Assignment Content

  1. Purpose 
    This assignment provides an opportunity to develop, evaluate, and apply bivariate and multivariate linear regression models.

    Resources: Microsoft Excel®, DAT565_v3_Wk5_Data_File

    Instructions:
    The Excel file for this assignment contains a database with information about the tax assessment value assigned to medical office buildings in a city. The following is a list of the variables in the database:

    • FloorArea: square feet of floor space
    • Offices: number of offices in the building
    • Entrances: number of customer entrances
    • Age: age of the building (years)
    • AssessedValue: tax assessment value (thousands of dollars)
    • Use the data to construct a model that predicts the tax assessment value assigned to medical office buildings with specific characteristics.

    • Construct a scatter plot in Excel with FloorArea as the independent variable and AssessmentValue as the dependent variable. Insert the bivariate linear regression equation and r^2 in your graph. Do you observe a linear relationship between the 2 variables?
    • Use Excel’s Analysis ToolPak to conduct a regression analysis of FloorArea and AssessmentValue. Is FloorArea a significant predictor of AssessmentValue?
    • Construct a scatter plot in Excel with Age as the independent variable and AssessmentValue as the dependent variable. Insert the bivariate linear regression equation and r^2 in your graph. Do you observe a linear relationship between the 2 variables?
    • Use Excel’s Analysis ToolPak to conduct a regression analysis of Age and Assessment Value. Is Age a significant predictor of AssessmentValue?
    • Construct a multiple regression model.
    • Use Excel’s Analysis ToolPak to conduct a regression analysis with AssessmentValue as the dependent variable and FloorArea, Offices, Entrances, and Age as independent variables. What is the overall fit r^2? What is the adjusted r^2?
    • Which predictors are considered significant if we work with α=0.05? Which predictors can be eliminated?
    • What is the final model if we only use FloorArea and Offices as predictors?
    • Suppose our final model is:
    • AssessedValue = 115.9 + 0.26 x FloorArea + 78.34 x Offices
    • What wouldbe the assessed value of a medical office building with a floor area of 3500 sq. ft., 2 offices, that was built 15 years ago? Is this assessed value consistent with what appears in the database?
    • Submit your assignment.

Conducting research and creating a supporting research report serves two important purposes with respect to your project:

  • It explains your technological choices in terms of business benefits and risks. This explanation is critical for executive approval.
  • It either reinforces or improves your plan—but only if you apply the results of your research to a new draft of your plan. In the industry, project managers develop their plans iteratively by changing them as they conduct more research and identify better or cheaper alternatives. This iterative approach is especially relevant to IT projects because new technologies are being developed and retired at a very quick pace.

For this assignment, you will compile research and create a supporting research report. Then, based on your research, you will identify and explain the rationale for three improvements to the project plan you submitted last week.

Compile additional research on your project’s industry, recommended technology vendors, and the categories presented in the supporting research report. You may want to include the Gartner Group and Forrester Research in your list of organizations to research.

Complete the Supporting Research Report template.

Create a second draft of your project plan. Highlight in yellow at least three changes you made to the network, database, and/or cloud solutions within the second draft based on the in-depth research you conducted this week and explain why you made the changes.

Submit your Supporting Research Report and second draft.

Reflective essay 3

/in /by

In Chapter 7, Crooks and Baur (2017) describe some of the ingredients in a lasting love relationship, and they describe some of the main characteristics of lasting love relationships as quoted by research studies in the text. Also, the authors discuss the impact of attachment styles on intimate relationships as well as the importance of sexual communication.

In a maximum of 500 words, reflect on the prompt below:

When reviewing different attachment styles (pg.204) and characteristics of people in lasting loving relationships (pg. 210/212), did anything instantly come to mind  that could affect your potential for a lasting loving relationship (such as your parents have been married several years or not)? To the extent that you feel comfortable sharing, is there any area that you think you may want to or need to do some self-improvement for the sake of a current or future loving relationship in terms of supportive communication, companionship, sexual expression, and sexual communication?

These are just a few examples, which you could reflect upon:

  • Maybe you don’t feel comfortable with vocalizing your sexual needs, but you would like to find ways to be more vocal about what you need now from your partner now or in the future, etc
  • Maybe one of your goals is to improve your active listening skills, and the textbook opened your mind to the importance of communication in a relationship,etc, even if you tend to be an introvert
  • Maybe the illustrations in the text have opened your mind to various ways that people express themselves sexually, and you would be open to suggesting something to a current or future romantic partner in order to add variety to a sex life, etc

Nearly 800 million all over the world face hunger which inhibits the growth of children and affects the economy. The world countries adopted the goal of zero hunger as one of the sustainable development to improve people’s lives by 2030 (WFP, 2018). According to the United Nations World Food Program, the goal of zero hunger is to eradicate hunger, improve the conditions of food security in addition to improving nutrition and promoting the sustainability of agriculture (WFP, 2018). Feeding America and Feed the future is an international initiative that is undertaken by the United States to address global hunger (USAID, 2019).

           Hunger and the economy of a country are related and the hungrier the country has the worse the country’s economy is affected. Chronic hunger leads to micronutrient deficiency and malnourishment, childhood underweight, iron deficiency, and vitamin A deficiency. Food availability depends on the socio-economic status of the country (Gödecke, T., 2018).  Children who face hunger are more likely to have stunted growth both physically and mentally. In the United States, child hunger costs nearly $28biollion per year as poor nourishment leads to long-term health illnesses. In addition, hunger in high school kids leads to increase school absences and low grades which led to a loss of almost $19.2 billion dollars in 2010 (Iowa Food Bank Association, n.d.).

           Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) in the United States provides a food budget to families who are unable to access healthy food. SNAP program aided 2.5 million people to get out of poverty. The school lunches provided by Feeding America helped in lifting 1.2 million people out of poverty. SNAP program has helped in stimulating the economy in the United States. According to Food Research and Action Center, every $5 that is spent on SNAP benefits provides twice the amount in the economy (FRAC, 2020).
