DISCUSSION BOARD FORUM 1/PROJECT 2 INSTRUCTIONS Standard Deviation and Outliers Thread:

For this assignment, you will use the Project 2 Excel Spreadsheet to answer the questions below. In each question, use the spreadsheet to create the graphs as described and then answer the question. Put all of your answers into a thread posted in Discussion Board Forum 1/Project 2. This course utilizes the Post-First feature in all Discussion Board Forums. This means you will only be able to read and interact with your classmates’ threads after you have submitted your thread in response to the provided prompt. For additional information on Post-First, click here for a tutorial. This is intentional. You must use your own work for answers to Questions 1–5. If something happens that leads you to want to make a second post for any of your answers to Questions 1–5, you must get permission from your instructor.

1. A. Create a set of 5 points that are very close together and record the standard deviation. Next, add a sixth point that is far away from the original 5 and record the new standard deviation. What is the impact of the new point on the standard deviation? Do not just give a numerical value for the change. Explain in sentence form what happened to the standard deviation.

B. Create a data set with 8 points in it that has a mean of approximately 10 and a standard deviation of approximately 1. Use the second chart to create a second data set with 8 points that has a mean of approximately 10 and a standard deviation of approximately 4. What did you do differently to create the data set with the larger standard deviation?

2. Go back to the spreadsheet and clear the data values from Question 1 from the data column and then put values matching the following data set into the data column for the first graph. 50, 50, 50, 50, 50. Notice that the standard deviation is 0. Explain why the standard deviation for this one is zero. Do not show the calculation. Explain in words why the standard deviation is zero when all of the points are the same. If you don’t know why, try doing the calculation by hand to see what is happening. If that does not make it clear, try doing a little research on standard deviation and see what it is measuring and then look again at the data set for this question.

3. Go back to the spreadsheet one last time and put each of the following three data sets into one of the graphs. Record what the standard deviation is for each data set and answer the questions below. Data set 1: 0, 0, 0, 100, 100, 100 Data set 2: 0, 20, 40, 60, 80, 100 Data set 3: 0, 40, 45, 55, 60, 100 Note that all three data sets have a median of 50. Notice how spread out the points are in each data set and compare this to the standard deviations for the data sets. Describe the relationship you see between the amount of spread and the size of the standard deviation and explain why this connection exists. Do not give your calculations in your answer—explain in sentence form. For the last 2 questions, use the Project 1 Data Set. 4. Explain what an outlier is. Then, if there are any outliers in the Project 1 Data Set, what are they? If there are no outliers, say no outliers.

5. Which 4 states have temperatures that look to be the most questionable or the most unrealistic to you? Explain why you selected these 4 states. For each state, give both the name and the temperature. Replies: After you have submitted your thread, you will be able to see your classmates’ threads. Find 2 classmates who disagreed with at least some part of your answers to Questions 4 and 5 and explain why your answers are correct. If you change your mind about your answers for Questions 4 and 5, explain what you were thinking originally as well as what you think now and why. Replies must be at least 50 words each. Submit your thread by 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Saturday of Module/Week 3. Submit your replies to 2 classmates’ threads by 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Monday of the same module/week.

For this activity you will:

State your Research Topic, Objective/Purpose, and Research Question(s).

List and label the dependent and independent variables.

State the null and alternate hypotheses.

Describe which qualitative methods could be used to address your research question(s). Describe any that could be applied.

Explain which would be the most appropriate and why.

Explain the advantages and disadvantages of your selection.

In one sentence, give the name of one country in which the MNE (The MNE being used for this is Austria's Red Bull gmbH) has operations. In one sentence, propose the staffing policy that the MNE should adopt for its operations in that country. In four to five sentences, explain your answer

Assuming that some key management positions must be held by expatriates, propose, in one sentence, whether the MNE should hire home-country expatriates or third-country expatriates for its operations in the country you have named above. In four to five sentences, explain your answer

When negotiating for a new job you should begin by figuring out what you want and what the potential employer wants. For example, you may not even wish to raise salary issues, after considering all your interests in addition to salary-and what is fair in the market. In addition, some employers do not negotiate about salary though they may be willing to talk about other parts of a job. Think through your fallback position for each negotiation you will be in. For many people this is the major source of power they will experience in looking for a job—please develop options for yourself and for your family. Options will help your mind, will strengthen your bargaining position, and will help your conscience. (Strong options will help defend you from the impulse to lie or misrepresent yourself). The fallback position is the source of power that appears weak if you are committed within one company. It is especially a problem if your old salary within the company was low. But you still may be able to scout out half a dozen possibilities within your old firm—build and use your professional relationships. If your old salary was low, spend a lot of effort to redefine yourself as a new commodity. Use the power of commitment and be dogged about this if you possibly can. Try very hard to build a fallback position, so that you will be choosing among jobs rather than just accepting one.

What is another name for the fallback position in this negotiation?

Explain this concept and analyze the situation of negotiating a job using the recommendations for preparation for a negotiation.
