case in the fille

 Imagine your company is being considered for subcontracting the  management of a project because of your firm’s excellent human resource  and quality management skills. However, you find that you must first  convince the contracting company that your company is worthy of the  position. Recommend a plan that centers on total quality management  (TQM) that highlights your firm’s experience with TQM and human  resources. 

Respond… Do you agree with them? Why or why not? Explore the points of your agreement or disagreement.

There are many different government agencies that track the different reports that stem from OSHA. With the steady increase in injury statistics, those new standards were made. Through the Briefings on Hospital Safety, it was found OSHA was under pressure to keep better records and make workplaces more accountable. (OSHA rule……, 2019) Government agencies also wanted to keep the information that is collected from being publicly disclosed, such as items that may be sensitive – workers’ injuries to body parts and PII ( personally identifiable information). Although the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) may have made it easier for the public to find records that are being kept by companies, the hopes are that the companies will do a better job with recording and filing data, as well as making safety in the workplace a big issue. Looking further in the article, it can be interpreted as OSHA will be ever be evolving to include many different things including worksite analysis, hazard prevention and control, and more.

As there are low amounts of oversight on small incidents, such as slips, falls, or other common worker injuries, there is a proposed regulation that will address them. “While some advocates say new regulations would help make healthcare safer, others argue that pressure on organizations to report more injuries to OSHA will cause facilities to try and cheat the system, especially if government entities like CMS tie Medicare funding to statistics such as injury incidence.” (OSHA rule….., 2019) This would deter employees from reporting injuries sustained at work in likes that they will lose their jobs or healthcare. On the bright side, making injuries transparent and available for the public will hopefully push employers to have a greater focus of protecting their employees in the workplace in order to protect themselves as well.

Demonstrate the use of the normal distribution, the standard normal distribution, and the central limit theorem for calculating areas under the normal curve and exploring these concepts in real life applications.

Scenario

Frank has only had a brief introduction to statistics when he was in high school 12 years ago, and that did not cover inferential statistics. He is not confident in his ability to answer some of the problems posed in the course.

As Frank’s tutor, you need to provide Frank with guidance and instruction on a worksheet he has partially filled out. Your job is to help him understand and comprehend the material. You should not simply be providing him with an answer as this will not help when it comes time to take the test. Instead, you will be providing a step-by-step breakdown of the problems including an explanation on why you did each step and using proper terminology.

What to Submit

To complete this assignment, you must first download the word document

, and then complete it by including the following items on the worksheet:

1. Incorrect Answers

• Correct any wrong answers. You must also explain the error performed in the problem in your own words.
• Partially Finished Work
  • Complete any partially completed work. Make sure to provide step-by-step instructions including explanations.
• Blank Questions
  • Show how to complete any blank questions by providing step-by-step instructions including explanations.

Your step-by-step breakdown of the problems, including explanations, should be present within the word document provided. You must also include an Excel workbook which shows all your calculations performed.

Answer the question and response two classmates’ feedback

magine you have been hired as a consultant for the United Nations. You have been asked to write an analysis of how global population growth has caused the following problem and how it affects climate change or population growth in a developing country of your choosing:

A growing global population that consumes natural resources is partially to blame for the release of greenhouse gases since human consumption patterns lead to deforestation, soil erosion, and farming (overturned dirt releases CO2). However, the critical issue is the burning of fossil fuels (hydrocarbons) such as coal, oil, and natural gas to produce energy that is used for things such as electricity production, and vehicle, heating, and cooking fuels. 

The UN has asked that you choose a developing country from this list: https://www.mrs.org/developing-countries-list.

The UN has also given you the following guidelines.

Scenario

John is one of the best parcel delivery employees where you are the direct employer of John. 

Under his employment contract, it is John’s duty to deliver packages on the east side of town on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. John, who has never been a religious person suddenly becomes devoutly religious and joins a highly respected religious group. 

John notifies you suddenly that it is against his religion to deliver packages on the east side of town on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays and therefore would be unable to do so. John then proceeds to notify you that his religious objection is protected under Title VII, The Civil Rights Act of 1964. 

You also realize that if John refuses to discharge is his employment duties on the grounds that it violates his religious beliefs that it would cause an undue hardship for the company and risk losing some very valuable accounts.
