Conduct on line research to learn more about a recent class action lawsuit. Prepare a report on your findings. In the report, provide details on what company was involved in the lawsuit, the issues of the lawsuit , the types of injuries suffered, the outcome (was there a settlement or remedy, and if so, what was it), and any other pertinent information .

A researcher reported that the typical teenager needs 9.3 hours of sleep per night but gets only 6.3 hours. By the end of a 5-day school week, a teenager would accumulate about 15 hours of "sleep debt." Students in a high school statistics class were skeptical, so they gathered data on the amount of sleep debt (in hours) accumulated over time (in days) by a random sample of 25 high school students. The resulting least-squares regression equation for their data is

$$\widehat{Sleep debt} = 2.23 + 3.17(days).$$

(a) Interpret the slope of the regression line in context. (b) Are the students' results consistent with the researcher's report? Explain.

Pocket Umbrella, Inc, is considering producing a new type of umbrella. This new pocket-sized umbrella would fit into a coat pocket or purse. Classify the following costs of this new product as direct materials, direct labor, manufacturing overhead, or selling and administrative. H. Cost of market research survey

Research an example of how decreased market demand for a product has affected its price. Why did demand decrease? Did the product become unnecessary or obsolete? Did the producer or its competitors offer a newer or better version? How did sellers try to increase demand for the product?

About 8% of males are colorblind. A researcher needs some colorblind subjects for an experiment and begins checking potential subjects. On average, how many men should the researcher expect to check to find one who is colorblind?

Although founded only in $2004$, Facebook has more than $500$ million active users, of which 50% log on to Facebook on any given day. In a recent survey by Facebook, young users (those born after 1984) were asked about their preference for delivering the news about breaking up a relationship (The Wall Street Journal, November 27-28, 2010). One of the shocking results was that only 47% of users preferred to break the news in person. A researcher decides to verify the survey results of Facebook by taking her own sample of $200$ young Facebook users. The preference percentages from Facebook and the researcher's survey are presented in the following table.

$$\begin{array}{|l|c|c|} \hline \begin{array}{l} \text { Delivery } \\ \text { Method } \end{array} & \begin{array}{c} \text { Facebook } \\ \text { Results } \end{array} & \begin{array}{c} \text { Researcher's } \\ \text { Results } \end{array} \\ \hline \text { In Person } & 47 \% & 55 \% \\ \hline \text { Phone } & 30 \% & 28 \% \\ \hline \text { Email } & 4 \% & 8 \% \\ \hline \text { Facebook } & 5 \% & 3 \% \\ \hline \text { Instant Message } & 14 \% & 6 \% \\ \hline \end{array}$$

At the 5% level of significance, test if the researcher's results are inconsistent with the survey results conducted by Facebook. Provide the details, using the $p$-value approach.

From the list below, supply the words needed to complete the paragraph. Some words will not be used. nanotechnology, precept, pungent, wunderkind, irrevocable, impasse, concurrent. "Every word is recorded in this laboratory, so use caution, because anything you say will be _____," Dr. Bryant warned Matt as they walked past the _____ department of the robotics research division. Matt was still ecstatic about his new job with Neutrodyne, a world leader in robotic technology. Like many of the research staff, Matt had been a[n] _____ who had completed high school and college by the age of seventeen. Now, at twenty-six, he had a doctorate in physics and was the first choice for recruiters from several major corporations, three of which were government contractors. Matt had decided to take the job with Neutrodyne because he was afraid that he might reach a[n] _____ working for the government if his political views did not support the nature of his assigned research. He wanted the ability to merge his _____ with his career, and Neutrodyne seemed to be the best place to do it.

Identify events that gave rise and structure to the civil rights movement in the 1950s and 1960s. Incorporate information from the textbook and your own research as relevant. Create a graphic presentation to organize and present your findings. Tailor your presentation as needed to make its content clear to your audience.

Amyloid Fibers in Disease Several small aromatic molecules, such as phenol red (used as a nontoxic drug model), have been shown to inhibit the formation of amyloid in laboratory model systems. A goal of the research on these small aromatic compounds is to find a drug that would efficiently inhibit the formation of amyloid in the brain in people with incipient Alzheimer's disease.
(a) Suggest why molecules with aromatic substituents would disrupt the formation of amyloid.
(b) Some researchers have suggested that a drug used to treat Alzheimer's disease may also be effective in treating type 2 (non-insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus. Why might a single drug be effective in treating these two different conditions?
