This week I'd like for us to discuss the different styles of punishment in schools. Many parents/teachers are worried about the state of discipline in schools these days (e.g., kids acting up in class, bullying, bringing guns to school).

List 1 style of punishment (e.g., time out) that is used in preschool and kindergarten classrooms. This style can be one you have seen, one you use, one you've heard of, anything!

Then answer the following questions:

• Is this punishment an effective tool for discipline?
• Is it a nurturing style of punishment? (For example, it may be effective but seem cruel, or it may be nurturing and not effective, or it may be both effective and nurturing.)
• Would you engage in this punishment style as a teacher?
• In general, do you think teachers are too permissive or too strict?

State which sampling design should be used in the following situations, and justify your reasoning:

i. You need to collect statistics on types of software applications used by employees of a company. Separate lists of employees are available classified by job categories.

ii. Patients arriving at an emergency room facility are to be sampled to study their demographics, type of injury, etc. It is decided to sample 10% of the patients.

iii. An engineering school plans to conduct a mail survey of its alumni who graduated after 1980 to collect data on their current employment status. A complete alphabetical list of the alumni is available.

iv. A national sample of college students is to be taken, but a comprehensive list of all college students doesn't exist. A list of all colleges (private and public) exists. For any particular college, a list of all students can be obtained.

On a planet far far away from Earth, IQ of the ruling species is normally distributed with a mean of 105 and a standard deviation of 14. Suppose one individual is randomly chosen. Let X = IQ of an individual.

a. What is the distribution of X? X ~ N(,)

b. Find the probability that a randomly selected person's IQ is over 97. Round your answer to 4 decimal places.

c. A school offers special services for all children in the bottom 4% for IQ scores. What is the highest IQ score a child can have and still receive special services? Round your answer to 2 decimal places.

d. Find the Inter Quartile Range (IQR) for IQ scores. Round your answers to 2 decimal places.

Match the defense mechanism with the example.

Bob frequently becomes angry with his boss, but never expresses that anger. Instead, Bob goes to the gym after work every day and works out. Bob is probably using the defense mechanism __________.

The sch of technology, art, and design STAD is considering buying a package machine for its Engineering Technology program. it is expected that this machine will generate a revenue for the school through several projects and partnership with local companies. it is estimated that the net profit in the first year will be $75000 and decreasing at the rate of $10000 for the next five years after that profit stays constant at $7000 until the end of its time life (10 years). if interest rate is 10%, determine the amount of money that the STAD can invest on this machine.
assume there is no salvage value of the machine.

year 2-------$180,000
year 3-------$160,000
year 4-------$140,000
year 5-------$120,000
year 6-------$100,000
year 7-------$80,000
year8-------$60,000

1. Working with Stairs: Proficiency with laying out stairs and proportioning their treads and risers, even at times under seeming impossible circumstances, is an indispensable skill for the designer of buildings. For this exercise, review pages 288 through 289 (proportioning stairs) of the text for the information you will need.

1. Calculate numbers and dimensions of treads and risers for the following stairs. Show all calculations:

1. Exit stair for a school, total rise 12’ – 8”.

Number of Risers __________

Riser Height _______________

Numbers of treads ___________

Depth of treads ___________

2. Main stair in a single family resident, total rise 8’ – 11 ½”

Number of Risers __________

Riser Height _______________

Numbers of treads ___________

Depth of treads ___________

3. Exterior entrance steps to a courthouse, total rise 4’ – 9”.

Number of Risers __________

Riser Height _______________

Numbers of treads ___________

Depth of treads ___________

1. If you were in charge of manufacturing operations and you knew you could cut costs, but doing so would have an adverse impact on the environment, what would you do?
2. How important is sustainability to you now or was it before ?
3. As a business student and community leader, what do you think you can do to practice sustainability in your home, at school or the community you reside within?
4. Is the Triple Bottom Line theory truly achievable or should business students focus on profit only? Is this concept important to you?
5. Do you intend on choosing products in which companies practice sustainability?
6. Are we as consumers part of the problem, if we buy goods mindlessly without considering the potential environmental problems behind the packaging, the product, the environmental waste?
7. Is sustainability an issue of ethics?  Why or why not?

SIS is a management information system for education departments used to manage student data. SIS provide capabilities for registering students in courses; documenting results of student tests and other assessment scores; building student schedules; tracking student attendance; and managing many other student-related data needs in a school or universities.

In this regard, you are asked to do some research about SIS, select one of the aspects that managed by SIS and then design two database tables about this aspect [14 marks] and another database table that represents a relation between the previous two tables [6 marks]. For each table you need to:

1. Define the objective(s) of the table.
2. Design at least five fields for the table; data type and size.

3.Determine the primary key of the table.

On a planet far far away from Earth, IQ of the ruling species is normally distributed with a mean of 119 and a standard deviation of 15. Suppose one individual is randomly chosen. Let X = IQ of an individual. a. What is the distribution of X? X ~ N( 119 , 15 ) b. Find the probability that a randomly selected person's IQ is over 113. Round your answer to 4 decimal places. c. A school offers special services for all children in the bottom 2% for IQ scores. What is the highest IQ score a child can have and still receive special services? Round your answer to 2 decimal places. d. Find the Inter Quartile Range (IQR) for IQ scores. Round your answers to 2 decimal places. Q1: Q3: IQR:
