Part B: Hypothesis Testing and Confidence Intervals

Complete the following four hypotheses, using α = 0.05 for each. The week 5 spreadsheet can be used in these analyses.
1. Mean sales per week exceed 42.5 per salesperson
2. Proportion receiving online training is less than 55%
3 Mean calls made among those with no training is at least 145
4. Mean time per call is 14.7 minutes
Using the same data set from part A, perform the hypothesis test for each speculation in order to see if there is evidence to support the manager’s belief. Use the Eight Steps of a Test of Hypothesis from Section 9.1 of your text book as a guide. You can use either the p-value or the critical values to draw conclusions. Be sure to explain your conclusion and interpret that to the claim in simple terms
Compute 99% confidence intervals for the variables used in each hypothesis test, and interpret these intervals.
Write a report about the results, distilling down the results in a way that would be understandable to someone who does not know statistics. Clear explanations and interpretations are critical.
All DeVry University policies are in effect, including the plagiarism policy.
Project Part B report is due by the end of Week 6.
Project Part B is worth 100 total points. See grading rubric below.
Format for report:
Summary Report (about one paragraph on each of the four speculations)
Appendix with the calculations of the Eight Elements of a Test of Hypothesis, the p-values, and the confidence intervals. Include the Excel formulas or spreadsheet screen shots used in the calculations.

Quantitative vs qualitative design

To prepare for this assignment:
Review the article, “From Single Case to Database: A New Method for Enhancing Psychotherapy Practice.” Pay particular attention to how both quantitative and qualitative research designs are used to evaluate individual case studies.
Using the Walden Library, choose and review a research study in the area of forensic psychology that uses a quantitative design and another that uses a qualitative design. If possible, try to find articles that focus on similar or related topics or research questions in forensic psychology.
Consider the similarities and differences between the two studies in terms of the designs of the studies, the data collection and analysis methods, and the nature of the interpretation of results and conclusions drawn.
The assignment (2–3 pages):
Briefly describe the quantitative study you selected.
Briefly describe the qualitative study you selected.
Compare (similarities and differences) the two studies in terms of the designs, the methods of data collection and analysis, the nature of the interpretation, and conclusions drawn.
Explain an insight you had or conclusion you now might draw as a result of/based on your comparison.
Support your Assignment with specific references to all resources used in its preparation. You are asked to provide a reference list only for those resources not included in the Learning Resources for this course.

I will post the prompt here. Note the essay details are different than the prompt so do thoroughly read through the essay details which will be attached. Prompt:

R&ER Interview Paper

This assignment requires you to use sociological methods to analyze real-world data regarding colorblind racism. More than an exercise in theory and practice, this assignment asks you to reflect on your own beliefs and how to create social change. The relationship between theory and action creates an understanding of the mechanisms that create inequality. Understanding a social problem means we are better prepared to create social change capable of addressing the problem.

This assignment has three components intended to meet the following goals: to help students understand how sociologists collect, analyze and use data; to give students an opportunity to explore their own racial ideologies; and, finally, to understand the relationship between ideologies and social change.

The first part of this assignment uses Tatum’s idea of the self-interview, you will be interviewing yourself and three others and recording the results. The questions themselves are taken directly from Bonvilla-Silva’s (2006) survey in Racism without Racists (resources will be provided in the assignment prompt). You will begin by reading Chapter 2 from Racism without Racists, “The Central Frames of Color-Blind Racism.” For this assignment, you will use all four frames of colorblind racism discussed in the chapter—cultural racism, abstract liberalism, naturalization, and minimization of racism to code your interview responses.
Link to Chapter 2, Racism Without Racist, The Central Frames of Color-Blind Racism http://ndl.ethernet.edu.et/bitstream/123456789/32178/1/2669.pdf
This part of the assignment is particularly important because it allows you to better understand how sociologists make claims with data. Although Bonilla-Silva goes out of his way to talk about his methodology, students in my classes are often incredulous about his claims. By giving students an opportunity to use data and showing students the relationship between data and theory, students better appreciate the claims that can be made from sociological data.

Part I: Interview yourself and three other people using the questions that follow. Save your typed-up interviews in a word document to submit with your final analysis paper.

QUESTIONS:
1. Most schools in the US are still highly segregated by race. What do you think of this? Follow up: What do you think should be done about this situation?
2. Should minority students be provided unique opportunities to be admitted into universities?
3. Do you think there is still racial inequality in the US even after the Civil Rights Movement?
Follow up: (if NO) What you do think are signs that things are now equal? (if YES) How do you explain this inequality?

Part II: Everyone is required to turn in a typed-up table. The table should not only include the frame you selected, but should also include a sample quote that exemplifies the frame as well as your reasoning for selecting this frame.

Interviewee
Sample Quote
If Colorblind Racism, which ideological frame(s)?
Why did you categorize the interview in this frame?
#1
#2
#3
#4
Part III: In a 2-3 page double-spaced paper, reflect on your own interview, the interviews you conducted, and the process of coding the interviews. Discuss your findings.

Discussion3
Medicaid was enacted to help people with disabilities or possess low incomes as well as to protect children who may not have insurance. The field has seen a dramatic decrease in the number of private providers who are willing to accept Medicaid patients. Imagine you are an office manager of a small, one physician clinic. Recent balance sheets show that your clinic is losing money due to Medicaid patients. Respond to the following questions:
Describe 2-3 potential issues that arise with reducing the number of Medicaid-insured patients within the practice?
Often, healthcare is a balance between ethics and business practices. How can office managers potentially address these issues while remaining ethical?
Support responses with scholarly resources.
Please be sure to validate your opinions and ideas with citations and references in APA format. This topic is valued at 20 points. Please review post and response expectations. Please review the rubric to ensure that your response meets criteria.
