Last quiz question was 0008 (HELP) |
Write the grant. Find a funder. Submit the grant. Wait to see if it is funded. If it is funded, start the project. Otherwise go back to finding a funder.?
0002. This question extends question 1. You've learned the following things during your professional training. Represent this information as a three level stepwise refinement.
- Preparing to write a grant consists of identifying a need and putting together a logic model that shows what new inputs are needed to generate desired outcomes
- Finding a funder requires identifying a list of funders, looking up the kinds of projects they are funding, and finding matches for your project
- Writing a grant involves (1) preparing to write the grant; (2) finding template appropriate to particular funders; (3) producing drafts and reviewing with staff
- Draft and review protocols vary, but one you like is to produce a draft, post it on Google docs for the team to comment on, send a prodding email to team members every few days until it looks like there are no more comments on that draft, make revisions and repeat this process until the deadline is near.?
0003. Draw a flowchart that represents the following protocol for enjoying a Saturday afternoon.
If it is sunny, go to the beach. If it is not sunny go to the movies.
If you go to the beach, if you are by yourself, take an umbrella and a good book. If you are with friends, take a bottle of wine and some nice cheese.
If you go to the movies alone, buy a monster popcorn and sit right up front. If you go with friends, be more restrained with the snacks and sit midway back.
Have a nice dinner afterwards.?
0004. If my new study method works, I should earn a 98 on the test. If it does not work, I will get a 79. Research suggests that there is a 75% chance it works. What is the expected value of my grade?

0005. This is an event tree problem, that is, there are no choices to be made. Work out the probabilities of each of the final outcomes.
There is a 72% chance that candidate A will win the presidency over candidate B. There is a 55% chance that candidate A's party will win control of the senate and a 30% chance that his party will win control of the house.?
0006. I need to take a certification exam this year. The exam cost is $200. There is a prep course for the exam, but I don't know if I need it or not. It costs $300 and if one takes it, one is certain to pass the exam. If I do not take the prep course there is a 50% chance of passing and a 50% chance of failing in which case I'd have to take the prep course anyway and then retake the test (total cost = prep course + twice the exam fee). Should I take the prep course??
0007. Continuation of previous question. I need to take a certification exam this year. The exam cost is $200. There is a prep course for the exam, but I don't know if I need it or not. It costs $300 and if one takes it, one is certain to pass the exam. If I do not take the prep course there is a 50% chance of passing and a 50% chance of failing in which case I'd have to take the prep course anyway and then retake the test (total cost = prep course + twice the exam fee).
It turns out that there is pre-test I can take for a fee of $25. It will tell me whether I should take the prep course or not. People who fail the pretest are more likely than the average candidate to fail the actual test if they do not take the prep course. In fact, the odds drop to only a 20 per cent chance of passing the exam on first try.
Should I pay for the pre-test and what should I do if I pass it? Fail it??

At what pre-test price would I change my decision about taking it??
