Milestone 9 Q&A

Help me study for my Business class. I’m stuck and don’t understand.

My company is Nordstrom the expansion is towards Europe (focused on Italy)

In Module Nine, you will write Section I (Executive Summary) and Section VII (Questions and Answers) of your final project and submit your final external capital funding proposal. It should be a complete, polished artifact containing all of the critical elements of the final project. It should reflect the incorporation of feedback gained throughout the course.

  1. Executive Summary: Briefly summarize the key points of your proposal, giving the loan committee the most essential information while convincing themto read further. Remember this is the first, and sometimes the only, section a selection committee will read in an initial screening.
  2. Questions and Answers: End your proposal by constructing a persuasive, evidence-based question-and-answer section that addresses additional financial questions you think the loan committee might ask, including legal and ethical concerns and why the loan would be attractive to the bank.

rewrite paragraph

I’m studying for my Statistics class and need an explanation.

Rewrite paragraph

Anderson & Bushman (2001) state a correlation of r= .19 for aggressive behaviors correlating to video game playing. This was for 13 non-experimental trials of this comprehensive study. To add weight and validation to their correlation value, Anderson et al., (2001) added in an experimental study that produced a result of “r = .18, 95% confidence interval (.13, .24)” for 21 experimental tests.

Because of the closeness in r values, there is the illusion the experimental section justifies the non-experimental trials, so the researchers could say: “proportion of variance in Y that can be predicted from X.” (Warner 2013) However, this is not the case. A value of r= .10 is considered small for effect size in the study. A medium r value is .3. With both the experimental and non-experimental results closer to the smaller effect size, this signifies both portions of the study, despite the high CI for results, there is a correlation, but it is weak.

Further subdivision into three subgroups for the non-experimental trials generated higher r values for time spent taking part in video games in general, time spent enjoying violent video games, and for a choice of video =d experimental groups being closely related. Their close correlation confirms overall the playing video games brings about aggressive behaviors, is weak as you cannot tell which if the three sub-groups they were testing for actually produced the aggression.

Week 5 Discussion

Can you help me understand this Writing question?

Discussion: Statistical Significance and Meaningfulness

Once you start to understand how exciting the world of statistics can be, it is tempting to fall into the trap of chasing statistical significance. That is, you may be tempted always to look for relationships that are statistically significant and believe they are valuable solely because of their significance. Although statistical hypothesis testing does help you evaluate claims, it is important to understand the limitations of statistical significance and to interpret the results within the context of the research and its pragmatic, “real world” application.

As a scholar-practitioner, it is important for you to understand that just because a hypothesis test indicates a relationship exists between an intervention and an outcome, there is a difference between groups, or there is a correlation between two constructs, it does not always provide a default measure for its importance. Although relationships are significant, they can be very minute relationships, very small differences, or very weak correlations. In the end, we need to ask whether the relationships or differences observed are large enough that we should make some practical change in policy or practice.

For this Discussion, you will explore statistical significance and meaningfulness.

To prepare for this Discussion:

  • Review the Learning Resources related to hypothesis testing, meaningfulness, and statistical significance.
  • Review Magnusson’s web blog found in the Learning Resources to further your visualization and understanding of statistical power and significance testing.
  • Review the American Statistical Association’s press release and consider the misconceptions and misuse of p-values.
  • Consider the scenario:
    • A research paper claims a meaningful contribution to the literature based on finding statistically significant relationships between predictor and response variables. In the footnotes, you see the following statement, “given this research was exploratory in nature, traditional levels of significance to reject the null hypotheses were relaxed to the .10 level.”

BY DAY 3

Post your response to the scenario in which you critically evaluate this footnote. As a reader/reviewer, what response would you provide to the authors about this footnote?

Walden-nurs 6051- Assignment-week 5

I’m trying to learn for my Nursing class and I’m stuck. Can you help?

Assignment: The Impact of Standardized Nursing Terminology

Among the Resources in this module is the Rutherford (2008) article Standardized Nursing Language: What Does It Mean for Nursing Practice? In this article, the author recounts a visit to a local hospital to view the recent implementation of a new coding system.

During the visit, one of the nurses commented to her, “We document our care using standardized nursing languages but we don’t fully understand why we do” (Rutherford, 2008, para. 1).

How would you respond to a comment such as this one?

To Prepare:

  • Review the concepts of informatics as presented in the Resources, particularly Rutherford, M. (2008) Standardized Nursing Language: What Does It Mean for Nursing Practice?
  • Reflect on the role of a nurse leader as a knowledge worker.
  • Consider how knowledge may be informed by data that is collected/accessed.

The Assignment:

In a 2- to 3-page paper, address the following:

  • Explain how you would inform this nurse (and others) of the importance of standardized nursing terminologies.
  • Describe the benefits and challenges of implementing standardized nursing terminologies in nursing practice. Be specific and provide examples.
  • Be sure to support your paper with peer-reviewed research on standardized nursing terminologies that you consulted from the Walden Library.

This i9s for a rough draft for a research paper for ECON 211

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

Hi,

The outline is already completed for this paper. The title of this paper is The Impact of Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017

After you have written your outline, you will initiate work on the first draft of your paper. While the draft is not expected to include all of the points that you will have in your final paper, it must provide enough detail so that the general scope and depth of the final paper is clear. Your final paper must be at least 1,800 words and include six or more credible sources. Two of your sources must be from academic journals.

Your first draft must include the following four sections:

  • An introduction that introduces the selected topic and discusses how the analysis was conducted.
  • A literature review that provides a detailed summary of the economic circumstances and facts that serve as the foundation of the economic analysis.
  • A narrative body that includes:
    • An economic analysis that uses the tools developed in the course along with your graphical depiction of the economics applied to your topic. Provide an explanation of the graphical analysis. Don’t leave it to the reader to figure out your intention. The specific analysis will depend on your chosen topic.
    • Statistics that support your topic and narrative.
  • Conclusion and a brief summary.

Use current APA formatting for your paper including these elements:

  • Title page
  • Running head
  • Page numbers
  • Headings
  • Source citations
  • Reference list

An abstract and table of contents are not required.

Remember to use the Eaglet and APA resources provided on the Academic Resources page.

Note: Your paper will automatically be evaluated through Turnitin. Turnitin is a service that checks your work for improper citation or potential plagiarism by comparing it against a database of web pages, student papers, and articles from academic books and publications. Ensure that your work is entirely your own and that you have not plagiarized any material! Your draft paper will not be stored in the Turnitin repository.

You will submit your first draft in Module 6. Review the assignment rubric for detailed grading criteria.
