3. Develop a high-level or summary: a. Risk Management Plan
Focus on specific, actionable steps for each risk and mitigation strategy.Provide detailed timelines for procurement, stakeholder engagement, and risk monitoring.Avoid over-simplifying and add more technical details in areas like quality assurance and financial control measures. Add a risk prioritization method and mention how risks will be monitored and reviewed throughout the project lifecycle. Overall, it is well organized andc overs key risks.
3. Develop a high-level or summary: Human Resource Management Plan
Provide more concrete timelines and actionable steps for human resource management.Include more detailed risk management strategies and link them more explicitly to the overall project plan.Expand on how training and development will be evaluated and tracked.Also, the overall length is good, but some sections could be condensed by eliminating repetition (e.g., you discuss stakeholder communication and engagement in two sections without adding new information).Try not to repeat the same risk management ideas (e.g., resource sharing and stakeholder concerns) in multiple sections without adding value.

- Major League Baseball's World Series is a maximum of seven games, with the winner being the first team to win four games. Assume that the Atlanta Braves and the Minnesota Twins are playing in the World Series and that the first two games are to be played in Atlanta, the next three games at the Twins' ballpark, and the last two games, if necessary, back in Atlanta. Taking into account the projected starting pitchers for each game and the home field advantage, suppose the probabilities of Atlanta winning each game are as follows.

Because a player in the NBA G League is still developing his skills, the number of points he scores in a game can vary substantially. Develop a spreadsheet model that simulates the points scored by each team. Assume that each player's point production can be represented as an integer uniform variable with the ranges provided in the following table. (Use at least 1,000 trials.) Player Iowa Wolves Maine Red Claws 1 [5, 20] [6, 12] 2 [7, 20] [15, 20] 3 [5, 10] [10, 20] 4 [10, 40] [15, 30] 5 [7, 20] [6, 10] 6 [2, 10] [1, 20] 7 [2, 5] [1, 4] 8 [2,4] [2,4] (a) Consider the points scored by the Iowa Wolves team.

The following table contains information on the number of RSVP guests for the 145 invitations. Unfortunately, the number of guests does not always correspond to the number of RSVPed guests. Based on her experience, the wedding planner knows it is extremely rare for guests to attend a wedding if they notified that they will not be attending. Therefore, the wedding planner will assume that no one from these 50 invitations will attend. The wedding planner estimates that the each of the 25 guests planning to come solo has a 74% chance of attending alone, a 20% chance of not attending, and a 6% chance of bringing a companion. For each of the 60 RSVPs who plan to bring a companion, there is a 90% chance that they will attend with a companion, a 4% chance of attending…arrow_forward

The current price of cocoa beans, as of today, is $2,260 per ton. There is an investor company who currently offers two types of risk hedging contracts: -Forward contract: $2,400 per ton at a fixed cost of $30,000. -Futures contract: $2,400 per ton at a cost of $50 per ton (therefore, the up-front cost is 1000 tons * $50 per ton = $50,000) Assume that the price of cocoa beans went down to $2,200 per ton in March 2023.
