Prompt:
An investment firm looked at 200 mergers between small companies and found that 128 of the new (merged) company’s stock price dropped immediately after the merger. They also determined that 19 of the companies whose stock rose in price had merger managers with experience from prior mergers.
The investment firm completed a contingency table based on their analysis. Use the information in the table to discuss the following questions.
| Experienced | Not Experienced | Total | |
| Stock Price Rises | 19 | 53 | 72 |
| Stock Price Falls | 33 | 95 | 128 |
| Total | 52 | 148 | 200 |
Response parameters: Does knowing if the merger manager has prior experience help the investment firm determine which mergers to invest in?
Why?

Instructions:
As an interdisciplinary and introductory course, Introduction to Women’s Studies: Women and Society presents you with a variety of readings and methodologies exploring the complexities of gender and women’s roles historically and in contemporary societies. In this essay, you will apply these materials and approaches to a current news event related to women’s studies.
Please do the following:
Choose a recent news article (published within the past year) about women that you believe would prove useful in a discussion in a women’s studies course.
Using the material in your course readings and the course modules for support (use quotes!), make explicit connections between your article and women’s studies. Be sure to cite your sources.
Important:You must choose a news article. Look for a byline (author) and date of publication. If there is no author or publication date, the article you have found is not a news article. Not sure if you’ve found a news article? Contact me and ask!
Essay length is 1,000–1,500 words (3–5 pages). Use one outside source (the news article), but base your essay primarily on the course materials. Writing mechanics—spelling, grammar, syntax, citation formatting—are crucial to your ability to communicate clearly and thus will greatly affect your grade. Please use Modern Language Association (MLA) or APA style for citations.
Each report should be a maximum of one page, approximately 250 words
