John worked for Acme as a senior analyst. He suffered a heart attack and took medical leave from his job. Prior to the heart attack, his supervisor opened a locked drawer in his work desk and found prescription drugs that were not prescribed to John. The supervisor thought that John had been acting a bit strangely, but decided that he would confront him about it later. The supervisor did not confront John before the heart attack.

After six months, John returned to work on a part-time basis. John worked reduced hours for the next year. Acme was forced to reduce its workforce to cut costs. Acme conducted a performance appraisal of all managerial employees and discharged those with the lowest performance ratings. John, because of his part-time status, had one of the lowest performance ratings. The company did not look at performance pro-rata based on hours worked. John sued and alleged that he was wrongfully terminated in violation of the ADA. John alleged that his termination was a result of his disability.

Your task is to analyze, identify and discuss the major components of the American Disability Act ADA of 1990 as it applies to the above case study. You may use the Internet and the library database for your search. Identify and analyze the potential claims and defenses with in the case and determine if there were any violations with respect to the ADA Act of 1990. Utilize the content in the ADA Act to support your responses and conclusions.

DELIVERABLE

You will prepare a 1000 to 1500 word paper both explaining and highlighting the specifics of the ADA Act of 1990 and how it relates to the case. Please identify which laws if any were broken. Please include a minimum of three references with your paper.

hypothesis testing  by writing a paper that addresses the following:

  • Provide an example of a hypothesis where a one-tailed hypothesis test would be used.
  • Provide an example of a hypothesis where a two-tailed hypothesis test would be used.
  • If a researcher has set alpha at 0.05 for a two-tailed hypothesis test, what is the p-value required to reject the null hypothesis?
  • A researcher has set alpha at 0.05. When the researcher analyzes the  data from the experiment using a software program, she obtains a p-value equal to 0.932. Based on this p-value, should the researcher reject the null hypothesis or fail to reject the null hypothesis? Please explain your answer.
  • A researcher has set alpha at 0.01. When the researcher analyzes the  data from the experiment using a software program, he obtains a p-value equal to 0.04. Based on this p-value, should the researcher reject the null hypothesis or fail to reject the null hypothesis? Please explain your answer.
  • A researcher is interested in whether music played during an exam  will improve exam performance. Students in one class listen to music  during an exam and students in another class take the exam in silence.  The researcher set alpha at 0.05. Test scores for both classes are  compared using a statistical software program. The mean test score for  the class that listened to music during the exam is 95, while the mean  test score for the class that took the exam in silence is 82. The  obtained p-value from the independent groups t-test is 0.02. Be sure to answer the following questions:
    • State the null and alternative hypothesis.
    • Determine if this is a directional or non-directional test. Please explain your answer.
    • Establish the conclusion of this study based on the p-value and the means provided.
    • Describe the Type I error for this study.
    • Describe the Type II error for this study.

Length:1-2 pages

Your paper should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the ideas  and concepts presented in the course by providing new thoughts and  insights relating directly to this topic. Your response should reflect  scholarly writing and current APA standards.

Review Chapter 10 of your course text, Social Psychology, focusing on attachments in childhood and adulthood. Also focus on the factors involved in attraction, romantic love, relationship satisfaction, and romantic breakups.

  • Review Chapter 10 of your course text, Social Psychology, focusing on attachments in childhood and adulthood. Also focus on the factors involved in attraction, romantic love, relationship satisfaction, and romantic breakups.
  • Review at least two of the journal articles in this week’s Learning Resources to explore aspects of attraction and romantic relationships in different cultures. (You do not have to read all of the articles.) Think about how people in a different culture might view and behave in relationships. Notice the similarities and differences between that culture and your own.

The Assignment (2–4 pages):

In a 2- to 4-page paper, analyze a personal relationship you have or have had (or a relationship of someone you know well). This relationship may be a romantic relationship or a friendship. Address the following:

  • Briefly identify the type of relationship you are using as your example and describe each person’s attachment style.
  • Select at least four concepts or theories from your readings that describe in more depth the relationship and/or how this relationship developed, was maintained, or ended.  Analyze how these four concepts or theories relate to the relationship you have chosen to assess.
  • Finally, select a culture presented in one of the articles listed and consider how that cultural context could impact your relationship. If one or both of the individuals in your relationship was from this other culture, would your four selected concepts or theories still apply in the same way? If not, what would differ? Would another concept or theory be more applicable, and why? Use information from, and cite, your selected article.
