...Unit 2 DB Subjective Probability “ A probability derived from an individual's personal judgment about whether a specific outcome is likely to occur. Subjective probabilities contain no formal calculations and only reflect the subject's opinions and past experience.” (investopedia.com, 2013) There are three elements of a probability which combine to equal a result. There is the experiment ,the sample space and the event (Editorial board, 2012). In this case the class is the experiment because the process of attempting it will result in a grade which could vary from an A to F. The different grades that can be achieved in the class are the sample space. The event or outcome is the grade that will be received at the end of the experiment. I would like to achieve an “A” in this class but due to my lack of experience in statistical analysis, my hesitation towards advanced mathematics, and the length of time it takes for me to complete my course work a C in this class may be my best result. I have a 1/9 chance or probability to receive an “A” in the data range presented to me which is (A,A-,B,B-,C,C-,D,D- AND F). By the grades that have been posted I would say that the other students have a much better chance of receiving a better grade than mine. I have personally use subjective probability in my security guard business in bidding on contracts based on the clients involved , the rates that I charge versus the rates other companies charge and the amount of work involved...

...Grade Received, "A" Beliefs and values, norms, folkways, and mores, and subcultures are the basic elements of an organizational culture (Fottler, Ford, & Heaton, 2010). I feel that an employee should be fired if they do not meet the organization’s organizational culture. We all know that every individual has his/her own beliefs; however, if the person does not match the beliefs and values of the organization, problems can arise. If an organization says that they are focused on their consumers and when the employees interact with consumers they are rude and inconsiderate, the consumer may not return. I worked in a nursing home as a CNA for almost two years. Our patients all were elderly and had Down’s syndrome. Our organizational culture was to treat each patient with dignity and respect, as well as giving each patient their right to privacy. We were all trained on these beliefs, as well as all of the HIPAA rules. Our facility hired a young girl to work the floor as a CNA as well. I caught her making fun of one of our consumers with one of her friends. I turned her in, and she was fired on the spot, no questions asked. Like I stated before, I do believe that an employee should be terminated if they do not meet the organization’s culture. I also believe, however, that if the employee is trained properly, they should have a chance to get their attitudes in check. Once given that second chance, if they still do not meet the organization’s culture, then they should...

...Grade Received, "A" Within healthcare, there are several types of abuse. Some of these types of abuse include: emotional and verbal abuse, financial abuse, physical abuse, sexual abuse, psychological abuse, etc (Fremgen, 2012). Although abuse not only happens in the healthcare setting, I will be focusing on abuse in a hospital setting. In this assignment, I will focus on abuse in a mental hospital. This happens a lot more often than one would think. The type of abuse within the scenario I am about to present is sexual, physical, and psychological. A young woman is admitted into a mental hospital for depression, and she is beaten and raped by two of the orderly men that work there. Once the girl is released from the mental hospital, she becomes very depressed, and reaches out to local police to report the attack and rape. The police then become very concerned about her state of mind, and end up transferring her back to the same psychological facility. Once she arrives, she is restrained to the bed, and diagnosed as being suicidal. An ITO is ordered, and against her will, she is given medication. After she spends three weeks in this hospital, she is discharged to her parents; however, the treatment that she was given in the psychological facility is continued at her parent’s house as well. The girl begins to find it difficult to study her lessons, and her grades begin to go from As to Fs. The medication makes it hard for her to concentrate and comprehend her lessons...

...The URL address to the ad that I will be discussing is: http://advertisementfun.blogspot.com/2011/06/sprite-ice-blue.html The advertisement that I have chosen is for the beverage Sprite Ice Blue. This is a new product recently created by Sprite. I feel that the intent of this advertisement is to satisfy a need, or in this case, the consumer need for a cold thirst-quenching beverage (Lambing & Kuehl, 2007) (Sprite Ice Blue, 2011). I feel that the advertisement was alright, and that it would grab the attention of the consumer that saw the ad. I feel that the ad is effective because it depicts a young female that seems to be frozen and happy all at the same time. This shows consumers that drinking Sprite Ice Blue is cool, cold, and exciting to our taste buds (Sprite Ice Blue, 2011). This Sprite Ice Blue ad targets the teenage to young adult generations. The lifestyle for these generations is usually easy-going and fun-filled. With an ad like this, the targeted social class would more than likely vary. I feel like it would target both the middle and lower classes. I don’t see the upper class people paying much attention to an ad of this nature. The persuasive technique being used in the ad is humor as well as shock appeal. When I first saw the ad, I actually laughed out loud. This ad shows a female that is frozen solid and sticking her blue tongue out. The shock appeal is the way that the female looks, and the humorous part is that she is frozen and is sticking out...

...Financial ratios are significant in terms of comprehending how a business is doing financially. My co-workers and I are working for a finance business and we have been talking about the advantages of the different financial ratios. Our job is to name four different financial ratios and why they are significant to both banks and investors. The business that I have chosen to discuss is the Coca-Cola Company. As I was investigating their Website as well as the investors’ part of the Website, I came across Coca-Cola’s financial documents for 2008. The documents that I came across included: income statements, balance sheets, as well as the cash flow statements. While calculating the market value ratio for Coca-Cola, the P.E. ratio is 22.02, and the market to book value ratio is simply a scope of how costly stocks are (Brooks, 2010) (Financial Statements, n.d.). The larger that the price earnings ratio is, the more we have to pay for every dollar earned. The larger the market to book value is, the more we have to pay for every dollar of equity we have written on a balance sheet. As stated before, the price earnings ratio was 22.02 (Financial Statements, n.d.). This demonstrates that Coca-Cola is expanding a lot quicker than their competition. Due to the market to book value being 6.61, Coca-Cola can have an idea of how advantageous they are, and whether or not they are using their assets wisely (Financial Statements, n.d.). Next, I will discuss Coca-Cola’s profitability...
