P(A1) = 3/10 = 0.3 The probability of P(A1) is 0.3/10 b. P(B1/A2) = 2/6 / 1/3 = 0.33/0.33 = 1 The probability of P(b1/A2) is 1/10 c. P(B0/A0) = 0/0 = 0 The probability of P(b0 and A0) is zero 44. Berdine’s Chicken Factory has several stores in the Hilton Head, South Carolina, area. When interviewing applicants for server positions, the owner would like to include information on the amount of tip a server can expect to earn per check (or bill). A study of 500 recent checks indicated the server earned the following amounts in tips per 8-hour shift. Amount of Tip Number $0 up to $ 20 200 20 up to 50 100 50 up to 100 75 100 up to 200 75 200 or more 50 Total 500 a. What is the probability of a tip of $200 or more? .10 or 10% b. Are the categories “$0 up to $20,” “$20 up to $50,” and so on considered mutually exclusive? They are mutually exclusive because the 0-20 does no effect on the 20-50 group. One group has no causal...

...Simon sometimes tastes or senses the medication in his food and spits them out, but sometimes the medication goes undetected. He always wonders why he feels tired most of the time without doing any activities that may cause such feelings. Covert medication is described by Kala (2012, p. 1) as, ‘the practice of hiding medication in food or beverages so that it goes undetected by the person receiving the medication.’ Latha (2010) states that covert medication is one of the greatest challenges for healthcare professionals. The report goes on to state that healthcare professionals often covertly medicate service users because they refuse to take their prescribed medication when offered. In addition, the Royal College of Psychiatrists (2011) reported...

For appropriate amount of glue to be applied, the robot should run at a constant speed of 200m/s during application. Before doing that the tip of the robot should be filled with glue at filling station/part.

...I believe that being a Resident Assistant is far more than just a job that requires monitoring a floor or even unlocking doors, those things are only the tip of the iceberg. To be a Resident Assistant means to be a role model, an advisor, a therapist, a problem solver, and a great deal of other responsibilities are expected of such a person. Even though this is my first semester at Governors State University and I am considered a new student here, I am not new to college. My first experience with learning what a Resident Assistant was, was when I attended SIU in Edwardsville, during my freshman year of college. My RA that year was very personable and down to earth. She made certain hours throughout the day available in her room, if a student needed to ask questions, share comments, or even make suggestions. She also hosted different miniature gatherings on the floor, so we could get to know our fellow peers. Those encounters with my RA at the time, inspired me to want to be in a position where I could contribute to or even create that same environment for other students. When I saw the opportunity posted to become a Resident Assistant at GSU, I was eager to apply. I feel that my personal experiences and challenges I have faced during my years of college and the way I have recovered from those experiences, shows adversity, goal-orientation, and determination. I am willing to shed light on those experiences and help other incoming students who may struggle with getting acclimated...

...bambooimport.com A short film commissioned by INBAR for the World Expo in Shanghai, profiling bamboo - and its many innovative uses as a strong, lightweight, sustainable, carbon capturing material, including surfboards, bikes and building materials. The challenges we face today is to further improve and innovate the uses of bamboo. Since bamboo is the fastest growing plant on earth and a sustainable building material, it could easily substitute all known wood applications without having to cut down entire bamboo groves or plantations. Better yet, bamboo continuously grows after harvest without having to re-plant it. Bamboo also converts about 35% more CO2 into oxygen than a regular tree. The bamboo products we see on the market today, are just the tip of the iceberg, we predict that more and more innovative bamboo applications will enter the consumer markets rapidly. Therefore it is an exciting era to live in if you are also a firm believer of how bamboo can contribute to a greener and cleaner environment. We can't change our consumption based economy, but we can certainly change the resources we use and the way we manufacture our products! Below is a list of common uses for bamboo. Please note that not all bamboo species are suited for every single application. Some species are edible while most are not, some can be used as structural timber while other only...

...Tho Pham ESL 51 First Draft Tip or Not? It is a beautiful Sunday night; your family chooses a famous Italian restaurant in the area to have dinner. As you are very pleased with the service, you decide to write down 20% of the bill to give to the waitress as tips. This happens every day around the country. Although there are some dissidents of this long-standing tipping custom whose reason is tipping provokes conflict between servers, tipping should continue because it gives servers an incentive to work hard. In America’s restaurants, the custom is giving a 15% tip (To Insure Promptitude) to the servers. Every year 42 billion dollars of tips were granted to American servers, whose income greatly depends on tips. Recently a manager of a famed California restaurant, Jay Porter, decided to prohibit tipping. The price then included the tip, which is 18%, 15% of which belonged to the servers and the rest went to the kitchen staff. Research reveals that 80% of American diners favor tipping as they think tips incentivize servers to do good service and they feel guilty being served. From 10% in the early 20th century, the tipping rate has increased to18.9% today. While most of Mr. Porter’s customers accept the new policy, very few diners were still obliged to tip and that money went to the charity. Nonetheless, Porter’s restaurant is the only pioneer in the area and it will not likely draw many followers. Some opponents of tipping say that tipping does not create incentive but...

It is a small, friendly restaurant that is quiet easy to miss except for it's huge sign in the parking lot. It's the perfect place to dine if you like Italian cuisine. It sits just across from Columbia College and is convenient for the campus students and staff. It's interior is gorges with its vintage type theme in the artwork that hangs on the walls. The restaurant buzzed with excitement and energy and quickly filled with seemingly satisfied customers. The noise level was appropriate for the number of guest that were in pleasant conversation. This restaurant was a selection of ours as we were given the task of performing a restaurant review. Our party of guests was a large one of about 10-12 including our English Professor Mrs. Hake. We were accommodated by tables that were neatly joined together with decorative cloths. The waitress introduced herself and offered drinks as we awaited the arrival of the rest of our party. I couldn't help but notice how clean the restaurant was and that the aroma was that of Italian seasoning. Silverware sat at your elbows neatly wrapped besides the menu that was placed at my fingertips. There were several selections ranging from Pizza, soup, salad and sandwiches, stuffed pasta, and baked entrees. My selection was the baked mostaccioli with the...

...The Tavistock Method: An In-Depth Analysis of Group Dynamics As a group, we decided that the first step was to agree upon a common goal and collaborate on how to achieve it. With no set guidelines to work within, what seemed like an easy task took us a bit of time to comprehend and complete. Even though we discussed other possible avenues, Marko posed that we create a fundraiser. There was much deliberation amongst the group, as Akila urged us to explore other options and not settle for the first good idea put on the table. However, it was decided that, due to time constraints, a fundraiser for veterans would give us the greatest opportunity to demonstrate both creativity and effectiveness seen in a successful group. The next progression was to figure out how we were going to pitch this fundraiser. After a series of practically unanimous discussions, we decided to create a “Tuff-Mudders” like event, with Mark’s enthusiasm leading the way. The fundraiser would be held exclusively on US college campuses, and included an obstacle course aimed at getting students, faculty, and surrounding areas’ participation. We would cover our operating costs, eighty percent of profits would go to the vets and, as an added incentive, the rest would be donated to the host school. Our creative side was fully exposed here, and the group members each stepped up to take on various operational roles to get this project off the ground. Simultaneously, the individual roles of a group presented...

...as the purpose of our workshop was to bring drama to an age group that might not have had a chance to experience it. Although our group was not on the same calibre as the groups that Boal's in the theatre of the oppressed it is still just as important for them to experience drama, “Even if they had all been homogeneous groups I feel that this introduction would have been necessary” (Boal,1992) this clearly shows that it is important that we use facilitation in this way. Although I missed a section of this module, due to health reasons, I feel that I have tried my best to put in an equal effort towards to outcome as my peers. I have tried to use my own experiences being a participant in workshops myself and also my experience being a facilitator at a local drama school to influence my decisions in the planning and development process. As I was working with children of a similar age, I felt that this influenced the way I worked in this module and gave me a better understanding of the target group and what they would find engaging. I have also offered my contribution in group discussions, which lead to Helen using an exercise that I had previously been a participant of and understood how it developed understanding of power and status. I also discussed with Michael ways in which he could make his exercise more inclusive as I...

...and for me, Larkins (2014) is very simplistic: Group facilitation is an important management skill that can really help a team achieve their goals in the most effective and constructive manner. The role of the facilitator is to help the group make progress and find their own solution in the easiest and most effective way. I will be looking at two cases of group facilitation undertaken during our recent module. In the first case (Case A), as a group we were tasked to agree upon a plan for a fictional charity in order to ‘generate more income’. In the second case (Case B), the group were tasked to come up with a solution to a specific issue concerning a member (issuer) of the group. In both cases, my role was that of being a set member. There are many facets to the role of being a facilitator and the International Association of Facilitators (IAF, 2003) has six core competencies, namely: Create Collaborative Client Relationships Plan Appropriate Group Processes Create and Sustain a Participatory Environment Guide Group to Appropriate and Useful Outcomes Build and Maintain Professional Knowledge Model Positive Professional Attitude The plethora of literature on facilitation looks at how important the following are: building relationships between the facilitator and the group, appropriate planning, ensuring the right environment, specific outcomes and goals, maintaining professional knowledge as well as being in tune with your self-awareness. They are like building blocks...

...article that I chose to review, Say What?, studies several popular talk show hosts in regards to the methodologies that are used to facilitate their television shows and identifies the findings to be a better facilitator. Although the article written by Charles Butler is older, as it was written in 1993, it provides an interesting perspective of the usage of facilitation and practical applications relevant to the class material. The following is a review of Butler’s article which focuses on the strengths and weaknesses of the content and correlates the authors’ findings to applications that could be used in meetings that I facilitate. Butler’s article examines four different styled television talk show hosts Geraldo Rivera, Maury Povich, Sally Jessy Raphael and Phil Donahue. He reviews each of their television program’s structure and uncovers independent facilitation focuses that each use to successfully interview and deliver a successful show. Butler reviews sample topics these celebrities present and some interfaces that occur on their shows by providing a backstage perspective, followed by an insight from each host. A summary of facilitation skills is included at the end of the article that identifies 14 skills and the role they play in being a good facilitator. The purpose of Butler’s article is to introduce the reader to different facilitation styles used in talk shows and demonstrate the importance that each host places in facilitating their talk shows. ...

...consider these to be the basic requirements that should be a must for the teacher – the rest of the requirements (/qualities) are a consequence of the way of being as person, or the schooling environment, as well as the culture of the students, willingness to study, capacity of staying focused, life experience, age, aso. Task 2 – State what you consider to be the five most important roles of a teacher. Describe each role and say why you think it is important. 1. Tutor; 2. Resource or facilitator; 3. Prompter; 4. Assessor; 5. Manager (and also controller on the same rank of importance). 1. Tutor: in my opinion, the tutor characteristic of a teacher is outstanding in front of the others roles. Why? Because it requires delivering the information while having a more personal approach than speaking to a group, or speaking on a general topic. Unlike the manager role, the student gets a different learning experience if approached in an individual and (a more) personal way. 2. Facilitator: this role implies maintaining a relatively close approach to the students, and in case...
