Have you ever relied on caffeinated drinks to stay awake for a late-night study session, and then struggled to fall asleep afterward?
Some people seek different measures to achieve sleep, daydreaming, meditation, or even hypnosis while others resort to taking shortcuts. They turn to psychoactive drugs, chemical substances that alter thinking, perception, memory, or some combinations of them. Many psychoactive drugs are very useful and were developed to help people. Some are used to help put people to sleep for surgical procedures, whereas others help people deal with the pain from injuries and disease. There are also some that are used to help control sleep disorders or attention deficits in children and adults.
Step 2: Read the section of your textbook in Chapter 13: Types of Psychoactive Drugs (Stimulants). Create a new thread and answer the discussion prompts below:
1.Have you ever relied on caffeinated drinks to stay awake for a late-night study session, and then struggled to fall asleep afterward?
- How do you think this pattern affects your next-day class or work performance?
- How might you plan your study sessions to avoid relying on caffeine? (The student preface at the beginning of this book has some great time management tips.)

What two properties must be satisfied by a continuous probability distribution / probability curve?
- What two properties must be satisfied by a continuous probability distribution / probability curve?
- Explain what the mean µ tells us about a normal curve, and explain what the standard deviation σ tells us about a normal curve.
- Explain how to compute the z value. What does the z value tell us about the value of the random variable?
- Let x be a normally distributed random variable with µ=30 and σ=5. Find the z value for each of the following observed values of x:
a. X = 25
b. X = 15
c. X = 30
d. X = 40
e. X = 50 - If the random variable z has a standard normal distribution, sketch and find each of the following probabilities.
a. P( 0 < z 2)
c. P( z < 1.7)
d. P( z < -1.6) - Weekly demand at a grocery store for a brand of breakfast cereal is normally distributed with a mean of 800 boxes and a standard deviation of 75 boxes. What is the probability that the weekly demand is:

a. P=0.4; n=100
b. P=0.1; n=10
c. P=0.1, n=50

What variables can affect the accuracy of a forecasting model?
Forecasting, whether quantitative or qualitative in nature, is used every day in all business to some level or degree. Accurate forecasting can “make†a company, and inaccurate forecasting can break a company. Forecasting is a very interesting and sometimes controversial subject in management science for a number of good reasons. First, the science of forecasting is not 100% accurate, and we can never compensate for the infinite number of variables that can affect a forecast. At times, forecasting seems to be no more than an educated guess. Secondly, the accuracy of forecasting is determined by the quality of the data used to create the projections. Lastly and perhaps far more importantly, forecasts do not take into consideration technology advances or competitive moves in the market. This lack of consideration is why the term probability is often used in forecasting.

What impact would unethical decision making have on an organization?
This short paper is designed to show student expertise in a particular course element. In this case, the student is showing expertise in the importance of ethical
behavior in ones leaders.
For this short paper, imagine you are working at Enron in the late 1990s. Share an example of unethical organizational decision making from a company leader.
Specifically, the paper should address the ethical foundation necessary for effective leadership. What impact would unethical decision making have on an
organization? Students should look for opportunities for critical analysis of the communications process as well as how systems theory frames those arguments.
The research paper should be drawn from the specific readings in the course material and include the following:
ï‚· The weaknesses of the decision-making process, paying particular attention to ethical behaviors of company leaders
ï‚· The impact of ethical behavior on the communications process by company leaders and the resulting impact of those decisions on overall company goals
and strategies
ï‚· Your recommendations for company leaders to create best practices for ethically based organizational communications decisions
Guidelines for Submission: The paper should be submitted as a 2- to 4-page Microsoft Word document with double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font,
one-inch margins, and sources cited in APA format. In an earlier module, we explored the concept of ethics and ethical behavior. In this assignment, we will take it one step further. You will look at the impact of having an ethical framework when making leadership decisions that can affect the current or future path of a company.
For this short paper, imagine you are working at Enron in the late 1990s. Share an example of unethical organizational decision making from a company leader.
Show how the decision-making process was flawed. What were the ethical behaviors of company leaders, and how did those behaviors impact not only the communications process but the company goals and strategies as well? What strategies supported by systems theory principles and best practices would support your communication practices as an Enron executive?
