Many organizations look for ways to promote diversity through family-friendly policies. Using the online library, your textbook, or the web, look for a company that is incorporating family-friendly policies into their human resource management strategy (motivating, disciplining, managing conflict, staffing, and training). Your initial post should answer the following questions:

1. What is the name company? List the company’s website.
2. What are its policies?
3. How do these policies attract and keep workers?
4. Do these policies interest you? Why?
5. How might they make their policies more attractive to workers?

Include in your answer: a. the definitions of (1) stress, (2) strain, (3) stiffness, (4) plastic, (5) elastic and (6) strength while comparing spider silk protein and synthetically produced nylon and rayon b. physical principles of terrestrial locomotion and the advantages conferred by various adaptations of legs and arrangements of tendons and muscles c. the differences in locomotory patterns of the cat, horse, giraffe, and human and how architecture contributes to the “spring in your step”

QUESTION 19 A standard slot machine like this one (link) has three wheels that turn independently with various symbols on them. Almost all slot machines now are controlled by computers that generate random numbers corresponding to certain winning and losing combinations of symbols. In the early days of slot machines, pulling the lever or "arm" to start spinning the wheels actually allowed the gambler to interact with the mechanics of the machine (thereby opening the door to all kinds of odd good-luck rituals). Now, slot machine outcomes "play by wire," in that pulling the lever does not actually making anything move, but rather just sends a signal to the computer to generate a random number corresponding to a particular outcome. Now, to the actual problem. Suppose each wheel in a slot machine has 10 symbols that are equally likely to come up: four "BAR" symbols; three lemons, two cherries, and one bell. You decide to play one time. What is the probability that all three lemons will appear, to three decimal places? Hint: What is P(Lemon) on any one wheel? Also, don't forget to assume that each wheel turns independently of the others.

QUESTION 8 A quality control inspector receives a box of 3 items. Unknown to him, 1 of the items is defective. He draws two items from the box, one after the other, without replacing the first part drawn before drawing the second part. What is the sample space in terms of defective (D) and acceptable (A) parts? Hint: Distinguish between two parts that are acceptable or two parts that are defective by using subscripts. For example, two acceptable parts could be identified as A1 and A2.

S = {DA1, DA2}

S = {DA1, DA2, A1A2}

S = {DA1, DA2, A1A2, A2D}

S = {D1A1, D2A2, A1A2, D1D2}

S = {D,DA,DAA,DAAA,DAAA,...}

QUESTION 5 Suppose that the experiment is asking 5 students at SHSU what their classification is (either freshman, sophomore, junior, senior, or graduate), one after the other. How many outcomes would be in the sample space S?
