In this weeks Discussion, you determined the benefits of visually displaying your data. You also learned that different types of data require different visual displays to adequately tell the story of the phenomena. Although the Discussion was difficult, what is even more difficult and challenging will be deciding on how best to display the data for presentation purposes. As you move further along in your dissertation or doctoral study, you will find that displaying data will be critical component in presenting a robust and clear capstone project.
For this Introduction to Quantitative Analysis Assignment, you will explore how to visually display data for optimal use.
To prepare for this Assignment:
Review this weeks Learning Resources and consider visual displays of data.
For additional support, review the Skill Builder: Unit of Analysis and the Skill Builder: Levels of Measurement, which you can find by navigating back to your Blackboard Course Home Page. From there, locate the Skill Builder link in the left navigation pane.
Using the SPSS software, open the Afrobarometer dataset or the High School Longitudinal Study dataset (whichever you choose) found in this weeks Learning Resources.
From the dataset you chose, choose one categorical and one continuous variable and perform the appropriate visual display for each variable.
Once you visually display each variable, review Chapter 11 of the Wagner text to understand how to copy and paste your output into your Word document.
For this Assignment:
Write a 2- to 3-paragraph analysis of your results and include a copy and paste of the appropriate visual display of the data into your document.
Based on the results of your data, provide a brief explanation of what the implications for social change might be. Early in your Assignment, when you relate which dataset you analyzed, please include the mean of the following variables. If you are using the Afrobarometer Dataset, report the mean of Q1 (Age). If you are using the HS Long Survey Dataset, report the mean of X1SES.
Use appropriate APA format. Refer to the APA manual for appropriate citation.

Displaying Data
Wagner (2020) notes histograms are suitable matches for displaying single scale variables’ distribution. A multivariate histogram is a stacked bar histogram showing the distribution of one variable by the categories of another variable (Wagner, 2020). In sharing the dataset codebook, NORC notes (2019) the data make up a social indicator research program. Figure 1 below displays the number of hours per week spent using the web by race. Figure 2 displays the age of respondent statistics.

Below are the instructions and i will attach an example.
1) find TWO scale measures of the SAME (or similar) construct that measures the main issue you identified for your client in Assignment #1 (i.e. if my main issue is depression, then I would use the Center for Epidemiological Depression Scale AND the Beck Depression Inventory because BOTH scales measure the SAME thing – depression). Remember, a SCALE is a measure with multiple items that are used to create an overall “score” that measures the degree, amount, severity or duration of an issue of concern.
2) Type the scale items directly into your discussion board response as well as instructions on how they are scored. Also type in information on reliability and validity.
3) After typing that information in, upload the document where you found the scale items and upload the research articles where you found their reliability/validity. ***NOTE – often, but not always, the scales AND the reliability/validity will be in the same article, as is the case for this week’s additional reading under Module 5. However, sometimes the actual items/questions in the scale are not included in the article about testing for reliability/validity, and you may need to search online for the scales items/questions***
4) Finally, in addition to having typed in TWO standardized scales of an issue, create a single item (i.e. a single question) Individualized Rating Scale (IRS) that you could give to all of the program clients. This is similar to a standardized scale, except it’s just ONE broader question that you make up (see page 198 and 199 of your book for a refresher

Globalization and financialization are considered to be two important
aspects of the business environment today. Contrast the mainstream economics
interpretation of globalization and financialization with the political economy
critique of globalization and financialization. Is one interpretation more
helpful than the other? Why?

Part B Assignment: Maternal Mortality
Research the incidence and prevalence of maternal mortality among the US population in general, other “developed” countries, and specifically in the US, among African American and Hispanic women.
Use statistics to bolster your research.
Discuss the etiology of this healthcare crisis and suggest policy remedies.

The company: Infigenergy: https://www.infigenenergy.com/

The report should begin with a short executive summary and conclude with several, short general
recommendations. The content you include in the report should link the project management principles
detailed below with the practices of the renewable energy company you have been allocated.

The topics on which students need to make recommendations in their report include:
i) Project selection How should the company you select determine what projects to undertake and
what ones to avoid? What tools, measures, and practices are available to project analysts in this
industry?
ii) Cost management What is the role of project cost management for your chosen company? Why is it
important? What strategies or approaches should the company you have chosen adopt in order to
effectively manage project costs?
iii) Financing What financing measures or options are generally available to assist companies like the
one you have chosen to fund proposed new projects? The report should include reference to any
implications associated with different funding types or models.
iv) Implementation and winding up Are there any particular issues associated with commencing a
project that your company must consider? Why are they important? Who do they impact or affect?
What happens when the project finishes? How are projects wound up? Do they just end or are there
resource or infrastructure considerations? Are there environmental issues associated with the end of
a project?

Where possible, students should relate each section back to the renewable energy company they have been
allocated. The executive summary should bring together general recommendations for the students chosen
company relating to i)-iv)

Students should provide between 200-400 words per topic, together with approximately 200 words in total for
the executive summary and final recommendations.

the report should contain ( introduction, objective, problem statement, literature review, methodology, findings and conclusion )
please do the report depending on these points and follow the grading rubric and instruction needed for doing this report.
0% plagiarism.
