Drawing from the leadership traits described in assigned readings, discuss whether you believe these traits can be trained, or whether they are natural skills.
Topic/Question Prompt: Where competency approaches suggest that leaders are created, theoretical approaches suggest that leaders are born. Drawing from the leadership traits described in assigned readings, discuss whether you believe these traits can be trained, or whether they are natural skills. In this course, Discussions play an exceptionally important role. Please consider these threads and replies to be formal communications on the same level as those you would conduct with employers, clients, or colleagues in the professional, political, or academic world. As such, they must be free of grammatical errors, must be properly formatted in current Turabian style, and must consist of well-reasoned, contemplative, and substantive posts and replies, rather than mere lapse dixid. These threads and replies must be adequately supported by citations of the sources or support for your ideas as well as any quoted materials.
If a randomly selected adult is tested and the result is negative, what is the probability that the individual does not have the disease?
Suppose 1 in 25 adults is afflicted with a disease for which a new diagnostic test has been developed. Given that an individual actually has the disease, a positive test result will occur with probability .99. Given that an individual does not have the disease, a negative test result will occur with probability .98.Use a probability tree to answer the following questions. Question 1. What is the probability of a positive test result?Question 2. If a randomly selected adult is tested and the result is positive, what is the probability that the individual has the disease?Question 3. If a randomly selected adult is tested and the result is negative, what is the probability that the individual does not have the disease?
Why is it so difficult to show which correctional programs reduce recidivism?
In June of 2006 a bipartisan committee did a study that found that parole supervision had as many as 67% of former inmates violate parole within 3 years after their release. Fifty-two percent of those were reincarcerated. This costs the American taxpayer as much as 60 billion dollars. Why is it so difficult to show which correctional programs reduce recidivism? 200 words, MUST HAVE IN TEXT CITATIONS FROM REFERENCES LESS THAN 10 YRS OLD.

You must use Eviews to complete this assignment. You will submit both the Eviews file and the report.
What am I required to do in this assignment?
Requirements:
You must use Eviews to complete this assignment. You will submit both the Eviews file and the report. The report needs to be typed and presentable. The report must address each of the tasks below. Do not restate the questions in your report. Your report has to be understandable as a stand-alone piece of work without referring to the Eviews file. You can include the graphs/ tables/ estimation results from Eviews to address the questions, but do not details the process of how you create them. The process will be visible in the Eviews file.
In the Eview files, you need to save all the variables created, all the graphs, estimation outputs and hypothesis test results, with their names clearly identify the questions they address.
Tables, graphs, figures, estimation outputs, etc. need to be clearly labelled.
If you do not submit the Eviews file, you will automatically lose 50% mark of all calculation task. Calculation tasks that are not visible in Eviews will also lose 50% mark automatically.
Tasks:
Download the Excel file Data for assignment.xlsx. Sheet 1 contains historical prices of the S&P500 index, and the monthly US 3-month T-bill rate obtained from the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis. The data is in monthly frequency. Sheet 2 contains the historical prices of different equity indices. You will be assigned a specific index to work with. Sheet 3 contains the monthly historical prices of 10 US firms listed on Nasdaq. Out of these firm, each of you will be assigned a different subset of 6 firms to work with.
1. Compute monthly simple return of S&P500 and of the index assigned to you. Plot the price and simple return of the two indices on two different graphs. Each graph represents one market, consists of the price and return of that market index. Using information from the graph, discuss briefly the main features of these time series and compare between two markets.
(10 marks)
2. Compute the monthly risk-free rate from the US 3-month T-bill rate. Plot the rate on a graph.
(5 marks)
3. Report the descriptive statistics for the simple return of S&P500 and your assigned indices, and the monthly risk-free rate computed from task 2. Discuss the difference between these three variables based on their descriptive statistics.
(15 marks)
4. Conduct the ADF test for the price and return on your assigned index, and on the return on S&P500. Report and discuss the results.

Where is the excess return on firm , and is the excess market return.
a) Report all the alphas and betas and their corresponding t-statistics. Highlight the significant alphas and betas.
(20 marks)
b) Plot the betas against the average excess returns with the excess returns on the y axis.
(5 marks)
c) Test the hypothesis that the alphas are jointly zero. Report the test statistic and the p-value of the test.
(5 marks)
d) Reflect on the results you obtained from a), b) and c) and your acquired knowledge of the CAPM during the course, discuss if the CAPM works, or does not work for the subset of Nasdaq stocks that was assigned to you?

explore this concept of implicit bias as it relates to race/ethnicity.
The discussion of the concept of implicit bias has been very prominent in the news, especially around the question of implicit bias toward people of color (esp.

We all have implicit attitudes as well as explicit attitudes? I want you to chose an area that you might want to assess (1-Race, 2-Skin tone (light/dark), 3- Weight/body size, 4-Sexuality (gay, lesbian, bi-etc). Once you’ve chosen, answer this question:
What are implicit and explicit attitudes? How would you describe your explicit attitudes about race (or skin-tone, sexuality, weight-whichever topic you chose)?
