What is the Allegory of the Cave? What is Plato trying to describe about human existence using this allegory? Have you ever had a time when you have “left the cave” only to return with a new understanding of your former world? If you are unclear on any of the elements of Plato’s philosophy use the discussion board to ask questions to gain a better understanding of the philosophy from your peers. (answer should be at least 200 words)

  1. When making a decision it is human nature to make assumptions. Understanding the assumptions along with the consequences should those assumptions be incorrect is important. A best practice when making a decision is to make a list of any assumptions that exist. Discuss a decision you have made in the past in your professional life that was based on assumptions that proved to be incorrect. What were the consequences and how did you handle the resulting situation?
  2. There are many different decision making models available such as: the rational model; the seven step model; and the Carnegie model to name a few. What are the pros and cons of managers using decision making models?
  3. What factors should be taken into consideration when collecting data for a strategic decision?

whether pitching a softball or throwing a bowling ball is more stressful to the human shoulder. find the force exerted the muscle in each scenario to come up with an answer.

assumptions:
for bowling ball:
the weight of the bowling ball is 7.27kg
radius of arm =.6
weight of arm is 4 kg
this is an underhanded throw
For softball:
the arm rotates 360 degress (windmill motion)
it is an overhand pitch
weight of a softball is .198kg
weight of arm=4 kg

2 A Human Relations manager believes that an individual's wage rate at the factory depends on the individual performance rating and the number of training courses the employee successfully completed in the training program. The manager randomly selects 6 workers and collects the following information.
Data Table Problem 2
Employee Wage Rate Performance Rate # of Training Courses
1 $          10.00 3 0
2 $          12.00 1 5
3 $          15.00 8 1
4 $          17.00 5 8
5 $          20.00 7 12
6 $          25.00 10 9
Be prepared to answer any questions on the relationship of this data. Use multiple regression.

You are the new Vice President of Human Resources at a Hospital. You are excited about your role and you have already been briefed on some of the most challenging organizational problems. Your focus is on employee retention. The National Health Care Retention Report (2019) revealed that total hospital turnover rate across the US is at 19% which is 0.9% greater than 2017. Overall, hospital turnover rates range from 5.3% to 36.3% (National Healthcare Retention Report, 2019). Your hospitals turnover rate is at 33.5%. You have a total of 3500 team members which means annually 1155 team members are leaving the organization voluntarily or involuntarily. Not only is this an expensive problem, it is also one that hurts employee morale and the overall effectiveness of the hospital. One of your key strategic pillars is to improve retention. The first thing you want to do is complete a SWOT analysis.

In human beings, the gene for red green colorblindness (r) is sex linked and recessive to its allele for normal vision (R), while the gene for freckles (F) is autosomal and dominant over its allele for nonfreckled (f). A nonfreckled, normal visioned woman whose father was freckled and colorblind, marries a freckled, colorblind man whose mother was nonfreckled.

a. What is the genotype of the woman's father? b. What is the probability that the couple's first child will be a non-freckled, normal visioned girl c. What is the probability that the first two children born to the couple will be freckled and colorblind girls? d. What is the probability that the first child born to the couple will either be a freckled, colorblind boy or a non freckled, normal visioned girl or a non-freckled, normal visioned boy e. What is the probability that the first four children born to the couple will be freckled and normal visioned girls?

The average resistivity of the human body (apart from surface resistance of the skin) is about 5.0 Ω⋅mΩ⋅m. The conducting path between the right and left hands can be approximated as a cylinder 1.6 mm long and 0.10 mm in diameter. The skin resistance can be made negligible by soaking the hands in salt water. If skin resistance is negligible, what potential difference between the hands is needed for a lethal shock current of 100 mAmA? (Your result shows that even small potential differences can produce dangerous currents when the skin is damp.)

Human blood is largely divided in to four blood groups (A, B, AB, and O) and also (separately) into             Rh-positive and Rh-negative. (There are also some very rare blood groupings, such as Mumbai, Lutheran, Kell, and Kipp.) This is very important in medicine, since a person may die or suffer serious harm if they receive a transfusion from an incompatible donor. According to the Stanford University School of Medicine Blood Center, the distribution of blood groups/types in the United States is as follows:

Blood Group

A

B

AB

0

Total

RH factor positive

714

170

68

748

RH factor negative

126

30

12

132

Total

Complete the table by filling in the “total” row and the “total” column.

Calculate P(blood group O)

Calculate P( Group O and Rh positive)

Calculate P( Group O or Rh-negative)

Calculate P( Group O and Rh-negative )

Calculate P( not group A)   

Calculate P( Rh factor negative | group O )

Is being blood group O independent of being Rh factor negative?
