The number of daily new cases of COVID-19 in the USA increased after the holidays (Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year, etc) as seen in the chart below. Following Shewhart's definition of "chance" and "assignable" causes of variability, should these increases in the daily new cases of COVID-19 be classified as: "chance" or "assignable" ?

The number of confirmed cases is lower than the number of actual cases; the main reason for that is limited testing. Christmas LINEAR LOG Add country 250,000 Thanksgiving 200.000

In 1986 a catastrophic nuclear accident in the Ukraniancity of Chernobyl exposed the surrounding area to largeamounts of radiation. Since then, scientists have beeninvestigating the aftereffects on plants, animals, andhumans. A 2007 study examined 841 barn swallowsthere, noting the incidence of deformed toes and beaks, abnormal tail feathers, deformed eyes, tumors, and albi-nism (a condition that involves discoloration of the birds’ plumage). Previous studies involving thousands of barn swallows in Spain, Italy, and Denmark had seen albi-nism in 4.35% of this species, yet 112 of the Chernobyl swallows displayed the condition.a) Is there evidence that the albinism rate is higheramong Chernobyl barn swallows? b) What does this study tell us about the effect of nu-clear contamination on barn swallows?

Accountants at the Tucson firm, Larry Youdelman,CPAs, believed that several traveling executives were submittingunusually high travel vouchers when they returned from businesstrips. First, they took a sample of 200 vo uchers submitted fromthe past year. Then they developed the following multiple regressionequation relating expected travel cost to number of days onthe road (x1) and distance traveled (x2) in miles:y = $90.00 + $48.50x1 + $.40x2The coefficient of correlation computed was .68.a) If Barba ra Downey returns from a 300-miJe trip that took herout of town for 5 days, what is the expected amount she shouldclaim as expenses?b) Downey submitted a reimbursement request for $685.

An automobile manufacturer claims that its van has a 37.437.4 miles/gallon (MPG) rating. An independent testing firm has been contracted to test the MPG for this van since it is believed that the van has an incorrect manufacturer's MPG rating. After testing 280280 vans, they found a mean MPG of 37.837.8. Assume the standard deviation is known to be 2.32.3. A level of significance of 0.050.05 will be used. Find the value of the test statistic. Round your answer to 2 decimal places. Enter the value of the test statistic.
Mr. A wants to study the salient factors that may influence the adoption of Social Networking Sites (SNS) for educational purposes. For this, he identifies the variables such as trust (TR), emotional attachment (EA), resource and material sharing (RA), communication (COM), and collaboration (COL) that may affect the adoption of the Social Networking Sites (SNS). Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was employed to perform reliability and validity checks, and Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) was employed to test the proposed conceptual model. This study could help instructors and managements at higher educational institutions to formulate strategies to encourage the students to use social networking sites for academic purposes. Based on the above information, answer the following questions. Develop the conceptual model of the study. Develop the alternative hypothesis of the study. Develop the research objective of the study. Suggest the target…
AccuSound Corporation manufactures printed circuits for stereo amplifiers. A common product defect is a “drift” caused by failure to maintain precise heat levels during the production process. Rejects from the 100 percent testing program can be reworked to acceptable levels if the defect is drift. However, in a recent analysis of customer complaints, Marie Allen, the assistant controller, and the quality control engineer determined that normal rework does not bring the circuits up to standard. Sampling showed that about half of the reworked circuits will fail after extended amplifier operation. The incidence of failure in the reworked circuits is projected to be about 10 percent over five years. Unfortunately, there is no way to determine which reworked circuits will fail, because testing will not detect the problem. The rework process could be changed to correct the problem, but the cost-benefit analysis for the suggested change indicates that it is not economically feasible.…
4. C-Spec, Inc., is attempting to determine whether an existing machine is capable of milling an engine part that has a key specification of 4 ± 0.003 inches.

A well-known theoretician at Institution A is called by an experimentalist at Institution B to discuss what appears to be a new discovery, based on a highly original approach to the measurements in question. The discovery supports the theorists highly controversial approach to the problem. However there is a substantial amount of work needed before the results can be submitted for publication. The theorist has been invited to present a seminar at Institution C, where she is a candidate for a position, and where competitors of the experimentalist at Institution B are found. She was not told explicitly that his conversation with the experimentalist at Institution B was privileged.Questions What should she do in preparing for his visit? What are the potential conflicts of interests? What ethical considerations should the theorist consider in preparing her talk? Are there other actions that she could or should take in preparing for the visit? [OR]Suppose you have a strong interest in…
