For companies that have a mission of selling, a major objective is to motivate the salespeople. While that are many factors that go into motivating these people, one of the primary factors is the compensation plan that describes how they will be rewarded.Research a large organizations sales force and its compensation plan.Write a five to seven (5-7) page paper in which you:1. In order to motivate the sales force to produce the highest number of clients, describe six (6)features of an effective total rewards program.2. Describe the behaviors of the sales force that are targeted with the compensation plan.3. Assess how a value proposition is achieved for current and future employees in the plan you have outlined.4. Based upon the type of plan you have created, indicate how attracted you think future salespeople may be to this plan.5. Use at least six (6) quality academic resources in this assignment. Note:Wikipedia and other Websites do not quality as academic resources.Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; references must follow APA or school-specific format.

Curriculum evaluation and change can employ a variety of processes. Those involved can be external to the organization, within the organization, or a combination of both. The drivers of change can be experts, implementers (instructional designers, teachers, or trainers), or learners.In this assignment, describe the process that best fits your current or anticipated area (K12, higher education, corporate training, or military).Select an institution in your area of instruction such as K12, higher education, and so on, and describe the practices and procedures for curriculum change within that institution.Answer the following questions:Who should have primary responsibility for evaluating the curriculum for your type of organization?Who should have input on how effective the curriculum is?What are the advantages and drawbacks of a team approach to curriculum evaluation?What steps are essential in the evaluation and change process?Be sure to support your position with a variety of sources, and use APA manuscript format.

Probability Homework Problems(1) Rolling three distinguishable dice (e.g., assume that there is a way to tell them apart, for instance, that the dice are three different colors). Let Bk be the event that the maximum value that appears on all three dice when they are rolled is less than or equal to k. Find P(B1), P(B2), P(B3), P(B4), P(B5), and P(B6). Keeping the set-up the same, give a general formula for P(Bk).(2) A student buys a brand new probability textbook that has 500 pages, numbered from 1 to 500. She randomly opens the book to a page and starts to read. Assume that any of the 500 pages are equally likely to be chosen. Using inclusion and exclusion to find the probability that the page number she chooses contains at least one 5 as a digit. Keeping the set-up the same, what is the probability that the page number contains at least on 3 as a digit.(3) Consider a well-shuffled deck of 52 cards, and draw at random three cards. What is the probability that at least one is an ace?(4) Suppose that there are four restaurants in Chicago that have the same name, Sweet House. Four students are going to meet at Sweet House. If each student chooses a restaurant at random, calculate the probability that: i) All four choose the same restaurant; ii) All four choose different restaurants.(5) Assume that events A1, A2, and B1 are independent and the events A1, A2, and B2 are independent. Also assume that B1 and B2 are disjoint. Prove or disprove the events A1, A2, and B1 ? B2 are independent.(6) Roll a die. Let A be the event that the outcome on the dice is an even number. Let B be the event that the outcome on the dice is 4 or smaller. Let C be the event that the outcome on the dice is 3 or larger. Are A and B independent? Are B and C independent?
