The results in the Chaney and Philipich (2002) paper are consistent with stock market participants putting a high value on a high-quality audit.  

A client has just been diagnosed with gestational diabetes. They cry out, “Oh no! I will never be able to give myself shots!” Which of the following responses by the nurse is appropriate at at this time? 

STEM Corporation gives all employees an aptitude test.  The test results for all exams are normally distributed with a historical average score of 70 and standard deviation of 6. The company has hired a new set of employees this year, tested them, and from that group of new employees, STEM selects a simple random sample of those 30 new STEM employees to review the test results.1. Should we assume (or not assume) a normal distribution for this sample of 30 employees?  Answer yes or no and why.[NormalDist]2. For this sample of 30 employees (n = 30), what is the point estimate or expected value for the average aptitude test score?  [PEMean]–Provide the following answers to 4 decimal places.–3. Calculate the standard error of the sample mean,

The manufacturer of Skittles is considering changing the flavor of the green Skittle from lime to green apple. In order to help with that decision, Skittles performs a comparison taste test in St. Louis. Two hundred (200) consumers taste tested the Skittles, and 156 responded that they preferred the lime flavor, while 44 responded they preferred the green apple flavor.1. What is the point estimate of the proportion of consumers who prefer lime flavor over green apple?  [PointEstP]–Provide all answers that follow to 4 decimal places.–2. At 90% confidence, what is the margin of error for the proportion of consumers who prefer the lime flavor?  [MofE90]3. Provide a 90% confidence interval for the population proportion of consumers who prefer the lime flavor for green Skittles:    [LoCI90]  to  [HiCI90]4. Looking now at the weird consumers who prefer the green apple flavor (after all, Skittles shouldn’t be sour tasting–yuck), provide a 95% confidence interval for the population proportion of consumers who prefer the green apple flavor for green Skittles:    [LoCI95]  to  [HiCI95]5. After the taste testing in St. Louis, Skittles plans to do another round of taste testing next week in Denver. Skittles wants to increase the confidence or probability to 99% with a margin of error of 4% (.04).  How many people should Skittles sample at the taste testing event in Denver?  [n]

In sampling, the statistician basically has two tools that are within his/her control to affect (a) the probability or confidence, and (b) the margin of error for any particular sampling process. That is, we can change the confidence we have in sampling by changing two things. What are those two things? 1.  [Group1]2.  [Group2]

Skittles brand candies are manufactured by the Wrigley Company in Yorkville, IL.  On average, three percent (.03) of all Skittles chewy candy shells are defective, i.e. they stick together, their shell doesn’t harden correctly, they’re too small, etc. As part of the daily quality control process, a random sample of 50 pieces of Skittles candy are selected and checked for defects.1. When a daily quality control check is performed, what is the point estimate or expected value for the proportion,
