Men tend to have longer feet than women. So, if you find a really long footprint at the scene of a crime, then in the absence of any other evidence, you would probably conclude that the criminal was a man.

Men tend to have longer feet than women

Men tend to have longer feet than women. So, if you find a really long footprint at the scene of a crime, then in the absence of any other evidence, you would probably conclude that the criminal was a man. And conversely, if you find a really short footprint at the scene of a crime, then (again in the absence of any other information), you would probably conclude that the criminal was a woman. What is the probability that you will make a mistake?

Suppose that men’s foot lengths are normally distributed with mean 25 centimeters and standard deviation 4 centimeters, and women’s foot lengths are normally distributed with mean 19 centimeters and standard deviation 3 centimeters. Here is a sketch of the two curves:

Men vs. Women
A reasonable cut-off value for determining if a footprint belongs to a man or a woman is to split the difference: conclude that a footprint belongs to a man if it is longer than 22 centimeters (the midpoint of the means 19 and 25). We can compute the probability of mistakenly identifying the gender of footprints using normal probabilities, which are shown in the drawing below.
The probability of mistakenly identifying a man’s footprint as having come from a woman is the probability of observing a 22 cm or shorter footprint using the normal distribution for men (normalcdf(-1E99, 22, 25, 4) = 0.2266, the blue area in the drawing).

The probability of mistakenly identifying a woman’s footprint as having come from a man is the probability of observing a
22 cm or longer footprint using the normal distribution for women (normal cdf (22, 1E99, 19, 3) = 0.1587, the red area in the drawing).

What if, instead of 22 cm, they used your foot length as the cut-off? Determine the probabilities of mistakenly identifying a footprint in that case.

Sketch the two normal curves on the same axis, and label them (the curves and the axis) clearly. Measure your foot length in centimeters and plot that value on your sketch.

Compute the probability of mistakenly identifying a footprint as a man’s using your foot length as the cut-off. In other words, find the probability of obtaining a footprint of your length or shorter. Use the mean and standard deviation for men. Label this probability on your drawing. Include the calculator commands you used to compute the probability.

Compute the probability of mistakenly identifying a footprint as a woman’s using your footlength as the cut-off. In other words, find the probability of obtaining a footprint of your length or longer. Use the mean and standard deviation for women. Label this probability on your drawing. Include the calculator commands you used to compute the probability.

Suppose you want to change the probability of mistakenly identifying a footprint. Choose whether you want to change the probability of misidentifying a man’s footprint as a woman’s or misidentifying a woman’s footprint as a man’s. Choose the probability you want and determine the cut-off value that would satisfy your new probability. Hint: You need to find a data value from a given percent. Include the calculator commands you used to compute the cut-off value.

Comment on how changing the cut-off value affected the two kinds of error probabilities. Which one got bigger and which one got smaller? Explain why it makes sense that the probabilities changed as they did.

A case comment is a focused analysis of a decision. For this assignment, you must write case comment on one of two cases provided. Your paper should be written in full sentences and paragraphs.

A case comment is a focused analysis of a decision

A case comment is a focused analysis of a decision. For this assignment, you must write case comment on one of two cases provided. Your paper should be written in full sentences and paragraphs. Be sure to use proper citation references if you quote or borrow material from case law or other sources. Both cases can be found at the Supreme Court of Canada decisions website: https://scc-csc.lexum.com/scc-csc/en/nav.do. You can find hard copies of the case in any library that carries law reporters. Address each opinion produced by your chosen case.

Generally, however, you should emphasize the majority opinion of your chosen case. The most effective case comments generally engage in critique.

That is, the author evaluates an argument of his or her choosing and discusses the merits or demerits of the argument—is it a good argument?

For this assignment, keep your case comment simple. Your case comment will be complete if you do the following things: state the issue or issues that are the focus of the comment. Mention whatever facts are necessary to give context to the issue(s).

Firstly, discuss how the court decided the issue(s).

Secondly, discuss (briefly) any wider implications of the decision that you can determine.

Thirdly, provide a final, closing comment on whether you agree with the court’s decision, and give the reasons why.

Fourthly, your case comment doesn’t need to follow the exact order of the components above. Depending on your argument, a different ordering may promote a better logical flow.

However, if you do follow the order above, your case comment will be reasonably well-organized.

The eligible cases for this assignment are fairly long. You are not expected to be able to cover all aspects of the decision you choose. It is more important to properly identify feminist legal issues and discuss them intelligently than to cram the maximum amount of information possible into seven pages. That said, you are expected to exercise reasonable judgment and to select important, rather than trivial, issues. Make sure that you really understand the issue(s). The best way to do that is to read the case many times. Read the entire case even if you only discuss one issue among many. Your ability to write clearly and correctly is critical and will heavily affect your mark.

Use simple language, short(er) sentences and precise words.

A good strategy is to read your argument aloud. If it sounds confusing or unclear, it will come across that way to the reader. Case 1 Newfoundland (Treasury Board) v. NAPE, [2004] 3 S.C.R. 381 In 1988, the government of Newfoundland and Labrador signed a Pay Equity Agreement in favour of female employees in the health care sector that included those represented in collective bargaining by the appellant union. In 1991, the same government introduced the Public Sector Restraint Act, which deferred the commencement of the promised pay equity increase (section 9) from 1988 to 1991, and extinguished the 1988–1991 arrears. Section 9 effectively erased the Province’s obligation to pay out approximately $24 million.

The justification was that the government was experiencing a financial crisis unprecedented in the Province’s history. The government adopted other severe measures to reduce the Province’s deficit, including a freeze on wage scales for public sector employees, a closure of hospital beds, and a freeze on per capita student grants and equalization grants to school boards. It also laid off almost two thousand employees and terminated publicly-funded medical care coverage for certain items. Grievances were file on behalf of some female employees affected by the cut to pay equity.

The Arbitration Board ordered the government to comply with the original terms of the Pay Equity Agreement, holding that section 9 of the Act infringed section 15(1) of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, and also that the infringement could not be justified under section 1.

On judicial review, the motions judge quashed the Board’s decision and dismissed the grievances. He agreed that section 9 infringed section 15(1) but found the infringement justifiable under section 1. The Court of Appeal upheld the motions judge’s decision. One appeal judge suggest that explicit recognition of the separation of powers doctrine should be added to the section 1test.

The case was further appealed to the Supreme Court of Canada, which is the decision reference for this assignment. Case 2 Trociuk v. British Columbia (A.G.), [2003] 1 S.C.R. 835 The appellant and the respondent in this case are the estranged father and mother of triplets. The mother (the appellant) filled out and submitted the statement of live birth on her own, and also marked the father (the respondent) as unacknowledged by the mother.

She alone chose and registered the children’s surname, pursuant to sections 3(1) (b) and 4(1) (a) of the British Columbia Vital Statistics Act. Under section 3(6) (b) of the Act, the father is preclude from altering the registration.

Accordingly, the Director of Vital Statistics refused both of the father’s requests to have the birth registration forms amended to include his identity. The British Columbia Supreme Court dismissed the father’s request for a declaration that the legislation violates section 15(1) of the Canadian Charter of Rights and also Freedoms. The Court of Appeal, in a majority judgment, upheld that decision. The decision referenced for this assignment comes from the Supreme Court of Canada.

Why did the Founders want to establish a republic rather than a (direct) democracy or populist form of government? What are the advantages and disadvantages of each type of government?

Why did the Founders want to establish a republic rather than a direct democracy or populist form of government

For this essay you have the choice between two prompts and you can pick the one that will be easiest and develop a strong paper.
1. Why did the Founders want to establish a republic rather than a (direct) democracy or populist form of government? What are the advantages and disadvantages of each type of government? If ‘the people’ were to (re)found the U.S. today by re/writing the Constitution (their social contract), which form of government would ‘they’ most likely choose, and why? What kind of persons do they actually elect and want in office? Should all of the ‘people’ be involved in creating a form of government, or only some certain ones? Does it take aristocrats to create a decent democracy, as Publius sometimes seems to imply? Does it take such persons to keep it going?

2. Consider the U.S. Constitution as a kind of ‘social contract’ justifying government’s right to command and citizens’ duty to obey. Then ask yourself: is it a good agreement? That is, is it one that you are/ would be willing to make with others about shared governing institutions? Or, would you enter the contract only if certain changes were made first, and if so which ones? That is, (how) would you revise (and/or improve) the Constitution as a founding document? Are our institutions (in theory? in practice?) in fact – as Publius suggests – the ‘best’ form of government created by humans so far; alternatively, as many Americans think, is ours (politically speaking) in fact the ‘greatest country in the world’? Why or why not?

This is a paper that is focusing on the student to explain what SDG theoretical framework is for organizations . The paper also provides additional information to use in the writing of the assignment paper. Below is the assessment description to follow:

Explain what SDG theoretical framework is for organizations

The writing test for Professional English consists of a written advice for a specific existing company (in this case H&M) regarding the implementation of SDG’s in the company’s business strategy. For this assignment you have to use four mandatory sources (see attached files):
– The SDG Compass Guide
– The book Business and sustainable development goals by Rob van Tulder
– The company’s most recent annual report (this gives an insight into how the company currently addresses sustainability issues)
– Text A: Sustainable development goals for people and planet

In addition to the mandatory sources mentioned above, you can add more sources you found yourself. Collect relevant literature/articles you have to use for your advice. How ethical is H&M?  How sustainable is the H&M Conscious collection? Try to find more information about that.

Explain what SDG theoretical framework is for organizations

In the SDG Compass Guide, five steps for implementing sustainability in a business’s strategy are explained. Four of these five steps form the framework of your advice; what the general contents of each step are, is briefly summarize below.

1) Firstly, understanding SDG’s: provide a theoretical framework in which you explain what SDG’s are, why they were introduced and how they are connected to CSR. Also, you have to discuss relevant research on this subject.

2) Setting priorities: discuss the company’s value chain and identify in which area or areas specific sustainability goals could have the most impact. Make sure to substantiate your choices, at least referring to the theoretical framework.

3) Setting goals: discuss relevant goals for the company to set and substantiate your claims with relevant arguments.

4) Integrating SDG’s: propose a way for the company to integrate the recommended SDG’s into its core business, as explained in the SDG Compass Guide.

In addition to these four steps, add an appropriate introduction and conclusion (a call for action) to your advice. Also, make sure you refer to the sources you used, using the APA style in the text and reference list. Finally, make sure to start your advice with an executive summary.

Instructions

Write the body of the paper before writing the abstract, introduction, and conclusion. It is much easier to write those sections once you know your argument well. The body of the paper should include:
ü  A clear and specific statement of the innovation. Bitcoin, blockchain, digital currency, virtual currency, and cryptocurrency are all different things. Similarly, algorithmic trading, machine learning, and artificial intelligence are different. You must decide exactly what your topic includes.

ü  An explanation of the technology involved. What is the difference between algorithmic trading and artificial intelligence? How does the blockchain operate? How is artificial intelligence related to customer support?

ü  A rationale for selecting the innovation and some positive facts to support it.  There was a tendency to write in the last assignment, “Bitcoin will be the greatest innovation of the next 20 years. It was created and has been in use since 2009.” Well then, why is it going to have an impact in the future? Perhaps your point is that while Bitcoin was created in 2009, it has not yet come into wide use. You could support this with facts and also data about current and potential usage. Perhaps it should be compared to dollars of PayPal or credit card transactions to argue that it has room to grow.

Maybe you should say that while there are many virtual currencies (Ethereum, Ripple, Litecoin, Tether, Bitcoin Cash, Libra, Monero, EOS, …), new coins are no longer created, and Bitcoin is growing while the others are shrinking. Here again, facts are required.

Understanding of the principles of Financial Economics

ü  Comparing the next new thing in finance to the most significant innovation from the past 20 years, as you identified in the first writing assignment.

ü  Ultimately, this is an economics paper. Note the term “economics” in the title. Most of the work should focus on the economics of the innovation. Does it reduce cost, and by how much? Are there barriers to entry (a big problem in digital currency)? Does the law of one price apply? How will the price incorporate the risk of default, liquidity risk, etc.? Is there a supply/demand imbalance? Does the exchange mitigate counterparty risk? Does the innovation complete the market? Is there a connection to behavioral economics? Is there a SIF which justifies the innovation even if not entirely rational? Does the value rely on an expected value and also growth over time, as in the Gordon model?

ü  Additionally, arrange the body of the paper in sections and paragraphs. The list above is not an outline, but you should have a clear strategy for arranging your points and ideas.

ü  Lastly, write the conclusion, introduction, abstract, and references after you write the body of the paper.
