Encoding variability in software. At the 2012 Gulf Petrochemicals and Chemicals Association (GPCA) Forum, Oregon State University software engineers presented a paper on modeling and implementing variation in computer software. The researchers employed the compositional choice calculus (CCC) — a formal language for representing, generating, and organizing variation in tree-structured artifacts. The CCC language was compared to two other coding languages— the annotative choice calculus (ACC) and the computational feature algebra (CFA). Their research revealed the following: Any type of expression (e.g., plain expressions, dimension declarations, or lambda abstractions) found in either ACC or CFA can be found in CCC; plain expressions exist in both ACC and CFA; dimension declarations exist in ACC, but not CFA; lambda abstractions exist in CFA, but not ACC. Based on this information, draw a Venn diagram that illustrates the relationships among the three languages. (Hint: An expression represents a sample point in the Venn diagram.)

- Due to COVID19, airlines cut services, such as meals and snacks during flights, and started charging for luggage. However, they are still concerned about service. A group of four carriers hired Denny's Marketing Research Inc. to survey passengers regarding their level of satisfaction with a recent flight. The survey included questions on ticketing, boarding, in-flight service, baggage handling, pilot communication, and so forth. Twenty-five questions offered a range of possible answers: excellent, good, fair, or poor. A response of excellent was given a score of 4, good a 3, fair a 2, and poor a 1. These responses were then totaled, so the total score was an indication of the satisfaction with the flight. The greater the score, the higher the level of satisfaction with the service. The highest possible score was 100. Denny randomly selected and surveyed passengers from the four airlines. Below is the sample information. Is there a difference in the mean satisfaction level among the…arrow_forwardSome research has shown that older parents are not as strict when disciplining their children compared to younger parents. Children of older parents are more likely to be in daycare and have greater independence than children of younger parents, whereas children of younger parents are more likely to be at home with parents and other siblings, and encounter more home discipline. A researcher observed the disciplinary habits of 456 families with at least one child, categorizing each as "high" or "low" in terms of disciplinary strictness. The families were also divided into older parents (those 29 years of age or younger) and older parents (30 years old and up). Are the following data consistent with the hypothesis that older parents are not as strict when disciplining their children? Calculate gamma and interpret it's direction and magnitude, and summarize your findings in a few sentences.

- Set up a spreadsheet simulation model in which whether Atlanta wins each game is arandom variable.arrow_forwardMasculine-themed words (such as competitive, independent, analyze, strong) are commonly used in job recruitment materials especially for job advertisements in male-dominated areas (Gaucher, Friesen, & Kay, 2011). The same study found that those words also make the jobs less appealing to women. In a similar study, female participants were asked to read a series of job advertisements and then rate how interesting or appealing the job appeared to be. Half of the advertisements were constructed to include several masculine-themed words and the others were worded neutrally. The average rating for each type of advertisement was obtained for each participant. For n = 25 participants, the mean difference between the two types of advertisements is MD = 1.32 points (neutral ads rated higher) with SS = 150 for the difference scores. Is this result sufficient to conclude that there is a significant difference in the ratings for the two types of advertisements?

- As you read about each study, (a) classify the type of research that it reflects, and (b) identify the kinds of conclusions that might reasonably be drawn from the results. The director of computer technology in Emerson School District wants to gather information about the use of technology-based instruction in language arts and literature classes in the district's middle schools and high schools. For her study, the director identifies five of the top teachers in these content areas. She visits and observes each teacher's classes on three different days and subsequently interviews each teacher. Then she summarizes the ways that these teachers incorporate the use of technology into their lessons and their students' activities. The director also summarizes teachers' beliefs about the roles of technology in students' learning and motivation.
