WEEK 5 – HOMEWORK 5:

THE REQUIRED WEEK 5 PROBLEM SET IS ON THE ATTACHED WORD.DOCX.

(FROM LANE) Let’s start with the terms “point estimate” and “confidence interval”. You survey 100 units in a 1000 unit apartment building about whether they want cable and 67 units say they do want cable. This of course is 67/100 = 67% of the sample (relative frequency, right?). You now say that “based on your sample (or call it a poll) 67% of the entire apartment building population want cable. The 67% is called a “point estimate”.

But, how sure are you of that single number? Let’s say the cable company must be assured that at least 70% of the units want cable. To satisfy them, you compute a “confidence interval” around your point estimate (we will get to the calculations later). How “confident” do you want to be about this interval? Is being 90% confident OK, or 95%, or 99% ? These are the typical significance levels that we used in earlier work. HERE IS THE PART YOU NEED TO REALLY GET A FEEL FOR: THE HIGHER THE CONFIDENCE LEVEL THE WIDER (NOT NARROWER) THE CONFIDENCE INTERVAL BECOMES.

For our survey the 90% confidence interval could be 67% plus or minus (+) 4%. The 95% CI could be 67% + 10% and the 99% CI could be 67% + 15%. The last CI means that we are 99% confident that the interval from 52% to 82% contains the true value (usually we are talking about the mean). Would this 99% CI satisfy the cable company enough for them to install cable to the apartments? Probably. (If they understood statistics, they might do better using the 90% CI. Do you see that the more confident we want to be the WIDER our confidence interval must be? Make sure you do.

MAKE SURE TO USE THE TABLES (z-TABLES AND t-TABLES) FOR RELEVANT PROBLEMS (NOT SOFTWARE). THESE TABLES ARE AVAILABLE IN THE COURSE RESOURCES. SOFTWARE CAN BE USED TO CHECK YOUR ANSWERS.

A minimum of 250 words is required for each question. Please make sure you use proper academic sources and proper APA standards for each answer. A minimum of two outside sources are required for each question. (5 questions)

1. Describe the process of planning and executing a recruiting drive from start to finish.

2. What are some of the major factors that employers should take into account when selecting the media for their recruiting messages? When are highly personal approaches more appropriate, and when are more general approaches more appropriate?

3. What are the advantages of a highly socially focused recruiting drive (e.g., using referrals and social networks)? Are there any major disadvantages to this approach?

4. What are the major types of mobility paths in organizations, and what conditions favor each?

5. What are some of the considerations employers need to bear in mind when internal recruiting? How is this different from external recruiting?

Complete the “Evaluate Team Member Effectiveness” self-assessment.

Write a 1,050-word paper in which you address the following:

• Do you agree with your results?
• Based on your self-assessment, what do you see as your strengths and weaknesses regarding working on a team?
• Have you ever engaged in social loafing while on a team? Why or why not?
• How does working effectively on a team give you an advantage in the workplace?
• How do groups normally develop?
• How does the effectiveness of the team members influence the group’s development process?

Format your paper consistent with APA guidelines.

Cite a minimum of 2 peer-reviewed sources in addition to the course textbook to support your claims.

You are the lead investigator who is called to the scene of a potential crime. The victim was found by a bystander at the bottom of a cliff. It appears that she was hiking and fell. There are multiple abrasions all over her body. The body has no identification, and you have no reports of missing persons regarding anyone matching her description.

Consider the first three steps of the Criminal Justice Decision Making Model:

Step One: Define the problem (and the questions that need to be answered): From your reading, pay specific attention to the sections on Challenges in Investigation, Equivocal Death, Suicide, Preliminary Investigation of Homicide, the Homicide Victim, and Estimating the Time of Death. Describe the steps you would take in determining (1) whether this was an accident, suicide, or potential homicide; (2) techniques that could be used to determine time of death; and (3) ways that you might identify the victim.

Step Two: Gather evidence (law, policy, procedure, data) and evaluate for relevancy: Find information on additional forensic techniques that might help in your investigation. What evidence might help you ascertain whether or not an additional person was on the scene? How might that influence your findings?

Step Three: Weigh moral considerations and direct/indirect consequences: What would be the next steps that you might take in this investigation? If you were to identify the victim and find that she was in a relationship with reported accounts of domestic violence, how might this influence your investigation?

Following Steps 4 and 5 of the Criminal Justice Decision Making Model, write a 1.5 -page essay in which you discuss the steps you would take in this investigation. As you write your essay, focus on using effective descriptions to communicate your points. This should include the use of vivid language, creating an experience for your audience, and showing rather than telling what the processes are. Use source material with APA citations to support your points as necessary.

Step Four: Write your proposal, utilizing the above material.

Step Five: Balance your position by addressing alternatives and potential pitfalls.
