The top 25 business schools, as determined by reputation, student selectivity, placement success, and graduation rate, are listed in the table. For each school, three variables were measured: (1) GMAT score for the typical incoming student; (2) student acceptance rate (percentage accepted of all students who applied); and (3) starting salary of the typical graduating student.

Moreover, employee surveys are conducted to assess aspects of the organization's culture, such as trust and openness to change. In an attempt to determine what affects turnover rate, a sample of 33 companies was randomly selected, and data were collected on the average annual bonus and turnover rate (%) for 2008. In addition, a questionnaire was administered to the employees of each company to arrive at a trust index (measured on a scale of 0-100). Below are the multiple regression results.

The survey respondents rate companies according to 20 attributes that are classified into six categories: (1) social responsibility, (2)vision and leadership, (3)financial Performance ,(4)products and services, (5) emotional appeal, and (6) workplace environment.

That figure is disputed by the union, which does not believe that the mean blue-collar income is less than $30,000. To test the company president’s belief, an arbitrator draws a random sample of 350 blue-collar workers from across the country and asks each to report his or her annual income. If the arbitrator assumes that the blue-collar incomes are normally distributed with a standard deviation of $8,000, can it be inferred at the 5% significance level that the company president is correct?

- Here are the countries with the five highest estimated costs of software piracy: United States ($9.1 billion), China ($8.7 billion), India ($2.7 billion), France ($2.1 billion), United Kingdom ($1.9 billion). Among these five countries, the United States has 37.1% of the cost of piracy. Is it correct to conclude that the United States has 37.1% of the total cost of piracy for all countries? What do these results tell us about the costs of piracy in the other countries not included here?arrow_forwardIn the midst of labor-management negotiations, the president of a company argues that the company's blue-collar workers, who are paid an average of $43,000 per year, are well paid because the mean annual income of all blue-collar workers in the country is less than $43,000. That figure is disputed by the union, which does not believe that the mean blue- collar income is less than $43,000. To test the company president's belief, an arbitrator draws a random sample of 225 blue-collar workers from across the country and asks each. to report his or her annual income. The sample mean annual income of the 225 randomly selected blue-collar workers was $43,318. Assume that the population standard deviation is $5,000.

To offset the reduction, the largest state university proposed a 20%20% tuition increase. It was determined that such a large increase was needed to simply compensate for lost support from the state. Random samples of 100 freshmen, 100 sophomores, 100 juniors, and 100 seniors from the university were asked whether they were strongly opposed to the increase, given that it was the minimum increase necessary to maintain the university’s budget at current levels. The results are given in the table.
