Scenario A: You are a Watch Commander in a large metropolitan police agency. Recently, vehicular burglaries have increase substantially in one of the patrol beats under your command. The Captain thinks a saturation patrol strategy would reduce vehicular burglaries. This patrol strategy involves assigning a large number of patrol resources into the beat during times when vehicular burglaries are likely to occur. The theory behind this is that an increased police presence will deter would be burglars. You have been asked to conduct a study to see if a saturation patrol strategy will reduce vehicular burglaries in this patrol beat. Your alternative hypothesis is; An increase of patrol person hours (measured in hours) in the affected beat will reduce vehicular burglaries (measured in the number of incidents).

1. What is the independent variable in the above hypothesis?

2. What is the level of measurement for the independent variable”?

3. What is the dependent variable in the above hypothesis?

4. What is the level of measurement for the dependent variable?

5. What type (association or difference) of hypothesis is the above hypothesis?

This question has been answered before. I need a new, slightly modified code for the following:

A palindrome is a word that it reads the same left to right and right to left. For this programming assignment, you need to write a C++ program that does the following:

  • Request the user to enter a string.
  • Write a recursive function that will test the string to validate if it is a palindrome or not.
  • Respond back with an output saying if the original string was a palindrome or not.

Please provide new code along with screenshot of output.

9.3. Jean Clark is the manager of the Midtown Saveway Grocery Store. She now needs to replenish her supply of strawberries. Her regular supplier can provide as many cases as she wants. However, because these strawberries already are very ripe, she will need to sell them tomorrow and then discard any that remain unsold. Jean estimates that she will be able to sell 10, 11, 12, or 13 cases tomorrow. She can purchase the strawberries for $3 per case and sell them for $8 per case. Jean now needs to decide how many cases to purchase.

Jean has checked the store’s records on daily sales of strawberries. On this basis, she estimates that the prior probabilities are 0.2, 0.4, 0.3, and 0.1 for being able to sell 10, 11, 12, and 13 cases of strawberries tomorrow.

  1. Develop a decision analysis formulation of this problem by identifying the decision alternatives, the states of nature, and the payoff table.
  1. If Jean is dubious about the accuracy of these prior probabilities and so chooses to ignore them and use the maximax criterion, how many cases of strawberries should she purchase?
  1. How many cases should be purchased if she uses the maximin criterion?

Commercial club soda is produced by pressurizing water with 10 atmo- spheres of CO2. Find the value of KH for CO2 on the net or in the library, and calculate how much CO2 is in a 12 fl. oz. glass of club soda. When the CO2 reverts to the gas phase (as it eventually will in your digestive system), figure out how much volume it occupies at physiological conditions (37o C and 1 atm). Then contemplate burping.

Case Study Instructions: Read this case study and answer the questions that follow: Virgin was founded...

Case Study Instructions: Read this case study and answer the questions that follow: Virgin was founded in 1970 by Richard Branson and is classified as a holding company for multiple ventures under the Virgin Group. When it comes to innovation Virgin is one of the top companies in the world. What began as a mail order record company has evolved into one of the most diverse companies in existence. Virgin invests in and builds companies that revolve around delivering fantastic customer experience and change the scope of industries. They do everything from space tourism to air travel, make comic books and video games. The company now holds over 200 companies and operates in 29 countries. They’ve found that the most successful ideas they get are the ones that are marketing, sales, and customer focused, sit under the Virgin brand, have a well-defined and differentiated customer offer and oftentimes are delivered in partnership with experts in their field.
Virgin takes the ideas it gets and boils them down into several categories. Anything that doesn’t quite fit into an existing company gets sent to corporate development for review. They take the time to read and respond to every proposal. They do not disclose how rewards are awarded but there are substantial ones for good ideas that are implemented. Internally Virgin also sources business plans and ideas from employees. Once a flight attendant had an idea. It got presented to the CEO and before long she had a considerable role in starting up Virgin Brides (which beyond being a fantastic idea didn’t quite work out in the market place). It’s incredible that a flight attendant can have an idea that makes it that far in a company. Notice that Virgin has over 200 companies under it. If you stop for a second you’ll realize just how massive that number is. That is a lot of innovation for a company only 40 years old. Financially they do quite well so obviously something has been working out for them. Not a lot of firms innovate this much or support this much innovation but that’s kind of the key – they don’t just source great ideas, they act on them. Sourcing this many fantastic ideas isn’t easy – it’s a lot of hard work for the company and they have to devote time and resources to going through all of them never mind actually taking the time to respond. But it shows that they care and that they’re serious about this. All great innovations come from an idea. Some go so far as to say it’s the most important part of the process (Seth Godin would likely disagree and say that shipping is the most important). Some companies looking at Virgin’s requirements might find them surprisingly strict, others surprisingly loose. No matter how you view it the only thing that remains true at the end of the day is that Virgin’s strategy works – and it works well.

Required:
Business excellence is about strategy. From the case study which strategies has Virgin used to achieve continuous creativity and innovation.
