According to the American Management Association, most U.S. companies now test at least some employees and job applicants for drug use. The U.S. National Institute on Drug Abuse claims that about 15% of people in the 18-25 age bracket use illegal drugs. Allyn Clark, a 21 year-old college graduate, applied for a job at the Acton Paper Company, took a drug test, and was not offered a job. He suspected that he might have failed the drug test, even though he does not use drugs. In checking with the company's personnel department, he found that the drug test has 99% sensitivity, which means that only 1% of drug users incorrectly test negative. Also, the test has 98% specificity, meaning that only 2% of nonusers are incorrectly identified as drug users. Allyn felt relieved by these figures because he believed that they reflected a very reliable test that usually provides good results. But is this really true?
The accompanying table shows data for Allyn and 1,499 other job applicants. Based…

In the book Business Research Methods (5th ed.), Donald R. Cooper and C. William Emory discuss studying the relationship between on-the-job accidents and smoking. Cooper and Emory describe the study as follows:
Suppose a manager implementing a smoke-free workplace policy is interested in whether smoking affects worker accidents. Since the company has complete reports of on-the-job accidents, she draws a sample of names of workers who were involved in accidents during the last year. A similar sample from among workers who had no reported accidents in the last year is drawn. She interviews members of both groups to determine if they are smokers or not.
The sample results are given in the following table.

- A psychologist develops an intervention designed to reduce test anxiety associated with taking the SAT. The psychologist claims that reduced test anxiety will lead to higher scores on the quantitative section of the SAT. Because she believes all students experience some degree of anxiety related to the SAT, she further claims her intervention should work for all students, not just those who report abnormal levels of test anxiety. She randomly selects 30 high school juniors, and with the consent of their parents, delivers her intervention. Subsequently, these students take the SAT, and she collects their scores. The quantitative section of the SAT has a mean of 500 and a standard deviation of 100 in the general population, and scores are normally distributed. a.

The aim of the study is to identify and examine the distance teaching practices of four teachers in three small, rural primary schools in Finland – small in the sense that the schools consists of between 20–50 pupils and between 3–12 teachers. The schools have experienced a decline in pupil numbers, thus, they are not able to employ teachers full-time.

What about children less than a year old - do they recognize the difference and show a preference for nice over naughty? In a study reported in the November 2007 issue of Nature, researchers investigated whether infants take into account an individual’s actions towards others in evaluating that individual as appealing or aversive, perhaps laying the foundation for social interaction (Hamlin, Wynn, and Bloom, 2007). In one component of the study, infants were shown a “climber” character (a piece of wood with “google” eyes glued onto it) that could not make it up a hill in two tries. Then they were alternately shown two scenarios for the climber’s next try, one where the climber was pushed to the top of the hill by another character (“helper”) and one where the climber was pushed back down the hill by another character (“hinderer”). The infant was alternately shown these two scenarios several times. Then the child was…arrow_forwardApplicants for temporary office work at Carter Temporary Help Agency who have successfully completed an administrative assistant course are then placed in suitable positions by Nancy Dwyer and Darla Newberg. Employers who hire temporary help through the agency return a card indicating satisfaction or dissatisfaction with the work performance of those hired. From past experience it is known that 75% of the employees placed by Nancy are rated as satisfactory, and 65% of those placed by Darla are rated as satisfactory. Darla places 60% of the temporary office help at the agency, and Nancy places the remaining 40%. If a Carter office worker is rated unsatisfactory, what is the probability that he or she was placed by Darla? (Round your answer to three decimal places.)arrow_forward
