Leslie Bradley is an entrepreneur with a small business in Little Rock, Arkansas. Working with a local engineer/inventor, Leslie

has developed a new cooking device that she thinks will revolutionize cooking. The device is a small oven that is portable and uses a gas injection system to cook meals in a fraction of the time taken in a normal oven. The new system creates a very high temperature and the gas jets are located 360 degrees around the food to be cooked, thus ensuring that the food is cooked equally on all sides. Leslie and the engineer applied for a patent and then immediately sought a relationship with a large manufacturer to produce and distribute the new oven. To her surprise, when she demonstrated it to the top three manufacturers, they all had the same reaction: "We are very interested in this new invention but we would like to see some consumer research that tells us what consumers think about the device." "Will they think the temperature is too high and represents a safety issue?" "Do they really think that a roast cooked in 6 minutes will taste the same as one roasted for 2 hours?" "How much, if any, will they be willing to pay for the added convenience of time savings?" Leslie sought the services of Weber Research, Inc. WRI was an established research firm in the city and they recommended that they use their mall facility in order to conduct some research that allowed consumers to use the device and taste the food cooked in the device. Leslie agreed but was concerned about the types of persons in the shopping mall. "They really won't represent our area since they will likely be mostly female and they will have higher incomes than the general population."
WRI assured Leslie that this could be overcome by using which of the following sampling methods?

A) quota sample
B) purposive sample
C) stratified sample
D) representative sample
E) systematic sample

Answer:

B) quota sample

Explanation:

Remember, Leslie was initially concerned about the types of persons in the shopping mall, who she believed would not represent the research area since they may likely be mostly female and they will have higher incomes than the general population.

However, using Quota sampling method, Weber Research, Inc. could look for consumer that are more likely to use the device and taste the food cooked in the device, this consumers would be divided into quotas or groups having similar characteristics and then a sample would of the population will be researched on.

Which of the following will not create minimum contacts in a state sufficient to find personal jurisdiction on an out-of-state d
Maurinko [17]

Answer: A company maintains a website that provides information about its products and that provides an address or number that a customer can contact to obtain an order form to purchase products directly from the company.

Explanation:

With different states having varying laws but yet still sharing a lot of business interests, it is important that the states know when they can have jurisdiction over a person.

Minimum contacts is the solution and is used to determine whether an entity has sufficient contacts in a state to warrant jurisdiction over them.

Simply having a website that can be accessed by people in a state does not fall under the provisions required for minimum contact to be met so the courts in this state cannot have personal jurisdiction over this company.
