STATISTICS DATA BASE Final Project

/in /by

Attached was the midterm project now i need the final project done 

Requirements:

  • No more than 2 to 3 pages
  • Present the findings using the skillset acquired (topics covered) in class.
  • Also include the dataset with the analysis (could be excel or any statistical package). You should provide details of the analysis in an Appendix.

How are the 40 points given: 10 for each Module you choose to apply. (For example, you choose regression to test an association or predict an outcome, you get 10 points for that analysis)

Data Analytics is a subject that can be best appreciated only when applied to a dataset you are familiar with. The aim of this project is to achieve that. Do not view this project as a hurdle in the course, rather a bridge to connect the topics you learnt to your work or subject domain. There are five main modules in this course:

  • Module 1 : Normal Distribution (Percentile, distribution of means, and chance of occurrence if we assume normal distribution)
  • Module 2 : Confidence Interval Estimation (Including Sample Size determination)
  • Module 3 : Inferences from data (Hypothesis testing, i.e., confirming or checking if a claim made about the data. In this module, we dealt with only one sample)
  • Module 4 : More Inferences from data (Multiple samples)
  • Module 5 : Regression analysis (Both simple and multiple, apart from basic ANOVA)
  1. Bring your own data from work (you can remove any private or confidential information, for example: if you are bringing any sales or cost data of an item/product or service – the name can be masked)
  2. Use data from your previous work or company you have access to (again you can remove any private/confidential information)
  3. Use data from public domain – In today’s world, there is no dearth of structured data. Here are some places where you can get data from:

 Brave New World

.         

Required Resources
Read/review the following resources for this activity:

  • Textbook: Chapters 15 and 16
  • Lesson
  • Minimum of 1 scholarly source (in addition to the textbook)

Introduction
The Cold War ended over a decade  before the 21st century began. What was supposed to be a “Brave New  World” free of the threat of nuclear conflict and a long period of peace  and prosperity has been less than what was expected. Yes, communism as a  threat to the world and to the dominance of the United States and  capitalism has come to pass, but even though the threat of war from the  USSR never materialized (thankfully) a new threat did rise up to  challenge the U.S. and the West for control. The rise of radical Islamic  groups bent on destroying those they call infidels, especially the  United States and Western Europe have caused more than a little death,  destruction, and despair to a world hoping those threats had ended.

Instructions
For the initial post, address one of the following:

  • Option 1: Why wasn’t the U.S. and its vastly  superior intelligence and military able to stop these attacks? How  effective are current measures in dealing with attack prevention? Have  we really learned from past mistakes?
  • Option 2: What new problems did the Iraqi War cause  for the U.S. and its allies around the world? What effects has it had  on the U.S. economy?
  • Option 3: How much more difficult is it to battle  an idea or faith, even a violent one, skewed and brutal than to defeat a  nation in war like the U.S. and its allies did during World War II?  Consider the role technology plays in the dissemination of faith.
  • Option 4: Compare  European imperialism to current globalism. How has each changed society,  both in industrialized nations and developing nations? Is the claim  that globalism is a form of imperialism valid?
  • Option 5: Where do we go from here? Who will the  best friends and the worst enemies of the United States be in the coming  decades? Will we really, finally achieve that peace and prosperity we  all hoped would come to pass?

​How Cases Are Made

It is accepted wisdom that technological advances have radically altered the path of criminal investigations. Crimes that were once impossible to solve have been given new hope with science. An unintended consequence of these advances has been a reliance on scientific methods at the expense of “good-old-fashioned police work.” Both clearly have their place in the investigative process. 

Your assignment this semester will be to research the uses of an assigned investigative technique currently employed by law enforcement agencies. When conducting your research, be sure to gather information on the following points: 

1. Introduction to the technique. For many of these topics, you can begin your research at some of the websites listed on the syllabus. 2. Historical development of the technique. This should include the inventor or developer of the technique and the first time the technique was applied to criminal investigations. 3. Current uses for investigators. This includes what types of crimes the technique is most commonly used to investigate, what information the investigators are hoping to obtain by using the technique, and how this information will advance a criminal investigation. 4. Problems encountered when testifying in court. This includes the hurdles that the technique has had to overcome in the past, and current problems experienced when an officer or expert has to testify at a criminal trial. 5. Shortcomings and/or misconceptions. This includes erroneous perceptions that the public has of the technique and inflated expectations of the technique. For example, should the public expect DNA testing to be a viable technique to investigate a burglary case?6. Predictions for future uses for criminal investigations. The National Institute of Justice, a research and development institution within the United States Department of Justice that evaluates current programs, has a section devoted to forensic sciences and a section devoted to law enforcement that may help you develop this section. 7. Concluding remarks. This is your overall evaluation of whether the technique has ultimately been a help to criminal investigations or if the problems encountered outweigh the benefits to make the technique virtually useless.

Final Analysis of a Selected Test

/in /by

 References: A minimum of nine references. These may include journal articles, literature reviews, MMY reviews, and publisher websites. At least five of the nine references must be from professional journals. It is likely and appropriate that many of these references and citations were included in one or more of your previous assignments. Alternatively, you may want to supplement your paper with current, peer-viewed journal articles you located after completing an earlier assignment. Those inclusions would also be acceptable.

  • Length of paper: At least six pages (not including title page, abstract, or references).

Final Analysis of a Selected Test

This assignment is a culmination of the previous assignments you have completed during this course. In this assignment, you will synthesize your previous research as well as conduct research on the final element in the Code, Element 9. Element 9 states that a test user, “evaluate(s) the available evidence on the performance of test takers of diverse subgroups . . . determine(s) to the extent feasible which performance differences may have been caused by factors unrelated to the skills being assessed.” Together, the previous course assignments and this current one involving Element 9 will provide you with the data, research, and literature reviews across all nine elements of the Code to assist your decision-making process about the appropriate selection of a test.

For this final assignment:

  • Locate reviews or research related to how Element 9 applies to your selected test. If the research or reviews do not address this element in any way, then you will need to cite the references you reviewed and note that they were lacking in in addressing this element, drawing appropriate conclusions for when a test is lacking such evidence.
  • Synthesize all of the data and information you gathered on your selected test throughout the course and identify highlights, both positive and negative, both advantages and disadvantages, according to all nine elements of the Code. See the link in the resources about the Meaning of Synthesis.
  • Evaluate your selected test based on these data and draw a conclusion about whether it is a test that you would select, recommend, or even defend, if necessary in practice. Note: You should not merely copy and paste your earlier assignments for the final paper. Instead you will be synthesizing the research you completed for each element into a summary of that element that you will offer in support of your final evaluation. (For example, note that the technical quality element (that is, Element 5) will be only a synthesis and evaluation and not a repeat of the annotated bibliography you completed in Unit 5.)
    • Identify the strengths or weaknesses for each element, and determine if the information about that element supports (or opposes) the use of your selected test in the field and population to be served.
    • Incorporate recommendations about ways to improve the selected test.
    • Review all of your evaluations for each element and recommended improvements to the test, and write an overall evaluation and determination about the use of your selected test. Would you recommend this test to a school district or business that you are employed as a consultant? Would you be able to defend the use of this test in a court proceeding?

Instructions for the content of the paper are in the template located in the Resources. Write your assignment using the u09a1 Assignment Template [DOCX].

Additional Requirements

Your paper should meet the following requirements:

  • References: A minimum of nine references. These may include journal articles, literature reviews, MMY reviews, and publisher websites. At least five of the nine references must be from professional journals. It is likely and appropriate that many of these references and citations were included in one or more of your previous assignments. Alternatively, you may want to supplement your paper with current, peer-viewed journal articles you located after completing an earlier assignment. Those inclusions would also be acceptable.
  • Length of paper: At least six pages (not including title page, abstract, or references).

Note: The articles you need to complete this assignment should be available inside the library collection. In future courses, you may use the Capella library’s Interlibrary Loan service to obtain articles outside of the collection, but you should not have to use the service for this course. In the event that you cannot find articles covering a newer test edition, please refer to the List of Tests by Type document in the resources. Note which tests have been designated as acceptable for searching prior test editions.

macroeconomic 5 paragraph essay unemployment

/in /by

Here are four individuals telling you their stories of how they became unemployed. In a multi-paragraph essay, apply the theories of unemployment to explain the type of unemployment that each of these individuals is facing and explain which of these individuals qualifies for unemployment benefits:

Two months ago, Marcelle used to work full time in an automobile manufacturing firm. “The factory where I used to work has closed because our market contracted so much, and so I was laid off. This is happening to people all over the country-all you see in the papers is that economic growth has fallen and incomes across the country have fallen. I have been looking very hard for a new job, but have had no luck yet.”

Until last week, Dominic used to work full time as a hair-dresser in downtown Cincinnati. “I decided to quit my job, because I want to move to New York City.”

Until last month, Francine worked part time at a ski resort. “Well, it is summer now, and so the resort is closed. I will apply again in the winter when the snow is back. I am not interested in working until then.”

Two months ago, Beauvoir had been working full time as a secretary. “I was a good typist, but I don’t know how to use a computer. My boss wanted to upgrade the office to computers, and so I was replaced by someone who is computer-savvy. I have been looking for another job, but it appears that I need to learn some computer skills.”

Develop a response that includes examples and evidence to support your ideas, and which clearly communicates the required message to your audience. Organize your response in a clear and logical manner as appropriate for the genre of writing. Use well-structured sentences, audience-appropriate language, and correct conventions of standard American English.

Situated near the HCC SouthShore campus is RCMA Wimauma Academy, an elementary school that made the news when students won first place in the national online US Matific Math Games, as reported by ABC News (March 2018).  Let’s look a little more closely at competition and education in middle and late childhood (Chapter 5, pages 164-214). 

Instructions and Prompt

View the video above, Wimauma Elementary School Takes First Place in Math Competition. You must view the video in its entirety (1:00) in order to complete the discussion. After reviewing the video and Chapter 5 in the textbook (Links to an external site.), please answer the following questions:

  1. First paragraph prompt: Using information from the video and thinking about academic competition among children, describe what you see as possible advantages AND disadvantages of academic competition. Be specific and draw upon examples that you view from the video.  
  2. Second paragraph prompt: Let’s expand the prompt and views about competitions. You don’t have to answer all of these questions, but use these questions in sharing your views in the second paragraph:  What is the appropriate age for competition? Does it matter if the competition is athletic or academic? Should boys and girls compete against each other? What can be gained and/or lost through competition? What role, if any, should parents play? Is recognizing a number one, or winner, in a competitive situation better or worse than presenting everyone who participates with an award/trophy?
  3. Reply to at least two of your peers’ posts.  Each reply should be thoughtful. A thoughtful reply means good use of examples, clear explanations, elaborated on the answer, and/or utilized relevant module/text resources.

Component #3

BASIC ENGLISH ASSIGNMENT : NARRATIVE ESSAY

/in /by

 Tell Your Story: Narrative Essay:

In week one, you chose an idea for your narrative essay. In week two, you wrote an introductory paragraph. In week three, you wrote a body paragraph.  Now it is time to finish the draft of your essay, revise it, and submit it for a final grade.  Below are a few things to consider when writing and revising your narrative:

Purpose:

A narrative essay has a purpose, so you need to have intent and a reason for telling a particular story. Did the time in your life change you in some way? Did you learn a valuable lesson?  What is the reason for telling this story?

Main idea/Thesis:

Whatever your purpose for writing the essay, you will let the reader know in your opening paragraph as you introduce the story. Stating the main idea, also known as a thesis, lets the readers know what to expect as they read. Your thesis may look like this: “The day I applied to college, my outlook on life changed.” Another example might look like this: “Choosing to have a child opened my eyes to other goals.” As you write your essay, keep your thesis in mind, and this will help keep you on track as you write.

Story Elements:

A narrative essay will have the same elements as a short story or novel.  You will have a plot, the series of events that form the story, and a climax, a moment near the end of the story where the conflict in your story is most tense.  Narrative essays should also have characters and a resolution to the conflicts.

Descriptive Language:

You can use descriptive language in your narrative essay. In week three, you practiced describing an object and a setting.  Descriptive language helps your reader connect to your story and have a lasting impact. 

Narrative Essay Instructions:

  • The following criteria reflect the areas needed for a successful narrative essay.
  • The essay should have a clear purpose and a main idea/thesis statement within the first paragraph.
  • The narrative should share a larger lesson with the audience than simply retelling an event. 
  • A strong narrative centers on a conflict building from introduction to body to a thought-provoking resolution. 
  • It should use descriptive language to bring the reader into the experience. 

Please see Norton pages 121-30 and Little Seagull pages 58-61 for more details about the qualities of an effective narrative essay.

Requirements:

  • 600 word narrative essay
