Answer:
The correct answer is option E (diversity in teams is beneficial because it provides for a larger pool of knowledge from which a team can draw as it carries out its work).
Explanation:
Diversity in an organization/team is broad in its definition as it describes a group of individuals who are from different backgrounds, races, ages, education working for a common goal.
When we talk about surface-level diversity, then we are pointing at those visible differences such as sex, age. While Deep-level diversity is those characters that are not visible such as beliefs, likes, dislikes, temperament.
Diversity in teams is beneficial because team members would have diverse backgrounds, experiences, problem-solving capacities, exposures, bringing diverse solutions to the team which leads to good team performance, and a quick, better solution to problems.
<span>The most recent study was done on June 1, 2017, and all information is from that date. There are 673 US District court judgeships and four territorial ones. At the time of this study, there were 160 active circuit court judges and 19 vacant positions, while there were 570 district court judges and a whopping 103 vacant positions.
There are 59 female circuit court judges, 37%. Men, therefore, are in 63% of positions. Intesretingly, this number has actually improved, with only one woman serving in 1977.
Disregarding race, 75% of circuit court judges are white, 13% African American, 9% Hispanic, and only 3% Asian American. 12 courts have African American judges, nine have Hispanic, and five have Asian American. Overall, all three percentages have risen since 1977 (with some variability), but interestingly, Asian Americans have only recently begun to rise in presence., starting in about 2010.
Combining gender and race, white men make up 45.6% of all circuit court judges, while Asian American women only make up 0.6%. In all races, men overpower women in numbers by a large amount.
Looking at age, the average is 64.7 years old, with over 50% over 65 and only 2% under 45. The vast majority were appointed between 45 and 54, though many came slightly before or after.
It is worth noting that the first openly gay circuit court judge was Todd M. Hughes, appointed by Obama in 2013.
If we are considering race, Asian Americans are the lowest represented. If we are considering gender, women are less represented. Overall in race and gender, Asian American women are least represented. Looking at age, people under 40 are underrepresented. Overall, though, the least common demographic would be open members of the LGBT+ community.
As you can see, this is not a straightforward question! It is a hugely interesting topic and one I plan to explore further.</span>
Answer: 88.89 or 89
Explanation: Futures contract refers to a legal binding which obligates a buyer and seller to transact about a commodity, good, security or services at a predetermined price but goods are delivered or paid for in the future.
Given the following ;
Portfolio value(p) = $20million
Portfolio Beta (b) = 1.2
Index price (i) = 1080
Multiplier = 250
Future value(A) = index price × multiplier
Future value(A) = 1080 × 250 = 270000
Number of contracts (N) = (portfolio value × portfolio Beta) ÷ future value
N = ($20,000,000×1.2)÷270000
N = 24000000 ÷×270000
N = 88.8888=88.89
N = 89 (NEAREST whole number)
