II.

Read the following scenario and complete each of the four problem sets below:

Suppose we have a special deck of ten cards that have the following designs:

ï‚· The number 0 and a red square

ï‚· The number 1 and a blue square

ï‚· The number 2 and a green square

ï‚· The number 3 and a red circle

ï‚· The number 4 and a blue circle

ï‚· The number 5 and a green circle

ï‚· The number 6 and a yellow circle

ï‚· The number 7 and a blue triangle

ï‚· The number 8 and a green triangle

ï‚· The number 9 and a black star

1. Using the 10 card deck, how many sets of 3 can be made if the order of the cards

does NOT matter? How many sets of 3 cards can be made if order does matter?

Explain the difference between these two questions.

2. Suppose 2 cards are selected without replacement:

a. What is the probability of drawing a card with a different color if the first card is

the black star?

b. What is the probability of drawing a card with a different shape if the first card is

the green square?

c. What is the probability of drawing 2 blue cards?

d. What is the probability of drawing 2 circle cards?

e. What is the probability of drawing 2 blue cards OR 2 circle cards?

Question 1:

Transparency and accountability are big issues in government today. People want to know what the government is doing, how they are doing it, and whether or not it is effective. The Government Accountability Office (GAO) is charged with auditing and evaluating government programs and activities. You may or may not have seen news reports about the results of GAO audits or evaluations on issues related to public policies. In some cases, the audits or evaluations provide information about ineffective rules or gaps in procedures employed by administrative agencies. The audits and evaluations of the GAO, as well as the oversight performed by the executive, legislative, and executive branches of government, impact how administrative agencies function, how agency heads and employees behave, and how the rulemaking process is executed.

To prepare for this Discussion:

• Review Chapter 6 in the course text, Rulemaking: How Government Agencies Write Law and Make Policy and your Application Assignment this week. Think about the importance of oversight in the rulemaking process.
• Review the article, “Agency Responsiveness to the Legislative Oversight of Administrative Rulemaking: A Case Study of Rules Review in the Illinois General Assembly.” Reflect on how oversight is used and its impact on administrative agencies.
• Review the online article, “The Impact of Executive Order 13,422 on Presidential Oversight of Agency Administration.” Reflect on the evolution of presidential oversight of agency administration. Then consider the impact of presidential oversight on the balance between agency heads and the president and agency independence and flexibility.
• Review the article, “Enforcement and Oversight: Using Congressional Oversight to Shape OSHA Bureaucratic Behavior.” Consider the impact of oversight on the behaviors of agency heads and agency employees.
• Review the course media, “Administrative Agencies–Oversight and Accountability,” focusing on oversight and the impact on administrative agencies, agency heads, and/or the rulemaking process.
• Consider the importance of oversight in the rulemaking process.
• Think about the impact of oversight on administrative agencies, agency heads, and/or the rulemaking process.

With these thoughts in mind:

Post by Day 5 an explanation of the importance of oversight in the rulemaking process. Then explain how oversight might impact administrative agencies, agency heads, and/or the rulemaking process. Be specific and use examples to illustrate your explanations.

Question 2

Research and evaluation in the public and nonprofit sectors is accomplished with very limited resources. These limited resources include time, funds, knowledge, and more. These types of limitations often mean that one cannot create his or her own primary data, but instead, must use secondary data in research and evaluation projects. Secondary data are data that have been collected by another researcher at a different point in time.

For this Discussion, review this week’s Learning Resources. Consider the types of secondary data you might need to support your Final Project. This data may consist of published data sets (such as census data), statistics produced by governmental agencies, and so on. Identify at least two different sources of data to use for your post.

Post by Day 3 a description of the types of secondary data that would be useful in evaluating the program, problem, or policy you selected for your Final Project. Explain how it would impact the evaluation of the program, problem, or policy you identified.

Risk in the Project Environment 

• When looking at risks in the project environment, why are we concerned with the impact and probability of a potential risk event? 
• How could you sort through a long list of risks in a project so that focus is placed on the most important one(s)?
• When is the best time to assess potential risks in a project AND at what frequency?
• When is risk generally highest in a project – why?
