Theranos has been subject of many recent news articles and investigative reports. Please read below a little bit about the company and “google” additional information and answer the questions below. Please post your answer and respond to another student’s post. Please have your post consist of 400 minimum words.
Theranos, aiming to stave off a bankruptcy, has reportedly laid off most of what is left of its employees as it tries to preserve cash.
The Wall Street Journal , citing people familiar with the matter, reported that with the workforce reductions, the company’s headcount went from roughly 125 employees to around two dozen or even less. The move comes as CEO Elizabeth Holmes agreed to settle with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) over “massive fraud” charges lodged against the company.
In mid-March, the SEC announced that it had charged Theranos, the Silicon Valley blood-testing technology company, as well as Holmes and the company’s former president, Ramesh “Sunny” Balwani, with providing false information to raise more than $700 million from investors.
In a press release, the SEC said the company and its top executives engaged in years-long fraud in which they exaggerated or made false statements about the business’ technology and financial performance. As part of a settlement, Holmes agreed to pay a penalty and to give up majority voting control over the company, as well as to reduce her equity – which, combined with shares she previously returned, will lower her equity stake by a material amount.
According to the SEC, the complaints contend that the company, Holmes and Balwani made several false and misleading statements at investor conferences, product demos and in media interviews, tricking investors into thinking its portable blood analyzer, the company’s key product, could conduct a comprehensive analysis of blood just from the drops collected from a user’s finger — a claim that if true, would revolutionize the blood-testing industry.
However, the reality, according to the SEC, was that the company’s blood analyzer technology could only do a small number of tests. What’s more, the SEC contends that Theranos conducted most of its patient tests with modified and industry-standard commercial analyzers that weren’t made by the company.
The executives also falsely claimed that the U.S. Department of Defense used its product on the battlefields of Afghanistan and on MEDEVAC helicopters, and that the company collected $100 million in revenue in 2014. The product was actually never used by the Department of Defense, and revenue was only a little more than $100,000 in 2014.
Who started Theranos and what did she promise to deliver to the public? Tell me a little bit about her, as well.
What did she and other leaders do wrong in operating the company?
How has her actions affected the company and other start up companies?
What safeguards, if any, should have the company’s leadership taken to prevent the wrongdoing? Direct your answer to ethical considerations and safeguards.

Scenario:
Your company is the largest private employer in your metropolitan area, and the 43,500
employees in your workforce have a tremendous impact on local traffic. A group of city and
county transportation officials recently approached your CEO with a request to explore
ways to reduce this impact. The CEO, Ms. Suarez, has assigned you the task of analyzing
the workforce’s transportation habits and attitudes as a first step towards identifying
potential solutions. She is willing to consider anything from subsidized bus passes to
company -owned shuttle buses to telecommuting, but the decision requires a thorough
understanding of employee transportation needs. Figures 1 – 4 summarize data you have
collected in an employee survey.
Figure 1: Employee Carpool Habits
Frequency of Use: Carpooling Portion of Workforce
Every day, every week 10,138 (23%)
Certain days, every week 4,361 (11%)
Randomly 983 (2%)
Never 28,018 (64%)
Figure 2: Use of Public Transportation
Frequency of Use: Public Transportation Portion of Workforce
Every day, every week 23,556 (54%)
Certain days, every week 2,029 (5%)
Randomly 5,862 (13%)
Never 12,053 (28%)
Figure 3: Effect of Potential Improvements to Public Transportation
Which of the following would you encourage you to use public transportation more
frequently? (Check all that apply) Portion of Respondents . Employees can check more than one.
Increased perceptions of safety 4,932 (28%)
Improved cleanliness 852 (5%)
Reduced commute times 7,285 (41%)
Greater convenience: fewer transfers 3,278 (18%)
Greater convenience: more stops 1,155 (6%)
Lower (or subsidized) fares 5,634 (31%)
Nothing could encourage me to take public transportation 8,294 (46%)
Note: This question was asked to those respondents who use public transportation randomly
or never, a subgroup that represents 17,915 employees or 41% of the workforce.
Figure 4: Is Telecommuting An Option?
Does the nature of your work make telecommuting a realistic option? Portion of
Workforce
Yes, every day 3,460 (8%)
Yes, several days a week 8,521 (20%)

No 18,601 (42%)
Task:
Write a recommendation memo report to your supervisor, Ms. Suarez illustrating the data
you have collected and recommending two ways to solve this problem.
This is a short report; therefore, your report will not include a title page, a table of
contents, or appendices. The visualized data must be within the text (body) of the report;
do not place the data at the end of the report.
Organizational Guidelines:
TO: Ms. Suarez, CEO
FROM: Insert Your Name
DATE: Month Day, Year
SUBJECT: Workforce Transportation Habits Begin your report memo with a brief introductory statement outlining the background,
problem/opportunity/purpose, scope, and organization of the report. Refer to your text for
assistance.
In the body of your report, you are required to illustrate each set of data with figures.
Keep in mind this portion of the report requires an appropriate heading, and each of the
four figures requires a reference statement, a caption, and if applicable, a legend. Do not
place the data in a bulleted/numbered list or in a table.
For example:
APPROPRIATE SECTION HEADING
Precede the graph with a reference statement explaining what the graph illustrates. For
example, Figure 1 illustrates the employees’ carpool habits.
Figure 1: Employees’ Carpool Habits
Create the figure. Determine which figure best illustrates the data. Should you use a pie
chart, a bar chart or a line chart? Once you have decided which chart to use, review your
text for format requirements. How large should the chart be? Should the data be an
ascending or descending order? Where should you place the labels? Does the chart require a
legend? Is the visual clear, complete, concise, connected, and compelling (see textbook for
guidelines)?
Note: If you are not familiar with how to create chart using MSWord or importing them from
Excel and embedding them into MSWord, you should consult the Help function in MSWord
or you may also find it useful to review the following webpages:
Immediately following the chart, explain the significance of the data. This is referred to as
the illustration’s caption.
For example, As you can see from Figure 1,….
After all four chart are completed, offer two possible solutions to the problem. Each
solution should be logically derived from the data and each must be adequately explained.
This section of the report also requires an appropriate heading. There should only be two
solutions for the entire report.
For example:
APPROPRIATE SECTION HEADING
Introduce this section of the report with a paragraph previewing your recommendations.
Solution 1: XXX
Explain your solution and why it is a logical option.
Solution 2: XXX
Explain your solution and why it is a logical option.Close your report with a summary of the key points as they appeared in the report body. Do
not introduce new facts into your closing paragraph. End by inviting Ms. Suarez to contact
you to discuss the report’s recommendations.

You have been hired by the National Nutrition Council to study nutrition practices in the United States. In particular they want to know if their nutrition guidelines are being met by people in the United States. These guidelines indicate that per capita consumption of fruits and vegetables should be more than 170 pounds per year, per capita consumption of snack foods should be less than 114 pounds, per capita consumption of soft drinks should be less than 65 gallons, and per capita consumption of meat should be more than 70 pounds. As part of your research you have developed the data file Food Nutrition Atlas, which contains a number of nutrition and population variables collected by county over all states. Variable descriptions are located in the chapter appendix. It is true that some counties do not report all the variables. Perform an analysis of the available data and prepare a short report indicating how well the nutrition guidelines are being met. Your conclusions should be supported by rigorous statistical analysis.

Joe Ortega is the product manager for Ole ice cream. You have been asked to determine if Ole ice cream has greater sales than Carl’s ice cream, which is a strong competitor. The data file Ole contains weekly sales and price data for the competing brands over the year in three different supermarket chains. These sample data represent a random sample of all ice cream sales for the two brands. The variable names clearly identify the variables.
a. Design and implement an analysis to determine if there is strong evidence to conclude that Ole ice cream has higher mean sales than Carl’s ice cream (α = 0.05). Explain your procedure and show all computations. You may include Minitab output if appropriate to support your analysis. Explain your conclusions.
b. Design and implement an analysis to determine if the prices charged for the two brands are different (α = 0.05). Carefully explain your analysis, show all computations, and interpret your results.

Previous research has suggested that immigrants in the United States have a stronger interest in good diet compared to the rest of the population. If true, this behavior could result from a desire for overall life improvement, historical experience from their previous country, or some other complex rationale. You have been asked to determine if immigrants (variable immigrant = 1) have healthier diets compared to nonimmigrants ( = 0). Perform an appropriate statistical test to determine if there is strong evidence to conclude that immigrants have better diets compared to natives.
You will do the analysis based first on the data from the first interview, create subsets of the data file using daycode = 1; then a second time, using data from the second interview, create subsets of the data file using daycode = 2. Note differences in the results between the first and second interviews.

You must choose one film from this list to examine and connect to the themes covered in class. The film will be the primary source of your paper, but will NOT be the only source you should use to support your argument. You will be expected to connect the movie to at least one major theme covered in class.
These are the themes that were covered in class:
1. The rise of the importance of human rights connected Enlightenment, from the foundation of the nation through the slave issues leading to the Civil War.
2. The ideas of religion that brought respite from persecution, built colonial settlements, caused conflicts, brought solace in times of upheaval and rapid change.
3. The institution of slavery from its conception in the Atlantic Slave Trade through the Civil War including moral, religious, cultural, and racial connections.
4. The development of the nation politically including the institution of a two party system, the creation of the Declaration, the Articles of Confederation, the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and the debates surrounding these founding documents based on political beliefs.
5. The Industrial Revolution and the changes it sparked in society, including but not limited to, connections to nature, social reforms, and the impact on slavery.
6. An understanding of relations with Native Americans from contact through attempts at segregation and/or assimilation to removal of Native Americans.
7. The Frontier Myth, the development of the idea of Frontier Democracy and why this myth still persists.
8. The development of class structure, the causes of class definitions, and how these class structures developed.
You should review the themes before you view the movie.
Reading the Film:
Remember, this paper is not a summary of the plot of the film, but rather an examination of the message conveyed in the film as it relates to the major themes. You are expected to clearly document the theme(s) within the paper using the film as evidence of that theme. You should also include an examination of the historical accuracy and why this may or may have been modified using artistic license. Also take into consideration when the film was released as this is relevant to the message that the film is conveying. All of this will help you to “read” the film, rather than merely watch the story.
Writing the Paper:
• Start your paper with a general introduction that offers the reader some background into the major themes to which your movie will relate. Then follow through with a connection to your film choice and tie your intro into the thesis statement.
• The body of your paper should give specific examples and evidence relating the film to the themes. The more evidence, the stronger your paper will be.
• Finish your paper with a conclusion that goes beyond summarizing your paper but instead analyze the importance of the message of the film and relate it to its contemporary settings. Why was the film released at this particular time? Why are these themes relevant to the release date? Are the themes still relevant to major socio-political issues of today?
Please remember to cite any quotes or paraphrased ideas from your sources. Any citation style is acceptable as long as it is consistent throughout the essay. Must have works cited page.
