Please help me answer the following question ASAP?
Question by rashrash27: Please help me answer the following question ASAP?
A well-known pharmaceutical company, Robins & Robins, is working through a public scandal. Three popular medications which they sell over-the-counter have been determined to be tainted with small particles of plastic explosive. It has not yet been determined where the plastic explosives came from, but over million in inventory is impacted. The inventory is located throughout the Western United States, and it is possible that it has also made its way into parts of Canada. A recall occurs but it is mostly unsuccessful.
Last fall, the FDA had promulgated an administrative rule which stated that all pharmaceutical companies which sold over-the-counter medications must incorporate a special tracking bar code (i.e. UPC bars) on all packaging, to ensure that recalls could be done with very little trouble. This bar code would have cost about $.35 (cents) per package, which would have cost the company nearly million on this batch of inventory.
Robins & Robins lobbied hard against this rule, and managed to get it stopped in the public comments period. They utilized multiple arguments, including the cost (which would be passed on to consumers). They also raised “privacy” concerns, which they discussed simply to get public interest groups upset. (One of the drugs impacted is used for assisting with alcoholism treatment – specifically for withdrawal symptoms and many alcoholics were afraid their use of the drug could be tracked back to them.) Robins & Robins argued that people would be concerned about purchasing the medication with a tracking mechanism included with the packaging and managed to get enough public interest groups against the rule. The FDA decided not to impose the rule.
The FDA decides to require all pharmaceutical companies to immediately implement the tracking bars (UPC) as a result of the disaster with Robins & Robins. Robins & Robins decides not to challenge this and begins the process of adding them to all of their products. However, McFadden, Inc., a New York pharmaceutical realizes that this new requirement is going to bankrupt them immediately. McFadden did not participate in the original public comment period. However, this rule
is different from the rule which went through that public comment period, in that it specifically names 4 companies as being impacted, Robins & Robins, McFadden, Inc., Bayer, and Johnson & Johnson. On what bases can McFadden challenge this requirement imposed by the FDA? Provide at least two bases under the Administrative Procedures Act. Would the injuries from the Robins & Robins situation impact the chances that this challenge would be successful? Why or why not?
Question 2, please help me ASAP
It is discovered that Robins & Robins knew about the tainted medication two months earlier than they announced the recall. They hid it, and in fact, sent out contract buyers to try to buy up all of the medication off the shelves. Their “fake” recall failed. Using the Laura Nash method of analyzing ethical dilemmas, analyze the ethical dilemma faced by the CEO of Robins & Robins for the fact that they saved 35 cents/package and are now in the middle of a major, life threatening recall. Analyze their “fake” recall as well. Show all of the steps of the model and give a recommendation to the CEO of what to do now that the deaths are escalating. What is the “right” thing for the CEO to do in this case? Did the model help you come to this conclusion or did you use some other method? Explain.

Answer by STEPHEN
McFadden can challenge the requirement by asserting the cost element and that its implementation would bankrupt them and make the same arguments that Robins & Robins made. Additionally, they could argue that the FDA is estopped by its prior decision to not impose the Rule; this, of course, could be countered by the argument that McFadden waived all arguments against imposition of the Rule by its failure to participate in the earlier public comment period. McFadden could also argue that the FDA is over-reacting to a calamity which could not be foreseen and is so rare an occurrence that it is highly unlikely to happen again, to which the FDA would contend that its statutory authority compels that it impose the Rule. The injuries of the Robins & Robins matter would be the only significant impact which would cause the imposition of the Rule. The two bases: (1) It would not be an abuse of discretion to impose the Rule. (2). The FDA may lawfully take administrative notice of the Robins & Robins calamity.

A somewhat stupid question about Henna kits?
Question by modelesque: A somewhat stupid question about Henna kits?
Last night I posted a question asking if you can get custom henna designs at a henna place. The kiosk that I know that does henna doesn’t do custom pieces (or so I think, they had pictures of all the designs you can get up). If I were to buy a kit, would I be able to do a custom henna on myself or is it specifically made to use the stencils?
I’nm pretty artistic, if that helps.

Please, Please, Please… Question Gravity
My little contribution towards promoting Chattiestspike2’s hilarious parody of Creation Ministries International’s ludicrous Question Evolution campaign. Anything you can do to help spread the word for him will be worthwhile as it will does a great job of showing up Creationism for the intellectual vacuum that it is. You can find his channel here: www.youtube.com CS2’s own description of the Question Gravity campaign: Why the campaign? To show how stupid it looks to act as though a well supported theory is still questionable at fundamentally basic levels- even though every single aspect questioned has an answer. A direct knockoff of creation.com’s and ppsimmons’ “Question Evolution” campaign where do they something similar to mine… but theirs isn’t even satire… which is just sad.

Can you help me with my last Probability question?
Question by Emperor: Can you help me with my last Probability question?
A large consumer company ran a television advertisement for one of its soap products.On the basis of a survey that was conducted, probabilities were assigned to the following events.
B=individual purchased the product
S=individual recalls seeing the advertisement
B?S=individual purchased the product and recalls seeing the advertisement
The probabilities assigned were
P(B)=.20
P(S)=.40
P(B?S)=.12
a.)What is the probability of an individual’s purchasing the product given that the individual recalls seeing the advertisement?Does seeing the advertisement increase the probability that the individual will purchase the product? As a decision maker, would you recommend continuing the advertisement(assuming that the cost is reasonable)?
b.)Assume the individuals who do not purchase the company’s soap product buy from its competitors.What would be your estimate of the company’s market share?Would you expect that continuing the advertisement will increase the company’s market share?Why or why not?
c.)The company also tested another advertisement and assigned it values of P(S)=.30 and P(B?S)=.10. What is P(B/S) for this other advertisement?Which advertisement seems to have had the bigger effect on customer purchases?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks. Free computer help and spanish help if you help me out with this.And your ten points of course.:)

Hi,
The probabilities assigned were
P(B)=.20
P(S)=.40
P(B?S)=.12
a.)What is the probability of an individual purchasing the product given that the individual recalls seeing the advertisement? Does seeing the advertisement increase the probability that the individual will purchase the product? As a decision maker, would you recommend continuing the advertisement(assuming that the cost is reasonable)?
.12 bought out of the .40 who remember seeing the ad.
.12/.40 = 30% bought <==ANSWER When only 30% were persuaded to buy their soap, the company may want to reconsider investing their money in these ads. b.)Assume the individuals who do not purchase the company's soap product buy from its competitors.What would be your estimate of the company's market share? 20% is the probability of someone buying their soap, from P(B) = .20. Would you expect that continuing the advertisement will increase the company's market share? Not likely Why or why not? While overall market share was 20%, the 30% of people remembering the ads who bought the soap does show an increase in purchasing, so it was effective. But it could have been a LOT more effective, so I'd explore other ideas. c.)The company also tested another advertisement and assigned it values of P(S)=.30 and P(B?S)=.10. What is P(B/S) for this other advertisement? .10/.30 = 33% bought Which advertisement seems to have had the bigger effect on customer purchases? The new ad seems to have a slightly bigger effect on customers. I hope that helps!! :-)

Q&A: Why are there so many stupid question on Y!A regarding race?
Question by Little Miss Chatterbox: Why are there so many stupid question on Y!A regarding race?
Why are there so many stupid questions on here which are deliberately designed to offend people? I was just looking around and I came across too many questions saying things like “Why do blacks want to become criminals/gangsters?” or “Why are white people always fishing for compliments?”, those are just a few of what I’ve found. What are these people’s problems? Why do they feel the need to be so ignorant, disrespectful and immature to each other? How can they not see that these stupid questions are not productive in society?
