Each of the distributions below could be used to model the time spent studying for an exam. Take 1,000 random samples of size 25 from each of the distributions below. In each case (a,b,c), plot the empirical distribution of the sample mean, estimate the mean of the sample mean, and estimate the standard deviation of the sample mean. Compare the results to the theoretical results.

a. N(5, 1.5²)

b. Unif(0,10)

c. Gamma(5,1)

Choose a clinical topic and design a search strategy for searching an online database such as CINAHL or MEDLINE. Reflect on your search strategy, for example, what search terms did you initially use, what new terms did you discover as you searched, how did you limit/refine your search?

Reflect on your practice and identify a significant nursing clinical issue that you would like to search for evidence in online sources. This issue will be the basis for the Research Database Assignment that you will submit in Week 3. Formulate searchable, clinical questions in the PICO(T) format for your nursing clinical issue. Remember to integrate references.

Using an academic database, research one current issue affecting an organization's management today. Using one paragraph, summarize the article. In a second paragraph, state your opinion. In a third paragraph, state the author's opinion or are they just stating facts. In a fourth paragraph, state what concept/principle/term the article illustrates.

Financial accounting standards normally address the reporting practices of for‐profit business entities. Search the FASB ASC database to discover what the FASB reporting requirements are (if any) for the reporting by not‐for‐profit entities of their outstanding liabilities. Cut and paste your findings, cite your source(s), and write a brief summary of your findings.

d. A travel agency is frequently asked questions about tourist destinations. For
example, customers want to know details of the climate for a particular month,
the population of the city, and other geographic facts. Sometimes they request
the flying time and distance between two cities. The manager has asked you to
create a database to maintain these facts.

Write, in your own words, a one-two paragraph summary on the Running Queries and Reports tutorials. Apply critical thinking and an academic writing style that demonstrates your understanding of the difference between a Microsoft Access database and an Excel spreadsheet by comparing the features of each and when they would be used as personal computer applications if applicable.
