CASE FOUR:MEASUREMENT AND VALIDATION | 1. In Table 3.1, the traditional selection model shows a high p-value of 0.26 for education being citizenship and absence. The correlation score is 0.01, which means that education has little to no impact on the correlation between education and citizenship and absence. The interview score also has a p-value of 0.26, so this means that the interview score also does not relate to the correlation between performance and the interview. If the company is going to use the traditional selection model, it would do best by seeking out the lowest p-value with a high correlation score.
EXCEPTIONS: overcome rule by finding a REAL promise - frame illusory promise as unilateral contract => enforceable ex. Gurfein (99): had window to cancel, but didn’t => enforceable ➢ COULD HAVE bound other party if exercise option - Implied promises ➢ UCC §2-306 (2): a contract to engage in exclusive dealing gives rise to an implied promise to use best efforts Ex. Wood v. Lucy (104): mkt designs for profits ➢ ct implied promise: to make reasonable efforts b/c w/o implied promise, the contract would be meaningless b/c structural agreement = incentive to use best effort is built in Ex. Grouse (110): promised at-will job, not allowed to start work ➢ implied promise in at-will jobs = “good faith opportunity to perform satisfactorily’ - Structural agreements Ex. Lacledes(106): supply propane for long period ➢ although not bound to purchase, practical binding exists ➢ pipes connected to Amoco supply source ➢ hostage theory of contracts: voluntarily
However, I do not find the argument to be that convincing. After reading this argument, I did not find it to have stimulated my mental capacities. However, based on what it has presented, the argument is valid and most of all makes sense because it originates from definitions that provide a solid base for the argument. The objections to this argument do raise several valid points to the concept of whether or not the “maximally great” being in question does have a universal position across all the worlds he may or may not exist in. What if there is no level of “maximal greatness” in one world?
Hypotheses actually use statistical and analytical data to ensure that it is verifiable, and this allows for the falsification or verification, in which I mentioned earlier. Hypotheses usually are pretty much never actually proved because the research normally shows that the evidence supported the actual hypothesis and any more research would be built upon that
You indent the quote 10 spaces, or a 1” (two tabs), to set it apart from the rest of your text. No quotation marks are used because the indentation shows it is a direct quote. The quote is double-spaced like the rest of your paper and there are no extra spaces before or after the quote. It is left justified but not right justified. At the end of your long quote, include the in-text citation right after the end punctuation.
Does Ken’s employment contract fall within the Statute of Frauds? Why or why not? No, Ken’s employment contract does not fall within the Statute of Frauds, because the contract was not in writing. The Statute of Frauds objective is to avert the likelihood of a nonexistent agreement between two parties ("The Free Dictionary By Farlex", 2014). The Statute of Frauds is also designed to confirm that, for specific types of contracts, there is dependable evidence of the contract and its terms (Miller & Jentz, 2010, p. 209).
They determined from this evidence that these countries have systems that are “superior and more affordable than the services presently available in Canada.” While superiority and affordability are fine attributes of a health care system, they were of no relation to the issue before the court: wait times. If wait times were at the heart of the constitutional challenge, I deduce that there are two glaring flaws to the holding judges’ opinion. First, nowhere in the reasoning do the holding judges note that the evidence refers to wait times. Secondly, nowhere in the reasoning do they note that creating a two-tiered system would be the solution to the present problem. The holding judges make no valid connection between wait times and two tiered systems, nor do they make a valid argument that two-tiered systems are a practical solution to the issue at hand.
The parol evidence rule does not apply here because the existence of the entire written contract is subject to an orally agreed-on condition. Proof of the condition does not alter or modify the written terms but affects the enforceability of the written
Additional requirement for admissibility of multiple hearsay A hearsay statement is not admissible to prove the fact that an earlier hearsay statement was made unless: either of the statements is admissible or all the parties to the proceedings agree; or the court is satisfied that the value of the evidence in question, taking into account how reliable the statements appear to be, is so high that the interests of justice require the later statement to be admissible for that purpose. ‘Hearsay statement’ means a statement, not made in oral evidence, that is relied on as evidence of a matter stated in it. Memory refreshing A witness giving oral evidence in court may use a document to refresh his or her memory, provided that the document was made (or verified) by him at an earlier time, and provided: he states that the document records his recollections of the matter at that earlier time and his recollection of the matter is likely to have been significantly better at the time the document was made, than at the time of his oral evidence.

The parties are not required to exchange consideration. A simple contract is any contract. viii) An offer is a statement of the terms which the client (the offeror) is prepared to be contractually bound. The offer must be complete, specific and capable of being accepted. It must include the fundamental terms of the agreement with the intention that no further negotiations are to take place.
