What are the benefits and challenges associated with receiving supports outside of the school day?
Allocate 2 hours in the field to support this field experience.Collaborate with your mentor teacher to identify student and family supports offered within your school and community for individuals with disabilities regarding academic, transitional, and/or vocational skills.Specifically, discuss the following items as you research these supports with your mentor:Who oversees the support: the school or an outside agency? What services do they support?Are the services free, or do families need to pay for these services?How are community resources shared with families? Are supports discussed in the beginning of the school year, at conferences, in IEPs, or elsewhere?Did the mentor teacher create his or her own newsletter/brochure, or utilize the school, district, or community made resources?Discuss the importance of continuing the support for students and families or caregivers outside of the classroom. What are the benefits and challenges associated with receiving supports outside of the school day?Discuss if there are limited resources in certain areas, and if so, how has the mentor teacher or school addressed those identified limitations.Use any remaining field experience hours to assist the mentor teacher in providing instruction and support to the class.Compose a 500-750 word summary based on your discussion with your mentor regarding student, family, school, and community supports available. Reflect on how you will use this information in your future professional practice.APA format is not required, but solid academic writing is expected.

If store opening costs were capitalized, over what time period would you amortize them? Explain why you selected this time period.Website development.Analyze the importance of Notes to financial statements in interpreting financial statements.Explain how the accounting method the company uses affects the financial statements.Explain how the financial statements would differ if another method were used to capture the costs.If you have a preference for capitalizing or expensing these costs, explain why it is your preference.Deliverable FormatLeadership has asked that you develop either a training deck or a training manual that you will use with John and that can be deployed with other new hires as well. Regardless of the format selected, the information should address the points identified above and with detailed explanations within the notes areas of slides or within the training manual text. It will also be helpful to include information in regard to why each item is important to the organization as well as the success of the new district manager.To use your time and Johns time wisely, be conscientious about providing thorough yet concise information.

Consider a normal distribution with a mean of 14 and variance of 26. What is the Z score for the value of 16?
(For Questions 1, 2, 3 and 4) There are 25 students enrolled in Stat 200 course. Their scores on Test one is written in following table 1.105269746483747877785888647371987578908372918185641. (4 points) construct a frequency distribution on scores.2. (4 points) Construct a relative frequency distribution test one scores repeated below:scoresFrequency50-59260-69470-791080-89590-9933. (4 points) construct a histogram of the scores for the given frequency.4. (4 points) Construct stem and leaf display for the scores in Table 1.5. (4 points) A soda company wants to stimulate sales in this economic climate by giving customers a chance to win a small prize for every bottle of soda they buy. There is a 20% chance that a customer will find a picture of a dancing banana () at the bottom of the cap upon opening up a bottle of soda. The customer can then redeem that bottle cap with this picture for a small prize. Now, if I buy a 6-pack of soda, what is the probability that I will win something, i.e., at least win a single small prize?6. (5 points) My brother wants to estimate the proportion of Canadians who own their house. What sample size should be obtained if he wants the estimate to be within 0.02 with 90% confidence ifa. he uses an estimate of 0.675 from the Canadian Census Bureau?b. he does not use any prior estimates? But in solving this problem, you are actually using a form of prior estimate in the formula used. In this case, what is your actual prior estimate? Please explain.7. (2 points) At mens clothing store, 12 males bought green sweaters, 8 purchased blue golf sweaters, 4 bought white sweaters and 7 decided to by gray sweaters. If a customer is selected at random, calculate the probability that he bought:(2 points)(a) Green sweater (b) blue sweater or white (c) blue or gray or white (d) A sweater which was not gray.8. (2 points) (a) Given definition of Normal ( Gaussian distribution) by citing an example. Draw graph of the distribution.(3 points) (b) Consider a normal distribution with a mean of 14 and variance of 26. What is the Z score for the value of 16?Hint: Read from the text-book regarding Normal distribution and go over the power point lecture examples. Then work out this exercise.Important: Please read carefully . You are allowed to use technology for the following Problems (Problem #9 and Problem #10). Most probably, you have to use technology or you may have to spend hours, to carry out the necessary calculations by hand. Nonetheless, you should clearly delineate and explain your logic and reasoning on how to tackle problems #9, and #10.9. (8 points) The Undesirable Air Lines (UAL???) is notorious for its cost-cutting substandard customer service. Consequently, only 85% of the ticket holders will show up for a flight. The Air Lines workhorse, the Boring 878, has 234 seats. UAL, of course, will make extra money by overbooking. However, they have to worry about the FAA fines, and they have to keep a safety margin, say, that there is at least 95% probability that they can accommodate all those who show up for the Boring 878 flight. How many seats can they actually sell in this case?10. (8 points) It is an open secret that airlines overbook flights, but I have just learned recently that bookstores underbook (I might have invented this new term.) textbooks .To make a long story short, our school designated virtual bookstore, MBS Direct, routinely, as a matter of business practice, orders less textbooks than the amount requested by our schools Registrars Office. That is what I have figured out . Simply put, MBS Direct has to eat the books if they are not sold. Do you want to eat the books? You may want to cook the books before you eat them! Oops, I hope there is no account major in this class?OK, let us cut to the chase .. MBS Direct believes that only 85% of our registered students will stay registered in a class long enough to purchase the required textbook. Lets pick on our STAT 200 students. According to the Registrars Office, we have 600 students enrolled in STAT 200 this fall 2019.Suppose you are the CEO of MBS Direct, and you want to perform a probability analysis. What would be the number of STAT 200 textbook bundles you would order so that you stay below 5% probability of having to back-order from Pearson Custom Publishing? (Note: Our Provost would be very angry when she hears that textbook bundles have to be back-ordered. In any case, by next fall, we will no longer need the service of MBS Direct as we are moving 100% to free eResources. Auf Wiedersehen, MBS Direct )
