Answer:

C). Shannon's physician gives her some pain medication and tells her not to drive after she takes it, as the medication induces drowsiness. In spite of the doctor's warning, Shannon decides to drive to the store while on the medication. Owing to her lack of alertness, she fails to stop at a traffic light and crashes into another vehicle, causing a passenger in that vehicle to be injured.

Explanation:

Negligence is defined as the 'tort whereby a duty of reasonable or standard care as defined by law is breached, causing damage or any conduct short of .'

In the above situation, Shanon was aware of the after-effects of the medication she took as her physician instructs her to not drive because she may feel drowsy. Despite this warning, her decision to drive to the store reflects her negligence i.e. 'intentional action that falls below the legal standard for preventing unreasonable damage or harm.' Thus, <u>option C</u> is the correct answer.

loris [4]

Answer:

a. Physical appearance

Explanation:

The Physical appearance of a person is as a result of the genetic make up of the individual. This factor barely has an influence on an individual’s core belief system.

Religious background is a key element of individual’s core belief system as it forms the basis of one's belief about God, life, fate and destiny.

Family upbringing forms the basis of one's belief as the individual grows. The influence of the members of a family forms a part of the individual's core belief.

Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

t=\frac{5000-5600}{\frac{800}{\sqrt{16}}}=-3      

Explanation:

Data given and notation      

\bar X=5000 represent the sample mean      

s=800 represent the standard deviation for the sample      

n=16 sample size      

\mu_o =5600 represent the value that we want to test    

\alpha represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.    

t would represent the statistic (variable of interest)      

p_v represent the p value for the test (variable of interest)  

State the null and alternative hypotheses.      

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to determine if the mean is lower than 5600, the system of hypothesis would be:      

Null hypothesis:\mu \geq 5600      

Alternative hypothesis:\mu < 5600      

We don't know the population deviation, so for this case is better apply a t test to compare the actual mean to the reference value, and the statistic is given by:      

t=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}} (1)      

t-test: "Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine if the mean is (higher, less or not equal) to an specified value".  

Calculate the statistic      

We can replace in formula (1) the info given like this:      

t=\frac{5000-5600}{\frac{800}{\sqrt{16}}}=-3

Answer:

Variable manufacturing overhead rate variance= $664 favorable

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Variable overhead 0.2 hours $ 5.10 per hour

The company used 1,660 direct labor-hours to produce this output. The actual variable overhead cost was $7,802.

<u>To calculate the variable overhead rate variance, we need to use the following formula:</u>

Variable manufacturing overhead rate variance= (standard rate - actual rate)* actual quantity

Actual rate= 7,802/1,660= $4.7

Variable manufacturing overhead rate variance= (5.1 - 4.7)*1,660

Variable manufacturing overhead rate variance= $664 favorable

IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

The answer is because of the nature of each business and that is explained below.

Finally, it is quite understood that the information technology will always be more difficult to manage in e-business becuase of all the variables and factors that influece the information and the decision making process of the company.
