However, the creative nature of viral marketing enables an "endless amount of potential forms and vehicles the messages can utilize for transmission", including mobile devices.[4] The ultimate goal of marketers interested in creating successful viral marketing programs is to create viral messages that appeal to individuals with high social networking potential (SNP) and that have a high probability of being presented and spread by these individuals and their competitors in their communications with others in a short period of time.[5] The...

...Module 16 quiz * Question 1 10 out of 10 points | | | It is a well known fact that talking on a cell phone impairs a driver more than talking to a person sitting in the passenger seat. This is because a passenger can see the road and will stop talking during dangerous driving conditions. We want to know if this is only true for passengers that have experience driving. We recruit 40 participants to be a passenger during a driving simulation and record how many words they say during "dangerous" scenarios. All 20 participants are 18, but only half of them have a driver's license. What statistical test would we use to compare the number or words spoken for people with and without licenses. | | | | | Selected Answer: | Independent samples t test | Answers: | Dependent samples t test | | Independent samples t test | | | | | * Question 2 10 out of 10 points | | | We want to know how having kids affects happiness.

What test would we use to compare their previous scores with their current scores? | | | | | Selected Answer: | Dependent samples | Answers: | Dependent samples | | Independent samples | | | | | * Question 3 10 out of 10 points | | | We are doing a dependent samples t-test and we're in the middle of step 4 of our null hypothesis test.

...The Effect of Learning Styles on Course Performance: A Quantile Regression Analysis Working Paper Series—08-02 | January 2008 Pin Ng, Ph.D. Associate Professor James Pinto, Ph.D. Professor Susan K. Williams, Ph.D. Associate Professor All professors at: Northern Arizona University The W. A. Franke College of Business PO Box 15066 Flagstaff, AZ 86011.5066 The Effect of Learning Styles on Course Performance: A Quantile Regression Analysis Introduction Students have different learning styles. “They preferentially focus on different types of information, tend to operate on perceived information in different ways, and achieve understanding at different rates” (Felder, 1993, p. 286). In this study, we investigated the relationship between student performance and learning styles for students enrolled in a basic business statistics course. This course was recently redesigned in order to facilitate learning for students of all learning styles. A learner-centered approach that incorporated multiple teaching styles such as student responsibility via mastery and co-operative learning that used teams in several course components was adopted. In addition, the focus of the redesigned course was on interpretation and implications of statistical results instead of the mechanics of computation (Lockwood, Ng, & Pinto, 2007). To assess our success in designing a course that facilitates learning for all learning styles, we evaluated the impact of students’ learning style...

Why (a) do you suppose Union Planters purchases investments, rather than simply making loans? Why does it purchase investments that vary in nature both in terms of their maturities and in type (debt versus stock)? 1.

Depending on the situation the bank manager may also feel that they can make more money by investing the excess funds rather than lending the money out. For example right now interest rates are at an all-time low and they may feel like the return on the interest is not enough compared to investing. 3. The bank manager may feel that these investments will mature and be worth more in the future so they may choose to hold long term to create more revenue. (b) How must Union Planters account for its investments in each of the two categories? 1. Trading securities Balance sheet at fair market value a. Gain/Loss reported as part of income 2. Available-for-Sale Balance sheet at fair market value a. Gain/Loss Comprehensive income/ separate from Stockholders equity until realized 3.

Playing along with a quiz show; requesting a product sample during an advert; taking a breakfast news feature with you on your morning commute so you can finish watching; all could be routine. Despite the enablers and technology being in place this seismic shift in the viewing experience stubbornly refuses to mainstream. Why? A number of obstacles stand in the way: • Consumers brought up on a passive, linear TV experience show ingrained lean-back behaviour • The broadcast industry can be risk averse and ambivalent about commissioning multiplatform formats • The sheer range of operating systems across devices...
