Explain how the eye eye is adapted to its function

• An introductory paragraph with a thesis statement.
• Three body or supporting paragraphs.
• A concluding paragraph.
• In-text citations and a reference page. (Remember to reference and cite any supporting information you are taking from your articles-if it is not your original thought, there needs to be a citation and reference.)

In this reflective writing exercise you will analyze yourself with regard to the stage of development at which you are today as a critical thinker, and critique your strengths and challenges in the matter of becoming an advanced critical thinker with advanced reasoning skills.

As you internalize critical thinking concepts, models, and theories, what questions do you have about being a fair-minded critical thinker? After the course ends, what is your strategy about becoming a fair-minded thinker that you may use in your career and the rest of your academic program?

Directions
Using the concepts learned through the readings and lecture pages, write a critical analysis essay that answers at least three of the following:

• How will you employ critical thinking as a tool for your career aspirations?
• Describe the role that critical thinking plays in your life today.
• Explain and offer examples of how you might further apply critical thinking in your life.
• What does this course have to do with good analytical thinking in general or with your particular beliefs and mindset?
• Explain a point of view or primary value you sometimes rely on to guide your thinking.
• Briefly describe how you personally analyze and assess thinking.
• List three inferences you have made in the past. Is it possible to separate emotions from issues that are heavily based on belief systems such as religious beliefs?

Requirements

• In this Critical Thinking assignment, you need to back up your ideas and claims with scholarly sources. Keep in mind that critical reasoning and thinking skills are not the same as opinions. While it is acceptable to write in the first person, as needed for this assignment, be sure to support your ideas with valid, reputable, and scholarly articles.
• Include at least 1-2 scholarly sources that are not required or recommended readings for this course. The CSU-Global Library is a good place to find these sources.
• Your paper should be 4-5 pages in length, well written, and formatted according to the CSU-Global Guide to Writing and APA.
• Include a title page, an academic introduction and conclusion, and a reference page.

Review the grading rubric for this assignment, which can be accessed from the Module 2 folder, to understand exactly how you will be graded. Be sure to reach out to your instructor if you have questions about the assignment.

Write a letter to a friend(s) or family member(s) explaining how stories in the New York Times and other media (articles, news reports, letters to newspapers, letters to students, quotes, songs, etc.) on the free speech controversy raging across the country have engaged you in a public conversation in class and made you feel like a member of a national or global community.

Assignment 1: Bottling Company Case Study

Due Week 10 and worth 140 points

Imagine you are a manager at a major bottling company. Customers have begun to complain that the bottles of the brand of soda produced in your company contain less than the advertised sixteen (16) ounces of product. Your boss wants to solve the problem at hand and has asked you to investigate. You have your employees pull thirty (30) bottles off the line at random from all the shifts at the bottling plant. You ask your employees to measure the amount of soda there is in each bottle. Note: Use the data set provided by your instructor to complete this assignment.

Bottle Number	Ounces	Bottle Number	Ounces	Bottle Number	Ounces
1	14.23	11	15.77	21	16.23
2	14.32	12	15.80	22	16.25
3	14.98	13	15.82	23	16.31
4	15.00	14	15.87	24	16.32
5	15.11	15	15.98	25	16.34
6	15.21	16	16.00	26	16.46
7	15.42	17	16.02	27	16.47
8	15.47	18	16.05	28	16.51
9	15.65	19	16.21	29	16.91
10	15.74	20	16.21	30	16.96

Write a two to three (2-3) page report in which you:

1. Calculate the mean, median, and standard deviation for ounces in the bottles.
2. Construct a 95% Confidence Interval for the ounces in the bottles.
3. Conduct a hypothesis test to verify if the claim that a bottle contains less than sixteen (16) ounces is supported. Clearly state the logic of your test, the calculations, and the conclusion of your test.
4. Provide the following discussion based on the conclusion of your test:

a. If you conclude that there are less than sixteen (16) ounces in a bottle of soda, speculate on three (3) possible causes. Next, suggest the strategies to avoid the deficit in the future.

Or

b. If you conclude that the claim of less soda per bottle is not supported or justified, provide a detailed explanation to your boss about the situation. Include your speculation on the reason(s) behind the claim, and recommend one (1) strategy geared toward mitigating this issue in the future.
