In this ted talk video, “The era of blind faith in big data must end”, Cathy O`Neil discusses about algorithms and how they do not make things fair at all. Cathy O`Neil is a Mathematician and a data scientist that also talks about the big data, and showing how algorithms could in fact reinforce human bias. In the beginning of this video, she talks about all of the bad data science things. At the end, Cathy O`Neil talks about the good data science and talks about the features of a good data science. You can find so many bad and good examples of everything. What really matter is the big picture of the good and bad things. I agree that big data has many drawbacks but all the examples and the “thought experiments” were either gender or race based (O`Neil, 2017).

Algorithms can be very useful in different aspect. Algorithms are useful by giving people an idea of how to reach a particular goal. For an example, algorithms would not function without online dating and book recommendation or even travel websites. Algorithms are most invisibly aids, augmenting human lives in incredible ways. There is so much science that is so good out there that we don't even realize it. In general, to use science and data science usefully we all need to have a better understanding of it.

Please answer the following open-ended questions using a minimum word count of 1,500 words total for the complete assignment

Chapter 4 – Critical Thinking Questions (25 points)

1. “Emotional intelligence is more important than cognitive intelligence in influencing an individual’s success.” Do you agree or disagree with this statement? Fully support your perspective.

2. Recall a traumatic personal event, such as losing a loved one due to an accident or illness, receiving a rejection for an important job or school application, or failing an important assignment. Based on what you have learned in Chapter 4, discuss what has happened to you in terms of your cognitive reasoning, your emotional reactions, and your ability to logically deal with these stressful situations.

Answer the following questions in a 400-600 word response [total for both] or 200-300 words each question. 1. The analysis of standard cost systems begins with the development of standards for direct materials, direct labor, and manufacturing overhead. Discuss standard costs and indicate how they can be used by management in planning and control. 2. Why is it important to consider the relationship among cost, quality, and selling prices when establishing standards for direct materials?

Q1:

What strategic competitive benefits do you see in a company’s use of extranets?

Answer :

An extranet can increase the value of your organization by helping you convey and work together more viably with customers, clients, and accomplices. Especially in the business-to-business market, an extranet can give your organization an edge over the opposition and set aside you cash by smoothing out conventional business capacities and reducing overhead expenses.

Extranets accomplish a similar work as an intranet, however it additionally takes into account correspondence on the planet. An extranet permits client, sellers and providers to get to the data through the PC framework. The organizations use extranets to get strategic like:

1. Expanded efficiency: As you mechanize measures that were generally done physically, bottlenecks will vanish and your organization's profitability will increment. Basic data won't lose all sense of direction via the post office or covered in an email inbox, and occupied representatives won't miss or overlook key functions. An extranet can, for instance, screen business exercises and trigger explicit activities, for example, naturally submitting a request with a provider when your stock dips under a specific level.

2. More limited chance to advertise: In the event that your business isn't moving at "Web speed," you hazard being abandoned. An extranet can assist you with getting your items to showcase all the more rapidly by making proposition and determinations accessible to providers, and surrendering customers and accomplices to-date data on current undertakings.

3. Construct client loyalty : Extranets make business simpler for your clients. The more you make convenient, precise data accessible to your clients, the more probable it is you'll keep their business

4.Reduced stock : One of the signs of a business-to-business extranet is its effect on flexibly chain the board. By connecting your stock framework straightforwardly to a provider, you can handle arranges when the framework realizes you need them, in this manner lessening the stock you keep available and making the acquirement cycle more proficient.

Q2:

Data Modelling is the primary step in the process of database design. Compare and contrast Conceptual data model versus Physical data model. Illustrates with help of example to list down data (entities), relationship among data and constraints on data.

Data modelling is the first step in database design. It is the process of creating a data model for the data to be stored in a database. It is considered as the high level. It is also referred as the conceptual design. Data modeling helps in the visual representation of data and enforces business rules, regulatory compliances, and government policies on the data. Data Models ensure consistency in naming conventions, default values, semantics, security while ensuring quality of the data..It describes the data contained in the database, relationship between data items and the constraints on the data.

Conceptual data model

This Data Model defines WHAT the system contains. The purpose is to organize, scope and define business concepts and rules. It  is an organized view of database concepts and their relationships.. It does not have the complete data of the database. It is used to create  entities, their attributes, and relationships.

·Includes the important entities and the relationships among them.

·No attribute is specified.

·No primary key is specified.

Physical Data model

This Data Model describes HOW the system will be implemented using a specific DBMS system. The purpose is actual implementation of the database.It offers database abstraction and helps generate the schema. The physical data model also helps in visualizing database structure by replicating database column keys, constraints, indexes, triggers and other schemas.

• Specification all tables and columns.
• Foreign keys are used to identify relationships between tables.
• Denormalization may occur based on user requirements.
• Physical considerations may cause the physical data model to be quite different from the logical data model.

Exception handling to detect input string vs. int

The given program reads a list of single-word first names and ages (ending with -1), and outputs that list with the age incremented. The program fails and throws an exception if the second input on a line is a string rather than an int. At FIXME in the code, add a try/catch statement to catch ios_base::failure, and output 0 for the age.

Ex: If the input is:

Lee 18 
Lua 21 
Mary Beth 19 
Stu 33 -1

then the output is:

Lee 19
Lua 22
Mary 0
Stu 34

---------------------------------------------------------

#include
#include

using namespace std;

int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {
string inputName;
int age;
// Set exception mask for cin stream
cin.exceptions(ios::failbit);

cin >> inputName;
while(inputName != "-1") {
// FIXME: The following line will throw an ios_base::failure.
// Insert a try/catch statement to catch the exception.
// Clear cin's failbit to put cin in a useable state.
cin >> age;
cout << inputName << " " << (age + 1) << endl;

cin >> inputName;
}

return 0;
}

Write a 525- to 700-word detailed outline of your Market Research Implementation Plan in which you address the following:

• Describe your selected organization and scenario.
• Based on your selected scenario, identify the detailed areas in which market research is needed - such as population, target market, and per capita - and describe their importance to the organization in the selected scenario.
• Develop an outline with headings and a brief paragraph for each of the sections that you anticipate having in your final Market Research Implementation Plan. You may decide to change these sections in future weeks.
