IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING WORD LIMIT REQUIREMENTS:

Please note that each and every assignment has its own word limit.

The purpose of this assignment is to practice calculating confidence intervals.

For this assignment, students will utilize Excel and SPSS Statistics and the “Example Dataset.”

Using the “Example Dataset,” complete the following:

• Based on a normal distribution curve, calculate the probability of an individual being 60 years or older in this population. Show the Excel and SPSS formulas or your hand calculations. Include screenshots as needed to illustrate this.
• Using the sample standard deviation of age as an estimate of the population standard deviation, calculate by hand the standard error of the mean. Show your calculations and the answer.
• Calculate by hand a 95% confidence interval for “Age” based on the sample mean. Use SPSS to verify your answer. Include your calculations and screenshots of the SPSS output.
• Interpret the confidence interval for age and explain the three pieces of information needed to calculate a confidence interval.

Submit one Word document that includes all of the assignment deliverables.

Be sure to support your postings and responses with specific references to the Learning Resources.

It is important that you cover all the topics identified in the assignment. Covering the topic does not mean mentioning the topic BUT presenting an explanation from the context of ethics and the readings for this class

I am a stickler for good organization in everything. I do not want to have to dig for your answers. For instance, if an assignment asks you to provide three examples of something, I suggest that you number them 1-3 so I can find them easily. I also expect that when you submit something as a narrative, you pay attention to how you organize your thoughts: use paragraphs with a topic sentence and supporting sentences; and change paragraphs whenever you introduce a new idea. Also, if there are multiple parts to an assignment, use sub-heads within the paper to organize them.

To get maximum points you need to follow the requirements listed for this assignments 1) look at the word/page limits 2) review and follow APA rules 3) create subheadings to identify the key sections you are presenting and 4) Free from typographical and sentence construction errors.

REMEMBER IN APA FORMAT JOURNAL TITLES AND VOLUME NUMBERS ARE ITALICIZED.

Question: After reading Chapter 10, how could non or quasi experimental designs be used today? You may pick the industry and the concept needs to be relevant (but may be hypothetical).

The prefix quasi signifies “looking like.” Thus quasi-experimental research will be investigating that takes after experiments inquire about however isn’t correct trial examination. In spite of the fact that the autonomous variable is controlled, members are not haphazardly doled out to conditions or requests of conditions. Since the autonomous variable is controlled before the needy variable is estimated, quasi-experiments inquires about takes out the directionality issue. But since members are not haphazardly allocated making it likely that there are different contrasts between conditions quasi exploratory research doesn’t dispose of the issue of perplexing factors. As far as inside legitimacy, along these lines, quasi-experiments are for the most part somewhere close to related studies and genuine examinations. Quasi-experiments are well on the way to be led in field settings in which arbitrary task is troublesome or unimaginable. They are regularly led to assess the adequacy of treatment may be a kind of psychotherapy or an instructive mediation.

Research can likewise be nonexperimental on the grounds that it centers around a factual connection between two factors however does exclude the control of an autonomous variable, the arbitrary task of members to conditions or requests of conditions, or both. This sort of research takes two essential structures: connection look into and quasi-experimental examination. In, the specialist quantifies the two factors of enthusiasm with practically no endeavor to control superfluous factors and afterward surveys the connection between them. An examination strategy understudy who sees if every one of a few center school understudies have been tormented and afterward gauges every understudy’s confidence is directing relationship inquire about. In, the analyst controls a free factor however doesn’t arbitrarily allocate members to conditions or requests of conditions. For instance, a specialist may begin an enemy of tormenting program (a sort of treatment) at one school and look at the rate of harassing at that school with the frequency at a comparable school that has no enemy of tormenting program.

Question : After reading Chapter 10, how could non or quasi experimental designs be used today? You may pick the industry and the concept needs to be relevant (but may be hypothetical).

Quasi-experimental is a research that resembles experimental research but is not truly experimental. It is an empirical study used to estimate the causal impact of an intervention on its target population. Experimental research provides strong evidence but quasi-experimental won’t, this does not mean quasi-experimental research is not important. This type of non-experimental study encompasses a broad range of nonrandomized intervention studies (Harris et al., 2006) where it lacks the independent variable manipulation, random assignment of participants to conditions or orders of conditions, or both. Quasi-experiments are most likely to be conducted in field settings in which random assignment is difficult or impossible (Chiang & Price, 2015) and when the researcher does not have a particular research question or speculation about a causal connection between two factors. Similar to randomized trials, quasi-experiments aim to demonstrate causality between an intervention and an outcome (Harris et al., 2006).

For instance, researchers want to see the relationship between Coronavirus infection and the human body’s immune system. The first thing that is likely to occur is to obtain a sample of people we have been tested positive for Coronavirus. But this would be a single-variable study with immunity as the only variable. Although it would tell the researchers something about the immunity of people who have been infected, it would not tell them what they really want to know, which is how immunity of the patients who have been tested positive compares with the immunity who have not infected. With this type of non-experimental research, the researcher would not know whether the patient’s immune system ever went down, whether it remained the same or increased. To find out exactly, their sample would also have to include the group of people who have not been infected and those who got recovered from the infection. Thus, if the efficacy of the intervention has not been established, a randomized controlled trial is the design of choice to determine efficacy.

Assignment 311-1 

Instructions:

Read two chapters 15 and 17 of the classic book on power “Prince” by Niccolo Machiavelli. It can be found at: 

http://www.gutenberg.org/files/1232/1232-h/1232-h.htm

 

Machiavelli wrote the Prince (published in 1532) to advise princes about how to get, keep, and use political power. The book is still regarded as one of the most influential books on politics, especially on issues relating to political power.

In light of our class readings on power, write a 2-4 page essay comparing the textbook definitions of power (see especially week 1) with the notions expressed/ implicit in the excerpts from Machiavelli.  How can you relate these notions to prevailing norms in contemporary society and politics? Do you think that any of any of the advice offered by Machiavelli can apply to modern day politicians? Why? Why not?

 You will write a proposal, one page, typed, double spaced, 12 point font in Times New Roman, 1) clarifying your project, 2) why this topic is of interest to you and 3) the benefits of raising awareness of your chosen topic.  

 

. Project Proposal: Each student is responsible for producing a summary proposal, one page, typed. One, typed page identifying what you plan on doing. Clarify your vision and define a plan of action (How will you chose to present; Poster board, power point; create a fun game to raise awareness, etc.) for the project. What is the desired outcome (particularly, how will your project raise awareness)?

So my topic is LGBTQ and the Workplace.. and I choose powerpoint to present it..
