Otto orally agrees to install three wells for Green Space Energy over the next eighteen months. When the three wells are completed, Green Space Energy will pay Otto $10,000. After the first well is completed, Green Space Energy tells Otto that it does not want any more wells. Green Space Energy refuses to pay Otto for the first well, claiming that the contract was not in writing and, therefore, not enforceable. If Otto sues Green Space Energy to enforce the contract:

PART 2 – Score discussions   Discuss three (3) of the attached musical excerpts. For each selection, consider: If possible, identify the piece and composer (or suggest possible composers) What kind of composition is this? (What musical evidence supports your decision?)

 Your job as the research director in the Alabama Department of Youth Services is to advise the Director which policies to follow. In the past, you have heard that some institutions have had as many as 80 disturbances in a year.  The average number of disturbances (riots, stabbings, fights, etc.) per year per institution, though, is 35, with a standard deviation of 7.0.  The distribution is normal.  Answer the following questions.   a) What is the z-score for an institution that had 40 disturbances in one year?  What does this z-score indicate?   b) You want to give raises to the wardens in the prisons that have disturbances in the bottom 15% of the distribution, and fire the wardens in prisons in the top 15%.  What number of disturbances will be the cut-off for each of these decisions?   c) What is the probability that an institution would have 40 or more disturbances?   d) What is the probability that an institution would have 36 or fewer disturbances?
