One of the important concepts introduced in this Chapter 4 is the notion of false positive/false negative.

Re-read this section so it’s clear what these mean.

 

Then, imagine that you’re the Counselor in charge of assessing the following clients.

In 1-2 sentences, write up the consequences of false positives and false negatives for the following test-based decisions:

 

1. whether a law enforcement candidate is prone to using excessive force
2. whether a client is suicidal
3. whether an employed aircraft mechanic is a safety risk to the company

 

In each case, which is worse, a false positive or a false negative? Which should we try to minimize?

The following data have been collected from a 600 bed general hospital during 2008: Patients admitted 19,937 Total discharges/deaths 19,833 Patients remaining in hospital midnight Dec.31, 2007 622 Patients remaining in hospital midnight Dec.31, 2008 646 Total length of stay of discharged/died patients 218,505 Total patient days 236,832 Total deaths 605 Total autopsies performed 475 Coroner’s cases (unautopsied) 33 Number of anaesthetics administered 6,915 Number of operations performed 7,600 Total registered outpatients 192,746

From the information above, calculate the following: Show calulations and simple explaination.

a. Average daily census

b. Hospital death rate

c. Gross autopsy rate

d. Net autopsy rate

e. Percent of occupancy

For this project you are to evaluate all jobs in the file name PROJECT1JOBQUALIFICATIONS. It’s all 10 factors that I decided to do in this project.

 

What you want to do is to identify factors( which I already give you, no need to find)  that are found across your jobs and vary across your jobs. You can find it in example file I give you.

For example, formal education.  You want variation. If you select a factor with no variation, say they all require a driver’s license, this will not distinguish between jobs in terms of importance because they will all get the same number of points

 

First, your levels associated within each factor need to be mutually exclusive.   For example, when enumerating aspects, you can list none, 1 – 3, 4 – 6, etc.  They should not overlap.  An example of what not to do is none, 1 – 3, 3 – 6, etc.  Where would 3 go?

 

Second be very specific and very clear.  When evaluating jobs if the information is not in the job descriptions or some other source of information you have access to then do not make assumptions, etc.  We want to avoid this.  The reason we want to avoid this is that most people make assumptions in different ways, and they are not likely to be consistent.

 

Third, you have access to organizational charts in your project data.  If you want to incorporate job evaluation factors about the centrality of the job or the number of people supervised you can determine this through the organizational charts.  If there is no number listed with a position then the number of that position is 1.  If there are whole numbers, then it is that number.  If there is a number that is a decimal, like .5, then this is a part time position that is one-half.

 

 

You need to develop a job evaluation instrument and once the job are evaluated you have to put them in an order.

Next you want to see if your order makes sense.  It is at this point you need to look at your order and compare them to the organizational chart.  Jobs higher up in the hierarchy in the organizational chart should have more points than jobs below them.  Using QIS as an example, the QIS Manager should have more points than all others in that department.  The IS Manager should have more points than the IS Tech.  The IS MGR, Software application and training technician and quality specialist do not have to have all of the same points.  Furthermore, it is possible that the IS Tech could have more points than the software training tech and the quality specialist.  In other words, based on strict hierarchy your jobs that report to other jobs should have points that reflect that level.  QIS MGR more than the rest, IS Mgr more than the IS tech.

Using the organizational charts, check that these are occuring.  If they do not occur then you need to think about how you have evaluated them or tweaking your job evaluation instrument in order to get the jobs in an order that makes sense.

 

HINT:

 

1.You are to present one complete set of evaluations of the job which is Controller, cook, directofinance, facilities, family


2.You must state and describe the factors used by the committee. Describe how the job evaluation committee reached agreement on the factors. Describe and present your final ordering. 


3.Each factor should be clearly defined, have multiple levels which are also 
clearly defined, and points assigned to each level. 


4.You can cluster factors around a related issue. For example, you could have a 
Knowledge-related factor that consists of Formal Education, Experience, and Certifications. This would count as three factors, and grouping can help you in your actual report. 


3. Once you complete the construction of your instrument, use it to evaluate your assigned jobs. Each job should end up with a value.

Just read each file I just upload.

 

Then you use excel to put all 5 toghether

 

In example file there is an example how to put all toghether.Go to the page where it says POINT FACTORS BREAK DOWN

Look at point factor break down. That is 5 colum for 5 job.

 

describe technical terms considering communication and explain how this can be shown in a primary school

Considering the USA Patriot Act, do you think Americans could could ever sacrifice too many rights in exchange for national security? What does the Patriot Act allow the government to do that might give you pause concerning your privacy? Do you believe that most people know what is in the Patriot Act concerning their individual liberties? If you decided to protest the government anyway, do you think some of these concerns over the Patriot Act’s reach could impact you?

Explain at what point a person is considered “Under Arrest”. Explain the difference between a stop and an arrest. Why might states authorize probable cause for certain unwitnessed misdemeanors? How much force can be used by an officer when executing an arrest? How is it determineddetermined? Can you think of any times when you heard about “excessive use of force” and if so, how do you think the actions of a few influenced the perceptions of many regarding the police?

1. Ahmed and Tiana buy a cake for $14 that is half chocolate and half vanilla. They cut the cake into 8 slices.

   If Ahmed likes chocolate four times as much as vanilla, what is the value of a slice that is half chocolate, half vanilla?

2. Dustin and Kendra want to split a bag of fun-sized candy, and decide to use the divider-chooser method. The bag contains 100 Snickers, 100 Milky Ways, and 100 Reese’s, which Dustin values at $1, $3, and $5 respectively. (This means Dustin values the 100 Snickers together at $1, or $0.01 for 1 Snickers).  If Kendra is the divider, and in one half puts: 30 Snickers, 40 Milky Ways, and 66 Reese’s  a.) What is the value of this half in Dustin’s eyes?   b.) Does Dustin consider this a fair share?  c.) If Dustin was a divider, find a possible division that is consistent with his value system.
3. Jenna, Tatiana, and Nina are dividing a large bag of candy. They randomly split the bag into three bowls. The values of the entire bag and each of the three bowls in the eyes of each of the players are shown below. For each player, identify which bowls they value as a fair share.

   	Whole Bag	Bowl 1	Bowl 2	Bowl 3
   Jenna	$8	$4.50	$0.75	$2.75
   Tatiana	$4	$1.00	$1.00	$2.00
   Nina	$6	$1.75	$2.50	$1.75

4. After living together for a year, Emily, Kayla, and Kendra have decided to go their separate ways. They have several items they bought together to divide, as well as some moving-out chores. The values each place are shown below. Find the final allocation.

   	Emily	Kayla	Kendra
   Dishes	20	30	40
   Vacuum cleaner	100	120	80
   Dining table	100	80	130
   Detail cleaning	-70	-40	-50
   Cleaning carpets	-30	-60	-50

1. Consider a call option on the British pound (BP) which represents the right to purchase £1,000 at the strike price of $1.30 per £. The option will expire in one year. The current spot rate is $1.32 per £. In the future, the spot rate may become $1.40 or $1.50 per £. The annual risk-free interest rate is 6.0% in the US and 5% in the UK. A pure-discount British bond, that will pay £1,000 on the maturity date, is selling for £952.38 now.

(a) If you buy a British bond, how many calls do you have to buy or sell to construct a risk-free hedge portfolio? What is the future dollar value of the hedge portfolio? (b) What is the fair price of this call option? (c) Suppose the call is trading for $20 per contract. Show how you can realize arbitrage profit and determine the profit. Assume you buy or sell one unit of British bond.
