Kowloon Bank (KB) was established by a wealthy businessman in Hong Kong in 1962, with 26 branches across the city today. As a local bank, the management always wants to maintain the status quo. Just like many other local companies, KB has a masculine culture in which productivity is preferred to employees’ quality of life. In other words, assertiveness, achievements and power are valued within KB.

Catherine Chung is the human resources manager, and has been with KB for more than 5 years. Catherine is open-minded and has an emphasis on the importance of work-life balance, and she believes that employee satisfaction is a prerequisite for the attainment of organizational goals. In this regard, she plans to send an email to all staff members to inform them of a revised policy on maternity leave after she successfully persuaded her superior to make the change.

Before the review, only female employees were entitled to maternity leave. In the revised policy, it extends to all male employees with KB, which is a significant step towards a caring workplace. In the email, Catherine needs to highlight the reason for the change and key features of the revised policy, e.g. eligibility.

Imagine that you are Catherine Chung, and then handle the following two parts:

Part A (5%)

With reference to the information provided, decide the message tone required in the email to all the staff members of SB and justify your answer in no more than 100 words.

Part B (45%)

Write the email to all staff members in a full email format. You need to invent further details to

make the email sufficiently informative and logical. Remember that you will gain no marks by merely copying wording from the question into your answer, and that the letter should not exceed 350 words.

PYTHON QUESTION

Create a subclass of the Dog class named anything appropriate (e.g. Bulldog, Chihuahua, German Shepherd, etc). This subclass should consist of the following:

1. It should inherit the __init__ method from the Dog class, but add one new attribute at instantiation.

2. It should add two new methods that were not in our Dog class

3. It should overwrite one of the methods that existed in the Dog class.

-------

I'm not entirely sure where I should add this information to my dog class, nor how I should go about overwriting one of the methods.

1. Assign oxidation numbers to the Iron atoms of Magnetite. Recall Magnetite's chemical formula Fe3O4 is better written as FeOFe2O3.

2. Sketch electron filling of the d-orbitals for the Fe3+, Fe2+, Gd3+ and Y3+ ions. Rank them according to increasing paramagnetism.

3. Hessonite (Cinnamon Stone) is a variety of Grossular which is a Calcium-Aluminum rich garnet gemstone with a formula of Ca3Al2(SiO4)3.Would you expect this garnet to be magnetic? Explain.

An object at rest explodes into three fragments. The figure shows the momentum vectors of two of the fragments:

• vector P1 is directed along the p_x axis and has a magnitude of 67.0 kg m/s.
• vector P2 is at an angle of 50.0° measured counterclockwise from the positive p_x axis and has a magnitude of 92.0 kg m/s.

What are the p_x and p_y components of the momentum of the third fragment?

Design and implement class Radio to represent a radio object. The class defines the following attributes (variables) and methods:

Assume that the station and volume settings range from 1 to 10.

1. A private variable of type int named station to represent a station number. Set to
2. A private variable of type int named volume to represent the volume setting. Set to 1.
3. A private variable of type boolean named on to represent the radio on or off. Set to false.
4. A non-argument constructor method to create a default radio.
5. Method getStation() that returns the station.
6. Method getVolume() that returns the volume.
7. Method turnOn() that turns the radio on.
8. Method turnOff() that turns the radio off.
9. Method stationUp() that increments the station by 1 only when the radio is on.
10. Method stationDown() that decrements the station by 1 only when the radio is on.
11. Method volumeUp() that increment the volume by 1 only when the radio is on.
12. Method volumeDown() that decrements the volume by 1 only when the radio is on.
13. Method toString()to printout a meaningful description of the radio as follows(if the radio is on):

The radio station is X and the volume level is Y. Where X and Y are the values of variables station and volume. If the radio is off, the message is: The radio is off.

Now design and implement a test program to create a default radio object and test all class methods on the object in random order. Print the object after each method call and use meaningful label for each method call as shown in the following sample run.

Sample run:

Turn radio on:

The radio station is 1 and the volume level is 1.

Turn volume up by 3:

The radio station is 1 and the volume level is 4.

Move station up by 5:

The radio station is 6 and the volume level is 4.

Turn volume down by 1:

The radio station is 6 and the volume level is 3.

Move station up by 3:

The radio station is 9 and the volume level is 3.

Turn radio off.

The radio is off.

Turn volume up by 2: The radio is off.

Turn station down by 2: The radio is off.

An engineer is studying the effect of cutting speed on the rate of metal removal in a machining operation. However, the rate of metal removal is also related to the hardness of the test specimen. Five observations are taken at each cutting speed. The amount of metal removed y and the hardness of the specimen x are shown below in the format of a data file. Column 1 has treatment (1 for cutting speed 1000, 2 for cutting speed 1200, 3 for cutting speed 1400), column 2 has x=hardness, column 3 has y=amount of metal removed.
1 125 77.4
1 120 68.4
1 140 90.4
1 150 97.9
1 136 87.6
2 133 85.4
2 140 94.4
2 125 74
2 120 64.8
2 165 112.1
3 130 79.6
3 175 117.6
3 132 82.3
3 141 91.9
3 124 72.9


Do an analysis of these data and include the following.
1. A scatterplot of the ys versus the xs, using different symbols (or colours) to distinguish the points corresponding to different cutting speeds. Do the ys appear to be related to the xs? Include regression lines of y versus x for each cutting speed. Does it seem reasonable to believe that these three lines have the same slope?
2. An ANCOVA table.
3. An ANOVA table based on the ys, disregarding the xs, to determine whether there are differences in the (mean) amount of metal removed for different cutting speeds. Comment on differences with part (2).

You will be asked a few questions concerning the analysis.

Please use 3 decimal places for the answers below which are not integer-valued.


Part a)
The type II SS for cutting speed (treatment) is______ and its degree of freedom is______    

Part b)
The MSE for ancova is:______    and its degree of freedom is______
