If you match zero, one, or two numbers, you do not win anything. What is the probability that you will not win anything?
In the Florida lottery Lotto game, you select six numbers from a pool of numbers from
1 to 53. each wager costs $1. You win the jackpot if you match all six numbers that you
have selected.
Questions:
Find the probability of:
1. winning the jackpot.
2. matching five numbers.
3. matching four numbers.
4. matching three numbers.
5. matching two numbers.
6. matching one number.
7. matching none of the numbers.
8. If you match zero, one, or two numbers, you do not win anything. What is the probability that you will not win anything?
9. The Lotto ticket gives complete game rules and probabilities of matching zero
through six numbers. The lottery ticket has the saying ”A Win for education” on
the back of the ticket. Do you think Florida’s slogan and the printed complete
game rules and probabilities of matching zero through six numbers is an ethical
approach to running the lottery game?
What is the probability that the indicator would be correct 37 or more times in 46 years?
Spurious correlation refers to the apparent relationship between variables that either
has no true relationship or are re-related to other variables that have not been
measured. One widely publicized stock market indicator in the United States that is an
example of spurious correlation is the relationship between the National Football
League Super Bowl winner and the per- performance of the Dow Jones Industrial
Average in that year. The indicator states that when a team that existed before the
National Football League merged with the American Football League wins the Super
Bowl, the Dow Jones Industrial Average will increase in that year. Since the first Super
1
Bowl was held in 1967 through 2012, the indicator has been correct 37 out of 46 times.
Assuming that this indicator is a random event with no predictive value, you would
expect that the indicator would be correct 50% of the time.
Questions:
1. What is the probability that the indicator would be correct 37 or more times in 46 years?
2. What does this tell you about the usefulness of this indicator?
What assumptions need to be made so that the number of questionable insurance claims referred to investigators by Miami- Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties is distributed as a Poisson random variable?
Exercise 1.
The National Insurance Crime Bureau says that Miami- Dade, Broward, and palm
Beach counties account for a substantial number of questionable insurance claims
referred to investigators. Assume that the number of questionable insurance claims
referred to investigators by Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties is
distributed as a Poisson random variable with a mean of 10 per day.
Questions:
1. What assumptions need to be made so that the number of questionable insurance claims referred to investigators by Miami- Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties is distributed as a Poisson random variable?
Making the assumptions given in (1), what is the probability that:
2. 5 questionable insurance claims will be referred to investigators by Miami-Dade,
Broward, and Palm Beach counties in a day?
3. 10 or fewer questionable insurance claims will be referred to investigators by
Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties in a day?
4. 11 or more questionable insurance claims will be referred to investigators by
Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties in a day?

What leadership lessons might you take from the story of Gideon? If you don’t have a Christian worldview, how does this perspective integrate with your worldview?
Gideon (also known as Jerubbaal and Jeruuesheth) was a well-known judge and military leader in the Bible. He led a battle, freeing the Israelites from Midian. As told in Judges 6-8 ( New International Version), Gideon defeated large armies with only 300 men. He reflected confidence, checked his sources, and knew how to use his resources.
As leaders, we would be wise to learn from Gideon. He understood his calling from God – to save Israel and help them turn from idolatry – and his mission – to defeat a large army with 300 men. To make sure he understood his mission, he asked God to provide three signs, which God did. As leaders, we need to check our sources and make sure we understand our vision and mission.
As Gideon prepared for battle, God instructed him to pare down the number of men in his army. With only three hundred men, Gideon led an attack that began with the sound of trumpets and defeated the Midianites. Have you ever been asked to lead what seemed like an impossible task?
Upon successful completion of this assignment, you will be able to:
· Foster self-reflection on personal willingness to lead others.

What is organizational learning? How does it differ from the learning organization?
Meet Sue. Sue works for a mid-sized manufacturing company. Starting off as an assistant, Sue rose through the ranks of the company, demonstrating a can-do attitude and a strong work ethic. Her positive demeanor and willingness to work helped offset some of the small deficits in her other skills. After several attempts at a failed promotion, Sue appears to be stuck and wonders if she can continue working at the company or if she needs to seek other employment opportunities. She recently met a member of human resources to discuss what gaps might be preventing her from reaching further achievement. Sue is hesitant to attend training because she is not yet sure the training will help her improve enough for a promotion. Sue’s situation demonstrates an issue with individual learning.
Meet Cheryl, Sue’s supervisor. Cheryl leads a large team that is responsible for the company’s top-selling product. Because of the nature of manufacturing and the number of skilled workers on her team, Cheryl wants to limit turnover with her team. Turnover concerns Cheryl as her team engages in a collective learning process to improve their products, processes, and knowledge together over time. Cheryl wants to leverage what her team members are learning to make their product better so that her organization can improve its efficiency and efficacy. Last year, the company modified one of the assembly line processes based on feedback from her team. Cheryl also meets with a member of human resources, who advises Cheryl to coach Sue towards additional training. Cheryl’s collective team is an example of organizational learning.
“When the learner is informed why the training is important to them and how it could improve their work, they are more likely to engage with the content emotionally” (Yupangco, 2020, para. 16). A recent article (new tab) suggested that a top focus area for employers is their training and development of employees to close gaps in skills (Yupangco, 2020). In addition to running a business, organizations are wrestling with questions such as:
· Why do adults want to learn?
· What connections need to be made for adult learners to see the value in training and development?
· What sets adult learners apart from younger learners?
· Do we as leaders need to change our approaches based on the needs of adult learners?
This week, we will engage with the topic of adult learning, based on Knowles’s six principles of adult learners. O’Neill (2020) wrote a short popular article (new tab) giving an overview of Knowles’ work on andragogy, or the theory of adult learning.
To further our discussion, we will consider the differences between individual learning and organizational learning as well as what it means to be a learning organization. Individual learning and organizational learning are different, yet related, concepts. As you go through this week, consider Sue and Cheryl, what needs they might have in their roles, and how the concepts of adult learning, individual learning, and organizational learning might apply to their situation.
Upon successful completion of this discussion, you will be able to:
· Identify the characteristics of adult learners.
· Describe the differences between individual learning and organizational learning.

What existing debt ratio (between 0% and 100%) would make you nervous when considering loaning a small business even more money?
As a user of accounting information, being able to compare financial information across time (for the same company) and across companies (at the same point in time) makes comparisons even more valuable. Common and easily understood ratios facilitate these comparisons.
A company’s ability to repay a short-term loan is often a function of the company’s liquidity. Liquidity is commonly measured by dividing a company’s current assets by its current liabilities—this is called the current ratio. If a company already has a lot of debt, it might not be able to repay money it borrows. Leverage is a term used to measure how much debt a company already has and is commonly measured by dividing total liabilities by total assets. This is called a company’s debt ratio.
You are a bank loan officer considering the loan application of a small business in your area. The small business is experiencing a seasonal cash crunch and has come to your bank for a short-term loan. You must assess the company’s ability to repay the loan.
Respond to the following in a minimum of 175 words:
- What questions would you want answered in considering the credit worthiness of this small business?
- Why would a high current ratio indicate that the company is a good candidate for being able to repay a short-term loan?
- Why would a low debt ratio indicate that the company is a good candidate for being able to repay a loan?
- What existing debt ratio (between 0% and 100%) would make you nervous when considering loaning a small business even more money?
