Amanda, one of Abigail's fellow workers at BOSS, was surprised to learn that her department's schedule was changed from a standa

rd 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. day, with an hour for lunch, to a work day that began at 8 a.m. and ended at 6 p.m., and that included a two-hour lunch. BOSS was located in the far suburbs, and there was little Amanda could do during the two-hour lunch period. What especially upset Amanda was the realization that when she got off work at 6 p.m. and drove 30 minutes to pick up her child at day care, she would be at least an hour late for daycare and would have to pay a very costly penalty. There were no day care facilities closer to the job, so Amanda had little recourse. She raised this concern to her supervisor, and when she was told that the new schedules were going to remain 8-6 with a two-hour lunch, Amanda began a campaign to pressure BOSS to change that schedule back. She wrote letters to the local newspaper, and called a local TV station. When Amanda's employer learned of Amanda's actions, it discharged her under Employment at Will (EAW). Amanda filed suit for wrongful discharge, claiming that this was a public policy exception to EAW because it constrained her Constitutional First Amendment right to Freedom of Speech. Which of the following is most correct?
a. Amanda will not win her lawsuit for wrongful discharge.
b. Amanda will not win her lawsuit for wrongful discharge unless the court decides that Amanda had legal standing to bring the case.
c. Amanda will win her lawsuit for wrongful discharge unless the court decides that BOSS had legitimate business necessity for changing the schedule.
d. Amanda will win her lawsuit for wrongful discharge.

Answer: A. Amanda will not win her lawsuit for wrongful discharge.

Explanation:

Based on the information that was provided, Amanda will not win her lawsuit for wrongful discharge.

The employer-at-will simply means that an employer can dismiss his or her worker as long as it's not illegal. In this case, Amanda will not win because she's hired "at will," and in such cases, the courts will deny her any loss claim that results from her dismissal.

Drying times for newly painted microwave oven cabinets are normally distributed with a mean of 2.5 minutes and a standard deviat
Marina86 [1]

Answer: 3.22

Explanation:

Given that;

mean = 2.5 min

standard deviation = 0.25 min

now to get the value of X required, we say

z = (x - u) / a

where z is the distance from the mean measured in the standard deviation units, x is the value we are interested in, u is the mean distribution, a is the standard deviation of the distribution.

the time delay should be just enough to allow 99.8% of the cabinets to dry completely = 99.8/100 = 0.9980

first we determine an appropriate z value.

Using the standardized normal tables,

value of z for approximately 0.9980 is 2.88

so using our initial equation z = (x - u) / a

we substitute the value

z = (x - u) / a

2.88 = ( x - 2.5) / 0.25

2.88 * 0.25 = x - 2.5

0.72 = x - 2.5

x = 0.72 + 2.5

x = 3.22
