OpenTable was the first mover in the world of booking orders for restaurants around the globe (www.vox.com ). After obtaining notoriety, they issued a massive IPO (www.reuters.com and https://press.opentable.com/news-releases/news-rel... ) resulting in a stock price peaking slightly over $100/share. After peaking, the company was by Priceline for $2.6 billion (www.wsj.com ). However, the investment faced turmoil as lawsuits and a $941 million write-down devalued the acquisition ( https://archive.findlaw.com/blog/ibm-sues-pricelin... and https://wp.me/p4287S-Rtl ). The devaluation triggered a reconsideration of OpenTable’s role in the market. OpenTable matured and no longer had a blue ocean strategy (https://www.launch-marketing.com/?p=6568 ) to rely on. Therefore, Priceline retooled and rolled back OpenTable’s operations while entering the emerging ultra-competitive food delivery service market involving Doordash and other competitors. However, no one is certain whether OpenTable has a future and history has yet to judge whether Priceline’s investment was a sound or poor investment. Now, it is time for you to write history! Goal. Your goal is to determine and argue whether OpenTable was a sound acquisition for Priceline using the concepts from this and other courses. Jumpstart your research at: https://www.businessinsider.com/opentable-explaine... http://press.opentable.com/ and Chapter 9, Case Study 9.9 in the textbook. Also, follow with internet-based research to collect the evidence you need to determine whether the merger was a sound acquisition. Moreover, you must integrate at least three concepts, from this course, into your argument. The resulting paper must be a 5-7 page APA-formatted essay argumentative essay citing evidence supporting your determination. Remember, you have a helpful resource at https://courses.lumenlearning.com/suny-englishcomp... to help with planning and drafting your essay. You may also wish to consult https://courses.lumenlearning.com/suny-information... for advice on researching and organizing findings.

The purpose of the quality-control division is to make reasonably certain that the products manufactured are up to company standards. Write a brief essay in which you describe how the statistics you have learned so far could be applied to an industrial application (such as control charts and the Antlers Lodge example). 500 words
When the results of a survey or a poll are published, the sample size is usually given, as well as the margin of error. For example, suppose the Honolulu Star Bulletin reported that it surveyed 385 Honolulu residents and 78 ? % said they favor mandatory jail sentences for people convicted of driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol (with margin of error of 3 percentage points in either direction). Usually the confidence level of the interval is not given, but it is standard practice to use the margin of error for a 95 ? % confidence interval when no other confidence level is given. The paper reported a point estimate of 78 ? % , with margin of error of ± 3 ? % . Write this information in the form of a confidence interval for p, the population proportion of residents favoring mandatory jail sentences for people convicted of driving under the influence. What is the assumed confidence level? The margin of error is simply the error due to using a sample instead of the entire population. It does not take into account the bias that might be introduced by the wording of the question, by the truthfulness of the respondents, or by other factors. Suppose the question was asked in this fashion: “Considering the devastating injuries suffered by innocent victims in auto accidents caused by drunken or drugged drivers, do you favor a mandatory jail sentence for those convicted of driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol?” Do you think the wording of the question would influence the respondents? Do you think the population proportion of those favoring mandatory jail sentences would be accurately represented by a confidence interval based on responses to such a question? Explain your answer
