I’m stuck on a Statistics question and need an explanation.

Question

The number of hours worked per week for a sample of ten students is shown below.

1. Determine the median and explain its meaning.

2. Compute the 70th percentile and explain its meaning.

3. What is the mode of the above data? What does it signify?

Please provide original work. No plagarizing.

I’m trying to study for my Communications course and I need some help to understand this question.

You will choose a media text, determine its message and then walk through the seven steps of media literacy (reference already by one or two of you) using your chosen text. Next, think critically about the text and consider any negative (or positive) effects it may have. For example, does a particular advertisement hypersexualize men, thus creating (potentially) unrealistic image expectations for them? Finally, recreate the text (in this example, the advertisement, to make things less objectifying and hypersexual). If you feel you do not have the ability to actually recreate it, you can write up a detailed explanation as to what you would do.

Your analysis through the seven steps and discussion of media effects should be approximately four- to six-pages long.

YOU WRITE THE SPEECH AND I WILL MAKE THE VIDEO

Introduction to Public Speaking – Week 7 Assignment

Persuasive Speech

Your week 7 assignment is to build upon the momentum of last week’s informative speech. This week, you will provide a speech that has a specific persuasive appeal embedded within it. Your goal is to use principles of effective persuasive delivery to drive your audience towards action. At the conclusion of your speech, your audience should know what you’re asking them to do (e,g., adopt a new idea, cease engaging in a particular activity, continue engaging in a particular activity, avoid engaging in a certain activity, etc.).

You must select a controversial topic for this speech. Remember to use principles of deliberating in good faith! Though you may speak on any controversial you wish, you must take a clear “side” and your argument should reflect a commitment to that side. Though you are not limited to the topics found here, you might find the ProCon website to be helpful starting place.

In your speech, you must clearly demonstrate an understanding of the models, tactics, and strategies of persuasion. It is critical that you carefully review all course content (lectures, readings, etc.) before completing this task.

Your overall speech should be 4-7 minutes in length and incorporate all of the principles of effective delivery. You will be expected to cite at least 3 academic articles on your topic

Need help with my Writing question – I’m studying for my class.

PART 1:

Scholarly Writing for Healthcare Professionals – Week 3 Assignment 1

Making the Outline and the Reference Page

Once you have your reference sources, it may be tempting to leap in and start writing! However, you are nowhere near ready for that. Consider what you have learned. You can create an APA formatted paper, locate credible library offerings and websites, review APA rules, understand the levels of headings, and make a cover and reference page. You have made great progress!

Let’s begin to combine some of these elements for your Week 4 short essay paper.

Can you see the advantage of this? Again, as noted before, say time is short and you wonder how much you can get done. This outline can be created in minutes. Add that to having the searching complete in 15 minutes, and you are ready to write.

Your turn.

Produce an outline similar to the GU Sample paper (resource provided in Week 1) for your Week 4 paper. For now, make a good guess about which Level 2 headings might be good topics to subdivide.

Include the following aspects in the assignment:

Decide on a topic for your short 2-3 page essay. Choose a healthcare topic that you find interesting but are not familiar with.

Conduct a search of the library databases and internet for three scholarly references less than five years-old. If you have collected them using the Cite function per the directions, double check to be certain that they are correct per APA rules. “Data used to cite electronic sources is not yet standardized; therefore, researchers should review citations carefully. Pay special attention to personal names, capitalization, and dates. Double check your library resources for the exact formatting and punctuation guidelines” (EBSCO, n.d., para.2)

Format your APA paper and prepare your outline based on the information your search has provided.

Ensure that your paper has a minimum of two Level 2 headings.

Follow the GU sample paper as a guide but only for the required elements discussed here.

Use the information from all your resources.

Create the actual outline for your Week 4 paper with the following properly formatted: title page, content pages with headings, reference page populated with the three chosen references.

Create the in-text citations and place them under an appropriate heading on the content pages.

Do not actually write any content, just place the correct outline headings.

Follow all APA guidelines for formatting and referencing/citing

PART 2:

Scholarly Writing for Healthcare Professionals – Week 3 Assignment 2

Creating a Paragraph

You might be thinking about now; “Can I finally begin writing?” Almost. Just as all steps leading to the actual writing are carefully planned out, so must the writing itself. Remember, once you do this a few times, the process will become automatic and serve you well for years of academic study.

While the paper as a whole serves to tell a story, so does each individual paragraph. There are several useful tools to help you organize your paragraphs, but I like MEAL a lot.

The MEAL plan, a title coined by Duke University, is a way to organize your paragraphs as you write; it helps writers create strong, thorough paragraphs. The letters, M-E-A-L, form an acronym that stands for the following:

M—Main idea: This is usually expressed in a strong topic sentence.

oSee tips on using a strong topic sentence. https://www.duq.edu/assets/Documents/writing-center/_pdf/Topic%20Sentences%20March_2017.pdf

E—Evidence: Once your readers are clear what the main topic of your paragraph is, you can use source material as evidence to discuss your topic and promote your academic argument. The word evidence is another way to say source citations.

oSee tips on how to best use evidence. https://www.lib.uoguelph.ca/get-assistance/writing/writing-disciplines/using-evidence-effectively

A—Analysis: After giving the evidence, you’ll want to explain, incorporate, and integrate that evidence by providing some analysis. Analysis is where you can compare, contrast, and provide explanations for the source material, why it is important, and how it relates to your main idea.

oSee tips on how to analyze the evidence: http://www.thinksrsd.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/MEAL-Mnenomic.pdf

L—Lead out: The lead-out sentence or sentences are where you will sum up what the paragraph discussed and then preview what is coming in the next paragraph so that the reader can smoothly move from one idea to the next.

oSee tips on how to lead out – or link: http://www.thinksrsd.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/MEAL-Mnenomic.pdf

Prepare one paragraph using the M.E.A.L. process.

Include the following aspects in the assignment:

oUse your outline from the Week 3 Assignment 1.

oChoose a Level 2 heading

oResearch sufficiently to provide content for one paragraph

oFormat your paragraph right under the chosen level heading using MEAL

oHighlight in color each of the four MEAL areas.

oInclude a title page, the content page with the MEAL paragraph with in-text citation[s] and a reference page

oFollow all APA guidelines for formatting and referencing/citing

IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING WORD LIMIT REQUIREMENTS:

Please note that each and every assignment has its own word limit.

Behavior changes are actions or methods that changes an individual’s personal habits and lifestyle to prevent diseases or injuries. However, behavioral change can be difficult due to social determinants, such as socioeconomic status that inhibits people to change their lifestyles. For instance, low-income families’ unhealthy eating habits that leads to comorbidities, such as obesity and cardiovascular diseases due to lack of education on unhealthy lifestyle (Bouton, 2015, p.29-36). Another factor that can make behavior change difficult is having a negative supportive group correlating with a negative environmental factor. For example, if a recovering alcoholic is surrounded by peers that continuously drinks around them, then it will be hard for the recovering alcoholic to maintain abstinence from drinking and old habits will be triggered.

Education is a factor that challenges behavior changes. People are not educated on how to manage their lifestyle, so they continue to have an unhealthy eating lifestyle. For example, consuming excessive amount of preservative and processed foods that contains high sodium and sugar concentration levels. This unhealthy lifestyle without the appropriate dieting and physical activities is what leads to hypertension, diabetes and various cardiovascular diseases (Kelly & Barker, 2016, p.109-116).

The goal of public health is to prevent and control diseases through intervention methods using behavioral change. The role of the public health is to teach the public and the communities how to manage their lifestyle and habits, which will decrease the prevalence of the diseases. The public health can also influence behavior change through preventative care by providing educational resources on their website or at schools and medical facilities for the public on how to prevent and control diseases.

There are many factors that arises when helping people to change their behavior. A factor is resistance; the older individuals get, the more resistance they exhibit in-regards to accepting new behavioral lifestyle. There is also lack of feedback, people tend to accept things they can visualize. For example, a group of individuals known as Group A are told that to prevent the flu, they should wash their hands to get rid of the bacteria, which will reduce exposure to the virus. However, bacteria are at the microscopic levels, therefore, they are not visible to the humans’ eyes, which might create uncertainty that the bacteria do not exist or, if they are washing their hand sufficiently to prevent the illness. However, if group A is told that there is a chemical substance that changes the color of your hand when bacteria is present, then the hand washing frequency will increase and the exposure to the virus will decrease.

The different classification of behavioral change are preventative health behavior, illness behavior, and sick-role behavior. Preventative health behavior, which is the act of a healthy individual maintaining their health by practicing preventive methods. For example, these individuals exercise regularly and have a healthy diet. Illness behavior are individuals who are sick, and they research and discover appropriate remedies for their illness. For example, an individual utilizing the honey-lime/lemon home remedies to soothe their cold/flu symptoms. The Sick-role behavior is an individual who is sick and are getting medical treatment, however, this causes the person to be exempted from their responsibilities until they feel better. For example, someone who has a severe case of pneumonia would be hospitalized getting medical treament, along with being relieved of there responsibilities (Glanz et al., 2015, p.10).
