PLEASE EXPLAIN STEP BY STEP THE ANSWER..

The Mobile Oil company has recently acquired oil rights to a new potential source of natural oil in Alaska. The current market value of these rights is $90,000. However, if there is natural oil at the site, it is estimated to be worth $800,000; however, the company would have to pay $100,000 in drilling costs to extract the oil. The company believes there is a 0.25 probability that the proposed drilling site actually would hit the natural oil reserve. Alternatively, the company can pay $30,000 to first carry out a seismic survey at the proposed drilling site. Historically, if the seismic survey produces a favorable result, there is a 0.50 chance of hitting oil at the drilling site. However, if the seismic survey produces an unfavorable result, there is only a 0.14285 probability of hitting oil. The probability of an unfavorable seismic survey when no oil is present is 0.80.

a. What is the probability of a favorable seismic survey?

b. What is the probability of an unfavorable seismic survey?

c. Construct a decision tree for this problem.

d. What is the optimal decision strategy suing the EMV criterion?

Q3 Static views are also known as data dictionary because they change infrequently, i.e., when there is a change to the data dictionary. There are three types of static views [1]:
Static Views
DBA_ view: displays all relevant information in the entire database. This view is inteded for administrators.
ALL_ view: displays all the information accessible to the current user, including information from the schema of the current user and information from objects in other schemas.
USER_ view: displays all the information from the schema of the current user.

3. How do you plan to finish this project

4. What makes you qualified to work on this project.

Any introduction of a new technology into a society initiates an endless series of effects, especially for those who have and use the technology compared with those who do not or cannot use the technology.

Write a 1,400- to 1,750-word paper that addresses how new media technologies affect social and societal issues.

Address the following:

• Assess whether there is a measurable “digital divide” in the availability and use of technology between the haves and the have-nots in society domestically and globally
• Critique new media technologies and the digital divide:

• What is the socioeconomic effect within our society?
• What are the consequences in the global economy?

• Describe the role of the Internet in social alienation.
• Explain why ethically the influence of new media technologies is important for us to understand.

Conclude your paper by answering the following questions:

Based on historical examples, do you foresee these digital divides narrowing or widening

• In the next 5 years?
• In the next 25 years?
• What are the ethical implications of your forecast?

Explain and justify your answers.

Cite at least three peer-reviewed sources to support your work.

Format the paper consistent with APA guidelines.

Consider the following:

The law attempts to balance individual rights with the rights of society. Two areas in which this conflict is particularly challenging are intellectual property rights as they relate to online materials and the new kinds of surveillance that digital media enable.

Write a 700- to 1,050-word paper on whether you think the law has achieved an appropriate balance in protecting conflicting rights regarding copyright protection and digital surveillance.

Address the following points in your paper:

• The ease of copying and sharing materials on the Internet and its effect on copyright
• The influence of the open-source movement on attitudes toward copyright
• The relationship between creativity and innovation with intellectual property rights
• The personal and professional effects of digital surveillance versus organizational needs for information and control, such as employer monitoring of employee computer use, business monitoring of customers’ Internet behavior, government monitoring of citizens, and so on
• Whether foreseeable changes in copyright protection and digital surveillance will improve or impair the balance in the future

Cite at least two peer-reviewed sources to support your work.

Java Jet Proposal Scenario

Java Jet, Inc. has created a specialized espresso machine that makes five specialized espresso drinks at a time. Java Jet wants to enter into a contract with Bright Lights, Inc. in the state of New York.

Java Jet has been operating as a corporation and has been very creative in its design of the espresso machine. Bright Lights, Inc. has its principal place of business in Paris, France, and plans to operate specialized coffee houses in multiple locations in New York state and Paris.

Bright Lights is very interested in the espresso machine. Jeffrey, Java Jet’s vice president of operations, is negotiating the contract with Bright Lights. Jeffrey owns a significant amount of stock in Bright Lights, but he does not disclose that to Bright Lights.

Corporate responsibility is a business’s concern for society’s welfare. The newest theory in social responsibility is called sustainability. This theory refers to the idea that socially responsible companies will outperform their peers by focusing on the world’s social problems and viewing them as opportunities to build profits and help the world at the same time.

Ethics refers to the moral principles or values that generally govern the conduct of an individual or group. Ethics can also be viewed as the standard of behaviour by which conduct is judged. A code of ethics may be adopted as a guideline to help employees make better decisions.

Goal:

Select one company from this list of 2015 Most Ethical Companies – HYPERLINK “http://web.ethisphere.com/worlds-most-ethical/wme-honorees” http://web.ethisphere.com/worlds-most-ethical/wme-honorees

Research their website (and beyond, if necessary) for explanation on why they are voted a top ethical company. Examine and evaluate how their corporate profile and messaging upholds this position.

Your one-page report should summarize the following in your own words:
Why did you choose this company?
Does the company have a social responsibility message, if so what is it?
How has the company demonstrated or promoted this message? Is this a broad philanthropic approach or have they aligned with specific partners?
What is their long-term strategy? If not stated, can you guess?
Have they stated corporate ethical guidelines? What are they?
How do they communicate and uphold these guidelines internally (employees) and externally (with customers, community)?
