diagnosis was anoxia encephalopathy due to the time lapse between CPR being
initiated. The patient was eventually extubated, breathed independently for a
period of time, and then subsequently expired. The vital signs ordered by the
physician were hourly. The hypotensive episode in the recovery room had not been
reported to the registered nurse. The
risk manager is Susan Post, JD, who works in collaboration with the quality
assurance director Amy Green. Amy had noted when doing chart reviews over the
last 3 months prior to this incident that the vital signs taken in the recovery room
were not charted, not done, or not reported to the units. She was in the process of
collecting data from the
different units on this observation. She also noted a pattern of using float nurses to
several postoperative units. Prior to this incident, the clinical nurse specialist,
Michael Parks, RN, MS, CNS, was consulting with Susan Post and Amy Green
about the status of staff education on these units and what types of resources and
training was needed.
scenarios. In order to complete this assignment, you will need to use statistical
analysis software. Refer to the third study activity in Unit 1 to ensure you have all
the necessary software to do so. Note: For Excel 2011 for Mac, you must have the
Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 update 14.1 installed, issued August 2011. Solver is
included as part
of the update. After confirming that the update is installed, refer to steps 1–4 in this
Microsoft Office forum to activate the Solver. In addition, you will need to access

assertion. Identify the null and alternative hypotheses needed to test the contention.
Then identify the most appropriate sample selection technique to gather data for
testing the hypotheses. What statistical test should you use to accept or reject this
hypothesis using the data you will collect? Practical Application Scenario 2 Your
love of golf
has brought you back to the range as the new product manager for UniDun’s
Straight Flight (SF) line of golf balls. The company’s research and development
group has been experimenting with dimple patterns that promote straight flight and
feel they have achieved some degree of success; however, you are worried about
the effect that the new pattern
might have on driving distance. The Golf Ball Distances document contains test
results that compare the driving distances for the two different kinds of balls: 40
balls of the new SF type and 40 of the current UniDun type. Your job is to
determine if the current UniDun balls can be driven further than the new SF balls.
To resolve this question, you
need appropriate answers to the following four questions. Remember to use your
Business Statistics in Practice textbook, the supplementary instruction session
archives, and the optional course resources to help you answer each of the
following questions: Identify the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses for
this test. Express each in writing
and in the form of an equation. Identify the appropriate statistical test to accept or
reject the null hypothesis. Calculate the statistical parameters, the mean, variance,
and standard deviation. Then calculate the statistical test and the p-value. In a
three- to five-paragraph synopsis, explain your results to the vice president of
marketing,
including the terms of the scenario variables. Hint: You will need to use Excel’s
Analysis ToolPak, or the Mac equivalent, StatPlus:mac, to calculate the statistical
parameters, the mean, variance, and standard deviation, and to calculate the
statistical test that you have chosen and its p-value. SAS Enterprise Guide users do

visitors as they left the mall. One key question asked how much time the customer
had spent in the mall on that day. The findings from this study are provided in the
document titled Mall Time Results, provided in Resources. Columns A through D
show the time spent by the customers interviewed, according to the part of the
week and time of day when
the interviews occurred. Is there any statistically significant difference (at alpha = .
05) in the average amount of time people spend in the mall based on the part of the
week and time of day? To determine the answer to this question, you need
appropriate answers to all of the following four questions. Remember to use your
Business Statistics in
Practice textbook, the supplementary instruction session archives, and the optional
course resources to help you answer each question. Identify the null and alternative
hypotheses you should form for this test. Express each in writing and also in
equation form. Identify the appropriate statistical test to accept or reject the null
hypothesis.
Calculate the appropriate statistical test values to accept or reject your null and
alternative hypotheses. What should you tell the Mall of Elbonia’s food court
stores managers in terms of the mall’s high-traffic times and customer tendencies?

Background of the Case You have been hired as a marketing strategy consultant
for Nighthawk Motors’ new Plug-in Hybrid, the Ecostar. Nighthawk Motors is

The Ecostar is a five person compact hybrid automobile equipped with a 1.8L 4
cylinder engine. It has a range of 80 miles on batteries alone and 500 miles on a
tank of gas. Its EPA rating is 60 miles per gallon for city driving and 55 miles per
gallon for highway driving. The Ecostar is available in white, silver, blue, green,
orange, and red. The
Ecostar’s direct competitor is the Toyota Prius, but the Ecostar’s base price is
$3,000 less than the Prius. The Ecostar is also produced mostly in the United States
with over 75% of its components being built in the U.S. Below is a link comparing

your ability to design a marketing
campaign that will influence the consumer decision making process. Your first step

consumer for the Ecostar. Include things such as age, income, personality,
profession, lifestyle, and any other characteristics you think may be important.
Provide justification in support of your profile. Analyze the consumer decision
making process for
automobiles in the segment you have identified for the Ecostar. In this connection
examine how Figure 3.9 Stages in the Consumer’s Purchasing Process (refer

potential customers to buy a high involvement product as Ecostar. Auto shows are
heavily attended by the purchasing
agents for major corporations (e.g., IBM, Xerox, etc. for use by their service reps
and sales force) as well as rental car companies (e.g., Avis, Hertz, and Enterprise).

Alliances Organizations operating in the U.S. Health Care Sector (USHCS) are a
part of a larger system of services. Identify a health care delivery organization,
note how that organization is linked to other health care organizations in the
delivery system. Every organization
has a source of referral and a place they release their patients. For this assignment,
you will explore linkages and alliances. To this end, your paper should include: A
Title page A 2-3 page (double spaced) description of the organization; graphical
representation of the linkages between the organization and other
organizations/stakeholders. If
you do a Google image search for organizational linkages, you will see plenty of
examples of how they might look. You are not required to use a specific type of
graphical representation; the key is to be able to understand the relationships
between organizations by looking at your linkage graphic; A properly formatted
reference page. As is the case
with all academic papers, a well-organized paper will have a clear introduction to
the topic, a body, and a conclusion or summary paragraph. In addition, a well-
written paper will have minimal
