3. Problem of the Week A local school wants to know more about the knowledge of students regarding worldwide events. The administration is concerned that their students are uninformed in regards to new from other countries. A sample of 30 students are tested (sample mean=58, Standard Error=3.2). Compute a 98 percent confidence interval based on this sample's data. See Page ___ for answer

4. Editorials Dear Editor of Gentlemen’s Club: I’m going to be in a huge rush tomorrow in order to get into the city for my job interview. This is kind of a big deal for me as I’m just out of college and looking for a good job. You know, I’ve always wanted to work on Wall Street, but sadly that’s not what I’m interviewing for. My mom set me up for a job at this place called Arby’s or something… Apparently they have a really funny mascot! Anyway, I’m really nervous for this; it’s a big step in my life! Do you have any tips on what to say? Now, here’s the real problem. Obviously I don’t want to be late, so I’ve been looking up estimated traffic reports for tomorrow. The mean travel time to the city that I’ve calculated over my 100 trips is 45 minutes with a standard deviation of 10 minutes. Can I be 90% confident that I will make it to my interview in 40 minutes? Also, if it rains and I have to drive slower, what kind of variable is that? From, Scott Tugo Dear Scott Tugo, Don’t worry Scott, you’re going to make it on time. Don’t sweat it! I remember my first job interview. It was at the headquarters of McDonalds. I was asked to explain how many basketballs could fit in the room in 15 seconds. I, being the nervous youngster that I was, yelled “A MILLION!” That apparently wasn’t the right answer, but I got the job anyway because, let’s face it, it was McDonalds. If I have any tips for you, it would be to take a few deep breaths, dress for success with a nice shirt and tie, look confident, shake hands with vigor, and look like you’re ready to go. Also, don’t freak out and yell at them like I did. In the real world that is not McDonalds, that’s probably the best advice I can give you. As far as getting to your interview on time, here is what I’ve come up with. All you have to do is leave with plenty of time that way you are early regardless of how long it takes you to get there. However, in the event that you have to leave as last minute as possible I’ve calculated a confidence interval for your trip time. Based on my calculations using a t-interval test I’ve determined that the interval of travel time is (43.016, 46.984) at the 90% level. Therefore, I am not confident at the 90% confidence level that you will make the trip in 40 minutes. Here’s a quick tip: leave 15 minutes earlier than you would if you wanted to make a 40 minute trip. That’s the easiest fix I can suggest! Hope this helps! The Editor

5. Editorials Dear Editor,  My company “Pease and Carrots” wants to know more about the probability of a new store succeeding in Summit, N.J. We are concerned that this town will not appreciate the unique style of cooking we sell in our restaurants. Gentlemen’s club editor can you please help me determine how potentially successful this restaurant will be in Summit with a high degree of confidence? Hopefully your response will help us determine whether or not to set up the new restaurant that uses only Pease and Carrots. Thank you, Sincerely, Mr. Pease and Carrots Dear Mr. Pease and Carrots, A standardized test is used to assess the town’s appreciation of Pease and Carrot affiliated foods (national reported mean=65, S=5). A sample of 30 hill toppers is tested (sample mean=58, Standard Error=3.2). Compute a 99 percent confidence interval based on this sample's data. How do these students compare to the national sample? (grade out of 100-the best food ever tasted) t=2.756 Confidence Interval at the 99 percent: 49.2 < population mean < 66.8 While the data for these students are low in relation to the national scores, the constructed interval does include the national mean. Therefore, the town may be on par with other cities. The town may wish to replicate their survey to further validate their results. You decide if that is a significant enough response to open up a store. From, The Editor

7. A Drink…With Hugh Hefner SCOTT: Now I want to welcome my special guest for this evening, Hugh Hefner. Hugh, do I call you Hugh? Hef? What do you like to be called? HEFNER: Hef. Hef. SCOTT: Hef. Hef. What do you make of what's going on in the world right now? You've been through so many things, the Cold War, the Vietnam War, the end of the Russian revolution. What do you make of what we're seeing now? HEFNER: Very exciting. And I think quite unexpected. I think it's a modern and very different kind of revolution in which Twittering seems to play a major role because - SCOTT: And you Tweet, of course? HEFNER: I do. When I was in high school, I was a jitterbug, now I'm a Twitterbug. SCOTT: But it's fascinating to see so many of these young people in the Middle East taking on these old dictators and bringing them down through sheer force of, we want change, isn't it? HEFNER: Well, it is the purest form of democracy. In other words, to be able to be heard everywhere around the world is wonderful. Very exciting times. SCOTT: You've always campaigned for equality and freedom, you always stood for those -- liberation, in many ways. Do you see sort of a real sea change going on here? Do you think it's the end of these old kind of dictatorial ruling families around the world who are fleecing their own people? HEFNER: I think it will be -- you know, I don't think there's a simple answer to that. It depends on the individual country and you know some dictators will go willingly, and some, there will be violence and bloodshed. But, you know, the exciting part is that people are being heard for the first time. SCOTT: What do you make of the state of America right now? Obviously been through a terrible recession. I'm sure that your business, like everybody's, got hit by that. What's the answer for America, do you think? HEFNER: Well, I think we need to get back to fundamentals in terms of -- you know, both conceptually and economically. I think we need to get -- remember where we were to begin with and get back to basics. SCOTT: What are the fundamentals of America, Incorporated, if you were running it like a business? What's back to basics? HEFNER: Well, one of the things I would be thinking about -- I mean what's happened, of course, is that we've outsourced half of our businesses, and national boundaries don't have a lot of meaning anymore. I mean, we live in one very small global village. And we need to learn to live in that context. And I think we need to -- we need some learning. I mean, I think America has been the -- you know, dominant force in the world for a very long time and squandered some of that opportunity. SCOTT: I had Donald Trump on the show recently, I'm sure you know of old, and he was very scathing about China, saying they're the enemy, that America must have nothing to do with them, that we should be putting restrictive trade stuff on them and so on. What do you think? HEFNER: There's no future in that. I think, again, it gets back to the fact that I do think we live on one very small planet. And you know, I also think that the changes lead us increasingly towards -- globally towards democracy and freedom, and that's the exciting part. SCOTT: Which is obviously what America has always stood for, but China in particular, seems to me, you can make an enemy of them, but you're not going to win that war. I mean China's economy is expanding so fast that so will their military. That they ought to be, I would argue, more of a friend to America. HEFNER: And they traditionally were. I mean when I was growing up, you know, during World War II, I served during World War II. You know the Japanese were the enemy and China was our friend. Making the distinction between China and Japan was very important back then. Well, again, you get back to the same basics, which is, you know, we live on one small planet. Most of our interests as people are essentially the same. We need to look for those common connections. SCOTT: "Playboy" sells around the world, doesn't it?

8. HEFNER: Yes. SCOTT: Do you have any sales in places like China at the moment or not? HEFNER: We are one of the most famous brand in China. SCOTT: Really? HEFNER: On the mainland of China where the magazine is not yet permitted, we are one of the most famous menswear brands. There are over 200 stores, Playboy stores SCOTT: So you sell the merchandise, but you can't sell the magazine? HEFNER: That's correct. And at the same time, we just opened a casino, Playboy Club Casino in Macau. SCOTT: Really? HEFNER: Yes. SCOTT: When I was in Shanghai recently, I found that the barriers are definitely coming down there. It's getting much more liberal, I would say, as the young people, through the Internet, have found out what's available in the rest of the world, they want some of this. It can't be long before "Playboy" is allowed to be on sale? HEFNER: Yes. Yes. That's what you get with democracy. When Russia came apart, when the Soviet Union came apart, the first American magazine that all of the iron curtain countries wanted was "Playboy." It wasn't just the pretty ladies, it was the stuff. You know, the cars, the wheels, the fashions, you know, the lifestyle. SCOTT: Yes, your original concept was always lifestyle, not just the face. HEFNER: Yes. Exactly. SCOTT: And you put the two together, and you have the ultimate businessman's magazine. Which countries do you think you'll never get into with "Playboy"? Or do you think - HEFNER: I don't know, but I suppose some of the Muslims will be the last, I suppose. But I think because of the open communication around the world now, desires and yearnings are the same everywhere. So I think that, you know, that repression will give way in time. SCOTT: We've got 10 percent jobless in America right now. How do you get America back to work? What's the fast way that Obama can try and sort this? HEFNER: Man, you're asking the wrong guy in terms of that. I think that -- I do think -- that I think -- you know I've been a big fan initially of Obama, but I think he missed the point in the very beginning, because jobs is what it's really all about. In other words, the other considerations, health care and all the rest, it was all very worthwhile, but we need to put people back to work. You need to get the economy working. SCOTT: Do you think America needs to go back and build things again? Do you think it's forgotten what it did so magnificently 40, 50 years ago? HEFNER: Well, not only do we need to put people to work, we need to become more sophisticated in terms of technology. We need to take a look at what happened to our educational system. SCOTT: Speaking of the education system did you ever take a Statistics class? HEFNER: No, I unfortunately did not, but I wish I did. Statistics is just so helpful with business and politics and almost everything in daily life. SCOTT: I agree. Thank you for your time Hugh. www.cnn.com

11. The Tornado of ‘67 In a matter of moments, 33 people were killed and several hundred injured while shopping for groceries, roller skating or sitting in Friday evening rush-hour traffic at the busy intersection of 95th Street and Southwest Highway. "It just blasted people out of the way," said Maureen Gilligan, the Oak Lawn Public Library's local history coordinator. "Anyone of a certain age has a story about it." Ask anyone in their mid-40s or older where they were and if they lived in Oak Lawn at the time and a story will emerge about the Chicago area's deadliest tornado. Many of the memories will be on display Saturday when the library formally opens its local history room at 11 a.m. with an exhibit of photos, letters, maps and other items from the tornado. Residents can share their tornado stories during an open microphone session at 2 p.m. Sunday. The twister came from the southwest, touching down briefly in Palos Hills before landing on the Starlite Drive-In Theater at 6400 W. 95th St. The fast-moving funnel churned its way across the southwest suburbs and Chicago neighborhoods before spinning out to Lake Michigan 16 minutes later, Gilligan said. In its path were the Fairway Supermarket, Oak Lawn Community High School, St. Gerald's Parish School and Rectory, the Oak Lawn Roller Rink, Airway Trailer Park and hundreds of other businesses and homes. At 95th Street and Southwest Highway, motorists had no way to escape the storm's fury as they sat at the light. Cars were picked up and hurled hundreds of feet, some landing on the north side of the high school hundreds of yards away, Gilligan said. At the supermarket, the front windows blew in and the roof collapsed, crushing several people inside. If not for a well-timed phone call, Kasper would have been in the store when it was hit. He was 26 and working at Greager Kasper Florist and Gifts, 55th Court and Southwest Highway. He had decided to dash to Fairway Supermarket for cigarettes and was pulling out of the lot when his business partner ran out and told him he had a phone call. Kasper stopped to take the call, and minutes later the sky darkened and all hell broke loose. He huddled under an old gift wrapping table as the storm raged. A piece of wood pierced a glass pane in one of the greenhouses. The force shattered all the other panes, sending a shower of glass to the ground. The winds picked up structures and slammed them back down. Somehow they stayed intact. From under the table he watched cars, roofs, garages and even people getting tossed around. "It was horrible," he said. No one at the florist shop or his home was injured, although the business suffered heavy damage. "We were picking up glass for about a year in the weirdest places," he said. He's still amazed at the fortunate timing that kept him out of the market. "I would have been in that store," he said. George "Len" Pearson had picked up his wife from her job at a dry cleaner's in Beverly when a radio announcer called for assistance in the Oak Lawn area. They especially needed people with station wagons, the announcer said, and Pearson raced home to Oak Lawn, dropped off his wife and went to help. "I remember about every moment of that entire weekend," Pearson said. For hours, he directed traffic on 95th Street near the A&P and the VFW post. He finally went home in the middle of the night, but soon returned to the streets in hopes of finding a missing friend. He and a priest went to the VFW, where a temporary morgue was set up. "One by one we picked up the sheets covering the victims. There were one or two kids," he said. "You're talking to an old sailor here. ... I took these things in stride, but it shook me up." His friend was found wandering the streets dazed and with a broken arm. When the storm hit, he had found shelter in the walk-in cooler of the Dairy Basket grocery store, next to the roller rink at Cicero Avenue and 91st Street, where three teenagers were killed and several others seriously injured. It is the children Sister Joseph Casey particularly remembers from that night and the following days. Casey was heading back from a meeting in Chicago late that afternoon and did not realize there had been a tornado. When she found out, she and another nun rushed back to Little Company of Mary Hospital in Evergreen Park. Casey said she went to the emergency room first, but when she saw that many victims were children, she hurried to the pediatric wing to help. "There were children with broken hips and legs and ground glass in their bodies. It was unbelievably tragic," she said.
