Problem 2.
The following data are taken from the employment records between ages 58 and 59 of 1000 pension plan members. The possible decrements from active employment (State 0) are by early retirement (State 1), transfer to another position (State 2) or death in service (State 3).
You are give.
Problem 3.
A long-term care insurance policy is modelled by the following four-state model with constant transition inten.,:ties between integer ages: Able (0), Partially able (1), Disabled (2), Dead (3). Possible transitions are: 0 —> 1, 1 —> 2, 0 3, 1 —> 3, and 2 —> 3.
a). Write down the contribution to the likelihood from to for each of the life histories described in the following table, each of whom enters observation at age x. Time t is counted from age x.
Life 1 I Life 2
Life 3
t = 0 In State 1 t = 1 In State 1
t = 0 In State 0 t = 0.25 Moves to State 1 t = 0.75 Moves to State 2
t = 0 In State 1 t = 0.5 Moves to State 2 t = 0.8 Dies
b). The actuary has the following summary of all observations: — Total waiting time in State 0: 4521.2 years — Total waiting time in State 1: 357.9 years — Total waiting time in State 2: 69.6 years — Total number of transitions 0 -4 1: 163 — Total number of transitions 0 3: 125 — Total number of transitions 1 2: 154 — Total number of transitions 1 3: 42 — Total number of transitions 2 -4 3: 25 Derive maximum likelihood estimates of all the transition intensities along with estimates of the associated standard errors.

Let’s return our attention to Sun City Boards and its owner, Tom Wilson. Dani travelled to Tom’s operations on the West Coast and confirmed her suspicions that the problems the organization is facing are due to a lack of planning. Dani is meeting with Tom to report on her findings and to submit her recommendations.
“OK Tom, I’ve spent the last several days going through your operations and records, and I’m confident that there are actions you can take that will help turn around the business.”
Tom lets out a long sigh and says, “Dani, you have no idea how glad I am to hear that. So at a high level, what’s the problem?”
“In a nutshell, the problem with Sun City Boards is that you have lost your focus and there is no clear plan for moving forward.” Tom looks confused, so Dani explains. “When you started the business, what was your vision?”
Tom answers, “To set people free from the earth … free to ride the waves.”
“Perfect!” Dani responds. “And how were you going to do that?”
Tom thinks for a moment and then emphatically declares, “We will strive to provide the absolute best in high-end surfboard design and production!”
Dani tells Tom that he has just created the vision and mission statements for Sun City Boards. She further explains, “You have to start creating a focused plan that will help the organization deliver on its vision and mission. The reason your company is struggling is that there is no clear roadmap to success.”
Tom asks, “What do you mean?”
Dani continues, “When you started the company you were very successful because you focused on one key thing—making the best surfboards anyone had seen. As a result, everything your business did revolved around that core idea.”
Tom interrupts, “OK Dani, I think I see where you’re headed. When we started making money in the early days, I began to start expanding into other areas without a lot of thought. I listened to salespeople who came in and told me that I should branch out into low-end surf gear, then swimwear, then camping gear. Customers don’t know what we’re all about any more. And neither do my managers and employees.”
Dani can see Tom is getting his arms around the concept of vision and mission, so she moves on. Next, she presents her recommendation that Tom and his key leaders should come together regularly to create, review and update Sun City’s business plan. This is new to the team, so she gives them a quick example:
Finally, Dani reminds Tom that the planning process is only a tool and that the plan should be regularly reviewed and updated. Dani warns him that planning is no substitute for taking action, but it is a guide for him and his team as to what actions should be taken.
This consulting project has reminded Dani how important it is for an organization to have a clear vision and mission to know where it’s headed. Likewise, the planning process is critical to know how it’s going to get there. The alternative is like trying to take a cross-country trip without a map—you don’t know where you might end up!
Preparation
The Decision Making module of your text provided numerous decision tools and methods to use during the decision process. In this assignment, you will draw upon your personal decision-making experience. As you learned in the module, people make decisions with our biases and preferred styles in play. You will describe your decision, what choices were involved, how you made your decision, and what the outcome was, relating your process to the rational decision-making process described in the text. The following steps will help you prepare for your written assignment:
Your Task
Step 1. Identify the Problem
Step 2. Establish Decision Criteria
Step 3. Weigh Decision Criteria
Step 4. Generate Alternatives
Step 5. Evaluate Alternatives
Step 6. Select the Best Alternative
For example, if you’re writing about your decision to adopt a pet, the problem you identify in Step 1 might be that you were lonely in your apartment at night, and you’d always wanted to rescue a dog. In Step 2, you could describe the decision criteria you used to select a dog: your apartment only allows dogs under 25 pounds, you wanted a dog with short hair for easier cleanup, you would only travel to a rescue facility within 50 miles of your house, and so on. If you skipped any of the steps above, note that. Include this outline in your written assignment submission.
In addition to the text, you are encouraged to research decision-making methods using reliable and properly cited Internet resources. You may also draw from your personal experience with appropriate examples to support your references.
Tasks:
First, choose one of the following two topics:
Topic #1: One of the Five Great Themes of World Literature is “Sacred & Secular.” As stated in Unit 1 of this course, “We will find in our study of literary masterpieces from the past many intricate negotiations between the divine and the earthly realms.” Discuss what we learn about how divine powers and earthly beings interact in Sundiata (in an area with a syncretic religion) and Popol Vuh (which is not a sacred text but presents the Mayan cosmology). Which values embodied by these interactions are considered significant by their societies? What can we learn about their respective cultures by analyzing how these texts handle these issues relating to the sacred and the secular? Use these questions as a springboard to making an argument related to the similarities and/or differences between the texts and their handling of these issues.
Topic #2: Both Sundiata and Popol Vuh deal centrally with a heroic quest. Unit 1’s introduction to the Five Great Themes of World Literature states with regard to the hero: “The surest way to understand what a culture of the past most values is to focus on what it considers heroic, in that a culture recognizes its heroes as embodying its most important ideas, the values that are essential.” Discuss what forces Sundiata and the Hero Twins Hunahpu and Xbalanque have to overcome and how they go about doing it. For Sundiata your essay will probably focus on Sundiata’s historical destiny; in Popol Vuh, the Twins’ quest will have a more mythic quality, but you probably will focus on the meaning for the Mayan culture of the mythic events. Regardless, be sure to discuss the texts in relation to one another, and craft an argument about the similarities and differences in their presentation of their heroic quests.
Second, write an essay presenting your argument. Include quotations from the texts as well as additional details that illustrate and enhance the points you are making. Use the following as an outline of what to include:
Explain the general topic and relevant themes (e.g. heroes, women) and any relevant terms for that topic (suggested 1-2 paragraphs).
Apply that topic to both Sundiata and to Popul Vuh (suggested 4-6 paragraphs). Give specific examples and quotes from the texts to support your analyses. Use in-text citations for the quotations.
Compare and contrast the texts; it’s up to you whether you organize your essay around this (i.e. spend half comparing them, then half contrasting them) or talk about each of them individually, then mention similarities and differences.
Your final page should be your Works Cited page, in MLA format. It should include the literary texts, as well as any content pages from the course material to which you may have referred and any secondary sources you used. Do not plagiarize.
Don’t forget to review the guidelines for How to Succeed in the Written Assignments and the sample paper in MLA format.
American Imperialism was a hot topic debate in the United States by the turn of the 20th century. Imperialism was seen in the Spanish-American War, the Philippine-American War, and even the hot topic of the election of 1900. What goals were the Imperialists trying to achieve and why did it ultimately become the path forward for the United States? Take a stance on if Imperialism was the right path for the United States with at least three examples.
You teach at a well-regarded preschool that serves families in a suburban community. Aidan has been a student in your class of 4-year-olds for the past 4 months. You see Aidan as a bright and affectionate child who is an active participant in circle time, center time, and other class activities. A problem has arisen on the playground, however. Aidan has gotten into disputes with other children much more frequently than usual and has even tried to bite other children on several occasions. You have tried to explain why the behavior is unacceptable and to redirect Aidan’s behavior, but it is time for a more serious approach. There appears to be no simple reason for his problem behavior (there are no major changes at home or at the preschool) and the problem is limited to the situation described above.
1. Think about the questions you would ask about Aidan’s problem behavior if you took a social development theoretical approach. Would you be more likely to look to Aidan’s environment or to Aidan as an individual for the source of the problem? Why? (Provide examples of some of the types of questions your category of theories would ask.)
2. Based on social development theory, what suggestions would you have about approaches to try with Aidan? (Explain why these suggestions align with your assigned theory)
3. What do you see as the relative advantages and disadvantages of social development theory in this situation?

The purpose of this assignment is to apply one of the major theories of Family Therapy to a “sample family” from popular culture. In addition, this assignment will allow you to critically reflect on messages of family that we see in the mass media, and to evaluate popular notions of the “normal family”.
Select a film from the list below and watch it at least two times. Even if you’ve seen it before, you’ll need to watch the film again to have a solid recollection of the dynamics within the family represented. Then, complete the following:
1. Provide a brief synopsis of the film, giving enough information about the family and plot line to inform someone who has never seen the film (at least 1 page). 10 points
2. Choose and describe the theory of family therapy that you apply to the family depicted in the film. Provide enough description and historical background on the theory to inform someone who is unfamiliar with family therapy (at least 1 page). 20 points
3. Apply the theory to the family depicted in the film. How would you apply this model of family therapy to the family in the film? What would therapy “look like”?
a. What would occur in the first session? Who would likely be present?
b. How would you structure future sessions with the family?
c. What is the likely course of treatment? How many sessions would you have? Who would attend them? What would happen in them?
d. Provide a role play for solving one particular problem within the family. You’ll need to find a friend or colleague to take on the role of one member of the family, who presents the problem as it is depicted in the movie. They could have seen the film, or you could provide them with enough background information to present the problem.
4. Make a case for this theory as the most appropriate model to treat this family. 10 points
5. Proofread your paper for spelling, grammar, and mechanics10 points
