Imagine you are a consultant for a company that uses psychological tests to predict how successful job applicants might be on the job. The test is being challenged in the courts. Discuss the types of evidence you would use to defend the test. In your response, consider the concepts of reliability and validity, and how they are related to one another.
You have recently accepted a position with Vitex, Inc., the manufacturer of a popular consumer product. During your first week on the job, the vice president has been favorably impressed with your work. She has been so impressed, in fact, that yesterday she called you into her office and asked you to attend the executive committee meeting this morning for the purpose of leading a discussion on the variances reported for last period. Anxious to favorably impress the executive committee, you took the variances and supporting data home last night to study.
On your way to work this morning, the papers were laying on the seat of your new, red convertible. As you were crossing a bridge on the highway, a sudden gust of wind caught the papers and blew them over the edge of the bridge and into the stream below. You managed to retrieve only one page, which contains the following information:
Standard Cost CardDirect materials, 2.30 pounds at $16.50 per pound$37.95Direct labor, 1.00 direct labor-hours at $15.10 per direct labor-hour$15.10Variable manufacturing overhead, 1.00 direct labor-hours at $9.20 per direct labor-hour$9.20

*Applied to Work in Process during the period.
† Entry obliterated.
You recall that manufacturing overhead cost is applied to production on the basis of direct labor-hours and that all of the materials purchased during the period were used in production. Work in process inventories are insignificant and can be ignored.
It is now 8:30 a.m. The executive committee meeting starts in just one hour; you realize that to avoid looking like a bungling fool you must somehow generate the necessary “backup” data for the variances before the meeting begins. Without backup data it will be impossible to lead the discussion or answer any questions..
2. How many pounds of direct material were purchased and used in production?

This is a compressed and precise writing assignment to gauge your ability to transpose theory into cultural analysis. The goal is a one-page single-spaced essay to begin with a thesis and end with a conclusion.
Using my History of Science Fiction essay, video, and Power Point found in the class modules, describe the 3 periods in the History of Science Fiction and how science and technology impact the humanities. For instance, Mary Shelleys novel Frankenstein was not created in a vacuum but was made in response to the arrival of electricity and autopsies to Europe.
Describe the Postmodern period in the history of Science Fiction (its catalysts and examples) and detail how the ideas of human genetic engineering are embodied in the film Gattaca (1997)
Explain and analyze how Gattaca uses Christian metaphors to frame its topic both visually (rosary in birthing scene) and through language (i.e., God Child, Faith Birth).
This assignment has two phases:
1.Comparing the price of the two airlines.
Realise the relation between the distance and price in one of the airlines. To complete this assignment, you will randomly sample matched destinations from each company, e.g. (Qatar Airways and Emirates Airline) and perform hypothesis testing to determine if there is a statistically significant difference between prices. Note you may choose the other airlines if you want, but you must be ensured that your sample size is sufficiently large to use for statistical purposes.
2.you must choose one of the companies, e.g. Qatar Airways and find the distance between origins and destinations. Then, make use of regression analysis to investigate whether any relationship can be found between the price ticket and distance. This assignment will test your statistical knowledge as well as your skills in using Minitab software for real case problems.
so i hope writer has the skills to use Minitab skillfully
