Can you solve it for me plz?
‘Lakeside Manufacturing’ is a boating company that specializes in sailboats for sailing schools and Jules Paulson is the owner of the company. His lead foreman and second in command is Kevin Hill. There are a small core group of 15 employees who are fulltime and experienced in their trade and sailing. Unfortunately, over the summertime, the permanent employees like to take their vacation so they can go sailing. ‘Lakeside Manufacturing’ makes sure that at any given time over the summertime period, only 25% of the permanent staff are away at any given time so that 75% are still doing their usual jobs. This has worked to some extent; however, there are times the company feels short staffed.
Last year, Kevin had an idea that over the summer, they could hire some seasonal workers to do the work of those who are away. Kevin spoke to Jules and said that maybe they could hire students from the local university during the summer to do some of the tasks. Part of the requirement was that they either should have some boating experience or be able to know some of the woodworking or electrical work. Summer last year, it did not work so well because the students started and were randomly placed to fill gaps among the teams where the full-time employees were away on vacation. There were some challenges and tensions that would arise because the students were not as skilled at the work that the experienced employees were. Added to that, the students would have headphones on while working, taking texting moments or take breaks when they felt like and had a different perspective and attitude about the work. This annoyed some of the older experienced workers.
This year, Kevin thought that he would hire 10 students over the summer but instead of having them integrate into the work that was being done by the older more senior workers, he thought that it might be better to have all the 10 students in one team and separate from the experienced workers who were there and somewhat annoyed by the behaviour of the students. Kevin trained the students and was their liaison so that any questions or problems would be answered by him. A number of the students came back from last year so that the training was not too difficult. He also outlined what they needed to do and was less rigid on breaks and how the work was done, except that things had to be completed with care, quality and on time.
As the summer went on, the students got very good at their tasks because they were good with technology and also knew that if they would finish early, they could have free time. A healthy rivalry and competition started to emerge between the experienced workers and the students. It was productive and things were working out…for a while. Eventually, the student employees would say how fast they could work, and the older employees were slower. It was also not uncommon for the students to head over to where the older employees were working and make comments, which started to make the more experienced employees annoyed. The organization started to see two camps of employees instead of everyone working together.
Now, instead of everyone working together and feeling like they were part of ‘Lakeside Manufacturing’, both sides were either making fun of the other side or hiding tools and supplies from the other side so it would slow the other side down. It was starting to get out of hand and the owner, Jules Paulson, called Kevin Hill in to his office and said that he thinks that it might be better to not have the two sides and it might be better to just break both sides up and reassign the teams so they were all working together. Kevin thought that this might not be a good idea because he was pretty sure most, if not all, of the students would quit. Kevin has called you for your advice and thoughts on how to resolve this situation.
a) Apply some concepts from the course to explain what is going on at ‘Lakeside Manufacturing
b) Take a position on if the teams should be broken up or not and explain why
c) Based on your answer in (b) what do you recommend helping improve the situation

The discovery of the constant speed of light proved that classical physics was unable to explain more advanced scientific concepts and led to the birth of a new field—modern physics. The Michelson-Morley experiment proved that light moves at a constant speed at all times, regardless of the relative speed of the observer. Discuss why this characteristic makes light unique compared to all other moving objects in the universe. Support your reasoning with at least two concrete examples of other moving object

Racism, juries, and interactions: In a study of racism, Nail, Harton and Decker (2003) had participants read a scenario in which a police officer assaulted a motorist. Half the participants read about an African American officer who assaulted an European American motorist, and half read about a European American officer who assaulted an African American motorist. Participants were categorized based on political orientation: liberal, moderate, or conservative. Participants were told that the officer was acquitted on assault charges in state court but found guilty of violating the motorist’s rights in federal court. Double jeopardy occurs when an individual is tried twice for the same crime. Participants were asked to rate, on a scale of 1-7, the degree to which the officer had been placed in double jeopardy by the second trial. The researchers reported the interaction as F= (2,58)=10.93, p<0.0001. The means for the liberal participants were 3.18 for those who read about the African American officer and 1.91 for those who read about the European American officer. The mean for the moderate participants were 3.50 for those who read about the African American officer and 3.33 for those who read about the European American officer. The means for the conservative participants were 1.25 for those who read about the African American officer and 4.62 for those who read about the European American officer.
a. Draw a table of cell means that includes that actual means for this study.
b. Do the reported statistics indicate that there is a significant interaction? If yes, describe the interaction in your own words.
c. Draw a bar graph that depicts the interaction. Include lines that connect the tops of the bars and show the pattern of the interaction.
d. Is this quantitative or qualitative interaction? Explain
e. Change the cell mean for the conservative participants who read about an African American officer so that this is now a quantitative interaction.
f. Draw a bar graph that depicts the patter that includes the new cell means
g. Change the cell means for the moderate and conservative participants who reads about an African American officer so that there is now no interaction.
h. Draw a bar graph that depicts the pattern that includes the new cell means.
