Select a research paper topic and develop an abstract.

Write 150 word topic proposal for your final project.

Your topic needs to focus on a critical challenge in cybersecurity facing National Security Professionals. This challenge can come from technology, policy, international relations, economics, or any of the fields where the digital world brings its effects to bear. Think about recent cybersecurity incidents and events. What research question comes to mind when you think of cybersecurity challenges?

Your topic proposals need to be clear and precise. Use bulleted points to clearly state the topic and address the parameters in at least one or two sentences.

1.3.22 Choosing numbers Use the following information to answer the next four questions. One of the authors read somewhere that it’s been conjectured that when people are asked to choose a number from the choices 1, 2, 3, and 4, they tend to choose “3” more than would be expected by random chance. To investigate this, she collected data in her class. Here is the table of responses from her students:

a. Define the parameter of interest in the context of the study and assign a symbol to it.

b. State the null hypothesis and the alternative hypothesis using the symbol defined in part (a).

c. What is the observed proportion of times students chose the number 3? What symbol should you use to represent this value?

d. Use an applet to generate the null distribution of the proportion of “successes.” Report the mean and SD of this null distribution. e. Determine the standardized statistic for the observed sample proportion of “successes.”

f. Interpret the standardized statistic in the context of the study. (Hint: You need to talk about the value of your observed statistic in terms of standard deviations assuming ______ is true.)

g. Based on the standardized statistic, state the conclusion that you would draw about the research question of whether students tend to have a genuine preference for the number 3 when given the choices 1, 2, 3, and 4.

. Why is pricing important?

. For each of the following pricing objectives, explain and provide a marketing example.

a. Profit oriented

b. Sales oriented

c. Status quo

3. Explain the importance of “demand” in price determination. Use your basic economic concepts of elasticity and inelasticity to embellish your responses.

4. Define each of the following pricing strategies and illustrate each with a marketing example. You must utilize what you learned about the product life cycle in your response.

a. Price skimming

b. Penetration pricing

c. Status quo pricing

Recall what you learned about criminological theories and behavior this week and respond to the following items in your post:

1. Identify two criminological theories that you find most applicable for reasons why people commit crime today. Explain your reasoning.
2. Consider the following two questions: As a society, should we discontinue programs that promote rehabilitation for prisoners and instead use those funds for other efforts, such as “fighting crime”? Or, should we continue these programs and decrease funding for the “war on drugs”? Which sentence do you agree with? Explain your reasoning.

Answer the following questions showing all work. Full credit will not be given to answers without work shown. If you use Minitab Express or StatKey include the appropriate output (copy + paste). If you do any hand calculations show your work using the Word equation editor. Clearly identify your final answers. Output without explanation will not receive full credit and answers with no output or explanation will not receive full credit. Round all answers to 3 decimal places. If you have any questions, post them to the course discussion board.

1. A team of researchers has developed a new weight loss supplement. They want to know if patients who use the new supplement for four weeks lose any weight. The supplement has some minor side effects including mild headaches and achiness. If the researchers obtain evidence of weight loss they will proceed to produce the supplement commercially and sell it for a large profit. If they do not obtain evidence of weight loss they will end the project. [70 points]

A. State the null and alternative hypotheses that the researchers should test. Use m_d to denote the mean weight loss computed as beginning weight minus final weight.

B. What does a Type I error mean in this situation? What are the consequences of making a Type I error here?

C. What does a Type II error mean in this situation? What are the consequences of making a Type II error here?

D. In this scenario, is a Type I or Type II error more serious? Or, are they equally serious? Explain your reasoning.

E. If you were working with this research team, what alpha level would you use? Explain your reasoning.

Assume that the research team completes this study with a sample size of 500 and finds a mean weight loss of 0.475 pound with a standard deviation of 3.978 pounds. Their p-value is 0.0039

F. Using the alpha level you selected in part E, are their results statistically significant? Explain why or why not.

G. Are their results practically significant? Explain why or why not.

2. The STAT 200 course coordinator wants to estimate the proportion of all online STAT 200 students who utilize Penn State Learning’s online tutoring services by either attending a live session or viewing recordings of sessions. In a survey of 80 students during the Fall 2018 semester, 29 had utilized their services. She used bootstrapping methods to construct a 95% confidence interval for the population proportion of [0.263, 0.475]. Use this information to address the following questions. [30 points]

A. Supposed the coordinator decides that she wanted to conduct a hypothesis test instead. She wants to know if the proportion who utilize Penn State Learning’s online tutoring services is different from 0.25. What would be the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses?

B. Based on the 95% bootstrap confidence interval, would you expect the coordinator to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis from part A at the 0.05 alpha level? Do NOT conduct the hypothesis test; use the confidence interval given in the question. Explain your reasoning.

C. Using this scenario, compare and contrast confidence intervals and hypothesis testing. List at least one similarity and at least one difference.

Sock Problem:
Your sock drawer is very unorganized! No socks are paired, and they are all just thrown randomly into the drawer. You do know that the drawer has four red socks and four blue socks in it. You want to get some socks to wear in the morning, but you do not want to turn on a light for fear of waking up your family.

If you draw two, what is the probability of a red pair match?

If you draw two, what is the probability of a match of any color?

If you draw three, what is the probability of a match of any color?

Describe your thinking and process

1. Explain in detail CAPM - CAPITAL ASSET PRICING MODEL

• What assumptions are Made in the CAPM Model？
• What is a MULTI- Factor Model

1. What are the potential risks to a business that fails to follow government regulations?

Question:

The economic shocks due to the current pandemic began with a supply-side contraction: businesses closed their doors and laid-off workers, leading to significant reductions in output and income. Use what means of analysis is at your disposal to explain what the consequences of such a shock are for financial and economic performance in the short run. Then consider the shock to be exacerbated by pessimism about the future, with government responses taking the form of debt-financed transfers. Explain some possible implications of this for financial market behavior during the recovery.
