Case study
Carol Katz works for the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) within the Department of Labour. Her
particular area of responsibility is air safety processes and, in particular, the integrity of safety processes at airports.
You are asked to prepare an individual audio-narrated presentation that addresses and analyses the following issues:
Create a spreadsheet that will be helpful for Carol to use to decide on probability p of violation. Consider different
probabilities of violations p and explain how you created the spreadsheet. For example, consider p=0.05, two values
of p greater than 0.05 and two values of p smaller than 0.05.
What is the mean number of violations and mean fine that the airport pays for different values of p?
What is the safety cost that the airport has to pay for different values of p?
Discuss the costs that would include both safety cost and fine that will be incurred for different values of p.
Which probability of violations p seems reasonable to implement at the airport?
Create any graph that will be useful for descriptive analysis to discuss the problem.
Why is it important to rely on data in this context? What benefits may it bring?

YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES
Save your work on your Microsoft 365 OneDrive, and for additional
back-up we recommend that you email yourself a copy at regular intervals,
and/or make copies at regular intervals on a USB device.
Start your work as soon as you can so that you can submit your work
before the submission deadline.
Do not start late and risk submitting late.
Submit your work to the Learning Room Dropbox folder before the
submission deadline.
YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES
It is important that you do not:
Copy (or scan) sentences or paragraphs from any academic or professional source
material (e.g., textbooks, journal articles, professional trade magazine articles) and
paste these into your work with the intent of having the tutor think that these
sentences and paragraphs were written by yourself.
Copy (or scan) sentences or paragraphs from any previous student example
assessments that may have been shared with you in class or on your Learning
Room.
Share any elements of your work (e.g., notes, calculations, typed answers, sources
used) with other students by screenshare, social media, telephone, or email.
Use any elements of a student’s work that have been shared with you
YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES
When working on your individual coursework and discussing your approach with other students,
keeping a brief record of points or ideas written down as an aid to memory, is acceptable
practice.
If you decide to write complete sentences or paragraphs that directly capture what another
person said and then use these later in your own work without acknowledging the source, then
this is plagiarism.
Where the other person uses the same statements in their own work these matches will be
flagged in Turnitin. This would constitute an academic irregularity and it is likely your work will
be subject to additional moderation and be considered by the School Academic Irregularities
Panel (SAIP).
You should keep any notes that are used in writing your assessment in case you are required to
produce them at a later date to authenticate the development of your own ideas.
DISCUSSING INDIVIDUAL COURSEWORK WITH OTHER
STUDENTS
Please ensure that you submit your work before the submission deadline (the
Dropbox folder due date) to the Learning Room Dropbox folder.
All students, including those with a statement of access, submit to the same
Dropbox folder.
The Dropbox folder will remain open after the submission deadline has passed.
Submitting your work after the due date/time will be considered a
late-submission and the late submission penalties will be applied in line with the
NTU Quality Handbook Common Assessment Regulations (unless you have been
granted an extension via a Notification of Exceptional Circumstance (NEC)
application).
SUBMITTING YOUR WORK
If you are attempting to submit your work close to the submission deadline
(which is also the Dropbox folder due date/time) and you encounter a technical
problem outside of your control, or have an unresolved technical problem then
you must:
Email the Library Support Team at [email protected] and include a precise
description of the problem and include a screenshot showing the specific problem or error
encountered.
Email a description of the problem to your Module Leader (include a screenshot or
photograph of the issue) and attach a copy of your work in the email.
Submit your work to the Dropbox folder as soon as you are able to.
Submit a Notification of Exceptional Circumstances, with evidence of the technical issues
encountered (including the response from the library support team).
SUBMITTING YOUR WORK
Please also note that inability to submit your work on time as a result of
failure to save your work on a regular basis will not be accepted as grounds
for subsequent Notification of Exceptional Circumstances.
