As we learned within this module, the primary market is where a company first sells its stock to the general public. Perform an online search for a company that had its initial public offering (IPO) of stock within the last year and analyze its stock performance since the offering. Also detail the motivations behind a company issuing an IPO and explain how a company’s stock price is set for an IPO.

Analysis paper structure

1. Prior to being hired, the ten salespersons for a computer store were given a standard sales aptitude test. For each individual, the score achieved on the aptitude test and the number of computer systems sold during the first 3 months of their employments are shown here (20 points)

 

Name	Score on aptitude test	Units sold in 3 months
Susan Michael Smith Randy Todd Rick Wilson Lily Tom Molly	80 70 45 90 21 44 57 88 29 78	55 45 10 60 5 11 51 70 21 56

 

(A). Determine the regression line (dependent variable: Unit sold in 3 month, independent variable: Score on aptitude test) and interpret the slope and discuss its significance.

(B). Predict, for a new employee who scores 60 on the sales aptitude test, the number of units the new employee will see in her first 3 months with the company.

2. The following data describe U.S. motor vehicle travel and fuel consumption from 2002 through 2007. The data represent billions of gallons consumed and billions of miles traveled, respectively.(20 points)

 

Year	Fuel Consumed	Mile Traveled
2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007	168.7 170.0 173.5 174.8 174.9 180.9	2856 2890 2965 2989 3014 3111

 

• Determine the regression line for predicting fuel consumption on the basis of driving mile
• Use the 0.05 level in testing whether the slope of driving mile could be zero, and interpret the slope

 

* Immunization for Adolescents- This is a measure that could best be classified as very outcome oriented. Typically preventative measures are directed toward preventing a certain outcome. A measure such as immunization for adolescents is a typically simple process as the key focus is to make this type of healthcare measure affordable and efficient for a huge majority of the population.

* Breast Cancer Screening- Breast Cancer Screening could also be classified as an outcome based measure. The purpose of providing this screening is to catch potential problems quickly before they could result in an extremely undesirable outcome.

* Care for Older Adults- This measure would typically be classified as a process. There are many complex components to this concept, and it is a constantly changing strategy. This measurement could also be classified as patient experience because it is designed to meet the needs of the patient. The goal for elderly care is to constantly define better processes that improve care plans and offer more effective healthcare treatment to fit the needs of the patient.

* Controlling High Blood Pressure- Blood pressure control would be a good example of another process measure. The control of blood pressure includes changing components such as reducing stress, improving diet, and managing medication accordingly. Rarely is

this ever an outcome driven measure because the result may be reached until it is altered by another component.

* Annual Dental Visits- Annual Dental visits involve a great deal of luxury preventative care, and could potentially be classified as a patient experience measure. This measure is centered around the patient experience because annual dental visits typically involve searching for cavities and providing a service to a patient that is not always medically necessary. There are few threatening health results that would be an outcome of infrequent dental visits. There is also a structural component to this measure due to the regular occurrence of the annual visit.

 

 

 

 

For each measure, which sources you will consider for data collection.

For each measure, please explain your method of data collection by addressing the what, who, when and How
