...Assignment Week 2 Question 1 1. Baseball stadiums vary in age, style, size, and in many other ways. Fans might think of the size of the stadium in terms of the number of seats; while the player might measure the size of the stadium by the distance from the homeplate to the centerfield fence. Note: CF = distance from homeplate to centerfield fence. Using the Excell add-in construct your scatter diagram with the data set provide below. Seats CF 38805 420 41118 400 56000 400 45030 400 34077 400 40793 400 56144 408 50516 400 40615 400 48190 406 36331 434 43405 405 48911 400 50449 415 50091 400 43772 404 49033 407 47447 405 40120 422 41503 404 40950 435 38496 400 41900 400 42271 404 43647 401 42600 396 46200 400 41222 403 52355 408 45000 408 Is there a relationship between these two measurements for the “size” of the 30 Major League Baseball stadiums? a.

...Course Description and Learning Objectives Every business decision has legal overtones and most business will be involved in some sort of legal action at some point in their progression. The goal of this course is to discuss issues faced by emerging businesses against the background of what the law can and cannot do. As each semester some new scandal or issue makes the press, we will use current events as a springboard for the topics covered in this course, and I invite you to bring your personal experiences into the classroom discussion. Course Requirements and Classroom Approach The class will be run as an interactive lecture. It is absolutely essential that all required readings are completed prior to class. We will have some flexibility (within reason) to tailor this class to real life experiences each of you may encounter or to certain areas that are of particular interest to this class. There is a lot of reading – I strongly recommend you take notes. Attendance is absolutely essential (and is 25% of your grade). We have a lot to cover and a short time to cover it. While the textbook is the primary source, there are supplemental readings and topics that will come up in class, including current events, which may well find their way into an exam. If you cannot attend, it is your obligation to ensure that you borrow someone’s notes so that you do not miss anything. Blackboard, e-mail and Lexis/Nexis Supplemental readings will usually be posted...
