a. Please determine whether the sample indicates that the maximum acceptable variance is being exceeded.

b. What is the p value?

2. The grade point averages of 352 students who completed a college course in financial accounting have a standard deviation of .940. The grade point averages of 73 students who dropped out of the same course have a standard deviation of .797.

a. Do the data indicate a difference between the variances of grade point averages for students who completed a financial accounting course and students who dropped out?

b. Use ɑ = .05 level of significance.

c. What is the p value?

Hello, I am looking for someone to write an article on Marketing: Mini-Cooper. It needs to be at least 2000 words. Demand in the United States, especially, has taken off, thanks to a marketing strategy designed to build mystique through stealth advertising and limited distribution”( Maynard)

Mini Cooper has attracted the world not only because of the unique features but because of the innovative marketing strategies as well. The manufacturer BMW has created waves of innovation in marketing and advertising strategies adopted for their car Mini Cooper which captured the attraction of worldwide people. This paper briefly analyses the features of Mini cooper and the marketing strategies adopted by BMW for marketing their product mini cooper in the international market.

“From the toggle switches for the windows and fog lights to the rocker buttons for the fan-speed controls, every switch and dial in the Mini feels of a piece with Mini and only the Mini. In truth, some of the components are gently massaged BMW parts, but thats not really obvious. And besides, BMW is a prestigious brand, so it’s not as if you’re getting second hand Daewoo stuff in your Mini”( Frank). Mini Cooper is not only attractive in appearance, but it is filled with a lot of useful features that other cars of the same type may not possess. Its hatch layout is well designed, with a low well for groceries and with seat uprights that flip forward 50/50. Mini Cooper excels in safety features also compared to its competitors. It has defeated its competitors in most of the road tests and also excelled in the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration crash tests. Moreover, it comes with six airbags (front, side, headliner), while its competitors only have standard front airbags. For an additional $500, people can purchase a Mini Cooper with stability control that will help keep the car on track in an emergency situation.

‘A marvelous marriage of British character and German know-how, the 2009 Mini Cooper is stylish, fun to drive and remarkably good on gas. Stellar fuel economy, sharp handling, excellent all-around&nbsp.performance in S and John Cooper Works trims, endearing retro styling, etc are the major features of the 2009 model of Mini Cooper’ (2009 MINI Cooper Review).

These researchers lobby for the consideration of cultural/interpersonal/social factors, which they believe is a key variable in understanding the etiology of mental disorders. Key to this school of thought, the social/cultural/interpersonal perspective, is the distinction between disease and illness. The disease is defined as an abnormality in the structure or functioning of body systems and organs whereas illness is defined as an experience of discontinuity in an individual’s state of being, and or in their perceived role performances (Eisenberg, 1977).

Proponents of this model theorize that psychopathology disorders have social significance and personal meaning only within the confines of a specific cultural context. As such, the term “mental illness” has ethnocentric connotations, which mental health practitioners should seek to understand, as it influences their insight on etiology, manifestation, and treatment of psychopathology disorders (Marsella, 1982). Of significance to this paper is this model’s description of the etiology of psychopathology disorders.

Understanding any concept mandates a review of its historical background. In this case, it is pertinent to review the theoretical frameworks antecedent to theories that emphasize the importance of understanding psychopathology disorders from a multi-cultural perspective. Initially, the absolutions position dominated mental health practitioners’ conceptualization of the etiology of mental disorders (Sam & Moreira, 2002). Theorists aligned with this position supported the bio-medical model, which presumed that a psychic unity existed.

According to them, an absolute truth explained human existence whereby it was possible to understand human experiences despite cultural diversity. In sum, these theorists believed in the synonymy of human experiences, which in turn predisposed them to negate the role of culture in influencing the semantics or manifestation of human behaviors. Therefore, it was common for them to use standardized instruments when diagnosing or treating psychopathological disorders (Sam & Moreira, 2002).

Despite the existence of rich sexual symbols in the ancient religions and cultures, there were also cultures that punished people for committing sexual acts and talking about sexuality as they considered it as taboo.&nbsp.Ancient Western societies had almost depicted sexuality as a taboo wherein it was considered to corrupt the very nature of human beings turning them into a bestial state. As a cure, rituals must be performed to clean-up the existence of sexuality (Nye, 1999, p. 2). Some of the rituals were performed during menarche as those girls were secluded under the supervision of the older women to teach the younger ones about the sexual norms in their society.

In other societies, women were not allowed to have sexual intercourse during their menstruation. Other rituals on sexuality involve childbirth as men were excluded during the child delivery while other societies force the husband to imitate the childbirth at the same time his wife does it. Also, circumcision is a sexual ritual for cleansing and proven to bring good hygiene for people backed by scientific studies (Siann, 1994, p. 120). In particular, Christianity had not tolerated the issue of sexuality as sex is only done within the concept of marriage and for procreation (Goss and Strongheart, 1997, p. 7). Perhaps the Christian church does not tolerate sex outside marriage as it may lead to more severe moral, personal, and societal problems like broken families, vices, and abuses.

The struggle in the issue of human sexuality had existed in the twentieth century as people thought that it is an unimportant topic for formal studies in the field of social sciences.&nbsp.
