Communicate how your organization handled a recent hire. How did those involved in recruitment select the worker for the position?

Assume a market index represents the common factor and all stocks in the economy have a beta of 1. Firm-specific returns all have a standard deviation of 34%.

Suppose an analyst studies 20 stocks and finds that one-half have an alpha of 2.1%, and one-half have an alpha of –2.1%. The analyst then buys $1.4 million of an equally weighted portfolio of the positive-alpha stocks and sells short $1.4 million of an equally weighted portfolio of the negative-alpha stocks.

a. What is the expected return (in dollars), and what is the standard deviation of the analyst’s profit? (Enter your answers in dollars not in millions. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to the nearest dollar amount.)

b-1. How does your answer change if the analyst examines 50 stocks instead of 20? (Enter your answer in dollars not in millions. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest dollar amount.)

Standard deviation            $

b-2. How does your answer change if the analyst examines 100 stocks instead of 20? (Enter your answer in dollars not in millions.)

Workshop: SQL Simple Retrieval For this workshop, you are to submit the SQL statements. Do not submit the output produced by running the query. However, you may wish to examine the output to ensure the correctness of the query. When writing a query, do not rely exclusively on the current content of the database. Remember that when working with a real-world company’s database there can be far too many rows to allow you to visually examine the content of a table and validate your query. The following exercises all pertain to the FACULTY table. This table has the following columns: FNO, FNAME, FADDR, FHIRE_DATE, FNUM_DEP, FSALARY, and FDEPT. The table is owned by the user STUDENT.

1. Display the entire FACULTY table.

2. Display all information about any employee whose yearly salary is less than $40000.

3. Display all information about any employee who is employed by the Computer and Information Systems (CIS) Department.

4. Display the department, faculty number, and name of all faculty members.

5. Display the name and date of hire for any faculty member whose department alphabetically precedes THEO.

6. Display the departments to which faculty are assigned. Do not show duplicate values.

7. Display the name and salary of any employee earning less than $36000. Present the result set such that the highest paid employee is listed first, the second highest is listed next, and so on - that is, show the result with salaries in descending sequence.

8. Display the department, employee name, and salary for every employee. The output should be presented such that rows are arranged by salary within department. (Employees assigned to the same department will appear next to each other, but these rows will be sorted by salary.)

1. Write a program that includes a function search() that finds the index of the first

element of an input array that contains the value specified. n is the size of the array. If

no element of the array contains the value, then the function should return -1. Name your

program .C The program takes an int array, the number of elements in the array,

and the value that it searches for. The main function takes input, calls the

search()function, and displays the output.

int search(int a[], int n, int value);

Example input/output #1:

Enter the length of the array: 4

Enter the elements of the array: 8 2 3 9

Enter the value for searching: 3

Output: 2

Example input/output #2:

Enter the length of the array: 6

Enter the elements of the array: 4 7 1 0 3 9

Enter the value for searching: 5

Output: -1

2. Modify the part 1 program so that it deletes all instances of the value from the array. As

part of the solution, write and call the function delete() with the following

prototype. n is the size of the array. The function returns the new size of the array after

deletion (The array after deletion will be the same size as before but the actual elements

are the elements from index 0 to new_size-1). In writing function delete(), you may

include calls to function search(). The main function takes input, calls the

delete()function, and displays the output. Name your program .C

int delete(int a[], int n, int value);

Example input/output #1:

Enter the length of the array: 6

Enter the elements of the array: 4 3 1 0 3 9

Enter the value for deleting: 3

Output array:

Janet Johnson, an African American woman, has been working at the Tennessee Hydroelectric plant for 15 years. During that time, his performance reviews have been exemplary. She decided to apply for the new plant foreman position. Although she felt that she was eminently qualified for the position, she also was growing tired of a certain good old boy culture at the plant. For years, the plant has had a culture of highly lewd “jokes,” and many of the employees had also engaged in inappropriate touching of female employees. The plant had an anti-harassment policy on record, but Janet’s boss shrugged and said “boys will be boys” when she reported the harassment to him.

Competition for the position was fierce. But ultimately, Jose Martinez, a Chilean man, received the position. Jose had 7 years of experience. Unbeknownst to the applicants the promotion board secretly ran a credit check on the applicants. Janet credit score came in as lower as average, and this factored into the board’s decision. Although he met the qualifications of the position, one of the hiring managers told Janet in confidence that Janet was the most qualified person for the job. And the other managers had applied a racial preference on Jose’s behalf due to there never having been a Latino manager at the plant even though Latino’s represented 35% of employees at the plant. Janet sues the plant for disparate treatment, disparate impact, and sexual harassment under Title VII.


Questions

1. List the elements of disparate treatment and apply them to this case. Can Janet prove a prima facie case? How would the plant rebuff these charges? Who would ultimately prevail?
2. List the elements of a disparate impact case and apply them to this case? Will Janet prevail on this charge?
3. List the elements of the sexual harassment case and apply them to this case? Can the plant establish an affirmative defense?
4. If the plant argues that it applied a racial preference to Jose to correct a manifest imbalance at the plant of underutilization of certain minorities, will the plant prevail? Why or why not?
5. Was it legal to use the credit check as a factor in the promotion decision the way that it was done here? Why or why not?

Step 1) Following the steps from prior weeks, add a new page to your website. Save this new page as AboutUs.html. Make sure that the name of the page does not have a space (see the screenshot below of the Save dialogue box).

Step 2) Add the <body> tag, navigation, and <header> tag. The header <h1> text should say “About Us”.

Hint: Refer to Week Three, Steps 3, 4, and 5 for a refresher on how to add these elements.

Step 3) Add a link to the external CSS page.

Hint: Refer to Week Three, Step 8 for a refresher on how to add the link to the MyStyle.css page.

Step 4) Save your page and open it in a web browser, such as IE or Chrome. Your page should render like the image below with the header and the navigation on the top right of the page.

Step 5) Add a <div> tag between the closing </header> and closing </body> tags. To avoid confusion with <div> tags that you will add later, name this tag “div1”.

<div name="div1">

</div>

Step 6) Add a new file folder named media to the folder where you’ve chosen to save your Week Five files (the screenshot below shows your file structure with the media folder in the same place as your HTML and CSS files).

Step 7) Copy the file named Swiss_Mountain_House.mp4 to the “media” folder.

Note: It’s important that you have the legal right to use any and all media files you add to web pages; you automatically own all rights to media files you created yourself, most other files you must obtain permission from the owner of the file. Some copyright owners grant free use of their work just for asking. Websites that offer free media files will state on their site that the files are royalty free. Never use someone else’s work without being sure you have the right to do so. In this case, your instructor has ensured you have the right to use these files.

Step 8) Within the opening <div> and closing <div> tags for “div1”, add the following code to add a video clip to your AboutUs.html page:

<video width="400px" controls>

   <source src="media/Swiss_Mountain_House.mp4" type="video/mp4">

   Use a browser (such as IE or Chrome) that supports the HTML5 video tag for mp4 files.

</video>

Note: The source “src” tag for the path is pointing to the media folder. The line under the <source> tag is verbiage that the user may see if the browser is not compatible with the HTML5 video tag, or if the file is missing. All browsers behave differently, but it is a good practice to provide the alternate text.

Step 9) Add the following HTML comment on the line above the beginning <video> tag. Note the syntax that delineates the start and stop of the HTML comment. The HTML interpreter will ignore everything between the opening and closing comment tags so you only see this comment when you look at the source. Notice that the HTML comment syntax is different from the JavaScript^® comment syntax.

<!-- Royalty-free video loops are from https://www.freeloops.tv/ -->

Step 10) Save and refresh the browser. Your page should render like the image below with an embedded video file below the header.

Step 11) Click the play arrow to test the 5-second video.

Note: There is no audio with this video.

Step 12) Copy the files named Cow-SoundBible.mp3 and Cow-SoundBible.wav to the “media” folder.

Step 13) Add a second <div> tag (named “div2”) after the closing </div> tag for “div1”, but before the closing </body> tag. Insert the <article> and <audio> element code below. Note that the source “src” tag for the path is pointing to the media folder and there is also a comment above the opening <audio> tag.

        <div name="div2">

<article >

Our cheese products come from the finest farms in Switzerland. Click the audio play button below to hear our happy cows!

</article>

<!-- Royalty-free sound clips are from http://soundbible.com/ -->

<audio controls >

   <source src="media/Cow-SoundBible.mp3" type="audio/mpeg">

   <source src="media/Cow-SoundBible.wav" type="audio/wav">

   <source src="media/Cow-SoundBible.ogg" type="audio/ogg">

   Your browser does not support the audio tag.

</audio>

        </div>

Step 14) Save and refresh the browser. The page will render like the image below with text and the embedded sound file below the video. Press the audio play arrow to test the audio.

Note:In Step 14, the line under the <source> tag is verbiage that users may see if their browsers are not compatible with the HTML5 audio tag, or if the audio files are missing. To simulate this situation, comment out the two lines for the MP3 and WAV files. When your interpreter cannot see the two commented-out lines, it will only read the file for the OGG file. Since that file is missing, your browser will either show the alternate text, or disable the audio control. All browsers behave differently, but providing these options allows different browsers to handle the situation gracefully. Without these options, a browser might display a broken link to a sound file with no explanation, which would confuse your users and give them the impression that your site is poorly constructed. Remember that in HTML the beginning comment tag is <!-- and the closing comment tag is -->. If you tested the missing file scenario above, be sure to uncomment the lines that point to the MP3 and WAV files.

Step 15) To float “div1” and “div2” side-by-side, use the "myColumns" CSS class from Week One to both <div> tags. Save your file after you are finished. The modified opening <div> tags will look like this:

<div name="div1" class="myColumns">

<div name="div2" class="myColumns">

Step 16) Open the MyStyle.css page in NotePad++. Add the following code to the end of the existing code, right after the closing curly brace } for the myColumns block, as follows:

.aboutUsMedia {

            width: 250px;

}

Step 17) Back in the AboutUs.html page, modify the opening <video>, opening <article> tag, and opening <audio> tags.

Note: The “aboutUsMedia” class will replace the “width” attribute for the <video> tag.

1. Remove the width="400px" statement from the opening <video> tag and replace it with the class="aboutUsMedia" statement. The code will look like the example line below:

<video class="aboutUsMedia" controls>

2. Add the class="aboutUsMedia" statement to the opening <article> and opening <audio> tags, as follows:

<article class="aboutUsMedia">

<audio class="aboutUsMedia" controls >

Step 18) Save and refresh the browser. The <video> tag, <article> tag, and <audio> tag are all resized to a width of 250px, and the two <div> tags are now floating side-by-side as shown in the image below.

Step 19) Add the following <footer> code between the closing </body> tag and the closing </html> tag:

<footer>

Click

<a href="https://www.nationalgrocers.org/" target="_blank">here</a>

to learn more about the National Grocers Association.

</footer>

Step 20) To push the <footer> to the bottom of the page, and to stop the floating of the footer to the right, add the following to the end of your MyStyle.css page.

footer {

            clear:both; /* this clears the float */

            display: block;

            position: absolute;

            bottom: 0;

            left: 0;

            right: 0;

background-color: lightgray;

text-align: center;

}

Step 21) Save your file and refresh it in the browser window. Your page should render like the image below with a formatted footer at the bottom of the page that includes a link. To test the external link, click the “here” hyperlink in the footer at the bottom of the page. The external page will open in a new window.

Note: Be sure to save all the files, as you modified the AboutUs.html and MyStyle.css files in the prior steps.
