Substance abuse has always been a problem at colleges and universities. However, some are alarmed by the recent misuse of prescription medication and by the legalization of marijuana in some states. Many businesses are concerned that substance abuse will impact them if graduates (future employees) have developed a pattern of substance abuse while still in college.  An article reported that 46% of U.S. college students have been involved in some type of substance abuse.

Substance abuse has been a concern of the president of Rocky University for several years. Some faculty members in the university believe that substance abuse is more widespread at Rocky than at other universities, while other faculty members think that substance abuse is not a major problem in the college. To resolve some of these issues, the president of the university commissioned a study to assess the current substance abuse behavior of students at Rocky. As part of this study, an anonymous exit survey was administered to a sample of 90 students from this year’s graduating class. Responses to the following questions were used to obtain data regarding three types of substance abuse.

1. During your time at Rocky, did you ever participate in binge drinking?

   ____ Yes
   ____ No

2. During your time at Rocky, did you ever abuse prescription medication?

   ____ Yes
   ____ No

3. During your time at Rocky, did you ever use any type of illegal or illicit drug (not included in questions 1 or 2)?

   ____ Yes
   ____ No

Any student who answered yes to one or more of these questions was considered to have been involved in some type of substance abuse. The complete data set is in the file named Abuse, linked at the bottom of the page.

Managerial Report
Prepare a report (see below) for the president of the university that summarizes your assessment of the nature of substance abuse by students at Rocky University. Be sure to include the following seven (7) items in your report.

1. To summarize the data, compute the proportion of all students, the proportion of all male students, and the proportion of all female students who
   1. Participated in binge drinking.
   2. Abused prescription medication.
   3. Used illegal or illicit drugs.
      Then comment on your findings.
2. Develop 90% confidence intervals for the proportion of all students, the proportion of all male students, and the proportion of all female students who were involved in some type of substance abuse.
3. Develop 90% confidence intervals for the proportion of all students, the proportion of all male students, and the proportion of all female students who participated in binge drinking.
4. Develop 90% confidence intervals for the proportion of all students, the proportion of all male students, and the proportion of all female students who abused prescription medication.
5. Develop 90% confidence intervals for the proportion of all students, the proportion of all male students, and the proportion of all female students who used illegal or illicit drugs.
6. Conduct a hypothesis test (using either the p-value approach or the critical value approach) to determine if the proportion of all students at Rocky University who were not involved in some type of substance abuse is less than that of all U.S. students elsewhere.  Use α = 0.10.
   Do not forget to include the correctly worded hypotheses.
7. What advice would you give to the president of the university based on your analysis of the data? What is the magnitude of the issue? What would you recommend for both students and faculty? What is the potential impact on relationships with the business community and what would you recommend? How can this study be improved?

Motivation: After having finished the Warehouse Management I am sure you should now be able to solve the following challenge.
Scenario: The warehouse management system has been tested without any problems, so the management decided to use the system productively. Now your task is to order two different products (water bottles and road helmets) from the supplier Spy Gear, 50 pieces each. A water bottle will cost 11 USD and a road helmet will cost 27 USD. The trading goods should be delivered in 8 days.
After the goods arrived in your Distribution Center in San Diego they need to be transferred in two different bins.

WM case study II:
Motivation: After having finished the Warehouse Management II case study you should now be able to solve the following challenge.
Scenario: The warehouse management system has been tested without any problems, so the management decided to use the system productively. The distribution center in San Diego will be delivering customers very soon. In order to do so you need to ensure that there are enough black Deluxe Touring Bikes available on stock. Unfortunately, you can not order any from your plant in Dallas, due to problems with one of the assembly lines there are no free resources available. In order to have 50 black Deluxe Touring Bikes (estimation by the management) in San Diego on time you need to order them from your plant in Heidelberg (Germany). The delivery time is 10 days maximum.
As soon as the goods arrive in your DC in San Diego they need to be stored in the same bin where the black Touring Bikes from this case study already are.
Tips: You can use the Warehouse Management II case study as a guideline but it is recommended to complete this challenge without further assistance to prove your WM skills.
WM case study III:
Motivation After having finished the Warehouse Management III case study you should now be able to solve the following challenge.
Scenario The warehouse management system has been tested without any problems, so the management decided to use the system productively. Due to a higher demand for bikes for the Tour de France black Professional Touring Bikes are almost out of stock in Europe. The Distribution Center in San Diego still has them available so that the delivery of a wholesale sales order has been managed by the new warehouse management system.
The customer VeloDOM from Magdeburg (Germany) ordered 20 black Professional Touring Bikes with a delivery time of 10 days.
Tips You can use the case study Warehouse Management III as a guideline, but it is recommended to complete this challenge without further assistance to prove your WM skills.

Steve is renting a property from Billy.  One evening Steve tripped and fell down the stairs. The issue is that one of the stairs in the common area was faulty. Billy knew about the stair, but he had never got around to fixing it.  

Steve injured his leg, so he decided to return to his room. The heater was not working (and it was in the middle of winter). Steve had told Billy about the faulty heater for months, but Billy never got around to fixing it. There is a local ordinance that requires landlords to repair heaters.  Additionally, assume that this jurisdiction includes the implied warranty of habitability. The jurisdiction recognizes constructive eviction, and it follows the majority rule of when landlords are liable for injuries.

What causes of action does Steve have?

What remedies does he have for the faulty heater?

W5 Assignment

Our choices of social media shape our perceptions of events, issues, and people. Cultural memberships influence the content of digital and online communication. Social media have altered how we perceive time and space. People tend to feel anonymous online, even when they have a name associated with their avatar. On the internet, computer mediated conversations lack body language, voice intonation, and other important nonverbal elements. Without these features, people are compelled to fill in the gaps with assumptions about the nonverbal elements. Read the following paragraph (taken from http://archives.obsus.com/obs/english/books/editinc/can_talk.htm; bottom of web page) about a flame war. For some reason, people become much more sensitive when they’re online, and they tend to blow things entirely out of proportion—for example, taking a couple of sentences originally meant to be humorous or sarcastic entirely the wrong way. It’s even worse if you’ve had a bad day and you’ve decided that “no one likes you” (we’ve all had those moments); you’re much more susceptible to misunderstanding messages. Once that happens, everything can go downhill quickly. Instead of asking for clarification (“You were kidding, weren’t you?”) or just ignoring it, many people—forgetting that they’re dealing with another human being on the other end—decide to defend themselves and tell the originator of the offending message exactly what they think of him or her. This outcome is what’s known in the business as a flame. If both sides begin insulting each other, it’s called a flame war (kind of like fighting fire with fire). These digital battles often erupt in “public” and can sometimes be very entertaining to the lurkers.”

Describe a situation online where you witnessed trolling and flaming. What was the situation? How were the comments handled? Do you think this same situation would have happened in a face-to-face environment? Why or why not? How can situations like this be minimized? Please use the terms for your text about social media and nonverbal and guidelines for improving nonverbal communication found in Chapter 5 to respond to this question. Your paper should be a 2-3 page paper citing specific examples and providing detailed analysis incorporation reading and textbook material. If outside sources are used, proper citation of the source should be included.
