When preparing and writing the research papers, students must be attentive to the following basic requirements. It is imperative that students read and follow these guidelines to ensure a good grade.
1) A research paper involves both the gathering of information and developing a student’s own interpretation of that information. The student must stay focused on his or her chosen topic and rely upon his or her sources for information about that topic. While a student’s own opinions about a topic are an important part of any research process, the student must be able to support his or her conclusions by direct reference to sources.
2) The writing must be clear, logical, and as free of spelling and grammatical errors as possible. A student should never submit a paper without rereading and proofing it. It may even be necessary to get someone to assist in this process by having him or her read the paper and check for mistakes. The student should not fail to run spell-check on his or her writing.

Would you expect to see an increase or decrease in CO2 emissions in the data over the past 40 years? Why?
1. What is the difference between data, information, and knowledge? In your opinion, when does data become information and information become knowledge? Support your answer with relevant examples. Why is meaningful and correct data analysis—statistics—important in using the volumes of available business data?
Justify your answers with examples and reasoning.
2. Assume you are a marketing analyst working for a manufacturer of ready-to-eat cereal. You are given detailed sales data for the past year and asked to create a report showing the differences between the four sales regions (north, south, east, and west) in terms of sales volume, profitability, and changes in sales volume and profitability; marketing expenditures and changes in marketing expenditures; and per capita sales and marketing expenditures.
What type of data is the sales data you are working on? What specific statistical techniques and charts would you use to depict differences, specifically addressing each of the categories constituting your report? Why?
Justify your answers with examples and reasoning.
3. You are analyzing the cross-store sales of a grocery store chain. As part of your analysis, you compute two measures of central tendency—mean and median. The mean sales are $358.4 million, and the median sales are $163.1 million (per store).
To quantify the average sales per store, which of the two measures would you use and why?
Justify your answers with examples and reasoning
4. 1. You are designing a direct marketing campaign for an online clothing retailer. As part of your design, you quantify the expected response rates by ethnic group. Your definition of the term “ethnicity” follows that of the U.S. Census Bureau (e.g., Hispanic, Asian, African American, etc.). You want to test your campaign using 1,000 randomly selected households, but you want your sample to mimic the U.S. population in terms of the proportion of different ethnicities (e.g., if Hispanics constitute about 12 percent of the U.S. population, 12 percent of your sample should be Hispanic).
Course Textbook
Manuele, F. A. (2008). Advanced safety management focusing on Z10 and serious injury prevention. Hoboken, N.J: John Wiley & Sons.
Question 1
Since risk cannot be reduced to zero, the ALARP concept is often applied. What might be some pitfalls to applying this concept?
Your response must be at least 75 words in length.
Question 2
Review the summary of the ANSI/AIHA Z10 sections in Chapter 1 of the course textbook. From these descriptions, discuss what you think might be roadblocks to implementing the standard in a typical manufacturing organization. Which sections might prove to be the most challenging?
Your response must be at least 75 words in length.
Question 3
The stated primary purpose of Z10 is to reduce the risk of occupational injuries, illnesses, and fatalities. As noted in the course text, zero risk is not likely to be achievable, so acceptable risk levels must be defined. What about a goal of zero injuries? Is that achievable? How does �acceptable� risk affect injury reduction goals? Support your discussion with at least two references.
Your response must be at least 200 words in length.
Question 4
The course textbook states that �Management Leadership and Employee Participation� is the most important section of ANSI/AIHA Z10. Review the descriptions of the other sections of the standard in your textbook, and provide your opinion as to which section might be the second most important. Support your discussion with examples from personal experience and/or additional research.
Your response must be at least 200 words in length.
