PROFESSIONAL DISPOSITIONS AND ETHICS

The development of the School of Education (SOE) Professional Dispositions and Ethics for Next-Gen candidates strengthens the educational experience and conveys the SOE’s commitment to teaching, learning, and leading to the greater professional community. This professional dispositions and ethics work at WGU is supported by the “primary critical Healthy Learning focus areas that are key drivers of student academic, professional, and personal success” (Milliron, Walsh, Rhodes, 2021). As a Next-Gen candidate, you will need to collaborate with families, caregivers, and the larger community to establish partnerships that will promote learner growth.

In this task, you will first complete the SOE Professional Dispositions and Ethics self-assessment. Then you will create an action plan for ongoing professional development in the following professional dispositions and ethics:

  • All individuals Can Learn
  • Empathy
  • Growth Mindset
  • Intellectual Courage
  • Belonging
  • Integrity
  • Professionalism
  • Communication

You will explain how you have demonstrated the dispositions or ethics in a professional setting, which could include a workplace, school setting, community setting, or volunteering. Then you will identify ways you can grow in the professional dispositions and ethics, justify your action steps, and explain how you will collaborate with families, caregivers, and the larger community to apply the professional dispositions and ethics in the future.

Problem 1 (35 pts)
A hotel manager wants to analyze the nationality of the guests who stayed at the hotel during the last month. The data shows that approximately 20% of the guests were from Germany. Suppose that you choose randomly 50 guests:

1. Find the probability that exactly 10 guests are from Germany.
2. Find the probability that at least 15 guests are from Germany.
3. Find the probability that at most 5 guests are from Germany.
4. Find the probability that more than 30 guests are from Germany.
5. What is the expected number of guests from Germany who stayed at the hotel during the last month?
6. Calculate the variance and the standard deviation of this binomial distribution.

Problem 2 (35 pts)
The manager of a hotel chain is interested in knowing whether there is a relationship between the number of positive reviews a hotel receives online and its occupancy rate. The manager collected data from 10 hotels and recorded the number of positive reviews each hotel received on a popular travel website and the corresponding occupancy rate (in percentage) for the same period. The data is shown below:

Hotel Positive Reviews                       Occupancy Rate%
               45                                                         72
               65                                                         82

Problem 3 (30 pts)
The revenue manager of a hotel chain wants to analyze the distribution of room rates for a particular hotel location. Based on historical data, she estimates the following probability distribution for the daily room rates:

    Probability         Room Rate
          30%                     $100
          40%                     $150
          20%                     $200
