What do I Know About Where I Live?

 For this discussion, you are to use the following website: https://www.census.gov/acs/www/data/data-tables-and-tools/data-profiles/2017/ (Links to an external site.)

  • On the landing page, type in the name of your state, and then the name of your city or place.
  • Click on “Get Data Profile”.
  • On the new page, you will see links to 4 sets of information on your area:  
    • Social
    • Education
    • Housing
    • Demographic
  • Choose any two variables you think might be related and find them by  using the links to the related set.  In the tables, locate the  variables you chose to work with. For example, you could use the number  of rooms (in a house) under Housing and household incomes and benefits  under Economy.
  • Find the values for each of your two variables for several years.  For example, you might use the number of rooms and household income for  the years 2012- 2017.
  • Use Excel to make a scatterplot and to find the correlation  coefficient. You should then have 6 points on the scatterplot, one for  each year.

Share your scatterplot and correlation coefficient in your post and use them to address the following in your discussion post:

  • Why did you think a relationship exists between the two variables you chose? 
  • Based on the Excel scatterplot and output 
    • State what type of relationship exists:  Negative, positive, or none. 
    • Describe the relationship in words including what happens to one as  the other changes. For example, as the number of rooms in a house  increases, does the family income increase as well?
  • Does the statistical information you obtained support or refute your alternative hypothesis that a relationship exists? 
    • How?
    • If you did not find a relationship, why do you think that is?
  • What is the value to knowing there is a correlation between the  variables? For example, what businesses might flourish in a wealthy  area?   
  • Would another variable better explain the relationship?  
  • How might the city use such information to make improvements?  For  example, if you found a relationship between crime and poverty would it  make sense to make addressing poverty a priority?
  • Can you conclude that one variable is causing the other? Why or why not?

QUANTITATIVE Journal Article Review

You will review both quantitative and qualitative research.  The topic is up to you as long as you choose a peer-reviewed, academic research piece.  I suggest choosing a topic that is at least in the same family as your expected dissertation topic so that you can start viewing what is out there.  There are no hard word counts or page requirements as long as you cover the basic guidelines.  You must submit original work, however,  and a paper that returns as a large percentage of copy/paste to other sources will not be accepted.  (Safe Assign will be used to track/monitor your submission for plagiarism. Submissions with a Safe Assign match of more than 25% will not be accepted.) 

Please use APA formatting and include the following information:

  • Introduction/Background:  Provide context for the research article.  What led the author(s) to write the piece? What key concepts were explored? Were there weaknesses in prior research that led the author to the current hypothesis or research question?
  • Methodology:  Describe how the data was gathered and analyzed.  What research questions or hypotheses were the researcher trying to explore? What statistical analysis was used?
  • Study Findings and Results:  What were the major findings from the study? Were there any limitations?
  • Conclusions:  Evaluate the article in terms of significance, research methods, readability and the implications of the results.  Does the piece lead into further study? Are there different methods you would have chosen based on what you read? What are the strengths and weaknesses of the article in terms of statistical analysis and application? (This is where a large part of the rubric is covered.)

Linux Implementation Proposal: Client Response Memo

 

Faster Computing was impressed with your presentation. The company is  interested in moving forward with the project, but the senior  management team has responded to the presentation with the following  questions and concerns:

  • How will security be implemented in the Linux systems—both workstations and servers?
     
  • End users have expressed some concern about completing their  day-to-day tasks on Linux. How would activities such as web browsing  work? How would they work with their previous Microsoft Office files?
     
  • The current Windows administrators are unsure about administering  Linux systems. How are common tasks, such as process monitoring and  management, handled in Linux? How does logging work? Do we have event  logs like we do in Windows?
     
  • Some folks in IT raised questions about the Linux flavor that was  recommended. They would like to see comparisons between your  recommendation and a couple of other popular options. What makes your  recommendation the best option?
     
  • How does software installation work on Linux? Can we use existing Windows software?
     
  • How can Linux work together with the systems that will continue to  run Windows? How will we share files between the different system types?
     

The deliverable for this phase of the project is a memo. There is no  minimum or maximum page requirement, but all of the questions must be  fully answered with sufficient detail. The recommended format is to  respond to the questions in a bulleted format. Provide sufficient detail  to fully address the questions. You must cite at least two quality  sources.
