Describe sample summary statistics, provide a histogram and summary, check assumptions, and find the test statistic and significance level.

Scenario
You have been hired by the Regional Real Estate Company to help them analyze real estate data. One of the company’s Pacific region salespeople just returned to the office with a newly designed advertisement. The average cost per square foot of home sales based on this advertisement is $280. The salesperson claims that the average cost per square foot in the Pacific region is less than $280. In other words, he claims that the newly designed advertisement would result in higher average cost per square foot in the Pacific Region. He wants you to make sure he can make that statement before approving the use of the advertisement. In order to test his claim, you will generate a random sample size of 750 using data for the Pacific region and use this data to perform a hypothesis test.
Prompt
Generate a sample of size 750 using data for the Pacific region. Then, design a hypothesis test and interpret the results using significance level α = .05. You will work with this sample in the assignment. Briefly describe how you generated your random sample.
Use the House Listing Price by Region document to help support your work on this assignment. You may also use the Descriptive Statistics in Excel and Creating Histograms in Excel tutorials for support.
Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria, using the Module Five Assignment Template
Hypothesis Test Setup: Define your population parameter, including hypothesis statements, and specify the appropriate test.
Define your population parameter.
Write the null and alternative hypotheses. Note: Remember, the salesperson believes that his sales are higher.
Specify the name of the test you will use.
Identify whether it is a left-tailed, right-tailed, or two-tailed test.
Identify your significance level.
Data Analysis Preparations: Describe sample summary statistics, provide a histogram and summary, check assumptions, and find the test statistic and significance level.
Provide the descriptive statistics (sample size, mean, median, and standard deviation).
Provide a histogram of your sample.
Describe your sample by writing a sentence describing the shape, center, and spread of your sample.
Determine whether the conditions to perform your identified test have been met.
Calculations: Calculate the p value, describe the p value and test statistic in regard to the normal curve graph, discuss how the p value relates to the significance level, and compare the p value to the significance level to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis.
Calculate the sample mean and standard error.
Determine the appropriate test statistic, then calculate the test statistic.
Note: This calculation is (mean – target)/standard error. In this case, the mean is your regional mean (Pacific), and the target is 280.
Calculate the p value.
Note: For right-tailed, use the T.DIST.RT function in Excel, left-tailed is the T.DIST function, and two-tailed is the T.DIST.2T function. The degree of freedom is calculated by subtracting 1 from your sample size.
Choose your test from the following:
=T.DIST.RT([test statistic], [degree of freedom])
=T.DIST([test statistic], [degree of freedom], 1)
=T.DIST.2T([test statistic], [degree of freedom])
Using the normal curve graph as a reference, describe where the p value and test statistic would be placed.
Test Decision: Discuss the relationship between the p value and the significance level, including a comparison between the two, and decide to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis.
Discuss how the p value relates to the significance level.
Compare the p value and significance level, and make a decision to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis.
Conclusion: Discuss how your test relates to the hypothesis and discuss the statistical significance.
Explain in one paragraph how your test decision relates to your hypothesis and whether your conclusions are statistically significant.

What physical items we can use to deter crime.

This weeks discussion pertains Physical Security. In this lesson we will look at an analyze what physical items we can use to deter crime. There is a crime prevent technique called CPTED (Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design). Watch the following video and discuss:

(Links to an external site.)
Do you think this works? Look around your home and work spaces and think about CPTED, could it work there? Does this way of thinking have any place in our society? Would you like to see this implemented in your community?
Answer the following questions in your 200 word initial response

Identify your personal and professional goals related to this decision.

Respond to question 1. State thoughtfully why I want to further my nursing career as a nurse practitioner in primary care. Identify your personal and professional goals related to this decision.

Maybe add something about my grandma being a world war 2 army vet and my aunt being a nurse practitioner working in aids clinic when it was becoming prominent.

Identify two risks the company is facing, including at least one high-impact risk.

Prompt
Perform a risk assessment for TransGlobal Airlines and write a report describing the results.
Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria:
Identification : Identify two risks the company is facing, including at least one high-impact risk.
Identify the balanced scorecard component each risk corresponds to.
Classify the risk based on these two types:
Operational
Strategic
Evaluation : Determine whether the probability and impact of each identified risk is low, medium, or high. Justify your evaluation of the impact and probability of each risk.
Mitigation : Recommend a possible risk-prevention or mitigation strategy for each identified risk.

Discuss and analyze how social factors such as culture, socialization, statuses, and group memberships influence individual behaviors and perspectives.

Sociological Autobiography #1
Learning Objective: Discuss and analyze how social factors such as culture, socialization, statuses, and group memberships influence individual behaviors and perspectives
How did you become who you are? We often use individual stories to explain our identities, roles, likes and dislikes, occupations, and general life outcomes. The sociological perspective helps us think critically about how who we are has as much to do with the culture, social status, socialization, and groups we are part of (social structure) as it does with individual choices or preferences (agency).
Instructions:
Using at least five (5) of the key concepts from our readings, explain how you became who you are today. Make sure to specifically address each of the following items:
• How does your social position/location—race, class, gender, age, neighborhood, etc.—influence your behaviors and perspectives (worldview)?
• How and why might you view and do things differently if you occupied a different social position?
• How and why have your social position and perspectives changed over time? How and why might they change in the future?
Key Concepts
Norms, Social Statuses, In- groups and Out Groups, Reference Groups, Primary and Secondary Groups, Agents of Socialization (be specific), Social Capital, Values, Culture, Subcultures/Countercultures
Format
Your biography must be approximately three pages in length and incorporate at least five of the concepts listed above. Clearly indicate the concept you are explaining in either bold type or italics. You may also use other concepts we have covered thus far. Papers must be approximately three pages (900 words) typed, double-spaced in 12-point Times New Roman font with one inch margins. Writing assignments must be submitted via eCampus using the “Upload File” option— improperly submitted assignments will not be graded. (Note: files must be in .doc, .docx, .rtf, or .pdf format– other formats are incompatible with eCampus and cannot be graded).
