/in /by

You manage Human Relations for your company. One of your sales managers has retired, leaving an opening. You are considering two different employees for the position. Both are highly qualified so you have decided to evaluate their sales performance for the past year.
Use the Week 4 Data Set to create and calculate the following in Excel®:
1.Determine the range of values in which you would expect to find the average weekly sales for the entire sales force in your company 90% of the time.
◦Calculate the impact of increasing the confidence level to 95%?
◦Calculate the impact of increasing the sample size to 150, assuming the same mean and standard deviation, but allowing the confidence level to remain at 90%?
2.Based on the calculated confidence interval for weekly sales on the sample of 50 reps at a 90% confidence level:
◦Calculate both Reps’ average weekly performance and highlight if it is greater than the population mean.
3.You want to determine whether there is a statistically different average weekly sales between Sales Rep A and Sales Rep B.
◦Create Null and Alternative Hypothesis statements that would allow you to determine whether their sales performance is statistically different or not.
◦Use a significance level of .05 to conduct a t-test of independent samples to compare the average weekly sales of the two candidates.
◦Calculate the p-value?
4.Considering that individual you did not promote:
◦Determine whether this person’s average weekly sales are greater than the average weekly sales for the 50 sales reps whose data you used to develop confidence intervals.
◦Create Null and Alternative Hypothesis statements that would allow you to determine whether the new Sales Manager’s weekly average sales are greater than the sample of Sales Reps.
◦Use a significance level of .05 to conduct a t-test of independent samples to compare the average weekly sales of both.
◦Calculate the p-value?

Assignment Instructions

When an instructor provides feedback for you on an essay that
you have submitted, here are the objectives of that feedback:

  1. Identify areas of strength
  2. Identify areas of improvement
  3. Understand the importance of developing learning strategies and available tools
  4. Know how to scaffold learning strategies and tools to create a self-lesson plan
  5. Use instructor recommended sources, if provided, to incorporate into self-lesson plan
  6. Report self-lesson plan, goal, and progress made toward lesson plan and goal

Purpose:
The assessment will help you the student to develop further
self-lessons by identifying helpful feedback, establishing resources,
creating goals, and identifying progress indicators.

After-action Assessment:

This
assignment is an After-Action Assessment. You will review your first
essay and the feedback you have received from your instructor. You
should receive a downloaded file with comments and/or tracked changes
from your instructor. If you do not, please contact your instructor to
receive your feedback.

For
this assessment, you will present a thoughtful, well-researched,
organized evaluation of what worked, what did not work, why, and what
you have found to help you manage the opportunities for improvement that
your instructor has pointed out to you.

This assessment is graded. You will not receive
track-changed feedback even though the response will be run through
Turnitin, unless expressly determined by your instructor that the
assessment is not transparent enough based on the expectations in this
directive.

Failing to complete this report does have an impact on your overall grade. There are four areas to cover in this assessment: Assets, opportunities, lesson/homework plan, and progress/further study. The
total word count for this assessment is a minimum of 350 words. To earn
a higher grade, the After Action Assessment should use greater detail,
and fall in the upper part of the 350-500 word range. To earn the
highest grade according to the rubric, students should write more than
500 words.

1. Assets:

Your
instructor provided you with feedback regarding areas in which you are
strong, as well as a rubric that includes feedback as well. Writing in
narrative style, identify several strengths using no fewer than 50 words. (Do not include the instructions in this count.)

2. Opportunities:

Your instructor provided you with feedback regarding areas in which you are not as strong. Writing in narrative style, identify 3 areas of improvement on which you might work using no fewer than 100 words each. The list below is not complete, but it should provide some suggestions from which to structure a lesson and homework plan.

  1. What comments or corrections were made regarding your paper’s setup? Title? Spacing?
  2. What comments or corrections were made on your essay’s structure and style of essay?
  3. What comments or corrections were made about the length of your paper? Was it a minimum submission or sound and substantial?
  4. What comments or corrections were made about your thesis statement?
  5. What comments or corrections were made about your topic sentences?
  6. What comments or corrections were made about your about your use of transitions?
  7. What comments were made about the use of quotes or paraphrased sources?
  8. What comments or corrections were given to you about your language errors?
  9. What comments were made about the use of your resources?
  10. Were there any other comments your instructor asked you to pay particular attention to in the future?

3. Lesson and Homework Plan:

Be
specific in your identification of three (3) opportunities to improve,
and once you have identified these opportunities, suggest ways you might
be able to overcome these difficulties in your writing.

You
might find a YouTube video (include links) that you can watch that
would clarify the item your instructor pointed out in his/her feedback.
You might search for helpful websites (include links) that are useful.
These may include websites that host exercises. You should have at least 2 resources for each of the 3 lesson opportunities you select.

4. Progress Made/ Future Plans:

Also, please include any small progresses you have made and any continued homework scheduled.

Example
of a partial assessment: My instructor pointed out that I use
semicolons incorrectly. I was under the impression that any two
sentences that were complete were allowed to be linked by a semicolon. I
have identified two websites offering semicolon exercises and PDF that I
can use for reference. After spending a half an hour on the exercises
at https://depts.dyc.edu/learningcenter/owl/exercises… and http://www.bristol.ac.uk/arts/exercises/grammar/gr…,
I believe I have a better understanding of the grammar rule. I worked
on the exercises for an hour a day for four days. My goal is to work one
hour a day until I can make 100% on the exercises five times in a row. I
will know that I have conquered this nemesis when I can revisit the
website exercises once more prior to the next essay or end of the course
and continue to make 100% on the exercises. I’ll know that I am master
of the mistake when I can confidently help someone else make the
correction by translating my knowledge and experience.

(This is 165 words. Remember that you are choosing three. This was only one.)

Define the following Business Terms in a PowerPoint presentation. Use your creativity to illustrate each term.

There
are multiple elements to this SLP. Please make sure that you follow
the requirements very carefully and double-check your work against the
requirements before uploading.

SLP Assignment Expectations

This SLP requires that you define 23 Business Terms in a slideshow where each slide contains both verbal and visual elements.

The best way to approach this assignment is to follow the order of
the terms as they are presented. Begin with ‘Accounts Payable’ and end
with ‘Variable Cost’. DO NOT skip around and present the terms
out-of-order. This can lead to confusion and run the risk of missing
terms. It also makes it difficult for the reader to follow.

What the slides must contain is noted below. Make sure that you
double-check your work against the Expectations before you upload.

Your PowerPoint presentation should be a minimum of 10 slides.
Include a Title and References Cited slide. Creative images can be found
using Internet websites, scholarly articles, textbooks, etc. Your
References slide should list the bibliographical information for each
image you use to illustrate the required terms. Each slide must contain:

  • At least one image per term
  • Abbreviated text defining the term
  • References cited next to each image (full reference will be included
    on the References Cited slide, so refer to the Writing Style Guide on
    how to use in text citations next to each image)
  • Full definition in each Notes section
  • Upload your document as a PowerPoint file into the SLP 2 drop box by the module due date. name file David green and this one is slp
