Ethical Behavior of Business Students at Bayview University - Case Study (MTH410)

Ethical Behavior of Business Students at Bayview University - MTH410

During the global recession of 2008 and 2009, there were many accusations of unethical
behavior by Wall Street executives, financial managers, and other corporate officers. At that
time, an article appeared that suggested that part of the reason for such unethical business
behavior may stem from the fact that cheating has become more prevalent among business
students (Chronicle of Higher Education, February 10, 2009). The article reported that 56%
of business students admitted to cheating at some time during their academic career as compared
to 47% of nonbusiness students.

Cheating has been a concern of the dean of the College of Business at Bayview University
for several years. Some faculty members in the college believe that cheating is more
widespread at Bayview than at other universities, while other faculty members think that
cheating is not a major problem in the college. To resolve some of these issues, the dean
commissioned a study to assess the current ethical behavior of business students at Bayview.
As part of this study, an anonymous exit survey was administered to a sample of 90 business
students from this year's graduating class. Responses to the following questions were
used to obtain data regarding three types of cheating.

During your time at Bayview, did you ever present work copied off the Internet as
your own?
Yes No ___ _
During your time at Bayview, did you ever copy answers off another student's
exam?
Yes ___ _ No ___ _
During your time at Bayview, did you ever collaborate with other students on projects
that were supposed to be completed individually?
Yes No ___ _
Any student who answered Yes to one or more of these questions was considered to have
been involved in some type of cheating. A portion of the data collected follows. The complete
data set is in the file named Bayview.

Prepare a report for the dean of the college that summarizes your assessment of the nature
of cheating by business students at Bayview University. Be sure to include the following
items in your report.

• Develop 95% confidence intervals for the proportion of all students, the proportion
of male students, and the proportion of female students who were involved in some
type of cheating.

• Conduct a hypothesis test to determine if the proportion of business students at
Bayview University who were involved in some type of cheating is less than that of
business students at other institutions as reported by the Chronicle of Higher
Education.

• Conduct a hypothesis test to determine if the proportion of business students at
Bayview University who were involved in some form of cheating is less than that
of nonbusiness students at other institutions as reported by the Chronicle of Higher
Education.

• What advice would you give to the dean based upon your analysis of the data?
