UCF Statistics Binomial & Poisson Fitting Distributions Discussion
Select and post to One (1) of the following options from either Unit 3 or Unit 4 Topics for your discussion posting. Alternatively, you can post on a topic of your own creation, related to these chapters (following similar guidelines).Unit 3 Topics:1 – Hypergeometric PokerConsider a Poker game where an opponent tells you that the five cards she or he holds (and which you cannot see) represent a hand that beats 60% of all other possible hands. (If you aren’t that familiar with Poker, a quick web search will help you understand the relationships between terrible and excellent poker hands — with better hands having lower probability)Discuss how you would use that knowledge, along with the Hypergeometric Distribution, to correctly identify the hand your opponent is holding. Be very specific in describing your step by step approach to solving the problem. Exactly what probabilities would you be calculating, in what order, and why? How accurate can you be, and why cant you be more accurate than that?2 Binomial & Poisson FittingIf someone tells us that a random variable is described by a Binomial or Poisson distribution, it becomes a very simple matter (presuming we know the key parameters) to be able to then predict the likelihood that any particular combination of values will be seen in a dataset containing that variable. Sometimes, though, we dont know what kind of distribution our variable will fit, or we dont know enough to be able to identify the key parameters needed to make accurate predictions.Part of the analysis we routinely do with datasets is to identify whether or not any of the variables included are Binomial or Poisson in nature. Discuss why it can be helpful to do this?Discuss how you would identify which variables in the dataset would benefit from such analysis. Does it provide benefit to name the distribution that applies even if you can’t precisely identify the needed parameters for that distribution?Use specific examples in your post: Provide some examples of variables that might be in your data that would be considered Binomial or Poisson. These examples should demonstrate that you understand how to recognize that a variable fit one of these distributions.3 – Predicting Defectives & DefectsDiscrete probability distributions are extremely useful in engineering statistics. One particular area where these distributions are commonly used by engineers is quality engineering.It turns out that if we know the expected defective rate of a process or product, we can make predictions about actual defectives using the Binomial distribution. For example, if we know our defective rate is 15% and we want to produce 100 of something, the Binomial distribution will allow us to predict the probability of different levels of actual defectives that will be seen among those 100. The expect value of 15% tells us that 15 would be the average value over the long run, but it doesn’t tell us how many we’ll actually see in the next 100 produced. It might be 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, or 30, and the Binomial distribution can predict the probability of each outcome.It also turns out that if we have a defective process or product, the number of defects in a defective (also known as the defect density) will be predictable using the Poisson distribution. Some defectives will have only 1 defect, while others might have many more. The parameter of interest with the Poisson distribution is the expected arrival rate. If our quality control data tells us that the expected rate of defects in our defective products or processes is 10, then that number is a statement about how many each defective process or product will contain on average in the long run. It’snot a prediction of exactly how many defects the next defective will have. The Poisson distribution gives us the ability to predict the number of defects that we’ll see in the next defective, and it will be a value ranging from below to above the expected value.Discuss the way that probability allows you, as an engineer, to more accurately predict and manage quality in processes and products. Without these distributions, we might know that our defective rate is 15% and that the expected defects in a defective is 10. How would we manage quality if that’s all we knew? Alternatively, what do we know about the best case and worst case scenarios if we consider that the Binomial distribution governs the number of defectives we’ll see, and the Poisson distribution governs the number of defects we’ll see in a defective. How would you use this information to inform management about why sometimes we have good quality days, and other times we have bad quality days? How would you explain that sometimes we have lots of defects but very few defects per defective, while other times we have few defectives but each has lots of defects? How do the Binomial and Poisson distributions help you understand what is happening in each scenario? Use specific examples of probabilities in illustrating your explanations.4 – Ethics in Engineering (Columbia Space Shuttle Accident)BackgroundThe Columbia Space Shuttle Accident presents some challenges for engineers. The accident analysis that followed the Space Shuttle Challenger Accident almost 20 years earlier resulted in everyone having a pretty good idea of the reliability of the system. Since Success/Failure of a mission is a binary outcome, the Binomial distribution would govern our understanding of the future outcome so the system based on expected reliability.DiscussionDiscuss the ethics of the circumstances that resulted in the Columbia Space Shuttle Accident. Considering the predictions that were made years before the accident, as well as the reliability of the Binomial distribution and its implications, what could or should the engineers associated with the program have done differently? What obligations do we have as engineers when we find ourselves in this kind of position? Ultimately, why did the system fail, and who shares the responsibility?5 – Gambler’s FallacyDescribe the Gambler’s Fallacy from our readings, and illustrate the concept using an example from the real world where a person or organization might suffer as a result of the fallacy. How would you use an explanation of the fallacy to explain to someone why they were making a mistake in their reasoning? In you respond to others on this topic, comment on whether the explanation they’ve offered is adequate for addressing the problem.Unit 4 Topics:6 – Normal ApproximationsThis weeks and last weeks readings have included the Binomial, Poisson and Normal distributions. Each provides very accurate results when used in the circumstances for which they are intended in quality engineering. However, the Binomial and Poisson distributions can get very cumbersome to calculate as the scale of the sample size grows. The tables of values provided in most text books typically dont provide values for very large sample sizes. (The largest sample size supported in our text appendices is 36.) As a result, it is conventional to use the Normal distribution as an approximation of either the Binomial or Poisson distribution as sample sizes grow.Discuss what it means to use the Normal distribution as an approximation for the Binomial or Poisson distribution. Why does it work? What are the strengths or weaknesses of doing so? (Hint: Think about the center versus the tails.)7 Statistics vs. AnalysisStatistical Process Control (SPC) is often described as an applied side of the Binomial, Poisson, and Normal distributions. Many have said that an X-bar control chart is simply a Normal distribution turned on its side. Some argue that our statistics course shouldnt try to cover these applications because they represent an analytical skill rather than a statistical technique.Discuss, first whether or not you agree with the notion that SPC is an application of what were learning in this class, and second, whether coverage of the topic is helpful in this class. How might your outcomes after this class be affected positively or negatively by whether or not we cover Chapter 16 in the text?8 Distribution ParametersThe various distributions in the reading this week and last week entail probability curves that mathematically differ according to a group of parameters. Different parameters allow for specification of the shape, scale, and location of the distribution.Discuss the role that these parameters play in establishing the characteristic form for each distribution. Consider why our text doesnt discuss the location parameter very much. Why might that be? Also, if we strip away these parameters from the various distribution formulas, whats typically left? Treat this thread as a conceptual exploration, not a detailed mathematical proof.Since our text uses these parameters but doesnt teach them very much, feel free to use additional outside sources in formulating your response to this thread; but please cite any sources you use.9 Why These Distributions?A classic question of logic is: Which came first, the chicken or the egg? In this class, we might adapt that question for exploring the various probability distributions weve seen this week and last week. Many things we analyze as engineers can be best understood as manifestations in the world of the probabilities these distributions describe. Knowing the appropriate descriptive distribution allows us to make predictions about what has happened, or will happen, in the world.Discuss how you would explain to a non-engineering manager why, when, and how you would make use of these distributions in order to solve a problem or address an opportunity. What would you need to start, and what you have after your analysis?10 – Probability PlotsIn Unit 3 we learned about discrete probability distributions: Hypergeometric, Binomial, and Poisson. In Unit 4, we added the Normal distribution to our list as the first of many continuous distributions. In this unit, we are adding those other continuous probability distributions. We are seeing that the Exponential, Gamma, Weibull, Lognormal, and Beta distributions are appropriate to certain types of engineering problems. Although our readings have tended to focus the most attention on the Normal distributions, we need to recognize that to solve a particular engineering challenge, any of these distributions might be needed. We need to be able to determine which, if any, of these distributions fits any situation in which we might be doing analysis. We use a probability plot as a tool to determine if a set of data we are analyzing can reasonably be described by one of our probability distributions. I so, then the standard probabilities associated with the distribution can be used to make predictions about the process or system represented by our data. If not, we have to do some extra math to determine our own probabilities by fitting the data we have to an algebraic function (something we’ll do when we get to linear and nonlinear regression) and then integrating that function over our range of interest to determine probabilities. The math isn’t that difficult once we know the function, but it is certainly faster and easier to do our work if we can quickly show that one of the distributions we already understand fits our data well enough to use it.Discuss how a probability plot works, and why we can draw conclusions based on the level of fit we see. If the resulting “fit” isn’t perfect (which it very rarely is), what factors do you need to consider in deciding about whether to use a particular distribution to solve your challenge? Describe how you would go about determining the best distribution for a set of data (if there actually is one).

Review assignment | Management homework help
each question should be answered with a page and a half
pick a single company in the S&P 500 and answer the following four questions
Experience is a common job requirement but aspiring professionals are often frustrated by this obstacle to career advancement. They think I need experience to get the job BUT I need the job to get experience!!! Maybe you can relate to this. First, research and describe how your chosen company is handling the question of education and experience requirements in hiring. Then, explain how you would handle it differently (if at all) if you were in charge of Human Resources and Workforce Management for the same company. How much would or should be necessary? Would it vary by job? If so, how? And are there any exceptions?
2. Some businesses focus a lot on succession planning. Others, however, seem to just put off worrying about it until someone dies, resigns, or gets fired. First, research and describe how your chosen company is handling the questions of employee development and succession planning. Then, explain how you would handle it differently (if at all) if you were in charge of Human Resources and Workforce Management for the same company. What kind of programs or initiatives or incentives would you put in place? How would you measure whether your efforts are achieving the desired goals?
3. Most businesses run payroll biweekly, but some do it more frequently and some less frequently. First, research and describe how your chosen company is handling the question of payroll frequency. Then, explain how you would handle it differently (if at all) if you were in charge of Human Resources and Workforce Management for the same company. What are the advantages and drawbacks to your chosen frequency?
4. Location is a critical variable in determining not just where a businesss operations will be situated, but also where it will find its human capital and talent. First, research and describe how your chosen company is handling location strategy. Then, explain how you would handle it differently (if at all) if you were in charge of Human Resources and Workforce Management for the same company. If you were asked to identify a new city (anywhere in the United States) for a corporate headquarters office, what city would you suggest and why? Be sure to consider variables like minimum wage and taxes, average education levels, and other factors that would be relevant to such a decision

Unit 6 responses | Human Resource Management homework help
1. For this discussion board I chose to a drug counselor. A drug counselor is someone deal with people who have a range of problems such as alcoholism, addiction and depression. Some of the duties of a drug counselor are evaluate a client’s mental and physical health, work with your client and find behaviors or situations that interfere with the clients recovery, many more. The educational requirements of being a drug consular are that you have to have a bachelors degree and a license. As of May of 2021 that estimated salary of being a drug counselor was $48,520. From 2020 to 2023 the growth is estimated to grow 23%. To be honest the real reason I have picked this career path is because I am an recovering addict and one of the hardest this for me to have to deal with in the beginning was not having someone who completely understood and could relate to the things and feelings I was dealing with. Some of the charateristics of being a drug counselor are having the ability to listen to others when they are talking, having patience, agiain they need to have interpersonal skills, and many more.

2. The primary task associated with this career is to teach clients how to cope with stress and life’s problems in ways that help them recover. Refer to other services such as job placement services, support groups, evaluate the clients mental and physical health, addiction, or problematic behavior.
The educational requirements are at least a bachelor’s degree, and if you want to be a counselor a master with 2 years of internship. The salary for this kind of job starts around $48,520 that $23.33 an hour, with a project growth from 2021 to 31 of 22%.
The motivation behind this career path is one the love of helping others, and two because my father was an alcoholic, and was not the best father to me and if I can help at least one other child from an alcoholic parent and the problems it creates, then it will be worth it.
The values or characteristics that would be reflected would be empathy, desire to help people, recognition of the need for counselors in this field.
This is the definition for this field Drug and alcohol
Evaluate clients mental and physical health, addiction, or problematic behavior and assess their readiness for treatment Develop, recommend, and review treatment goals and plans with clients and their families Assist clients in developing skills and behaviors necessary to recover from their addiction or change their behavior Work with clients to identify behaviors or situations that interfere with their recovery Document and maintain records of clients’ progress Teach clients family members about addiction or behavior disorders and help them develop strategies to support clients in recovery refer clients to other resources and services, such as job placement services and support groups

One of the major concerns related to the US economy at the moment is INFLATION. On this Discussion you will start exploring this topic. As so many economists say uncontrolled inflation is too much money chasing the same goods and services Here you will research the forces behind inflation. Make sure you leave political views not influence your assessments of the facts. This is not even a Political Science course. Lets analyze the facts as they are.
Under the Trump administration, the US Federal Government, approved a never seen before 2 trillion dollars Stimulus Package in response to the concerns about economic side effects COVID-19 instilled in our society. A significant part of the Stimulus Package was designated to individuals, including unemployment compensation sent to millions of people as well as PPP for business in different industries. As the Biden administration took office, in January 2021 a new Stimulus Package was signed and approved to inject another 1.9 trillion dollars into the economy. As part of the new stimulus plan, the deadline for several benefits associated to the 1st Stimulus Package were postponed and continued for longer periods of time as originally planned. The great majority of the stimulus was approved and released before the COVID 19 vaccination was in place. Under the Biden administration stimulus efforts took place at the beginning of COVID 19 vaccination and continues as of right now. Several Economists and Policy makers have argued that this injections of money created one of the forms of inflation Demand Pull inflation. However, in parallel withthe inflation created by the Stimulus there was another one happening at the same time: Cost Push Inflation
Question 1) What is Cost Push Inflation? Explain in detail and Provide source ( 10 points) How has the disruption of supply chain during the Pandemic pressured up the level of inflation? Please find a real case of either a firm, corporation or institution that has been affected by the disruption of the supply chain in their industry and explain their experience and how the situation pressured the prices they charge for their own goods and or services to a higher level. Present the evidence, explain and provide the source. (20 points) You can use up to 2 sources
Question 2) How has the labor shortage that started during the Pandemic in March 2020 and lasted all the way to the beginng of 2022 pressured up the level of inflation ? Please find a real case of either a firm, corporation that has been affected by the disruption of the labor supply and explain their experience and how the situation pressured the prices they charge for goods and or services they offer ? Present the evidence, explain and provide the source. (20 points) You can use up to 2 sources
Question 3) Since the last quarter of 2022 several major employers in the US started announcing rounds of lay offs. Among them, Amazon, Disney Company, Morgan Stanley among others. Goldman Sachs last week indicated last week that 3,200 jobs would be eliminated. What is the opportunity cost of the high inflation ? Explain in detail provide evidence. (20 points)
