1. Child’s World, a chain of toy stores, has relied on a “supermarket concept” of computerized inventory control and customer self-service to eliminate the category of sales clerks from its force of employees. It now plans to employ the same concept in selling children’s clothes. The plan of Child’s World assumes that (A) supermarkets will not also be selling children’s clothes in the same manner (B) personal service by sales personnel is not required for selling children’s clothes successfully (C) the same kind of computers will be used in inventory control for both clothes and toys at Child’s World (D) a self-service plan cannot be employed without computerized inventory control (E) sales clerks are the only employees of Child’s World who could be assigned tasks related to inventory control answer is b...i chose c ....it my fault....sorry... 17. Lists of hospitals have been compiled showing which hospitals have patient death rates exceeding the national average. The data have been adjusted to allow for differences in the ages of patients. Each of the following, if true, provides a good logical ground for hospitals to object to interpreting rank on these lists as one of the indices of the quality of hospital care EXCEPT: (A) Rank order might indicate insignificant differences, rather than large differences, in numbers of patient deaths. (B) Hospitals that keep patients longer are likely to have higher death rates than those that discharge patients earlier but do not record deaths of patients at home after discharge. (C) Patients who are very old on admission to a hospital are less likely than younger patients to survive the same types of illnesses or surgical procedures. (D) Some hospitals serve a larger proportion of low-income patients, who tend to be more seriously ill when admitted to a hospital. (E) For-profit hospitals sometimes do not provide intensive-care units and other expensive services for very sick patients but refer or transfer such patients to other hospitals. thanks!! |
