Create Descriptive Statistics and Data Visualizations

For this assignment, you will use an archival dataset of your choice (or the sample dataset provided in the course resources) to create descriptive statistics and data visualizations.
Your data set must contain the following:
At least two different grouping or independent variables (categorical variables)
One interval or ratio level variable (continuous variable) that can serve as a dependent variable
One binary variable that can serve as a dependent variable.
A binary independent variable can also be used as the binary dependent variable in a separate analysis, if appropriate. For example, you might have a variable with two levels that you use as the independent variable for your ANOVA analysis and that same binary variable is used for your dependent variable in your logistic analysis.
Complete the following steps using your data set:
Run exploratory statistics and charts on your selected dataset to understand the characteristics of the data. Note: bivariate relationships should be examined.
Write a paper that describes the characteristics of the data.
Indicate the level of measurement for each variable in the dataset (nominal, ordinal, interval or ratio)
Indicate the most appropriate distributional parameters (e.g. measure of central tendency and dispersion) and visualizations to summarize each variable.
Provide a justification for those selected descriptive statistics and charts based on the characteristics of the variables.
Discuss any data quality concerns that you have based on your exploration of the data.
Explain how you might handle quality concerns using supporting examples from the literature.

What is the new product or service?
How was the idea generated?
What is the market potential?
How would you test the concept of the new product or service?
What does the design of the product or service look like? Be creative here! Can you draft a picture of the product or draft a picture that represents/symbolizes the new service?
What is the estimated development time and process?

I have one more a 12 powerpoint side project Imagine yourself as a marketing consultant and consider a time when you wanted to buy a certain product but could not find it. In other words, the product has limited availability.
What was your reaction? Why?
How did the lack of availability affect your perception of the company and of the product? Did it make you want it more, or did it make you frustrated so that you lost interest?
As a marketing consultant, speculate on the supply chain and distribution channel strategy that the company was trying to achieve.
Now consider a product that is widely available.
What is your perception of the product and the company?
How is your perception influenced by the ubiquity of the product?
Speculate on the distribution strategy and goals for the company.
Evaluate the distribution channels of these two products that you just considered in the previous two instructions:
As a marketing consultant, compare and contrast the distribution channels of these two products.
How did the availability of the products influence your thoughts and attitude toward the product and the company?
Speculate as to whether the companies’ distribution strategies have proved effective and served them well.
What are your suggestions to improve the distribution strategies of the two products?
Requirements:
Prepare a 12-slide PowerPoint presentation, including one slide for the introduction and one slide for references.
Include a minimum of two references from the modules and/or media resources linked to this workshop.
When you have completed your assignment, save a copy for yourself and submit a copy to your instructor using the Assignment submission page.

discussion post: permanent book tax differences

There are some items that are not included/deducted for tax purposes at any point, creating a permanent book-tax difference. One of those items is interest income from municipal bonds. What are your thoughts on this tax treatment? What kind of taxpayer do you think this helps and what kind of behavior does it promote? Is this in the best interest of revenue generating tax policy?

Privileged Communication

Explain confidentiality and privileged communication. Compare and contrast the two terms. Describe common ethical limits to confidentiality for school counselors. Do school counselors have privileged communication in the state in which you reside? Why or why not?
Post a reply of 250 words. Use APA form and style to include in-text citations and a properly formatted

Analytics and Risk Management

I will attach all files needed to complete the research paper. The paper needs to be on TrackMan technology on the game of professional baseball. I will provide the project proposal but it was in the format of a case study. But this needs to be in the format of a research paper. Please use the files I will provide from my professor that has the guidelines and steps needed to have a successful paper. Please use the project proposal file as what the topic is, and use the comments from the professor to guide the direction of the paper.

Here are the comments my professor made to the “project proposal” I submitted. But again, that was for a case study and I am now changing the format to a research paper.

This is a good proposal and an interesting topic. The biggest risk is your lack of access to a proprietary product (and you may not receive it). Relying on employee perspectives is not enough to address the research problem you allude to in the summary, therefore, you should consider reframing the research, ex. analyze the impact of technology on professional baseball. Something that allows you to find what you need in existing data or research. Or you can interview other players to get their perceptions of how technology has affected their careers — and then frame it with the rise of tech in the baseball industry. You are on the right track but some further thinking needs to occur to ensure you can complete the project in the time we have in this course.

Explain how you could use the previously identified quantitative and qualitative data collection to design a mixed methods research study.

The instruction for the paper format is attached to the uploaded file box with three articles for my research proposal paper. The information below is a general idea of what my topic is about.

1. Explain how you could use the previously identified quantitative and qualitative data collection to design a mixed methods research study.
My originally quantitative research was on how to prepare primary students for academic readiness by implementing appropriate assessments for play-based learning. I will include observations and interviews from participating teachers’ and parents’ opinions on how the applied assessments have affected their children’s academic learning (qualitative data). The previously mentioned collected data (quantitative and qualitative) will create a mixed methods research.
2. Which type of mixed method design will you select, and why? (i.e. the convergent design, the explanatory sequential design, or the exploratory sequential design). Describe the sequence of the quantitative and qualitative data collection. Will the quantitative or the qualitative data be more prominent in your mixed methods research study? (See Chapter 16 for an explanation of the different mixed methods designs).
The convergent design is the best fit for my research because I can use the instrument Tools of the Mind (TOOLS) to collect the data of the academic readiness of the primary students (quantitative) and then use the interviews and observations from parents and teachers to seek if the TOOLS instrument was effective (qualitative). The quantitative and qualitative data can be used to check the effectiveness of each other. According to Creswell and Guetterman, pertaining to the convergent design states that ” qualitative, in-depth observation of a few people offers strength to quantitative data that does not adequately provide detailed information about the personal experiences of individuals and a detailed understanding of the setting in which they respond to research problems” (2019). Meaning that the instrument TOOLS that are used in my research study will not be able to tell the personal and visual detailed information of how the child learns academically. However, the instrument is designed to just measure what the child knows. So, therefore the qualitative collected data is more prominent in my mixed research study because it will visually in-depth tell us how the students learn.
3. After completing this activity, do you think you will do a quantitative, qualitative, or mixed methods research proposal for your final paper? Why?
After completing this activity, I will do a mixed methods research proposal for my paper because my collected data need one another to provide the best results of the effectiveness of the academic learning by numbers and visual observations.
