Discrete Probability Distributions Let’s say the IRS is considering auditing 250 tax returns within a given region, 15 of which have errors (unknown to the IRS, of course). If an IRS agent randomly chooses 25 of these 250 tax returns on which to perform an audit, what is the probability that exactly 3 of these returns will have errors?

If an IRS agent randomly chooses 25 of these 250 tax returns on which to perform an audit, what is the probability that exactly 3 of these returns will have errors? First, tell which distribution is needed and why. Then either post your steps or a screenshot of how we can find the probability in Excel.

Discussion Board: A Nation Divided
88 unread replies.88 replies.NOTE: Be sure to get your initial post in by the usual Thursday deadline and the reply in by Friday (the last day), which is a day earlier than usual.Normally, this week’s discussion would be based around the idea of globalization, which is important especially given the recent challenges surrounding COVID-19 and its global transmission. Yet, as I was looking through chapter 28, I realized I wanted to ask questions about a lot of different topics rather than just one topic. Thus, I turned to the focus questions at the beginning of the chapter, and realized they are great questions and things I really hoped you picked up on while reading. So I will post all 6 questions, and I would like for you to choose 2 to write about in this week’s discussion. This will give us an opportunity to read about many different topics and respond to classmates who wrote about something different.So be sure to include the question at the beginning of each of your two answers, give a thorough analysis of the question IN YOUR OWN WORDS (I would rather you not use quotes for this), and reply to a classmate that answered a different question than you answered. Here are the 6 questions (remember, choose 2):1. What events eroded support for President Bush’s policies during his second term?2. What were the economic practices that contributed to the crisis of 2008?3. What kinds of change did voters hope for when they elected Barack Obama?4. What were the major challenges of Obama’s first term?5. What was divisive about Donald Trump’s campaign and early presidency?6. What were the prevailing ideas of American freedom at the beginning of the 21st century? 

Explain how you would work collaboratively with other content areas, special education and/or general education teachers on a cross-curricular social studies and arts unit for the inclusive classroom.

 
In this course, you have already learned how social studies connects with other content areas. Being able to plan themed curriculum that allows students opportunities to engage with multiple content areas is something that effective educators do regularly.
Use the “COE 3-Day Unit Plan Template” to briefly outline three lessons. The unit plan should include social studies integrated with the content, functions, and achievements of the visual and performance arts as primary media for communication, inquiry and engagement among students. Use the assignments from Topic 2 to inform the unit plan’s learning objective and standards. Share your ideas with and gather additional ideas from your mentor teacher when completing your field experience hours.
Use the “Class Profile” for background information on your students in order to differentiate and meet the diverse needs of an inclusive classroom. Include instructional objectives and strategies that align to the selected social studies and the arts standards and promote learning and engagement in an inclusive classroom.

 If you were the lead advanced practice nurse for the entire regional school district and immediate boss of the high-school advanced practice nurse in question, how would you handle communication and improvement strategies?  

The Patient
An 18-year-old male was a high school student, lived in a community of approximately 20,000 people, and was a member of the high school basketball team. He died after the car in which he was a passenger struck a tree in a high-speed crash. The driver and two friends were returning from lunch-break in town. The accident occurred just outside school grounds at 12:48 pm. The driver and the back seat passenger, taken by ambulance to the hospital, were later released with minor injuries.  The front seat passenger was pronounced dead at the scene. A reporter from the local newspaper interviewed the schools nurse practitioner, who disclosed the details of the accident, along with some sensitive health information, without authorization by the provider or the deceased’s family. Several weeks later, for educational purposes, this information was included in the Adult Education – Driver Safety Course offered at the town’s Public Library (a cooperative initiative between the high school and adult community). Although in the driver safety class the young man’s name, birthdate, and social security number were not documented anywhere, most people in this modest-sized community were aware that the example case discussed in the course, was in fact not only true, but certain that the case was 100% about this college bound student, who tragically died.
Initial Post
One of your first tasks is to review the federally posted Security Risk Assessment (SRA) on HealthIT.gov.  Then, review the patient case described above with the risk assessment in mind. No, you do NOT have to fill out this risk assessment. Simply familiarize yourself with it. If any specific required data points stand out to you, you may refer to them in your discussion board posting. 
In an initial post, address the following:
   1    If you were the lead advanced practice nurse for the entire regional school district and immediate boss of the high-school advanced practice nurse in question, how would you handle communication and improvement strategies?  
   2    If the school advanced practice nurse clearly removed all of the HIPAA Safe Harbor identifiers (the 18 identifiers in the provision) when answering the news reporter interview questions, is it possible that the deceased’s personal health information would still be exposed?
   3    Considering the educational intention of the cooperative program between the high school and local library, who do you believe is accountable for sharing the private health information of the deceased that is included in the driver’s safety course? Why?
Consider the following to guide your discussion:
   •    Ethical implications to a deceased fellow student and to his family
   •    Legal implications
   •    Good Samaritan approach (no harm intended)
   •    Emotional student and/or community impact of using a deceased fellow student as a case study in school
   •    Cognitive learning impact of using a deceased fellow student as a case study in a school/community program.
Your original post must be 275-350 words in length. APA format, with the use of citations (not included in the word count).
Please Note: This discussion is set up so that you must make an initial post before you see any student responses. 
Reply Posts
Respond to the posting of two classmates. Professionally challenge, discuss, debate, take a stance, enhance, or offer an opinion. 175-250 words for each response. APA format, with citations.
