Felix Baumgartner, an Austrian skydiver and daredevil, made history’s highest and fastest jump. After ascending to more than 128,000 feet in capsule tethered to a helium balloon, Baumgartner jumped and became the first human to break the sound barrier as he fell at a rate of 833 miles per hour and had a free-fall of more than 4 minutes.

The event was sponsored and funded by Red Bull – a company known for pushing the envelope of crazy and risky sports.The company doesn’t consider this a stunt though, preferring to characterize the program as a professional flight test program. Red Bull spent more than five years on the project with an expert staff of scientists, engineers, and physicians – many of whom had experience with NASA programs. The cost to Red Bull has not been disclosed, but estimates on the return to the company in regards to visibility, branding, and goodwill tops $8 billion.

Why do companies sponsor events – oftentimes events that seem to have little to do with their products?

What do companies gain? What do they risk?

How does the Stratos project fit with the Red Bull brand and target market? How does it fit with other promotional tools used by Red Bull?

SHOW ALL WORK

I am going to install a slot in the VIP lounge of my casino. A coin is inserted and a button is pressed. The screen reveals 3 colored circles (on the left, middle, and right side respectively). Each of the colored circles will be purple, red, blue, black, white independently with P[purple]=P[red]=P[white]=P[blue] = 0.5P[Black]. The payoff is as follows:

circles reward (coins)

3 white 5000

3 blue 1000

3 purple 100

3 red 6

2 red/1 non-red 4

1 red/2 non-red 2

all other results 0

a) Calculate the probability of each of the patterns occurring.

b) Calculate the player's expected gain.

Part II. Legal Counsel

During the past eight weeks, we have discussed and emphasized the importance of the Clean owners seeking business advice from TLG and the importance of Clean - and every business - seeking legal counsel from an attorney for various aspects of business operations.

In Part II, you are to reflect on your experience in consulting with the Clean owners, your research and analysis, and make the following recommendations.  

A. Evaluate and explain why you recommend that the Clean owners seek legal counsel with an attorney for any - or all - aspects of its business operations, i.e., contract writing, procedures to protect against negligence risks, recruitment policies, etc.

• Explain and support the rationale for your recommendation specifically, in detail and comprehensively, using examples, personal experience(s), etc.
• Consider specific areas of business operations for which it is particularly important to seek legal counsel

Note: There is no single correct answer; the detailed, specific rationale and support for your recommendation is most important.  

It is not necessary to cite resources in Part II for your personal opinion, but you must include a citation each time you do use information from a specific resource (i.e., from assigned course materials) to support your conclusions.

Describe in detail the intrusion detection and prevention measures that you will deploy in your organization. Your discussion should also include the following:

Describe in detail the intrusion detection and prevention measures that you will deploy in your organization. Your discussion should also include the following:

[T3.1] IDS type and why you will need it

[T3.2] IPS type and why you will need it

[T3.3] The proposal of the appropriate positions for IDS/IPS in a network topology in order to increase the security of the environment,

along with providing supportive justifications of the proposed positions.

In a clinical trial, 401,974 adults were randomly assigned to two groups. The treatment group consisted of 201,229 adults given a vaccine and the other 200,745 adults were given a placebo. Among the adults in the treatment group, 33 adults developed the disease and among the placebo group, 115 adults developed the disease. The doctors' claim that the rate for the group receiving the vaccine is less than the group receiving the placebo. Answer the following questions:

a. If w idenitfy the symbolic null and alternative hypothesis.

b. If the P-value for this test is reported as "less than 0.001", what is your decision? What would you conclude about the original claim?

c. Assume that we want to use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that p1 < p2. If we want to test that claim by using a confidence interval, what confidence level should we use?

d. If we test the original claim, we get the confidence interval -0.000508 < p1 - p2 < −0.000309 , what does this confidence interval suggest about the claim? e. In general, when dealing with inferences for two population proportions, which two of the following are equivalent: Confidence Interval method; P-value method; Critical Value method? Explain.

One criticism of the interest and fixed charges coverage ratios as measures of long-term solvency risk is that they use earnings rather than cash flows in the numerator. Detail how the interest coverage ratio and fixed charges coverage ratio are calculated. In addition, discuss why using earnings in the numerator is a problem and what method could be used to alleviate this problem.

Activity A, Task 1: Discussion Questions (10/50 points):

1. You should have observed output lines that were NOT always printed in integer order. This is because the code as written has a critical section that is being simultaneously run by more than one thread. What lines of the sample code constitute the critical section? You can cut and paste those lines into your answer, or you can type them in.  

2. Thread safety (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thread_safety) is a concept often used when discussing subroutines or other code segments that are written in such way that they can be “multiply run” as parts of multiple threads that are being scheduled concurrently or otherwise multiprogrammed. Do you think that the function _printf() is thread safe? Do some research and/or run some code experiments and provide a brief, but complete, answer that explains your view on the subject. Be sure to explain why you hold your position on the subject, no matter what that is.

What are the parts of the Respiratory System?

List one Disease of the Respiratory System. Give detail of what it is and list the ICD-10-CM Code for it.

Construct a Case Study for a Patient using the Respiratory System. You will come up with a least a paragraph detail of the patient incident with the Respiratory System. You will list an ICD-10-CM Code, CPT Code, and a HCPCS Code for the Case Scenario. Next to the codes that you list you must list the description of the code.
