Sociology

Write a post answering following questions.

You have learned about different agents of socialization. Pick two agents that might potentially contradict each other, and explain how they work.

In explaining the mechanisms of socialization, focus on your personal experiences. For example, can you think of situations where family and school, religion and family, or workplace and neighborhood might be affecting an individual in different and contradictory ways?

1. Discuss child molestation, including the typical characteristics of a molester, the effects of molestation on the victim, the possible signs of molestation that parents should look for, and ways that parents can protect their children from these predators, including becoming aware of tactics used by molesters. 2. You are a high school health teacher and you are presenting your lecture on STDs, AIDS and safer sex practices. What information to include in this lecture?

2. You want to design a study to evaluate whether an anti-bullying program causes a reduction in bullying behavior among middle school students. Describe your study design in enough detail that another researcher could replicate it, including stating your research hypothesis, indicating your independent and dependent variables, and explaining your rationale for the design. What are two potential criticisms of your study?

Q: Why do you want to be a CPO peer educator? CPO stands for Center for Prevention outreach. I would love someone with experience to provide insights to their personal story.

Q: What experience do you have talking about health and wellness with your peers (high school or college)? Again I hope someone with experience provide insights.

Much appreciation, thank you!

The Shirt Works sells a large variety of tee shirts and sweatshirts. Steve Hooper, the owner, is thinking of expanding his sales by hiring high school students, on a commission basis, to sell sweatshirts bearing the name and mascot of the local high school.

These sweatshirts would have to be ordered from the manufacturer six weeks in advance, and they could not be returned because of the unique printing required. The sweatshirts would cost Hooper $23.00 each with a minimum order of 360 sweatshirts. Any additional sweatshirts would have to be ordered in increments of 50.

Since Hooper’s plan would not require any additional facilities, the only costs associated with the project would be the costs of the sweatshirts and the costs of the sales commissions. The selling price of the sweatshirts would be $46.00 each. Hooper would pay the students a commission of $8.00 for each shirt sold.

Required:

1. What level of unit sales and dollar sales is needed to attain a target profit of $11,250?

2. Assume that Hooper places an initial order for 360 sweatshirts. What is his break-even point in unit sales and dollar sales? (Round your intermediate calculations and final answers to the nearest whole number.)

A public health researcher investigating the prevalence of cigarette smoking among senior high school students found that upon surveying a random sample of 150 male students, 37 responded that they regularly smoked cigarettes. A similar survey of 100 female senior students identified that 18 regularly smoked cigarettes. (a) Calculate the sample proportion of senior male students who smoke. (1 mark) (b) Using your value from part a) manually calculate a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of senior male students who smoke cigarettes. (c) Using your confidence interval, say if there is evidence that the prevalence of smoking in senior male students has changed from the accepted historic level of 30%. (d) Calculate the proportion of female senior students who smoke cigarettes (1 mark) (e) Calculate the pooled proportion of senior students who smoke cigarettes and use this to conduct a hypothesis test manually to determine if the current rate of smoking amongst female senior school students is less than that of their male counterparts. Please use a significance level of 5% and identify the six steps in your hypothesis test.

The table below gives the number of hours spent unsupervised each day as well as the overall grade averages for five randomly selected middle school students. Using this data, consider the equation of the regression line, yˆ=b0+b1x, for predicting the overall grade average for a middle school student based on the number of hours spent unsupervised each day. Keep in mind, the correlation coefficient may or may not be statistically significant for the data given. Remember, in practice, it would not be appropriate to use the regression line to make a prediction if the correlation coefficient is not statistically significant.

Step 1 of 6:

Find the estimated slope. Round your answer to three decimal places.

Step 2 of 6:

Find the estimated y-intercept. Round your answer to three decimal places.

Step 5 of 6:

Determine if the statement "All points predicted by the linear model fall on the same line" is true or false.

Step 6 of 6:

Find the value of the coefficient of determination. Round your answer to three decimal places.
