Use the Student_Data.xls file which consists of 200 MBA students at Whatsamattu U. The file includes variables regarding students’ age, gender, major, GPA, Bachelors GPA, course load, English speaking status, family, weekly hours spent studying. I have uploaded the materials for UNIT needed. This Unit is much like Unit 03 but now you are comparing two different samples to each other rather than some stated norm. You still will choose one of the three directions for the test.....two-tailed, upper tailed, or lower tailed.....depending on how the problem is worded. Or if testing more than two variables, and using the ANOVA test, you look to the post hoc section to observe any significant differences if you reject the null. COMPLETE PROBLEM 1: The battle of the sexes lives on still today. Since admission standards do not address gender there should be an equally diverse group of men and women in school, but do they perform equally well? Using the sample of 200 students (in the data file), conduct a hypothesis test for two independent samples to determine if the mean GPA differs for men and women. Use a .05 significance level. Report on your findings (100+ words, 3 or more sentences). In your report, be sure to include the results of the hypothesis test and indicate whether you are using a two-tail, upper-tail, or lower-tail test. COMPLETE PROBLEM 2: You have heard that men are more likely than women to declare a major in an MBA program. Using the sample of 200 students (in the data file), conduct a hypothesis test of proportions to determine if the proportion of women with “no major” is greater than the proportion of men with “no major”. Use a .05 significance level. Report on your findings (100+ words, 3 or more sentences). In your report, be sure to include the results of the hypothesis test and indicate whether you are using a two-tail, upper-tail, or lower-tail test. COMPLETE PROBLEM 3: You have probably heard that if you want something done, give it to a busy person. So is one’s employment status a factor in their academic performance? Using the sample of 200 students (in the data file), conduct a hypothesis test using Analysis of Variance to determine if there is a difference in the mean GPA for those who are unemployed vs. work part-time vs. work full-time. Report on your findings (100+ words, 3 or more sentences). In your report, be sure to include the results of the hypothesis test and indicate whether you are using a two-tail, upper-tail, or lower-tail test. Also include a chart comparing the means of the three groups.

The question requires students to demonstrate an understanding of and ability to employ research methods utilized within my field of business, (Automation use by consumers) and expected to critique research methodologies that are used by scholar practitioners and compose responses that identify best practices in research.  This is a (7) page paper.

8 Merger, Acquisition, and International Strategies worth 300 points Choose two (2) public corporations in an industry with which you are familiar – one (1) that has acquired another company and operates internationally and one (1) that does not have a history of mergers and acquisitions and operates solely within the U.S. Research each company on its own Website, the public filings on the Securities and Exchange Commission EDGAR database (http://www.sec.gov/edgar.shtml), The annual report will often provide insights that can help address some of these questions. Write a six to eight (6-8) page paper in which you: For the corporation that has acquired another company, merged with another company, or been acquired by another company, evaluate the strategy that led to the merger or acquisition to determine whether or not this merger or acquisition was a wise choice. Justify your opinion. For the corporation that has not been involved in any mergers or acquisitions, identify one (1) company that would be a profitable candidate for the corporation to acquire or merge with and explain why this company would be a profitable target.  For the corporation that operates internationally, briefly evaluate its international business-level strategy and international corporate-level strategy and make recommendations for improvement.  For the corporation that does not operate internationally, propose one business-level strategy and one corporate-level strategy that you would suggest the corporation consider. Justify your proposals. Use at least three (3) quality references. Note: Wikipedia and other Websites do not quality as academic resources. Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements: Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions. Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required page length.
