A company is considering an organizational change which entails adopting the use of self-managed work teams which they hope will lead to higher levels of employee satisfaction. In order to assess the attitudes of employees of the company towards this change a sample of 250 employees was selected and asked whether they favor the institution of self-managed teams. Three responses were allowed: favor, neutral or oppose. The observed frequency of the results of the survey are shown below:

A study was done in 1998 by Dr. Benjamin Levine to explore the role of altitude training in athletic performance. First, he trained athletes at low altitude, then measured their finish times in a 5 kilometer run. Then the athletes
were placed into one of the following groups: I, living and training at high altitude; Il, living at high altitude and training at low;
or Ill, living and training at low altitude. The athletes were then retested in another low-altitude 5 K race. In this study, what are the control and experimental data? What are the dependent and independent variables? The
results are expressed as average change in speed of each group. I: -3.4 sec., Il: +13.4 sec., Ill:
-26.7 sec.
a. Graph and interpret the results.
b. Did the results surprise you? Why or why not?
c. Explain why the three groups obtained the results
presented?
d.How did altitude affect blood composition and
why?
e.How would athletes' performance be affected if they live, train, and compete at different…

To measure the effectiveness of this drug they implemented a program that offered free drugs to people to decrease their cholesterol level. Health professionals also collected a sample of people, who did not have the drug, to act as a control group.

Two women, Anna and Bess, claim to be the legal owners of a diamond ring that - each claims - has great sentimental value. Neither of them can produce evidence of ownership and nobody else is staking a claim on the ring. Judge Sabio wants the ring to go to the legal owner, but he does not know which of the two women is in fact the legal owner. He decides to proceed as follows. First he announces a fine of $F > 0 and then asks Anna and Bess to play the following game. Move 1: Anna moves first. Either she gives up her claim to the ring (in which case Bess gets the ring, the game ends and nobody pays the fine) or she asserts her claim, in which case the game proceeds to Move 2. Move 2: Bess either accepts Anna's claim (in which case Anna gets the ring, the game ends and nobody pays the fine) or challenges her claim. In the latter case, Bess must put in a bid, call it B, and Anna must pay the fine of $F to Sabio. The game goes on to Move 3. Move…arrow_forward
