A smаll cоmpаny is interested in determining hоw mаny оf its employees are still paying off student loans. However, the company doesn't want to allocate the resources required to survey every single employee. So they decide to randomly sample 2 individuals from each department using a simple random sample approach. There are a total of 5 individuals that work in the human resources department. How many possible distinct combinations of 2 individuals could be selected from the human resources department?
"Gimme 5%" - READ & ANSWER TO RECEIVE EXTRA CREDIT MUST READ & ANSWER TO RECEIVE THIS EXTRA CREDIT This very eаsily shоuld be cоnsidered EXTRA CREDIT (since I аm telling yоu thаt the answer for all of these will be the SAME and are COMMON SENSE). Just tryin' to give you a "bump" in quiz points for this LAST quiz of the semester. IMPORTANT: Although you might be tempted to just plug in the right answers and be done with the quiz, PLEASE...you MUST READ the questions for CRUCIAL INFORMATION. This question is worth 1.5 points = me helping everyone to do 5% better on this quiz. YAY! (And to remind you of a couple things based on having read these questions). 1. The LOWEST of my 5 quiz scores is automatically dropped (and only the average of the highest 4 quizzes are factored into my quiz grade category)! No need to contact my instructor to make sure cuz she already programmed it that way in Canvas Grades. [1] 2. GRADES in CANVAS vs. PATHWAY…& ROUNDING UP: When you see your “Total Percentage” in the class in Canvas, this is indeed the grade PERCENTAGE that you earned. BUT…Pathway is where your “official” final course grade will be reflected (with any extra bump that I could give you). I have “rounded up” in ALL cases and helped out when I could with your overall course percentage/letter grade. It was not always possible to get you to the next highest letter grade (based on how much I could ethically and professionally round up based on “the numbers” and your scores on coursework throughout the semester. I have a very small window of leeway to round up…but I already have as much as I could). ***You’re welcome! : ) Due to this, even though Canvas says a B+, you might actually get an A-) if the numbers worked out. ALSO…I didn’t just round up the normal way, in many cases I did I what I could to get you to the next highest letter grade MORE than just rounding! I did all the normal rounding and EXTRA “bump ups” that I could ethically justify. Again, your official LETTER grade is in PATHWAY, not Canvas! Sometimes it will be the SAME, but what you see on PATHWAY is your official grade in the class (which may or may not be higher than what you see in Canvas…but will NEVER be lower)!!! [2] 3. Another reason for which the LETTER GRADE that you see in Canvas may be LOWER than what you will officially receive in the course is because Canvas “letter grade breakdown” is not always in line with UMKC “letter grade breakdown” (UMKC’s is actually in your favor). Please see the grading scale for what grade you SHOULD receive based on the % earned (versus what letter grade you were awarded in the class, in the event that my rounding up helped you). If the LETTER grade that I document for you in Pathway is HIGHER than what you see BELOW in the UMKC grading scale, it is because of help that *I* have gifted to you!!!!! Consult the syllabus for the official grade letter-to-percentage indicator for the department (which may differ from the percentage-to-LETTER grade showing in Canvas). [3] 4. I will post your grades in Canvas (for your immediate view) within a couple days of the last day of class/end of the semester. I will also do the same in Pathway, but sometimes the system doesn't post official grades until the end of all final exams in all classes. PLEASE WAIT to ask any questions about your overall course grade UNTIL Pathway grades are viewable to you. [4] 5. Enjoy the rest of your semester (and this extra 5% curve on this quiz just by answering "yep...got it")! [5]
