IBM Inc. is going to award a contract for fine-line pens to be used nationally in its offices.
Two suppliers, Bic and Pilot, have submitted bids. To determine the preference of office
employees, brokers, and others, a personal preference test is to be conducted using a
randomly selected sample of 20 employees. The .05 level of significance is to be used.
a. If the alternate hypothesis states that Bic is preferred over Pilot, is the sign test to be
conducted as a one-tailed or a two-tailed test? Explain.
b. As each of the sample members told the researchers his or her preference, a “” was
recorded if it was Bic and a “” if it was the Pilot fine-line pen. A count of the pluses
revealed that 12 employees preferred Bic, 5 preferred Pilot, and 3 were undecided.
What is n?
c. What is the decision rule in words?
d. What conclusion did you reach regarding pen preference? Explain.

ICP 5.1.An engineer proposes a design for a steam power plant. By burning natural gas, it will heat water in a boilerfrom x1 = 0, T1 = 300 “F to x; = 1, T2 = 300 °F. The flow rateof the water in the boiler is 100 [hm/s. The plant produces 50 000 Btu/s of power,and dumps waste heat to the atmosphere at 100 °F. a) How much heat OH is required to heat the water?b) How much waste heat Q is produced? c) What is the thermal efficiency Wm of the power plant?
If you were designing an incentive plan for a publicly traded company, whose voice do you think should provide that ethical audit at the table of decision makers? The chairman? The board of directors? The shareholders? The employees? The executive team or compensation committee? Outside consultants? Internal HR director? A combination of all of these?Who in your mind would be the best to ensure that the incentive plan does not cross the line and motivate the wrong kind of behavior—the kind that turns a plan from motivating good behavior into motivating wrong-doing based on the potential for a high reward?In addition, provide at least one reference to a company you have worked for or read about where someone, motivated by the potential gain from an incentive plan, went beyond the policy and the law, breaking all the rules.Consider articles from any of the popular business magazines you read regularly or conduct a quick search for any articles that have been published currently. An easy search would include incentive pay, shareholders, and pay policy.Prepare a succinct opinion in two paragraphs or fewer and post it in this unit’s discussion area
INCENTIVE PLAN DESIGNA key consideration would be the target population. If this designed for executives, then theCompensation Committee of the Board of Directors would definitely need to review…
ick one acute type of injury (there are examples in Chapter 3 of your text, but you are not limited to those–be creative and use an outside resource!) and address the following:
Step 1: Choose an acute injury and a sport/activity in which it can happen (do NOT pick an injury that someone else has already chosen–sports may be repeated with different injuries. INJURIES MAY NOT BE REPEATED) and start a message thread using that sport and injury as the title. For example, I might choose to describe lateral ankle sprains in soccer (“soccer lateral ankle sprain” would be the title of my message thread). You must use an outside resource as the foundation for your post; this can be a journal article, website, or other public video. Please create a new message in which you can post your initial post thread. Put the sport name and injury in the title of your post so your classmates do not repeat it. In the text box, describe how the injury occurs (MOI), the underlying anatomy and what happens to it, and how it would be treated with first aid. Your initial post must be a minimum of 250 words long.
Step 2: Read your classmates’ posts and reply to at least two of them on their initial post threads. Your replies should be substantive and “improve” conversation. These two peer replies must each be at least 100 words long.
Step 3: If the instructor asks you a question in your initial post thread, a thoughtful reply is expected (and part of your forum grade). There is no word count expectation for these replies; the goal is to show reflection and application of the concepts being learned.
Examples: “lateral ankle sprain” and “medial ankle sprain” are DIFFERENT injuries; likewise, “ACL sprain” and “MCL sprain are DIFFERENT
Instruction Summary: Each student must submit an initial post which is at least 250 words in length and includes at least one scholarly reference. Some instructors may require students to submit their initial forum posts to Turnitin in through the “Assignments” tab in the Sakai classroom–please check your syllabus to determine if this step is required for this course. Students are evaluated on the ability to validate, support, and provide evidence for their responses. Each student must also submit at least two classmate postings which are at least 100 words in length. The goal of classmate postings is to provide a professional, scholarly, and honest evaluation of your classmate’s content. Students are encouraged to engage in dialogue by asking pertinent questions and stating why or why not they agree with their classmates post. Initial posts are due on Wednesday by 11:55pm ET and at least two peer replies are due by Sunday at 11:55pm ET
Ideally, when you are working on a project, you would search your reference architecture framework and find a suitable reference architecture to use. But what happens if you cannot find one or if it would be too difficult to customize one?
In this case, you would have to create a new reference architecture. You would then catalog this new reference architecture in your organization’s reference architecture framework for future use.
Once you have a reference architecture, you would identify standards and related vendor product components that will help implement it.
