You will submit your Product (or Service) Overview section of your Market Research Proposal. This is your opportunity to get feedback from your Instructor to ensure you are on the right track. You should submit a complete first draft of your Product (or Service) Overview that should be edited and include the following, at minimum:

Target market segment definition including demographic, geographic, psychographic, and behavioral variables. The more important behavioral variables pertain to usage: frequency, quantity, social aspects, etc.
Importance/relevance of the brand. How important is this brand to the target segment user? Are any other brands relevant, or does your brand hold a strong and unique competitive position? Explain your reasoning and support with desk (secondary) research resources.
A description and analysis of current product (or service) uses. For example, what is its primary use? Can you identify other uses?
An analysis of current consumer needs and motivations for your product and brand. For example, meeting the need for clean hair is provided by many shampoo brands, but many consumers select one brand over another based upon a specific set of motivations.
An analysis of marketplace trends including overall demand, competitors, and economic considerations.
Note: After you get your feedback from your Instructor, along with the rubric assessment, you will further refine this section for final submission of your complete Market Research Proposal on Day 3 of Week 8.

Policy Analysis
In the Sample Aircraft Insurance Policy, at the cover page, assume that you purchased the following
limits:
Coverage A: $1 million per occurrence, $100,000 per passenger
Coverage B: $200,000
And:
The pilot endorsement includes:
You, by name, and any other pilot holding a currently valid FAA Commercial Pilot Certificate with
Second Class Medical Certificate and having logged at least 500 hours as pilot in command in
the same category and class as the non-owned aircraft.
You are operating a rented aircraft with one passenger on board, attempting to land in a strong and gusty
crosswind, when you lose control. The aircraft departs the runway, the nose wheel strikes a runway light,
and the aircraft flips over.
Based on the Sample Non-Owned Aircraft policy, will the insurance company pay, (and if so, how
much) for each of the following losses? Cite the policy paragraph(s) relied on for each answer.
(Treat each numbered question as a separate question, rather than a continuation of or follow-on to the
previous question(s).)
Post your answers in the appropriate thread on the Discussion Board forum titled 4.3 Policy Analysis.
1. The aircraft is damaged beyond economical repair (it would cost $120,000 to repair the
damages, but an identical replacement aircraft can be purchased for $105,000).
2. Your passenger, a friend who was along for this recreational flight, is injured, and incurs
$20,000 in medical expenses as a result.
3. You are injured, and incur $18,000 in medical expenses as a result, and:
a. this was a recreational flight.
b. this was a flight made to visit a customer as a part of your employment.
4. Your passenger, a co-worker who was along on this business flight for your mutual
employer, was injured and incurred $20,000 in medical expenses as a result.
5. You and your passenger each had an $1,800 laptop computer in the baggage compartment,
and each was destroyed in the crash.6. Elk hunting season opens Monday and the purpose of the flight was to spot herds of elk
from the air to help you select your hunting area. How would this affect the insurance
company’s liability for:
a. damage to the aircraft?
b. passenger injuries?
7. Your intended destination was the border town of Douglas, Arizona, but the wind had kicked
up a lot of blowing dust, causing you to mistake the close-by airport in Agua Prieta, Mexico
for the Douglas Airport. You landed there, where the accident occurred. How will this affect
the insurance company’s liability for:
a. damage to the aircraft?
b. passenger injuries?
8. At the time of the accident, your FAA Medical Certificate had expired. How would this affect
the insurance company’s liability for:
a. damage to the aircraft?
b. passenger injuries?

 

Answer the following questions:

(1) Before you run the regression, what are your expectations regarding the signs of the coefficients for the following variables? Also explain briefly why.
a) CHARLES
b) PTRATIO
c) NOX

(2) Calculate the summary (descriptive) statistics for the variables in the model and paste below.
(3) Calculate and report the correlation between the independent variables
(4) Comment briefly on whether the calculated correlation of LSTAT with each of these variables makes logical sense or not, and why: CRIME, INDUS, CHARLES, NOX, ROOMS, AGE
(5) Perform the regression and report your results
(6) What is the R-squared for the model, and what does it imply?
(7) Comment on the coefficient signs, magnitude and statistical significance for the following variables: INDUS, CHARLES, NOX and LSTAT.
(8) Calculate the elasticity of NOX at the sample mean values and report. What is the implication of this elasticity?
(9) If you had to plan this study, what other variables would you collect data on and include in your model?
(10) What other functional forms would you try, and why?
(11) Why not just do a simple correlation between PRICE and NOX? Why do we need to run a regression?

Classical Text # 10 Environment
Rachel Carson “Silent Spring” (1962)

1. Carson begins Silent Spring with a chapter titled “A Fable for Tomorrow” which tells the story of “a town in the heart of America

where all life seemed to live in harmony with its surroundings.” What happens to the town? What is Carson’s point?

2. Carson argues since the 1940s, humans have started using chemicals to kill insects, weeds, and rodents, calling them “pesticides”

and “insecticides.” Why does she argue that these chemicals should rather be called “biocides”?

3. What are the harmful effects of DDT and why are they difficult to prevent?

4. In addition to DDT, Carson argues that the use of chemicals generally threatens nature’s ecosystems, including human’s own

internal ecosystems. What chemical-caused threats to our health does Carson describe?

5. What is Carson’s alternative to the use of chemicals?
