Step 1

Prepare: In order to prepare for this assignment, view the Scholarly and Popular Sources (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. tutorial from the Ashford University Library.
Step 2

Reflect: Good research is a combination of many types of sources. Prior to taking this course, did you understand the differences between these sources and the importance of finding one type of resource over another?

Step 3

Write: For this discussion, you will address the following prompts:

  • Explain at least five differences between popular and scholarly sources used in research.
  • Locate and summarize one peer-reviewed, scholarly source from the Ashford University Library and one popular source that pertain to your Final Paper topic. In your summary of each article, comment on the following: biases, reliability, strengths, and limitations.
  • From the sources you summarized, list and explain at least five visual cues from the peer-reviewed, scholarly source that were not evident in the popular source.

Your initial post should be at least 250 words in length, which should include a thorough response to each prompt. You are required to provide in-text citations of applicable required reading materials and/or any other outside sources you use to support your claims. Provide full reference entries of all sources cited at the end of your response.

What is the standard deviation of your probability distribution?

/in /by

Three hundred consumers between 21 and 49 years old were randomly selected. After sampling a new wine cooler, each was asked to rate the appeal of the phrase: “Not sweet like wine coolers, not filling like beer, and more refreshing than wine or mixed drinks” as it relates to the new wine cooler. The rating was made on a scale from 1 to 5, with 5 representing “extremely appealing” and with 1 representing “not at all appealing”.

As a manager overseeing the development of the concept, you bottle the wine cooler and placed it into distribution in one test store.

Your manager has asked you to assess the data and determine the most likely customer based on the ratings. Additionally, your manager would like you to review sales in the test store.

Use the Week 3 Data Set to create and calculate the following in Excel®:

  1. Estimate the probability that a randomly selected 21 to 49 year old consumer:
    • Would give the phrase a rating of 5
    • Would give the phrase a rating of 3 or higher
    • Is in the 21-24 age group
    • Is a male who gives the phrase a rating of 4
    • Is a 35 to 49 year old who gives the phrase a rating of 1
    • Based on the probabilities for the ratings of 4 and 5, which age/gender demographic would be the best target audience for the new concept?
  2. Create a probability distribution using the data which shows how many cartons of the wine cooler were bought per customer in a month.
    • Calculate the mean and the standard deviation of your probability distribution.
    • Calculate the probability that exactly 3 six packs will be bought in a month.
    • Calculate the probability that between 4 and 8 six packs will be bought in a month.
    • Calculate the probability that at least 5 six packs will be bought in a month.
    • Calculate the probability that no more than 5 six packs will be bought in a month.
  3. Create a relative frequency distribution based on the wine cooler drinking temperatures.
    • Create 6 bins with the same interval in each.
    • Create a histogram
  4. Considering the mean and standard deviation for the ideal drinking temperature:
    • Calculate z values then refer to Table 6.1 – Cumulative Areas Under the Standard Normal Curve
    • Calculate the probability of the wine cooler being less than 45 degrees.
    • Calculate the probability of the wine cooler being greater than 60 degrees.
    • Calculate the percentage of wine coolers served at the ideal temperature, between 49 and 55 degrees.

4.Read ch.12 and respond back to this post below between 200-210 words

I found his chapter very interesting and eye opening. I know women and men are treated differently, I just never realized how we re still socializing our children to go with the “norm” instead of breaking away from it. I expect my daughter to help out around the house, my son as well but not as much. There is also a age gap of almost 10 years between them so I have rationalized that I am keeping it age appropriate, but I am questioning this now. The other thing that is making me rationalize it is that I want my daughter to know how to keep her own house, cook her own food and work hard for what she wants, I do not want her to depend on anyone but herself. (I want this for my son as well but he is never going to leave his mommy!!!) I guess I expect more from my daughter than I do my son, don’t get me wrong I want great things for my son as well but I want my daughter to be strong, independent, and successful because she will be competing against men to be this type of woman. When I think about all the things I want for my daughter versus my son I see that I am contributing to the socialization of the gender/sex. I also do find this wrong….

Synthesis Paper-Origins of Behaviorism

/in /by

Synthesis is the act of creating something new from multiple existing entities. Synthesis of research, then, is creating a new idea from existing ideas. It is a process developed through time and practice. In this assignment, you will apply the synthesis process to the articles and topics from the first four Topics of this course. Consider the development of behaviorism, including the precursors and contemporaries of the early behaviorists. What limitations existed in those theories and practices, and how did the early behaviorists aim to resolve them?

General Requirements:

Use the following information to ensure successful completion of the assignment:

  • Refer to the annotated bibliography and outline you created in the Topic 2 assignment along with the assignment feedback from your instructor.
  • Review the journal readings from the first four Topics of this course. You may wish to create annotations for the readings from Topics 3 and 4 for use in the synthesis process.
  • This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.
  • Doctoral learners are required to use APA style for their writing assignments. The APA Style Guide is located in the Student Success Center.
  • Use academic sources, including peer-reviewed journal articles, scholarly books, government reports, and other instructor-approved texts.
  • You are required to submit this assignment to Turnitin. Refer to the directions in the Student Success Center.

Directions:

Locate the annotated bibliography and outline you created in the Topic 2 assignment. Using the outline you developed, the information from the annotated bibliography, and the feedback provided by your instructor, write a paper (2,000-2,250 words) that synthesizes the articles you have read and addresses the following:

  1. Trace the origins of behaviorism and the impetus for its development.
  2. Discuss behaviorism as the 2nd major force in psychology and why is behaviorism a “better” alternative than the first force of psychology which was the Freudian psychoanalytic theory.
  3. Name three crucial researchers in the school of behaviorism.
  4. Analyze the contributions of these researchers to the development of behaviorism.

In-N-Out Business Strategy

In-N-Out Burger as a franchise has developed a business strategy which consist of growing slowly, yet steadily (Cafferky, 2012, p. 587). After reading the case study on In-N-Out, I can conclude the restaurant’s leadership values quality, precision, and loyalty. My assumption is their strategy is slow to insure they make the right decisions and are successful in all they do. If the company rushed it could lead to a decrease in the company’s quality. Slow and steady wins the race. In 2006, the plan was for In-N-Out to open 10 to 12 stores a year for the next five years. I believe this franchise is wise to continue to grow, yet in increments. Some negatives to this strategy in the long-term is this restaurant could be choked out of existence. As other restaurant franchises grow quickly and move across the nation and into other countries. In-N-Out’s niche of simplicity and quality could be lost in the rapid development of competitors. However, I believe this will not be a huge problem for In-N-Out Burger. It may be wise for their leadership to investigate ways to prevent this from happening. A business strategy must be effective and efficient, yet hard-to-imitate (Teece, 2010, p. 180). In-N-Out Burger, has a hard strategy to overcome by the quality they hold in their product which, so many competitors rarely think about. Competitors in the fast-food industry often have plans for fast, cheap, and easy. In-N-Out has none of these qualities in their business strategy.

Case Study about Tesla

/in /by

Hi, I need a paragraph long answers for each questions below! Thanks!

Read the HBS Tesla Motors case and the posted article, “Sorry, Tesla fanboys: The best zero-emissions semi runs on fuel cells”. Answer the following questions in your case note:

1. By using Porter’s five forces framework, analyze the industry structure.

2. In case, it says “Ghosn projected annual sales of 500,000 by 2013, which is the level where he believed the Leaf could be profitable without subsidies. Worldwide sales for 2011 and 2012, however, were only about 21,000 and 26,000 respectively.” Why do you think Nissan Leaf could not meet the expectation?

3. By using Value Chain Analysis, analyze Tesla Motor. Pick three or four most crucial activities. What are the critical sources of competitive advantages of Tesla?

4. In case, it says “In developing the car battery, Tesla made a surprising choice (P.7).” What was surprising? How did this choice make Tesla different from competitors?

5. The semi-truck business is a $30 billion per year industry in the US alone. While Tesla accelerates the introduction of BEV (Battery Electric Vehicle) trucks, a new entrepreneurial company, Nikola aims to take this market with an alternative technology, Fuel-Cell. In this technology competition (BEV vs FCEV in the heavy-truck market), who do you think will be a winner? Why?

6. How is Nikola’s business model different from other truck manufacturers? Why is this meaningful?

SOC 210 Major Project

The overarching goal of SOC 210 is to assist you in developing the tools and knowledge to better understand the world you live in. At DCCC SOC 210 has applied for and received permission to be a ‘global studies’ course. Of course, a very good method with which to provide you with the knowledge, skill and abilities that will enhance your understanding of the world in which you live is to ‘personalize’ the experience.

In sociology we will examine groups, culture, institutions, poverty, race and gender, ethnicity, equality and much more by using a variety of sociological theories and concepts. These topics are interesting and informative in-and-of themselves. However, in the name of retention you will stand a much greater chance of understanding and applying sociological theory to these topics if you study them from a personal perspective.

We can all agree that we came from somewhere. Our ancestors might have been indigenous to what is now America. Our ancestors may have migrated from Europe, Mexico, Africa, Scandinavia, China, Japan Vietnam or….virtually from anywhere in the world!

Your task is to identify the most probable country from which your ancestors came. More than likely you will be part something and part something else. Use your judgement and ask a bunch of questions. This may take a little work as many of us are not exactly clear where our ancestors came from and, in fact, our ancestors may have multiple ethnicities. I would encourage you to ask your parents and grandparents, they will be a great source of the oral history of your family. You can also perform some basic internet research that will assist you in identifying your ancestor’s country of origin. Google your last names of your father and the maiden name of your mother. Do the same for your grandparents and continue as far back as is known (great grandparents etc.).

Here is the important part:


Writing Prompt

Write a 1-3 page, (double spaced) essay on your probable country of origin.

  • What was the approximate year that they would have arrived in the US?
  • What were the possible reasons that, at some point in time, your ancestors decided to come to America?
  • What were they seeking?
  • Were they oppressed in their country of origin?
  • What was life like in their home country when they decided to immigrate?
  • Were they welcomed upon arrival?
  • How did they assimilate?
  • What role does the food from the previous culture influence their life today?
  • What were the barriers to success they found after they arrived?
  • How are religious and or ethnic minorities treated today in this country?
  • Are people from this area still immigrating to the United States?
  • Reference Page– This will be an additional page. Reference style can be APA or MLA

Political Systems, Structures, and Functions

/in /by

The United States (U.S.) and United Kingdom (U.K.) are two very interesting countries. They have shared many direct interactions over the last three centuries and have many political similarities and differences. For example, these two democratic countries utilize both similar and different political systems, structures, and functions. A study of these systems, structures, and functions will certainly expand your understanding of comparative politics.

Write a research paper comparing the political systems, structures, and functions of the U.K. and the U.S. Compare the advantages and disadvantages of each political system. Explain how and why different socialization agents affected the structure of these political systems. Evaluate one U.S. policy program and one U.K. policy program to determine if they meet the needs of their respective populations.

The paper should be organized into the five following sections:

  • Introduction and thesis.
  • Comparison of the advantages and disadvantages of U.S. and U.K. political systems.
  • Explanation of how and why different socialization agents affected the structure of the U.S. and U.K. political systems.
  • Evaluation of one U.S. policy program and one U.K. policy program to determine if they meet the needs of their respective populations.
  • Conclusion.

The paper must be 6 pages in length (excluding title and reference pages) and formatted according to APA style. You must use at least three scholarly resources other than the textbook to support your claims and subclaims. Cite your resources in text and on the reference page.
