Analyzing-And-Visualzing-Data.

Initial Post

Kirk (2016) tells us that all requirements and restrictions of a project must be identified.  Select 1 key factor below and discuss why Kirk (2016) states it will impact your critical thinking and shape your ambitions:

  • People: stakeholders, audience.
  • Constraints: pressures, rules.
  • Consumption: frequency, setting.
  • Deliverables: quantity, format.
  • Resources: skills, technology

I chose “Resources: skills, technology” to discuss why Kirk states it will impact my critical thinking and shape my ambition.
Skills, you must take inventory of the available capabilities on the team. You may take inventory of yourself, on the personal capabilities that you possess. Not only offer what skills you have and what skills you don’t, but also which of these skills are you good at. What skills go you have available as a team and what weaknesses exist. Working as a team some skills can be compensated for or enhanced. By recognizing the available talent in the group, you should choose and place wisely to optimize available resources. The availability and optimal utilization (critical thinking) of skills can shape ambition.

Technology tools are plentiful for data visualization and becoming more and more holistic. Meaning there are some packages that will do almost everything, as a complete suite. In previous times, varying tools were used to accomplish different tasks. Different tasks entailed the many stages of prepping the data, developing the data, and visually presenting the data. Now technological tools accomplish almost every task. However, cleaning the data is sometimes a manual task and may require writing custom code in languages such Python and R. (The R Project for Statistical Computing, 2018)

Skills must be learned, enhanced, and adapted to ever changing technology. Skills must have the underlying principles that are developed as critical thinking when stepping though a process and knowing the correct and efficient direction. Having clear knowledge of data analysis principles allows ambition to grow, knowing you can accomplish the task. Possessing the skills (principle fundamentals and critical thinking), and technology allow you to “embrace the constraints” and “heighten your creative senses and lead to successful, innovative solutions”. (Kirk, 2016)

second student post

 

  • People: Stakeholders, audience  One of the most important parts of your stakeholder mapping is to identify the impact a stakeholder can have on the success of your project. Keep it simple. High or low is often enough. The impact that a stakeholder can have is a combination of two things; Their formal authority and also their ability to influence others. At the top of the tree of influence are Apex Stakeholders. They can influence other stakeholders without being easily influenced themselves. Make it your priority to find these people and bring them over to your point of view. Once you do, you will be able to use their influence as a lever to amplify your own.  Stakeholders are a major part of the project. Everything in a project should go the way they want and if not, it would be difficult for the people who worked on the project. These stakeholders can be really helpful in helping secure your future. The ideas and the works that have been found under the supervision of the stakeholders, benefits people and help them in a lot of ways.  Theories, concepts and models of audiences, stakeholders or publics, public relations and communication are important because they help us understand and explain our public relations campaigns and the situations these campaigns address. They determine how we plan and conduct public relations. Thus the different theories we hold will lead to different ways of planning and practicing public relations.

Assignment-ACCESS DataBase

I already have the solution Manual to this attached (I need this translated in Access Database with different screenshots. Final Solution should include an Access DB file and all quetions answered in Word (in own words)with screenshots)

San Juan Sailboat Charters (SJSBC) is an agency that leases (charters) sailboats. SJSBC does not own the boats. Instead, SJSBC leases boats on behalf of boat owners who want to earn income from their boats when they are not using the boats themselves, and SJSBC charges the owners a fee for this service. SJSBC specializes in boats that
can be used for multiday or weekly charters. The smallest sailboat available is 28 feet in length, and the largest is 51 feet in length.

Each sailboat is fully equipped at the time it is leased. Most of the equipment is provided at the time of the charter. The majority of the equipment is provided by the owners, but some is provided by SJSBC. Some of the owner-provided equipment is attached to the boat, such as radios, compasses, depth indicators and other instrumentation, stoves, and refrigerators. Other owner-provided equipment is not physically attached to the boat, such as sails, lines, anchors, dinghies, life preservers, and equipment in the cabin (dishes, silverware, cooking utensils, bedding, and so on). SJSBC provides consumable supplies such as charts, navigation books, tide and current tables, soap, dish towels, toilet paper, and similar items. The consumable supplies are treated as equipment by SJSBC for tracking and accounting purposes. Keeping track of equipment is an important part of SJSBC’s responsibilities. Much of the
equipment is expensive, and those items not physically attached to the boat can be easily damaged, lost or stolen. SJSBC holds the customers responsible for all of the boat’s equipment during the period of their charter.
SJSBC likes to keep accurate records of its customers and charters, and customers are required to keep a log during each charter. Some itineraries and weather conditions are more dangerous than others, and the data from these logs provides information about the customer experience. This information is useful for marketing purposes, as well as
for evaluating a customer’s ability to handle a particular boat and itinerary. Sailboats need maintenance (two definitions of boat are: (1) “break out another thousand” and (2) “a hole in the water into which one pours money”). SJSBC is required by its contracts with the boat owners to keep accurate records of all maintenance activities and costs.

A. Create a sample list of owners and boats. Your list will be similar in structure to that in Figure 1-30, but it will concern owners and boats rather than owners and pets. Your list should include, at the minimum, owner name, phone, and billing address, as well as boat name, make, model, and length.

B. Describe modification problems that are likely to occur if SJSBC attempts to maintain the list in a spreadsheet.

C. Split the list into tables such that each has only one theme. Create appropriate ID columns. Use a linking column to represent the relationship between a boat and an owner. Demonstrate that the modification problems you identified in part B have been eliminated.

D. Create a sample list of owners, boats, and charters. Your list will be similar to that in Figure 1-31. Your list should include the data items from part A as well as the charter date, charter customer and the amount charged for each charter.

E. Illustrate modification problems that are likely to occur if SJSBC attempts to maintain the list from part D in a spreadsheet.

F. Split the list from part D into tables such that each has only one theme. Create appropriate ID columns. Use linking columns to represent relationships. Demonstrate that the modification problems you identified in part E have been eliminated.

  • Choose a start date and end date for your trip. Make sure that your vacation range is approximately 3-15 days total.
  • Use SQLAlchemy create_engine to connect to your sqlite database.
  • Use SQLAlchemy automap_base() to reflect your tables into classes and save a reference to those classes called Station and Measurement.

Precipitation Analysis

  • Design a query to retrieve the last 12 months of precipitation data.
  • Select only the date and prcp values.
  • Load the query results into a Pandas DataFrame and set the index to the date column.
  • Sort the DataFrame values by date.
  • Plot the results using the DataFrame plot method.
  • Use Pandas to print the summary statistics for the precipitation data.

Station Analysis

  • Design a query to calculate the total number of stations.
  • Design a query to find the most active stations.
    • List the stations and observation counts in descending order.
    • Which station has the highest number of observations?
    • Hint: You will need to use a function such as func.minfunc.maxfunc.avg, and func.count in your queries.
  • Design a query to retrieve the last 12 months of temperature observation data (TOBS).
    • Filter by the station with the highest number of observations.
    • Plot the results as a histogram with bins=12.

[IFT 201] Computer and Network Systems: Organization and Administration

Lab 3: Character Encoding

Score: 60pts

Introduction

As discussed, every kinds of data in a computer must be represented by a sequence of 1s and 0s (binary system). The manner in which these electronic data are converted to a form meaningful to humans depend on the coding system used by the computer.

So the myriad data forms have to be represented using only 1s and 0s; including text, numbers, sounds, colors, still pictures, moving pictures, etc.

· How are characters represented?

A character “mapping” assigns a number to each character, and then this assigned number is encoded in binary. For example, a very simple mapping scheme might assign 1 to A, 2 to B, etc. A computer would then store B as 10, the binary representation of 2.

· Which mapping to use?

It took a long time for the computer industry to stop using many different mappings:

· IBM mainframes used EBCDIC,

· Control Data Corporation (CDC) supercomputers used their own system

· Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) and other smaller companies used ASCII.

The breakthrough coincided with the introduction of PC in 1981, which used ASCII even though it was an IBM.

ASCII has grown ever since to become practically one of the only two character mappings used today (the other being Unicode).

Background

Read the ASCII character set and text representation from any of the following sources:

· Hand-outs, section 2.6

· Online resources

Download and extract the provided programs:

· ASCII Converter v3.1: ASCIIv3_1.zip

· Text to Binary converter: btt_0.3.zip

· If you don’t have a Windows system, you’ll need to use virtual box with a Windows VM

The ASCII converter can convert plain text to hex and back using the standard ASCII character set. For example, type E0 in the “Hexadecimal” area and click on “Convert”, you’ll see à in the “Plain Text” area.

The Text to Binary converter program makes it easy to type in some text and have the computer translate all of it to binary using the ASCII character mapping. The (binary) output is a string of binary numbers separated by spaces, each representing an ASCII value. The screenshot below provides an example.

Note that inside the computer’s memory, there are no spaces between the seven-bit chunks that represent each character.

Most computers today store one ASCII character in a byte, which is 8 bits, not 7. The ASCII character set was extended to include 128 extra characters, many of them for PC graphics.

Activities

For these activities, you can use any or a combination of the two programs.

1. Convert decimal 100 to hex: ________________

Type the hex representation into the bottom area of the ASCII Converter program

Write down what you see: ______________

2. Do the same for 68

68 = ________ hex

ASCII __________

3. What relation do the above two numbers have?

4. Do as in 1) for

a) 101 and 69

b) 102 and 70

Write down the codes and the characters you see

5. What conclusion can you draw about how upper- and lowercase characters in ASCII are represented, based on your experiments?

6. If you were writing a function to capitalize text for a word-processing program, what simple transformation would you make to the character codes to capitalize a letter?

7. What does ASCII code 241 look like? What language uses this character?

Provide a screenshot

8. We’ll now see how the computer stores your ASU username.

Write down its binary conversion. Also provide a screenshot

Provide its decimal representation.

9. Provide the decimal representation for each of the following characters: ç, é, $, £

Be sure to provide the screenshot of your initial step
