Assignment Content

  1. Purpose 
    This assignment illustrates how data analytics can be used to create strategies for sustainable organizational success while integrating the organization’s mission with societal values. You’ll apply statistical time series modeling techniques to identify patterns and develop time-dependent demand models. You’ll practice organizing and delivering a presentation to senior decision-makers. The PowerPoint presentation includes an audio component in addition to speaker notes.  

    Resources: Microsoft Excel®, DAT565_v3_Wk6_Data_File

    Scenario: A city’s administration isn’t driven by the goal of maximizing revenues or profits but instead looks at improving the quality of life of its residents. Many American cities are confronted with high traffic and congestion. Finding parking spaces, whether in the street or a parking lot, can be time consuming and contribute to congestion. Some cities have rolled out data-driven parking space management to reduce congestion and make traffic more fluid. 

    You’re a data analyst working for a mid-size city that has anticipated significant increments in population and car traffic. The city is evaluating whether it makes sense to invest in infrastructure to count and report the number of parking spaces available at the different parking lots downtown. This data would be collected and processed in real-time, feeding an app that motorists can access to find parking space availability in different parking lots throughout the city. 

    Instructions: Work with the provided Excel database. This database has the following columns:

    • LotCode: A unique code that identifies the parking lot
    • LotCapacity: A number with the respective parking lot capacity
    • LotOccupancy: A number with the current number of cars in the parking lot
    • TimeStamp: A day/time combination indicating the moment when occupancy was measured
    • Day: The day of the week corresponding to the TimeStamp
    • Insert a new column, OccupancyRate, recording occupancy rate as a percentage with one decimal. For instance, if the current LotOccupancy is 61 and LotCapacity is 577, then the OccupancyRate would be reported as 10.6 (or 10.6%).
    • Using the OccupancyRate and Day columns, construct box plots for each day of the week. You can use Insert > Insert Statistic Chart >Box and Whisker for this purpose. Is the median occupancy rate approximately the same throughout the week? If not, which days have lower median occupancy rates? Which days have higher median occupancy rates? Is this what you expected?
    • Using the OccupancyRate and LotCode columns,construct box plots for each parking lot. You can use Insert > Insert Statistic Chart >Box and Whisker for this purpose. Do all parking lots experience approximately equal occupancy rates?Are some parking lots more frequented than others? Is this what you expected?
    • Select any 2 parking lots. For each one, prepare as scatter plot showing occupancy rate against TimeStamp for the week 11/20/2016 –11/26/2016. Are occupancy rates time dependent? If so, which times seem to experience highest occupancy rates? Is this what you expected?
    • Presentation: 
      Create a 10- to 12-slide presentation with speaker notes and audio. Your audience is the City Council members who are responsible for deciding whether the city invests in resources to set in motion the smart parking space app. 

      Complete the following in your presentation: 

    • Outline the rationale and goals of the project. 
    • Utilize boxplots showing the occupancy rates for each day of the week. Include your interpretation of results.
    • Utilize box plots showing the occupancy rates for each parking lot. Include your interpretation of results.
    • Provide scatter plots showing occupancy rate against time of day of your selected four parking lots. Include your interpretation of results. 
    • Make a recommendation about continuing with the implementation of this project. 
    • Submit your assignment.

Ride sharing companies are largely hailed as the advent of the gig economy, which is the idea that people do not work as permanent employees for one employer but instead work in a labor market characterized by short-term contracts or freelance work. While creating a new type of entrepreneurship for individuals, a gig economy raises a host of new legal questions about the law of agency for companies utilizing gig workers.

Widgets operates a ride-sharing business in a small town.  Your boss at an investment firm has asked you to evaluate Widget’s legal exposure for the conduct of its drivers, given the information below and identify, and to explain the law and legal liability in this vast new gig economy world.

Write a 3–4 page interoffice memo in which you do the following:

  1. Summarize the main principles of agency law as they relate to Widgets’ relationship with its drivers.

The Rhythm Study

/in /by

 Use the three representative, “play” objects from The Childhood Space Exercise. Record your exercise in an audio recording, post the recording and your essay in the “Discussions” link. Take time to investigate the objects with each of your senses. One of the objects has a deeper resonance’ than the others. Place the object down and sit erect and comfortably in a chair, close your eyes, and practice slow methodical breathing. Inhale on a four-count, pause for a four-count, exhale on four, and pause for four. Repeat the cycle until the mind becomes quiet. Now, follow the directions on the recorded audio guide. Begin the exercise by sitting quietly with eyes closed and only clap out the rhythms. Feel free to express any rhythms physically, they can be simple or as complex as a drum solo. After completing the exercise, remember the most powerful sense memory recollection and its accompanying emotion. What was the most distinct memory? Did you re-experience any sensation? What sense did you remember most vividly? What was the moment you re-experienced most vividly? What happened during that memory? How did you feel about that movement? Where did that memory feel strongest in your body? Write a 250-word essay on your experience and post it for class reaction. Be sure to talk about what you experienced while clapping out the rhythm of the personality.

MIS103 – Job Search Databases

/in /by

Instructions

There are many job search websites that are freely available. The underlying structure of these websites is a database that organizes job listings or ads and allows users to search and browse the listings. Similar to reports in a database, most sites contain alert and notification features available to users, so that you can create an automated alert email when a new job that meets your specified criteria is posted.

Take some time to explore and compare the layout and features of at least two of these sites, or any other job search sites that you know of.

Then, answer the following questions in your journal entry:

  • How do you see the database concepts you have learned about in this module at play in the job search websites you explored?
  • How might your knowledge and experience with database structures allow you to better utilize these sites?
  • What job search site(s) do you think is most helpful for your career goals?
  • Which features or tools of these sites did you find useful, and why?

Submit a 300- to 500-word essay reflecting your thoughts on the questions asked above through the Assignment Dropbox by the end of Module 3 for Journal Entry 3. Please also use APA in-text citations and references for sources you used.

  1. Obtain the four-digit primary SIC (Standard Industrial Classification) Code and industry title for your company. Record the primary SIC code and industry title at the top of the Ratio Analysis Worksheet.
  2. Obtain industry averages for commonly used ratios in the current period. Industry average information is reported by industry title or SIC code.
  3. Look up the following industry-average ratios:
    1. Current ratio
    2. Debt ratio
    3. Gross profit margin
    4. Times interest earned
    5. Accounts receivable turnover
    6. Inventory turnover
    7. Return on Sales
    8. Asset Turnover
    9. Return on Assets
    10. Financial Leverage
    11. Return on Equity

Note that some industry averages may not apply to your company.
Alternative to Industry Averages:

If you are not able to find the industry average for part 3 of your project, please consider the following:

Unfortunately, some of the websites where you can find industry averages will require you to pay for them. Instead of using industry average, calculate the same ratios for one of the competitors to the company you used in your project. That will give you the comparative information you need for Part 3 of the project. I believe this will help.

  1. Write a 3-5 page report comparing the above ratios to industry averages. Discuss whether your company’s profitability, efficiency, liquidity, and solvency are better than, or worse than, its peers. The report should be well written with cover page, introduction, body of paper (with appropriate subheadings), conclusion, and reference page. References must be appropriately cited. Format: Double-spaced, one-inch margins, using a 12-point Times New Roman fon

Each of your answers should be written using your own words. Do not copy and paste from your textbook or an Internet source. Simply copying from the book word-for-word does not show me that you understand the concepts. Ensure you cite your work and add reference(s) at the end of your journal. This assignment is designed to see if you are reading and understanding the material from your textbook and learning modules, so these should be the sources you are citing in your work. You should not need to do research from additional resources unless the question specifically asks you to do so; you should not be Googling the answers for these questions.Please review the APA module under the “Getting Started” area if you need assistance.  As a criminal justice professional, it is imperative that you learn the finer aspects of writing.  Citing and referencing are part of the gradable criteria for your weekly work.All questions are worth 20 points:

  1. Suicide is more of a sociological problem than a psychological problem. Create an argument agreeing or disagreeing with this statement.
  2. State and defend your position on pornography. Is pornography destructive to the family and society, socially useful material, or harmful to women? Why?
  3. Describe and discuss the U.S. Supreme Court’s 1993 definition of sexual harassment. What is that definition, and why does it represent an important change? Why do some people, especially conservative men, fear this new definition?
  4. Identify and describe the two traditional classifications of mental disorders. What are these types characterized by? Which is the most debilitating?
  5. Compare and contrast voluntary hospitalization and involuntary hospitalization for mental illness.
