Phase 3

Using the same data set and variables for your selected topic that you used for phases 1 and 2, add the following information to your analysis:

        Discuss the process for hypothesis testing.
            Explain the 8 steps of hypothesis testing
            When performing the 8 steps for hypothesis testing, which method do you prefer; P-Value method or Critical Value method? Why?
    Perform the hypothesis test.

If you selected Option 1 (Salaries):

Claim: The average salary for all jobs in Georgia is less than $65,000. Test the claim using = 0.05 and assume your data is normally distributed and is unknown.

Based on your selected topic, perform and document the following steps:

        Write the null and alternative hypothesis symbolically and identify which hypothesis is the claim.
        Is the test two-tailed, left-tailed, or right-tailed? Explain.
        Which test statistic will you use for your hypothesis test; z-test or t-test? Explain.
        What is the value of the test-statistic? Show your calculation
        What is the P-value? Explain how you determined it
        What is the critical value? Explain how you calculated it
        What is your decision? Reject the null or do not reject the null? Explain why you made your decision including the results for your p-value and the critical value.
        State the final conclusion in non-technical terms.

Please show your work for the construction of the test-statistic and explain your process for finding the        p-value and critical value. You may use the Equation Editor to format your calculation steps on the Word document or attach an Excel spreadsheet clearly showing each calculation for #B4 and #B5, but your answers still need to appear on the Word document. Also, be sure to number each response in your paper using the same numbers as above

Hi,

The project we are completing is a communication campaign that incorporates theories we have learned in class about persuasion. The rubric is attached to that shows all required information needed. I also added our group proposal that includes the campaign idea which is ways to stay healthy during the COVID-19 Pandemic. The proposal includes the situational analysis and the campaign goals, but they aren’t very detailed so if you could update them and make them sound a little better that would be awesome. I also attached an example of what the teacher expects ours to look like in the end. I appreciate the help and please let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you!!!!

Read Marketing Myopia, an article written in 1960 by Theodore Levitt and published in the Harvard Business Review.  Read, reread, and consider the ideas advanced by the author.  Do you agree?  Disagree?  Are his ideas relevant today?  What are the strengths and weaknesses of his arguments?  The goal of this assignment is for you to critically assess the ideas advanced by the author using your own knowledge and experience to justify your position.

Clarity of argument while having a focused, concise presentation is key to your success in this assignment. The main themes put forward by the author should be addressed, providing a critical analysis of the hypothesis and the data used to support it.

The critique should include an introductory paragraph briefly summarizing the article and a concluding paragraph briefly summarizing the students position on the value/accuracy/relevance of the article. This assignment should draw on materials from the assigned readings and discussion materials, in addition to external materials, your past learnings, and your experiences.

These criteria must be met when submitting your article critique:

No topic

Purpose and Description
At some point in your life, whether it be in your professional or personal life, you will be asked to provide an audience with instructions for completing a task. It could be teaching your teenager to drive, showing a substitute what to do when you are gone, or demonstrating how to use software to a group of colleagues. For this assignment, you will select a procedure and create original step-by-step instructions for completing it. Your instructions will be comprehensive, using major and minor steps and plenty of visuals to clearly explain to an audience how to complete the procedure.

The choice of topic for this assignment is up to you, though it should be something that’s relatively inexpensive and straightforward to complete. Some topic ideas include:

A recipe for a complex dish that requires multiple major steps or stages
An art or craft project
A step-by-step walkthrough for a software function or video game
A home improvement or small building project
Etc.
This instructions assignment will provide you the opportunity to:

Practice writing step-by-step instructions for human involvement in a process.
Analyze an audience to determine your rhetorical strategies.
Include effective visuals that partner with the text to provide the reader with effective directions.
Include effective tips, results, and safety information to supplement the action-oriented steps.
Expectations
An effective set of instructions will:

Include at least 5 major steps (each composed of multiple minor steps).
Employ imperative/command mood in the text to create action-oriented steps.
Integrate effective original visuals like photographs, screen captures, diagrams, or illustrations with the textual instructions (at least one visual per major step).
Demonstrate goodwill with the audience and use appropriate grammar, spelling, and mechanics.
Clearly state the audience youre addressing and why. Reflect the audiences needs through your chosen content, organization, style and delivery.
Be carefully designed and submitted as a PDF file.
The assignment rubric also provides detailed evaluation criteria for this assignment. Consult the rubric closely as you’re composing.

Firm Analysis

Would you be interested in this assignment? Everything is on the document. If any other information is needed please ask. The assignment is on the Florida Panthers. Another thing I can add for step 2 is that the Florida panthers were one of the first teams in the NHL to start using TikTok as a marketing platform.

Assignment: Bronfenbrenner and life during COVID-19 pandemic
Assignment: Consider our own experience of living under social distancing during this COVID-19 pandemic.

a) explain what each of the systems is, so I can tell if you understand it.

b) How do the different systems come together in our city to shape how children  will be affected by the pandemic.  Focus your writing on their emotional development: this would include matters of mental health, such as fears and anxieties they may have about it; emotional regulation in terms of how they respond to the limitations put upon them by the social distancing and disease prevention measures.

and /or

cognitive development: in this matter think of what they are learning about disease, contamination, etc.  and also how they keep up with school learning.

I think these two areas of development are the most relevant to the present crisis. But if you’d prefer, feel free to look at their physical or social relationships instead.

You may find it helpful to look up emotional regulation in chapter 10, or skim what chapter 8 says about academic achievement to give you ideas of what to think about in terms of how different levels of culture contribute to the child’s development and have an effect o  how they come through this. But this assignment is really about understanding Bronfenbrenner, so you don’t need to be too complex in how you describe the issues. you can make it explicit, listing the systems levels and giving an example of that level when thinking of what helps or hinders children from coping with the current situation. How does the microsystem help or hinder? How does the mesosystem help or hinder, etc.

Please focus on a particular age range of childhood when you do this assignment, rather than mix ages.  Are you thinking of a preschool child, a grade-school child (6-12); a teenager (13-18)?

Annotated Bibliography

Assignment Instructions
For assignment one, you will compose an annotated bibliography in preparation for completing a literature review. Select an ethical issue in human resources related to a proposal you would like to make in your organization.  In the second assignment, you will build on your research and write a literature review in the form of a policy proposal on this issue.  As a result, select your issue in light of framing a proposal to senior leadership.
You will present information on this issue in two sections. The first section should be written in the form of an academic essay, providing an introduction of 2-3 pages that explains the issue you have selected and what you intend to propose to your organization. You will then create an annotated bibliography of at least 10 sources (no more than 12).
What is an Annotated Bibliography?
According to Purdue Owl Writing (2019), an annotated bibliography provides a summary and/or evaluation of each of the sources listed in a bibliography.  While any phrases directly quoted from the source should be properly indicated, an annotated bibliography should capture, in your own words, the key ideas contained in each source.
An annotated bibliography can provide many types of information. Depending on the nature of your assignment, an annotated bibliography will typically answer some or all of the following questions:
Summary: What are the main arguments presented in the source? What is the point of this source (i.e., book or scholarly article)? What topics are covered? If someone asked what this source is about, what would you say?
Assessment: Is this a useful source? In what ways? What unique or valuable information can this source provide? Is the information reliable? Does it have any weaknesses?
Record of Research: What are the main things you learned from this source? What do you need to remember about this source in order to find and access it quickly while writing your rough draft?
Mechanics: Submitted assignment should be submitted in APA format, include a cover page, and a 2-3 page introduction to the selected issue (including in-text citation and references as appropriate). The introduction should be written in the form of an executive summary:
What is the issue?
Why is it relevant to the organization?
Annotations go beneath the bibliographic listing for each source in paragraph form. The lengths of the annotations may vary; however, they must be a minimum of two paragraphs in length, but no more than 1 full page.
