You can pick any format to use (Chicago, MLA, etc.), as long as you are consistent. I do not expect you to do any additional research as the information in this course and from the textbook should be sufficient. Because these topics below are broad, I will expect you to narrow the one you choose appropriately. Make sure to have a thesis statement and use examples from the art we have studied in this unit (chapters 1-7) to prove your thesis. Make sure you include examples from the majority of chapters covered.
  3. only use the textbook as your source

Estimating for Samples

/in /by

  • Use provided data files and scenarios to complete a confidence interval and to estimate a sample size. For both scenarios, create tables to demonstrate your methods and findings and write brief summaries (3–5 sentences) to communicate your results to relevant stakeholders.Note: The assessments in this course build upon each other, so you are strongly encouraged to complete them in sequence.

    Context

    Sampling is used when it is not feasible to survey an entire data population, such as when trying to determine how many people living in New York City drink Diet Coke. By using the proper statistical methods, you can sample the population to determine, within an established confidence level, a statistically valid number to answer your survey question.

    Questions to Consider

    To deepen your understanding, you are encouraged to consider the questions below and discuss them with a fellow learner, a work associate, an interested friend, or a member of the business community.

    Resources

    Required Resources

    The following resource contains the data needed to complete the assessment.

  • Assessment Instructions

    Use the following files, linked in the Resources under the Required Resources heading, to complete both of the scenarios for this assessment:

    • Confidence Interval Calculator.
    • Area Gas Prices – Random Sample.
    • Sample Size Estimator.

    Practical Application Scenario 1

    To complete this scenario, use the Confidence Interval Calculator and the Area Gas Prices – Random Sample files.The Minneapolis Star Tribune newspaper has decided to write an article about gasoline prices in the Twin Cities area (Minneapolis and Saint Paul, Minnesota). The Star Tribune has designed a survey and taken a simple random sample of regular, unleaded gas prices at 70 area stations. The results are in the Area Gas Prices – Random Sample file. The Star Tribune’s policy is that no data will be reported unless it is 95 percent confident that the numbers are correct. As the new manager of the data verification unit at the Star Tribune, you need to develop a 95 percent confidence interval for the average price of regular unleaded gasoline in the area.

    • Complete a confidence interval for the data provided, using tables to demonstrate your method and findings.
    • Write a 3–5 sentence summary that communicates your results to the Star Tribune‘s business manager.

    Practical Application Scenario 2

    To complete this scenario, use the Sample Size Estimator file.The third shift at Microsoft Windows’ security unit in Redmond, Washington, is considering replacing its coffee brewing units with new German-made brewers. As the newest member of this elite Microsoft team, you have been assigned to investigate this proposal. Develop a 99 percent confidence interval for the average yield (cups per pound) for the new German coffee brewer. The margin of error should be no bigger than .3 (three-tenths of a cup). Based on experience with the current coffee makers, your best guess for the population standard deviation, sigma, is 1.2 cups. How large a sample do you need?

    • Calculate the estimated sample size needed for the above scenario, using tables to demonstrate your method and findings.
    • Write a 3–5 sentence summary that communicates your results to the business manager.

    Additional Requirements

    Compile your work for both scenarios in one Microsoft Word file:

    • Paste in the tables you used.
    • Clearly title your tables, including each row and column.
    • Highlight the results of your data calculations within each table.
    • Summarize your findings for each scenario in a 3–5 sentence paragraph below each table.

Position Paper: Population Perspectives on Policy

Sometimes, during heated discussions and debates about social policy, the underlying reasons for the policy go unnoticed.

The purpose of policy is to improve the lives and well-being of individuals and groups in our society. As you assume the role of a social work policymaker, consider the importance of keeping the needs and experiences of vulnerable populations at the forefront of your mind in your advocacy efforts. This can help to assure effective policy practice.

For this Assignment, read the Position Paper Assignment Instructions document in the resources. Then, select a profile of an individual who is representative of a population that is considered an “at-risk,” marginalized, or oppressed group. Finally, consider the impact of social policy from the perspective of the individual you selected.

arguing a position, why military service should be mandatory

“Your third Essay is “Arguing” or a Position Argument which should be a carefully thought-out and researched statement of your position on a topic of your choice. This is your most important essay and is worth 250 points out of 1,000. Your Final version will be around 1,600 words with at least three (3) scholarly referenced sources. Please read the assigned pages in your book to understand the nuances of this genre. It is important to pick a topic that you care about and that is narrow enough in scope to be manageable but not so specific that it has no other references to it in scholarly literature. As I have stressed before, your opinion is welcome as you weave it into the existing academic conversation.” I have already started on the first paragraph and submitted it for my professor to approve so if you could keep that the same that would be awesome!!
