Does the data seem to follow the bell curve of the normal distribution?
STATISTICS DISCUSSION
Collect some quantitative data. Find the sample mean and standard deviation. Plot it in a histogram. Does the data seem to follow the bell curve of the normal distribution? What features of the data do or do not fit in with the shape of the normal curve. How much deviation from the curve is to be expected?
Now perform a normality test on your data (Shapiro-Wilk test: http://sdittami.altervista.org/shapirotest/ShapiroTest.html or http://www.brianreedpowers.com/MAT240/stats/descriptiveStats.html)– the test will give you a p-value. The higher the p-value, the more closely your data follows the normal distribution. Based on the test, do you think your data could have been drawn from a normal distribution?
indicate whether you think this specific goal aligns with the public’s current view on punishment.
Punishment of criminal offenders has been a highly debated topic for many decades. An eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth punishment indicates that punishment should be similar to the harm caused. When judges impose a form of punishment, they try to balance the sentence with the reasoning that reflects previous behavior or consistency with state and federal laws.
After reviewing all the correctional goals of punishment and taking account of each, explain which particular goal does not align with the purpose of the others. Also, indicate whether you think this specific goal aligns with the public’s current view on punishment.

· Inspirational motivation (IM) describes leaders who motivate others to commit to the vision of the organization. Leaders with inspirational motivation encourage the team to reach new heights in service delivery.
· Intellectual Stimulation (IS) describes leaders who encourage innovation and creativity through challenging the normal beliefs or views of a group. Leaders with intellectual stimulation promote critical thinking and problem solving to make the organization better.
· Individual consideration (IC) describes leaders who act as coaches and advisors to their team. Leaders with individual consideration encourage others to reach goals that help both them and the organization.
Your II score is 16 Your IM score is 19 Your IS score is 18 Your IC score is 16
Like the other styles, transformational leadership styles is not always appropriate. It is most successful when used with highly skilled or experienced team members, when implementing large-scale changes or resolving individual or group problems.

· you want to provide opportunities for team members to develop a high sense of personal growth and job satisfaction.
· there is a large or complex problem that requires lots of different inputs to solve.
· changes must be made or problems solved that affect large numbers of people
· you want to encourage team building and participation.
Transformational leadership may not be appropriate when:
· there is not enough time to get everyone’s input
· it’s easier and more cost-effective for the manager to make the decision.
· there is a short-term crisis
