Scenario:

An RN walks into a patient’s room and encounters the patient with his arms crossed. The patient states in a loud voice, “How come I’m not being taken care of in this hospital?” The patient points to the covered tray on the table across the room and states,” My lunch tray is sitting over there, and I can’t reach it. My call light has been on for the last 30 minutes, and nobody has responded. My wife was right when she said the care here is deplorable!“

Example

Make sure, you do have a data access from that company. Suppose you work on quality control in that company. Your job is to do monthly checks on the quality of service by collecting data on key areas.  Your company is watching sales by collecting data on location, and three variables – list price, sale price, and number of days it takes to sell each residential single-family housing unit. Each single-family housing unit is classified as “Collin” if it is located within Collin county or “Non-Collin” if it is located near (within 50 miles), but not in Collin county.
Part-A:
You are to prepare a Managerial Report answering the following (show the work for each of the following at the end of managerial report)

  1. Use appropriate descriptive statistics to summarize each of the three variables for the Collin housing units. (Covered in Chapter-2)
  2. Use appropriate descriptive statistics to summarize each of the three variables for the Non-Collin housing units. (Covered in Chapter-2)
  3. Compare your summary results. Discuss any specific statistical results that would help a real estate agent understand the DFW housing market. (Covered in Chapter-2)

Part-B :

  1. Develop a 95% confidence interval estimate of the population mean sales price and population mean number of days to sell for Collin housing units. Interpret your results.
  2. Develop a 95% confidence interval estimate of the population mean sales price and population mean number of days to sell for Non-Collin housing units. Interpret your results.

Assume the branch manager requested estimates of the mean selling price of Collin housing units with a margin of error of $40,000 and the mean selling price of Non-Collin housing units with a margin of error of $15,000. Using 95% confidence, how large should the sample sizes be?

  1. Your company just signed contracts for two new listings: a Collin housing unit with a list price of $589,000 and a Non-Collin housing unit with a list price of $285,000. What is your estimate of the final selling price and number of days required to sell each of these units?

 
Part-B
Excel Exercise

  1. Develop a 95% confidence interval estimate of the population mean sales price and population mean number of days to sell for Collin housing units using excel. Attach the excel file to your report. Also enlist the steps explaining how you used excel.
  2. Develop a 95% confidence interval estimate of the population mean sales price and population mean number of days to sell for Non-Collin housing units using excel. Attach the excel file to your report. Also enlist the steps explaining how you used excel.

week 1 discussion In this week’s media presentation, Dr. Louise Fitzpatrick shared how health and disease are global issues. She pointed out that with the mobility of today’s population, those health issues experienced in one area of the world are easily brought to other areas of the world. Consider the spread of infectious diseases such as HIV/AIDS, avian flu, H1N1, or SARS. These diseases have quickly crossed oceans and spread to a variety of countries. They are a public health concern in the U.S. as well as other countries. To prepare for this Discussion, reflect on the readings and on Dr. Mancuso’s comments in this week’s media presentation; specifically on the role of the BSN nurse in public and global health. With these thoughts in mind, respond to the following:   Why should BSN nurses be concerned with global health issues?   How do global health issues influence nursing practice at your local level or in your work setting? Include specific examples. Support your response with references from the professional nursing literature. Post your response by Day 3 of this week. Respond by Day 7 to at least two of your colleagues’ postings in one or more of the following ways: • Ask a probing question. • Expand on the colleague’s posting. • Offer polite disagreement or critique, supported with evidence. In addition to, but not in place of, the above you may: • Offer and support an opinion. • Validate an idea with your own experience. • Make a suggestion or comment which guides or facilitates the Discussion. Review and reflect on your colleagues’ replies to your initial posting. Note what you have learned and/or any insights you have gained as a result of the comments made by your colleagues. (No posting is required for this reflection.)

Epidemiology

Please access the assignment at https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/66/ss/ss6619a1.htm?s_cid=ss6619a1_w. Answer only questions being asked from 1 – 8
Please read the article carefully, including the tables and figures, which may require additional clicks to open. Answer the following questions and include your work for figuring solutions to answers.
1. Define Mortality. Give the formula for how to figure a case-fatality rate. When is this information used?
2. Where did the researchers gather their data? What populations of patients were used in this study?
3. Using table 1, were the greater number of reported drug users male or female? Why do you think this might be?
4. Using table 1, were the greater number of reported drug users located in metropolitan or non-metropolitan regions? Why do you think this might be?
5. Using table 1, what was the overall change from 2003 to 2014?
6. Look at fig. 2 and interpret the data. What does it show you, and why do you conclude this?
7. In table 3, what was the change in % death comparing 1999 to 2015 in medical facilities in metropolitan areas? Using these same dates, compare the % death in medical facilities in non-metropolitan areas. What could account for this difference between the metro vs non-metro facilities?
8. Using the stated statistic in the abstract for # of drug overdose deaths in 2015, see if you can find the population of the United States in 2015, to determine a percentage of deaths due to overdoses. Next see if you can determine or find the overall percentage of deaths due to overdose in the US in either 2016 and/or 2017?
It is recommended that you construct your response in a Word document, then copy and paste your answer.
The student’s work should be presented in an ESSAY of around 500 words.
Referencing:
The essay should include a list of references (print and electronic) at the end in addition to in-text referencing as per the requirements of the Harvard Referencing System. Proper referencing is a serious academic requirement and skill and will be rewarded accordingly.
Writing and Discussion Topic:
Cultural encounters can prove to be very enriching to all those involved, yet could prove very confusing and disrupting. In most cases these encounters lead to a conflict of values, both at the individual and societal levels. Explore how cultural encounters are manifested in literary works, specifically short stories from An Anthology of Short Stories from Five Continents, with particular reference to “The Distant Past” by William Trevor.
In the process of answering the TMA, you should make sure to include the below five sub questions:
1)  How is the concept of cultural encounter treated in the short story “The Distant Past”?
2) Is the author, William Trevor, aware of the cultural encounter theme? How does he manifest that awareness?
3) Are the main characters, mainly the Middletons, aware of the cultural encounter theme? What clues do they provide of such awareness?
4) How does the Friday visit to town highlight the theme of cultural encounter in “The Distant Past”?
5) How does the usage of “contrasts” (present versus past, now versus then) throughout the short story help in highlighting the theme of cultural encounter?
Guidance on Addressing the Topic:
Before you embark on writing the essay, you need to read carefully Book 3 Cultural Encounters in order to familiarize yourself with the topic at large and make use of the skills presented in the book when writing your essay. You are strongly advised to consult sources on the topic and widen your knowledge of the topic under consideration, but it is of the utmost importance to document any words or ideas that are not your own. Once you have the material ready, it is advisable that you follow the steps (1-5) indicated in the section above to avoid omitting sub-questions. Although the topic is most relevant to Unit 3, you should demonstrate your knowledge of the complexity of the concept of cultural encounters as presented in the all the units to draw lessons and examples from them if need be, and not model your treatment solely after a particular treatment appearing in a single unit.
