discuss why quantitative analysis is important for describing data sets and presenting distribution information.

The Quantitative Analysis Approach [WLO: 1] [CLO: 1]For this discussion, begin by reviewing the technique of quantitative analysis in your textbook. Then, keeping this technique in mind, read the following quotes:“Data do not give up their secrets easily. They must be tortured to confess.”—Jeff Hopper, Bell Labs“Statistics is a body of methods for learning from experience.”—Lincoln Moses“The time may not be very remote when it will be understood that for complete initiation as an efficient citizen of one of the new great complex worldwide states that are now developing, it is as necessary to be able to compute, to think in averages and maxima and minima, as it is now to be able to read and write.”—H.G. Wells“The coming century is surely the century of data.”—David Donoho (2000)“Another mistaken notion connected with the law of large numbers is the idea that an event is more or less likely to occur because it has or has not happened recently. The idea that the odds of an event with a fixed probability increase or decrease depending on recent occurrences of the event is called the gambler’s fallacy. For example, if Kerrich landed, say, 44 heads in the first 100 tosses, the coin would not develop a bias towards the tails in order to catch up! That’s what is at the root of such ideas as ‘her luck has run out’ and ‘he is due.’ That does not happen. For what it’s worth, a good streak doesn’t jinx you, and a bad one, unfortunately, does not mean better luck is in store.”?Leonard Mlodinow, The Drunkard’s Walk: How Randomness Rules Our Lives“A certain elementary training in statistical method is becoming as necessary for everyone living in this world of today as reading and writing.”?H.G. Wells, World Brain“The non-scientist in the street probably has a clearer notion of physics, chemistry and biology than of statistics, regarding statisticians as numerical philatelists, mere collector of numbers.”?Stephen Senn, Dicing with Death: Chance, Risk and HealthQuotes retrieved from www.goodreads.com/quotes/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93q=statisticscommit=Search (Links to an external site.)Based on the above quotes, along with this week’s assigned readings and Instructor Guidance, discuss why quantitative analysis is important for describing data sets and presenting distribution information.

Does recognition of residual value risk make leasing more or less attractive to the Center than before? Why?

CASE 17 QUESTIONSSEATTLE CANCER CENTERLeasing Decisions1. As a baseline, assume all cash flows have the same risk; that is, ignore residual value risk and use the same discount rate for all lessee and lessor cash flows.a. Should the Center lease the equipment? Should GBF write the lease?b. Who is getting the better deal? Explain.c. What is the maximum lease payment that the Center would be willing to pay? What is the minimum lease payment that GBF would be willing to accept?d. What factor influence whether the actual lease payment will be closer to the Center’s maximum lease payment or GBF’s minimum lease payment?2. This lease is attractive to both parties because there is asymmetry of inputs between the lessee and lessor.a. What are these asymmetries?b. What would be the result if there were no asymmetries? Prove it.3. The Center is considering the inclusion of a cancellation clause in the lease contract, in which it could cancel the lease at any time after giving a minimum 30 day notice.a. What impact would a cancellation clause have on the risk of the lease to the Center and the risk of the lease to GBF? Why? No additional calculations are required.b. What might GBF do to compensate for the change in risk? No additional calculations are required.4. GBF has indicated that it would be willing to write a lease at a rate of $7,000 per procedure. Compare the risk of the per procedure lease to the conventional lease from the perspectives of both the lessee and lessor. (Hint: Graph the annual profit of a per-procedure lease and the annual profit of an annual lease against the number of procedures and interpret the graph.)5. What would be the NAL to the Center if tax-exempt (municipal) debt financing was available to the Center? Would the availability of tax-exempt debt financing make leasing more or less attractive to the Center than before? Why? (Assume all cash flows have the same risk; that is, use the same discount rate on all lessee cash flows.)6. What is the NAL to the Center after adjusting for the riskiness inherent in the residual value? Does recognition of residual value risk make leasing more or less attractive to the Center than before? Why?7. Return to baseline assumptions. GBF will probably obtain a $1,500,000 simple interest loan from its bank at a cost of either 7 or 9 percent that it would use to leverage the lease. Should the lessor take the loan if the interest rate is 7 percent? Should the lessor take the loan if the interest rate is 9 percent? Justify your answer.8. If the Center decides to lease, will the lease be classified as a capital lease and shown directly on the balance sheet? Show your calculations.9. a. From the perspective of the Center, what types of financial risk are present in this decision? b. Finally, considering all relevant factors, including the possibility of obtaining a cancellation clause or a per procedure lease, what should the Center do, lease or buy?

Explain your method of attack and operation within the reasonable parameters of the law, citing specific, credible sources that support the method of attack and operation.

In this assignment, you will assume the role of an ethical hacker tasked by law enforcement to infiltrate the network of a business known to engage in illegal activities. The specific course learning outcome associated with this assignment is:Conduct activities to protect IT assets and infrastructure from threats and improve incident response strategies.ScenarioImagine for a moment that you are a hacker, an ethical one. You are called upon by law enforcement to hack into the network of a business known to be engaged in criminal activity for financial gain as its primary activity. Assume you are not to be concerned with any political aspects of the job and that your actions are legal and ethically justified. This nefarious business takes its own security seriously and, therefore, has implemented several forms of network security, including firewalls, web proxies for its web gateways, and VPNs for remote users. You also know that this business, much like any normal corporation, rents several floors of office space to accommodate between 100 and 200 employees. Also, imagine that the business’s entire network topology is located on-site. Your goal is to infiltrate their security to find evidence of illegal activities in the local MSQL database. You must remain anonymous and operate within the parameters of the law.InstructionsWrite a 6–10 page paper in which you:Explain your method of attack and operation within the reasonable parameters of the law, citing specific, credible sources that support the method of attack and operation.Describe a specific malware, social engineering, or other type of attack you would deploy to achieve your desired goals, citing specific, credible sources that support deployment of the attack. Identify effective techniques for concealing executables and specific tools used for each stage of the attack.Develop a plan to overcome expected hurdles your attack must overcome to be successful, citing specific, credible sources that support the plan.Develop an anonymizing strategy, supported by specific, credible sources, that creates a false trail and minimizes the risk of detection.Support your main points, assertions, arguments, or conclusions with at least four specific and credible academic sources synthesized into a coherent analysis of the evidence.
