Throughout the semester, you have learned about several theories and practices of psychology across many different areas. This assignment will give you an opportunity to apply some of those 1,500-word concepts, theoretical perspectives, and empirical findings. In completing this five, you will hone your critical thinking skills, recognizing and applying psychological principles, and communicating your understanding of individual, community, and organizational life experiences to a general audience. Task: For this assignment, you will write a paper based on a film or book that you will explore through the application of psychological theory and research. Step 1: Select a film or book of interest. For example, you might select a movie or book in which the main character suffers from a psychological disorder or is merely trying to cope with the everyday stress of life. Be creative. For instance, choose "Snow White" and talk about the Evil Queen's Narcissistic Personality Disorder or choose "Cat in The Hat" and talk about the Cat's "Borderline Personality Disorder" or something like that (please do not use either of those suggestions specifically). Do not choose something obvious, but be creative and thoughtful. Step 2: Review your course resources to identify three specific psychological theories or principles that can be applied to the analysis of the book or film. You might discuss defense mechanisms or refer to developmental stages in the person's life that might have been important, or consider the effects of abuse, alcoholism and addiction, etc. You can approach the subject matter from different perspectives—psychoanalytical, biological, behavioral, cognitive, and/or sociocultural. You can discuss the role emotion, memory, or motivation plays in the character's development, or the importance of the environment, and influences such as racism and sexism. Step 3: Search the library database using relevant keywords for your topic for at least one peer-reviewed article to support your ideas. Psychology cuts across many disciplines so feel free to explore journals in other areas such as business, education, health, and criminal justice. Tip: When conducting your search in the library include a theory or principle plus a topic (i.e. Body Dysmorphic Disorder and Adolescents). Use alternative key words to improve your chances of finding relevant articles and create a specific search statement to help narrow your results." The example might be something like "("Body Dysmorphic Disorder" OR BDD) AND (adolescent* OR teen*)"

As you might expect, there has been a spirited discussion about which method is most effective in terms of the effectiveness of delivering course content, student and faculty acceptance of different modes of instruction and the cost to the state of using different delivery methods. As a result of this discussion, five questions have arisen that require the use of statistics to answer them. They are:

1. Does student learning as indicated by average grades suffer if they are taught using alternative modes of instruction: traditional in-class teaching, on-line learning, or mixed on-line/in-class method?

2. Do students have a preference for which type of learning to which they are exposed?

3. Is the acceptance of students of on-line methods independent of their majors?

4. Is the proportion of faculty members favoring on-line or mixed delivery the same for all colleges within the university?

5. Does the average amount of additional instructor time required to deliver courses on-line differ according to the type of courses?

1.) Independent samples Of the course grades of students who took classes using traditional in class presentations, students to take classes online and students taught using mixed methods have been collected. The data are shown in the jpeg of the table below. Use this data to conduct the appropriate hypothesis test to determine if there is any difference between the mean scores of the student populations that took different types of classes. Use Tukey-Kramer to determine where the significant differences are.

Please provide a statistical analysis. You are required to submit the following information:

1.) The null and alternative hypotheses being tested.

2.) The Critical test statistic (F or Chi-Square) from the appropriate table. If it required using the Tukey- Kramer method, show the Q score from the table AND the critical value that you used to make your decisions. Also, specify which mean or means are not equal.

3.) The calculated value that you arrived at and the p-Value.

4.) Your decision, reject or do not reject.

5.) A separate part of the answer must be a memo sheet written in word that answers each of the 5 questions and explains why you answered as you did using the results of your statistical testing.

3. Calculate the required rate of return for Digit Force Sdn. Bhd. considering the risk-free rate of 6.5 percent and the market risk premium of 5 percent. The company has a beta coefficient of 1.3.

4. As a constant growth company, Digit Force Sdn. Bhd. paid its last dividend at $1.25. The dividend is expected to grow indefinitely at a rate of 6.35 percent; a. Calculate the firm’s expected dividend stream over the next three years. b. Calculate the firm’s current stock price. c. Calculate the firm’s stock price one year from now. d. Calculate the expected dividend yield, the capital gain yield and the total return during the first year.

5. Using the same information from Question 4, consider the stock is currently priced at $25.75 What is its expected rate of return?

6. Now consider the dividends were expected to have zero growth, what will be the price of the stock?

7. Consider an extreme condition. For instance, Digit Force Sdn. Bhd. is expected to experience a supernormal growth of 35 percent for the next 4 years, after which it will return to its long-run constant growth rate of 6.35 percent. Calculate the value of the stock under this condition. Also calculate its expected dividend yield and capital gain yield for year 1 and year 4.

6. Does climate predict suicide rates across the USA? According to Dixon and Kalkstein (2009) climate may be a predictor of suicide incidents. To test this possible link, data were collected on suicide rate per 100,000 individuals in each state and several indicators of climate. More specifically, the data include the following:
• Suicide rate per 100,000 individuals (i.e., 15 = 15 suicides out of 100,000 individuals)
• Average percentage of time the sun shines during the day (i.e., 58 = sun shines 58% of time during day on average)
• Average number of clear days (i.e., 99 = clear skies 99 out of 365 days a year)
• Average afternoon humidity (i.e., 52 = humidity is 52% on average at 4pm in the afternoon)
• Average temperature in Fahrenheit (i.e., 62.8 = average temperature throughout year is 62.8)
The data can be downloaded as either an SPSS file or Excel file. The variable names in each file are
• Suicide_Rate = Suicide rate per 100,000 individuals
• Percent_sun_days = Average percentage of time the sun shines during the day
• Number_clear_days = Average number of clear days
• Afternoon_humidity = Average afternoon humidity
• Average_Temp_F = Average temperature in Fahrenheit

In this lab, using C++, you will create two data structures: a stack and a queue. You will use STL containers to demonstrate basic ADTs.

Queue

For the queue, you will simulate a buffer. Remember it is first-in-first-out. The user will enter a number for the number of rounds to run your simulation. You need one function that randomly generates a number. You will also have a user specified percentage, and the function uses this percentage to randomly put the generated number in the buffer. For example, if the user enters 25, then there is a 25% chance of the randomly generated number been put into the queue. You will have another user specified percentage, which is the chance of a value being removed from the buffer. For example, if the user enters 50, then there is a 50% chance of the number in the buffer been removed in this round.
You need to record the length of the queue in each round. After each round of the simulation, calculate and display the average length of the queue. Equation to calculate the average length would be: ALi = (ALi-1 * (i-1) + Li ) / i, where ALi and ALi-1 are the average length in the ith and i-1th round and Li is queue length in the ith round. Does your buffer behave as expected, i.e. get longer if the input chance is greater, and get shorter if the removing chance is greater? Your program needs to handle the situation when the queue is empty and still try to remove a value. You can start the simulation with a queue of certain length.

Stack

Use a stack to create a function that creates a palindrome, i.e. a string that is the same forwards and backwards. It does not need to be an actual word. The function will receive a string from user input and it will return the string with the palindrome. For example, if you enter a string “abc”, your program will return “abccba”.

Testing program

Create a menu program for the user to test your buffer and to create a palindrome. For the queue, prompt the user to enter the two chances and the total number of rounds. Display the results to the screen in each round. For the stack, prompt them to enter a string. Create the palindrome and then display it. You can determine how this menu program should look like as long as it test the queue and stack properly

What to submit
 Code to implement your stack, both header and source files
 Code to implement your queue, both header and source files
 Code to test the operation of your stack and queue.

For each of the hypotheticals, you should prepare an analysis for each situation explaining what business organization form the business should use. You should define and explain key terms and concepts. Your combined responses on the two business situations should be between about 650 to 850 words. Include a word count in your submission.

You should study Chapters 19 & 20 before working on this assignment and rely on specific information from the text to support your analysis. Detailed analysis is required for this assignment.

Business Situation No.1

Joe operates a local gardening and tree trimming business. Joe also does some light landscaping work for a few of his commercial accounts. Joe is very successful and has enough clients to keep him busy, along with at least three workers, working six days a week. Occasionally, a client rents a piece of equipment from Joe’s business. Clients sometime take their time paying for Joe’s services and, therefore, Joe is sometimes late paying his bills.

Joe’s capital is only about $25,000, most of which consists of his new $20,000 truck and his assortment of lawnmowers, chainsaws, edgers, and gardening equipment. Joe’s wife handles the books, yet is not involved in actual business operations. Should Joe continue to operate his gardening and tree trimming business as a sole proprietorship? Explain.

Business Situation No. 2

As a part of a course assignment, a group of graduate students from JSU have developed a prototype for a new microchip to power the next generation of personal computers. The students have received assurances from venture capitalists to provide whatever financing the students will need to manufacture the chip, provided they receive 51% of the equity. The venture capitalists do not want to interfere in the business operations and have agreed to allow the students to control the operations, provided certain financial objective are achieved. The students and the venture capitalists expect to begin manufacturing of the chip within two years. Based on outside evaluations, the chip should be a success. The students/venture capitalists expect to go public within five years.

What type of business entity should be formed by these graduate students to manufacture and develop the chip (and to conduct further research and development)? Consider whether more than one company should be formed. Explain.

In this assignment students will demonstrate their understanding of the distribution of means doing all steps of hypothesis testing.
For each problem students will write out all steps of hypothesis testing including populations, hypotheses, cutoff scores, and all relevant calculations. Assignments will be typed and uploaded in a word document to blackboard.

1.A nationwide survey in 1995 revealed that U.S. grade-school children spend an average of µ = 8.4 hours per week doing homework. The distribution is normal with σ = 3.2. Last year, a sample of n = 100 grade-school children was given the same survey. For this sample, the mean number of homework hours was 7.1. Has there been a significant change in the homework habits of grade-school children? Test with α = .05.

2.On the basis of her newly developed technique, a student believes she can reduce the amount of time schizophrenics spend in an institution. As director of training at a nearby institution, you agree to let her try her method on 20 schizophrenics, randomly sampled from your institution. The mean duration that schizophrenics stay at your institution is 85 weeks, with a standard deviation of 15 weeks. The scores are normally distributed. The results of the experiment show that patients treated by the student stay at the institution a mean duration of 78 weeks. What do you conclude about the student’s technique? Use α = .05.

3.A psychologist has developed a standardized test for measuring the vocabulary skills of 4-year-old children. The scores on the test form a normal distribution with μ = 60 and σ = 10. A researcher would like to use this test to investigate the idea that children who grow up with no siblings develop vocabulary skills at a different rate than children in large families. A sample of n = 25 children is obtained, and the mean test score for this sample is 63. On the basis of this sample, can the researcher conclude that vocabulary skills for children with no siblings are significantly different from those of the general population? Test at the .01 level of significance.

4.The average age for licensed drivers in a county is 42.6, with a standard deviation of 12, and the distribution is approximately normal. A county police officer was interested in whether the average age of those receiving speeding tickets is less that the average age of the population who has a license. She obtained a sample of 16 drivers with speeding tickets. The average age for this sample was 34.4. Do all the steps of hypothesis testing using the 0.01 significance level.
