discussion 2 critical thinking challenges

Data is collected, used, and presented in various ways in order to describe situations or events. When reviewing statistics, one must often filter through the presentation in order to get to the true story of what the data means.

To prepare for this Discussion, explore the unique Cancer.org calculator in this week’s Learning Resources to see an example of a filter that uses statistical data presented in a way to which most people can immediately relate.

Post a short, 200- to 250-word report that analyzes the cost of cigarettes in your area. Research the average cost of a pack of cigarettes in your area. Then, using the Cancer.org calculator, determine the cost per day for 1 year of smoking. Be sure to mention the brand of cigarettes that you used for your calculation.

discussion 912

Globally disbursed organizations have a wealth of resources that are available to them, especially when it comes to implementing its business continuity plan to continue operations. Apart from the unlimited availability of funds, many of these organizations have brand recognition and can resume its services based on its name alone, if it needs to relocate. Small businesses do not have the same financial, technology, personnel resources availability. Furthermore, they are deficient in brand recognition outside of its immediate demographic location. So when disasters occur, it often cripples a small businesses ability to continue its operations, and a number of these smaller operations closes its doors.

Because small businesses do not have the financial resources, it is possible for them to develop a business continuity plan? Being mindful of its financial limitations, what are five components that a small business should focus on in its business continuity plan? Explain why these components are essential. If a business continuity plan is not financially achievable for a small business explains why it is not economically feasible. What options will they have? Think about Federal or state government assistance and support. Is the government obligated to help smaller businesses restore its operations? If yes, explain. If not, explain. Is the government obligated to offer small companies assistance on a personal level, business level, or both? Explain your answer. What government resources can assist small businesses after a disaster strikes? Are small businesses guaranteed to secure these resources?

analyzing data and writing your report 1

I attached the previous paper you wrote for the last part of this course project.

In this portion of the course project, you will analyze your data in the following ways:

  1. Effectively record data, back-up the data and store a master copy – keeping original data intact.
  2. Sum the number of ratings, rankings, yes or no, etc. for each question.
  3. Find the mean, or average, for each question.
  4. Find the standard deviation and the z-score for each question.
  5. Infer results or draw conclusions.

Note: You do not need to submit your analysis separately, instead, you will include your analysis in your written report (the tenth element of the written report). Remember that your analysis can (and likely should!) include important visual aids for your readers, including charts, graphics, and tables.

Based upon your analysis, develop recommendations, think about limitations of the research, and write your final report. The report should include the following elements:

  1. Cover page
  2. Executive summary
  3. Table of contents
  4. Introduction
  5. Problem statement
  6. Research objectives
  7. Background research/literature review
  8. Sampling design
  9. Research design
  10. Data analysis (may include visual aids – bars, charts, graphs, etc).
  11. Limitations
  12. Findings
  13. Conclusions
  14. Recommendations
  15. References

Be sure to distinguish between the various sections of the report by utilizing headings. Each of the 15 elements will be a major heading, which should be bolded and centered. If minor headings are used, they should be bolded and aligned left. The cover page, executive summary, table of contents, and reference page should all be on stand-alone pages.

Keep in mind, a number of these elements were previously submitted. Be sure to review the feedback you received from your instructor and make recommended edits or updates. Also, consider restructuring the written elements as needed in order to include them in the final report (for example your problem statement may have stated what you will research, and now it is something you have researched, so your tense may change).

The report should be written according in APA style. Learn more about APA formatting here.

There is no length requirement, but most reports will be approximately 8 pages; your report may be longer depending on the demands of research and analysis conducted. The cover page, table of contents, and references page are should not be included in the page count. The executive summary may be included in the page count.

examples of chemistry in life

Chem 108 Writing assignment # 1 Name_____________________________________

20 points

Instructions: Write 2 separate paragraphs (at least 5 sentences each) on 2 different examples of

chemistry in everyday life. (If you google “chemistry in everyday life” you will get lots of ideas

to choose from or come up with your own). Describe the role of chemistry in everyday life in

your own words, do not just copy it from the web (It will go through turnitin.com so do not

copy/paste). Include your thoughts, experiences, opinions on the subject and anything you would

like to add. You will be graded partly on spelling/grammar, so I would recommend having a

fellow student or friend look it over before submitting it. (10points each)

Example: I have a saltwater aquarium and it requires a significant amount of work to keep the

salt content, nutrients and dangerous molecules in the right balance. If the salt content is too

high or too low, it will cause the fish to suffer. These hypertonic and hypotonic solutions will

result in the fish’s cells shrinking or swelling causing death. Other nutrients are important for

fish and reef survival such as certain metal ions like calcium. Fish waste products include

ammonia, nitrate and phosphate. These polyatomic ions are not dangerous in low concentrations

however at high concentrations they will interfere with fish survival. To ensure proper survival

of all the organisms in the tank, frequent water changes are performed to dilute out some of the

harmful molecules. Unfortunately, the good molecules get diluted out as well, so the keeper must

be certain to supplement the tank to the appropriate levels. This example of chemistry in

everyday life is easily performed by anyone willing to put in the effort to learn the hobby and

does not require a chemist for an ultimate tank experience.
