Binomial probability distributions are used in business, science, engineering, and other fields. Suppose you work for a marketing agency and have to create a television ad for Brand A toothpaste. The toothpaste manufacturer claims that 40% of the toothpaste buyers prefer Brand A to Brand B. Your agency conducts a survey to check whether this claim is reasonable.Respond to the following:
How would you do the sample survey?
Explain how you would conduct the survey.
Considering this as a binomial distribution problem, how would you interpret the outcomes?
After conducting a random sample of people who do not work for the manufacturer, you found that 35/100 prefer Brand A. Could the manufacturers claim still be true?
Your random sample of 100 found only 25 people who preferred Brand A. If it is too unusual, would you still be justified in running the ad?

Now that we are preparing to study art of the Early Christian world, we will be encountering a range of images of narrative stories from the Bible and stories about the lives of the holy people Christians call saints. For this assignment, you will write a short paper of approximately 750 words (3 double-spaced pages in a reasonably-sized font, such as Times New Roman 12 point), on an image of your patron saint.Your patron saint may be a saint who shares your name, or whose feast day is your birthday. Alternatively, they may be the patron of a particular profession that interests you, or one of your favourite activities, or one whom people pray to in order to obtain relief from a problem or illness.You will be responsible for finding out who that saint is, and finding a work of art (painting, sculpture, manuscript illumination, engraving, tapestry, etc.) of that saint. This may be a simple image of the saint him- or herself, or a narrative image illustrating a story from the saints life or miracles. Ideally, you will try to find an image that is a work of art from the period covered by this course (i.e., up to about 1300 CE), although this is not essential. Do NOT write about St. Francis Xavier.If the artist is illustrating an episode from the saints life, what is it?Please attach a copy of the image to your essay.For this assignment, you may use reliable, scholarly, internet sources if you wish.

Choose one of the three ethical dilemmas and write a one-page response in your journal. The people you interview and their families have a high likelihood to suffer increased levels of violence if they are seen communicating with you. Your reports must be published and interviewees must sign an institutional review board (IRB) form, so there is potential for word to spread of their involvement with you and your institution. You believe that the neighborhood will undoubtedly benefit from a social scientific examination of how violence affects childhood development, but you are putting yourself and other families at risk in the present. What is its purpose? Would the IRB protect everyone involved in your research? If so, how?
