis and a SWOT analysis. Based on your understanding of both of these analytical endeavors, which steps are essential to avoiding a product or service failure in the marketplace? Justify your selections with specific reasons, facts, and examples. In replies to peers, agree or disagree with their assessments and explain why.

Question 1
The Dalton Co. is considering hiring the daughter of one of the vice presidents for the position of administrative manager. The daughter, Joyce McGregor, is as well-qualified for the position as any other person who has been interviewed. The position involves responsibility for planning and controlling areas where services and technology are undergoing great change. The company wants a manager who can“grow with the job,” for the position is expected to grow rapidly in scope and status. Although the company has employed relatives of executives for other managerial posts in the company, there is no consensus that employing a relative for the administrative management job will work equally well. The four executives who have the responsibility for making the final decision have evaluated the situation as follows:
1. Alex McGregor, Joyce’s father, feels that since his daughter is well-qualified for the position, she should be hired.
2. Joan Flores, vice president of human resources, also feels that Joyce should be hired. But Flores is aware that the position is subject to much stress and change. Therefore, she feels that special measures must be taken to see that Joyce’s perform-ance is evaluated objectively and impartially. Flores firmly believes that if Joyce should fail to measure up to the job, she should be replaced immediately.
3. Donna Renz, vice president of finance, feels that nepotism in a situation such as this is too much of a gamble. She sees that McGregor's daughter may not measure up, and as a result, the company will be faced with a messy and extremely unpleasant decision. (Why does she feel that the daughter may not measure up, in your opinion? On what basis do you think she is making this assessment?)4. You, as president of Dalton Co., are trying to reconcile the different points of view and reach a decision.
You hold a great deal of admiration and respect for the ability of Alex McGregor, but you know that this is no guarantee that his daughter will perform equally well. Still, as you realize, there is a family tie here. And if you vote against Joyce, what will be the effect upon the father? You appreciate Flores’ point of view and agree wholeheartedly that if Joyce is employed, her performance must be evaluated objectively, and her rating must not be influenced by the position of her father. But, you ask yourself, how can a relative’s performance be evaluated objectively? Who will be responsible for conducting the performance appraisal for Joyce? Should she be required to complete a goals assessment similar to others? Renz has made a good point, too, for you're call that 10 years ago the former president's son-in-law was hired and turned out to be a misfit. It was a sticky situation, and the company had no alternative but to let the son-in-law “gracefully resign.” After that, things were never the same with the former president up to the day he retired. After listening to Alex McGregor, Flores, and Renz evaluate Joyce’s capabilities and express their viewpoints on nepotism, you realize the next step is up to you.
Answer Questions:
Cast your vote and defend your stand by answering each of the following questions.
1. What is your vote?
2. How would you justify your position to each of the three vice presidents if you were asked to do so?
3. How would you proceed to evaluate objectively the performance of an executive's relative such as Joyce McGregor?
Question 2
Ms. Saikley, AM at International BusinessServices, is wondering whether to vote to have a holiday office party this December. She has just spoken with the sales manager, who told her about an incident that happened at another company last holiday season. It seems that the other organization decided to have an “employees only” office party on Friday night from 5 to 8 p.m. at a local downtown restaurant. Two weeks later, the wife of one of the workers burst into the office area and began shouting accusations at an office worker who she thought was having an affair with her husband. It was embarrassing to everyone in the organization and most agreed it was unnecessary. The tantrum became loud and abusive on both parties parts—the wife making accusations and the office worker denying them. The situation became pretty tense at this point.
Answer Questions:
1. If you were the AM of that organization, how would you have reacted to the situation just described? The office worker would have reported to you, and you were the first manager on the scene.
2. Should a policy be written covering office parties? If so, what would be your input on this policy? Should a policy be written concerning visitors who enter the work-place (even family members) and create a disturbance?
