Visual Representation of Data

 

Assignment Content

  1. As an IT project manager for Intuit, Inc., you are responsible for leading IT projects that affect the entire company. You are in consideration for the project manager role for the new cloud-based applications project that your group is running. One of the tasks the c-suite would like to see prior to promoting someone to this position is your use of communicating with the c-suite through a visual presentation. They would like you to review the company’s reports and demonstrate your ability to analyze and present project data.

    To access the company’s reports, follow these steps:

    1. Navigate to Business Insights: Essentials via the University Library
    2. Search for “Intuit Inc.”
    3. Select Market Share Reports.
    4. Select two reports of your interest, and create two visuals (one for each report) that represent the information provided. For example, you could select the Tax Preparation Services Market report and use a pie chart to represent the market share.

      Write a 350-word justification summary in which you answer the following questions:

    • What type of visual did you select to present the information in each report?
    • How does the type of visual you selected to support the information?
    • What tool(s) did you use to create these visuals?
    • How will these visuals be presented to the c-suite? (Email, presentation, etc.) 
    • Why did you choose to use this type of communication to present the information to the c-suite? 
    • Note: You may use any software or websites such as Lucidchart, Canva, MindTools, etc. to create the visuals.

      Cite all sources in APA format.

      Submit both your visuals and your justification summary.

In this lab, you will use lists and list

  

In this lab, you will use lists and list operations to process election results and to declare a winner or announce a runoff. The vote information (number of votes each candidate receives in each district) must be read from a comma-delimited file named votes.csv. An example of the data and its format is given below: 31,509,156,21 75,190,417,143 402,80,265,0 298,212,130,176 234,678,97,127 102,78,62,116 The data above, shown in the bold outline below, should be placed into a two-dimensional list named votes. The list is interpreted as follows (shaded headers are not part of the data that will be read from the file, and are shown, along with the shaded italicized totals, for information only):

The program will then process the vote count, and once the data is tabulated, it should announce the election results. There are two possible outcomes:

Runoff – In the event that none of the candidates gets 51% of the vote (the example above, in file votes1.csv is such a case), a runoff between the top two vote-getting candidates is declared through the following output (note the decreasing order of vote-getters in both categories): No candidate attained 51% of the 4,599 votes cast, and a runoff will be held between: Candidate5 received 1,136 votes (24.70%) Candidate2 received 825 votes (17.94%) Other candidate vote totals: Candidate4 received 816 votes (17.54%) Candidate3 received 747 votes (16.24%) Candidate1 received 717 votes (15.59%) Candidate6 received 358 votes (7.78%)

Clear winner – If the top vote-getter wins more than 51% of the total vote, that candidate is declared the winner. Totals for other candidates are presented in decreasing order of votes received, as shown in the following output (example based on file votes2.csv): Candidate5 won the election with 2,936 votes out of 4,599 cast (63.84%) Candidate2 received 439 votes (9.55%) Candidate4 received 416 votes (9.05%) Candidate6 received 346 votes (7.52%) Candidate3 received 247 votes (5.37%) Candidate1 received 215 votes (4.67%)

Requirements: You must observe the following requirements in designing and developing your program:

You must read the file and load the votes list in the main() function.·

You must have a function get_vote_totals() that accepts the two-dimensional votes list, and returns a two-dimensional list that you will store in the variable vote_totals. This list has the candidate number at column index 0, and that candidate’s vote total at column index 1. Using the votes1.csv example data above (shaded headers are for information only and are not part of the list), the list would be:·

You will then pass the vote_totals list to the function sort_it(), provided for you below. This function will return the list sorted, in descending order, by the value at index position 1 (the total number of votes). Store the returned value in list variable sorted_votes. Using the data above, this sorted list returned is:·Write the remainder of the program so that it provides the election results output shown above.·

You may not use any global variables (global constants are permitted)·

Your program will be tested with multiple input files. It must handle both the Clear Winner and Runoff cases.·

Some of the coding systems that will be encountered are the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision, with Clinical Modification (ICD-10-CM), Current Procedural Terminology (CPT), Healthcare Procedure Coding System (HCPCS).

The ICD-10-CM is a clinical modification system that was created to code medical diagnoses in a health care treatment settingThe diagnostic codes for this coding system always have 3-7 alpha and numeric characters. The first character is always a letter, the second character is a number, and there is always a decimal point after the third character (Pepper, 2020).  

CPT codes are used to describe the services rendered to the patient during an encounter (Pepper, 2020). CPT codes consist of modifiers that customize multiple procedures a provider performed such as, the reason service was necessary, the type of visit and how long the visit lasted (Pepper, 2020). 

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services CMS and some third-party payers require providers to submit claims with HCPCS codes. This coding system is implemented for non-physician services such as riding in an ambulance, medical equipment’s such as wheelchairs, and medication drugs (Pepper, 2020). 

Business Intelligence

   

Questions for Discussion 

  1. 1. Some say that  analytics in general dehumanize managerial activities, and others say they      do not. Discuss arguments for both points of view.
  2. What are some of the major privacy concerns in employing intelligent systems on mobile data? 
  3. Identify some cases of violations of user privacy from current literature and their impact on data science as a  profession.

Exercise:

Search the Internet to find examples of how intelligent systems can facilitate activities such as empowerment, mass customization, and teamwork.
