A housecleaning agency was given a key to a customer's house so that the agency could have its employees clean while the homeown

er was away. After a maid sent by the agency had finished and left the homeowner's house, she went back because she had forgotten her cigarettes. She neglected to lock the door when she left the second time because she was already late for the next job. When the homeowner returned after a few days away, she discovered that her house had been ransacked and several items of jewelry stolen. The front door was open, and there were no signs of forced entry.
If the homeowner brings an action against the agency that employed the maid, what is the likely result?
A. She will not prevail, because she is limited to claims for breach of contract based on her agreement with the agency.
B. She will not prevail, because the act of the burglar was an independent superseding cause of the homeowner's loss.
C. She will prevail, because the maid's failure to lock the door created the risk that someone might enter and take the homeowner's valuables.
D. She will prevail, because when the maid returned after having completed her work, she was technically a trespasser, making the agency vicariously liable for any damage she caused to the premises.

Answer:

C. She will prevail, because the maid's failure to lock the door created the risk that someone might enter and take the homeowner's valuables.

Explanation:

The owner of this house would win this case given that the the house cleaners negligence was what exposed her home to criminal activity. Such criminal acts can be foreseen. An open door increases the risk of theft. By not locking the door, the maid was negligent and she caused the theft to happen. This makes the agency liable for the maids negligence since they happen to be her employer

Knowing whether a variable is categorical or quantitative will help us determine an appropriate visual display or testing proced
Leokris [45]

Answer and explanation:

First, let's understand the difference between categorical and quantitative variables. A quantitative variable can also be called a numerical variable. As this name suggests, it involves numbers. It can be measured numerically and be used in calculations - this is important, because not everything that has numbers is used in calculations; take the zip code as an example. On the other hand, a categorical variable cannot be expressed numerically in the same way described above. It is related to a certain quality or characteristic of something. For instance, you can attribute the number one to a person who is sick and the number two to a person who is not sick. The numbers are just a representation of the qualities; they won't be used in calculations. Now, we can safely judge the options given:

The price in dollars of statistics textbooks. --> quantitative

The working status of a computer part (working/not working). --> categorical

The gender of faculty in the mechanical engineering department. --> categorical

The number of miles until failure of a certain brand of tires. --> quantitative

The political party affiliation of students at OSU. --> categorical

The time to complete an exam. --> quantitative

The shirt sizes of a running club. --> categorical
