Create a new tab called “working data” and place the Master tab information here.

You have been given data on
height and weight of NBA basketball players: NBA_Weight_Data_Student.xlsx

Save the file as “Last_First_ExcelStatistics.xlsx”.
This should prevent
you from deleting or altering the core master data tab.

Your job is to complete an analysis similar to the ones
seen in lecture by answering the below 10 questions. The data is not in
analyzable format yet as you need to create dummy variables in order to
complete a regression using categorical variables..

You will export your results of the various tests/analyses
to a word document and submit the word document for grading. You will do this
by copying and pasting the statistical result output and pasting it as an image
into a word document. Please make sure you paste the image such that all of the
results are visible. You may need to resize the image or copy a portion of the
excel workbook for this to work properly. You will also need to have your excel
sheet available if the instructor requests it. Please place each numbered item
in its own worksheet.

As part of your deliverable you must submit answers to the
following:
1. Are there duplicates in this dataset? Why or why not?
Discuss the data you are given.
2. Run descriptive statistics for height and weight for the
entire data set.
3. Create a histogram for each, height and weight, to check
for normality. (Remove the legend and give your histogram a title for the
variable it is charting) Are the heights and weights normally distributed? What
could we do to this data to try and make it more normal if it isn’t already?
4. Apply a z-score correctly and find the x value needed to
be in the 90th percentile of the distribution for height. Type out your answer
in Word’s equation editor with the equation you used and describe what a
z-score is telling us generally in statistics and specifically as it applies to
this data.
5. Using a z-score correctly, In what percentile is a
player who is 75.086 inches tall. Type
out this equation in equation editor as well.
6. Run a regression to predict weight by height. Describe
in detail what the regression report tells us. There should be a discussion of
r^2, the coefficients and the significance of each predictor.
7. Run a regression to predict weight by height and
position. Describe in detail what the regression report tells us. There should
be a discussion of r^2, the coefficients and the significance of each
predictor. Is this a better model that 6)? What could be done to improve this
model further?
8. Run an ANOVA to see if there are differences between
weights of players at different positions. Report your findings and describe
ways to proceed in further analysis.
9. Conduct a T test to see if there is a difference in
height between G-F and F-C.
10. Finally, do players, grouping in five-year buckets for
their draft year, appear to weigh more and are they taller using a box and
whisker plot? What if anything does this say about athletes over time?

What does the case law reveal that an average citizen can use in terms of self-defense and deadly force?

Your paper will automatically go through Turnitin. You may write your paper on one of the following three topics:
1. An in-depth analysis of United States v. Jones, 565 U.S. ___ (2012) and the Fourth Amendment case law leading up to Jones. Specifically what cases did Jones overturn, either entirely or in part. How does Jones impact, affect the applicability of the Fourth Amendment?
2. Research the case law and statutory law behind self-defense and the use of deadly force. What does the case law reveal that an average citizen can use in terms of self-defense and deadly force? How is that different than a law enforcement officer? Provide a detailed analysis of the case law where the court’s have grappled with these issues. Focus primarily on the Supreme Court cases on this issue.
3. Research, summarize and analyze the most recent US Supreme Court Opinions that address criminal law matters. Some hot topics for 2018 included ineffective assistance counsel and probable cause and Fourth Amendment challenges. Of these cases decided by the Supreme Court most recently, what cases will be overturned? How has the case law lead up to this point and how might it be affected in the future. What are the practical implications of these recent Supreme Court decisions.
Your paper will automatically be processed through Turnitin. Your paper should be 8-10 pages. Here are some general guidelines. Please use 12 font and one inch margins. Please include page numbers. Please double space. I recommend using topic and sub topic headings to organize your paper.
Please include a reference page at the end of your paper where you list all the references used in your paper.
What I’m really looking for in the paper is graduate level cohesive writing where you research and analyze primary legal sources, such as case law, statutes and the US Constitution.
Please use the Bluebook or APA citation format for your references, depending on whether you are a Legal Studies student or not.
1. Write an introduction, which clearly identifies the topic of your report and the issues which you seek to illuminate. The introduction should include the thesis statement (or basis of your report), and a very preliminary overview of the evidence you will use to support it. Finally, the introduction should include a statement that identifies what your paper contributes to our understanding of the law of Homeland Security (in other words, why is the topic of your report important?).

2. The body of your report should be dedicated to support your thesis statement with claims gleaned from your research (into what others have written on the topic; data that you have gathered), readings from the course text, discussions, and/or case law, law review articles.

3. Conclude your report by recapitulating your thesis statement and explaining in greater detail the significance of your findings. If you would like, include in your conclusion some questions or claims about the topic and/or specific which you’ve written. If you believe more research needs to be done on your topic, be specific about what kind of research and how you think it ought to be done.

Describe the Classical symphonies and how they have evolved from the Baroque Orchestral music.

Now that you have gained more information about Classical music, I want you to answer the following question. Although elements of earlier and later styles are apparent in the arts of the Rococo, the styles seem to represent primarily a reaction against the past in the visual arts and an intimation of the future in music. Can you suggest some reasons for this difference? In the initial post, explain your answer.
Your post should be at least 100 words. You may also use your textbook as a source.

Summary:
Name at least 5 Classical composers and list what characteristics they added to the Classical music period and include a list of 4 compositions for each composer.
Describe the historical perspective, and general characteristics of Classical music in your own words.
Describe the Classical symphonies and how they have evolved from the Baroque Orchestral music.

Write a paper Combining internet research and critical thinking to reveal milestones and identify concerns for the aging brain, you will write an essay to demonstrate your understanding of this essential life organ.

Write a paper Combining internet research and critical thinking to reveal milestones and identify concerns for the aging brain, you will write an essay to demonstrate your understanding of this essential life organ. Select any two ages you would like to learn more about for this assignment, then:
Compare and contrast the brain for two different ages; for example, at two years of age and at nine years of age
Be sure to also summarize abilities and/or possible effects of age for each of the age groups you are comparing.
Step 1: Research.
Conduct research to identify what brain functioning looks like for the ages you’ve selected. It is recommended that you conduct research through our Online Library or use a scholarly internet search. Wikipedia is not allowed and you will need to include at least two different sources; do not rely on the same website for all your information.
