What are the challenges of a steadily growing elderly inmate population?

I have always felt like any business that pursues an opportunity solely for the sake of money will have a hard time succeeding. I strongly believe that you need to have a more complete "Why" around why you are doing something.

Personally I think the examples in the NFL case bear this out. The MLB and the NBA could say something like: "Yes we want to make more money, but we really want to expand the profile of our game where there are already people playing the sport, and this will help us keep our position as the best league for this sport in the world." The NFL didn't have that, and only went after money (not including the recent past). I think their struggles to expand show that your businesses expansion decisions should be driven by a "Why" that has nothing to do with profits, and AFTER you have answered that question you can worry about profits.

For this activity, I want you to GO OUTSIDE. You don't have to go far. Find a city park. Find a patch of grass. Find your backyard. Find your local playground. But find somewhere where maybe there is some vegetation and some nonhuman animals.

Step 1. Look around you. Make careful observations. What do you see? What kinds of phenomena define the landscape that you see before you? What kinds of organisms travel along with it? How does water move through it (think precipitation, how does water get into the ground? Where is the closest water body where a drop of water might end up?) What kinds of things can't you see that you might be curious about? Don't limit yourself or your thinking. Stretch your mind. Include the land, the sky, the soil, etc. Observe the big picture as well as the tiny picture.

Below, briefly describe the environment around you. Remember the environment includes the atmosphere, biosphere, lithosphere (the ground) and the hydrosphere (lakes, oceans, rain):

Step 2. Now write your observations in the form of scientific questions. Scientific questions are those that can be addressed using observation and hypothesis testing. Write at least ten scientific questions. Think big, think small, and everywhere in between.

Step 3. Pick the question that you think would be the easiest to address using the scientific method and try to form two different possible answers. Frame them in the form of scientific hypotheses: your best guess given your current knowledge of the natural world.

Question picked:

Hypothesis 1:

Hypothesis 2:

Step 4. Now, as best you can, write a paragraph describing an experiment or study you could run to address your question. In your study, tell me what the independent and dependent variables are. What sort of things should be controlled for?

Describe three major concepts in each of the Transactional Leadership Style. (Major Concepts) Include an application section for the leadership style.

Debs John, the proprietor of Maiz Beverages Supplies, was thinking about the dispatch of another item for which she expected to discover the beat of purchasers to choose further. She structured an survey for gathering information from individuals in the city and connected with the administrations of research students from the college for executing the fieldwork. Be that as it may, she saw them as non-cooperative at times and pondered whether the information provided was fudged.

Exercise 2:

Create a spreadsheet to calculate your projected total costs, total revenues, and total profits

for giving a seminar on cost estimating. Make the following assumptions:

• You will charge $600 per person for a two-day class.
• You estimate that 30 people will attend the class, but you want to change this input.
• Your fixed costs include $500 total to rent a room for both days, setup fees of $400 for

registration, and $300 for designing a postcard for advertising.

• You will not include your labor costs for this estimate, but you estimate that you will spend at least 150 hours developing materials, managing the project, and giving the actual class. You would like to know what your time is worth given different scenarios.
• You will order 5,000 postcards, mail 4,000, and distribute the rest to friends and colleagues.
• Your variable costs include the following:

1. $5 per person for registration plus four percent of the class fee per person to handle

credit card processing; assume that everyone pays by credit card

2. $0.40 per postcard for printing if you order 5,000 or more
3. $0.25 per postcard for mailing and postage
4. $25 per person for beverages and lunch
5. $30 per person for class handouts

Be sure to have input cells for any variables that might change, such as the cost of postage

and handouts. Calculate your profits based on each of the following numbers of people who

might attend: 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, and 60. In addition, calculate what your time would be worth

per hour based on the number of students. Try to use the Excel data table feature to show

the profits based on the number of students. If you are unfamiliar with data tables, just repeat

the calculations for each possibility of 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, and 60 students. Print your results

on one page, highlighting the profits for each scenario and what your time is worth.

Discuss the concept of conformity. Then describe the five types of social influence that affect the likelihood of conformity.

Mobile phone manufacturers largely distribute their products through service providers like T-Mobile and AT&T and not directly to the customer. Why do you believe this is so? Do you think this is the most efficient method?

The reservation office for Central Airlines has two agents answering incoming phone calls for flight reservations. A caller can be put on hold until one of the agents is available to take the call. If all three phone lines (both agent lines and the hold line) are busy, a potential customer gets a busy signal, in which case the call is lost. All calls occur randomly (i.e., according to a Poisson process) at a mean rate of 15 per hour. The length of a telephone conversation has an exponential distribution with a mean of 4 minutes.

(a)Construct the rate diagram for this queueing system.

(b) Find the steady-state probability that: (Show every calculation)

1. A caller will get to talk to an agent immediately.

2. The caller will be put on hold, and

3. The caller will get a busy signal.

true or false

7) A challenge with all of the data sources available today is that so much data is now available, it requires people with the knowledge to properly synthesize and analyze the correct data, or else the models produced will not properly answer the question trying to be asked.   True: _____ False: _____
