Assessment measures are developed externally and required by legislation to provide data on school effectiveness

Schools and teachers are evaluated and sanctioned based on student performance on required assessments

Schools and teachers are responsible for assuring that all students from all backgrounds demonstrate learning through test performance

Externally developed assessment measures shape local curriculum and classroom instruction because they undergo extensive field testing and evaluation

Joe is a pastry chef and he wants to open up a bakery but does not have the funds to do it on his own. He was also denied a loan from the bank. He is not sure whether he should form a general partnership with his friend from pastry school or a limited partnership with his rich cousin who is a plastic surgeon and doesn't know anything about running a bakery.

1. How could you advise Joe?

2. What would be the practical differences between the two scenarios?

1. Decision support tools are widely used in the business world and are becoming increasingly complex and specialized. What do you think are the dangers of developing and using sophisticated decision support tools?
2. What are the advantages of using mathematical decision tools such as decision trees and weighted factors?
3. Suppose that you are about to make a major decision, such as returning to school full time (or ending your academic career to work full time). How could you use a tool discussed in this Part to help you as you make your decision?

For this discussion board post, I want you to locate a problem in your local community that the business would attempt to solve/ease in order to craft goodwill in the community as part of community outreach. I want you to locate a large-scale type of problem. You could think of things like school lunch debt, homelessness, starvation, trash on highways or in parks, etc. You discussion board post should be 200-300 words and engage both what the problem is and how the business would contribute to solving the problem.

1. Using a dataset, the following equation was estimated:

   sat_hat = 1,028.10 + 21.30hsize - 5.19hsize^2 - 40.09female - 150.81black + 50.31 female x black

                         (6.29)    (3.83)    (.53)    (4.29)   (12.71)          (18.15)

   The variable sat is the combined SAT score; hsize is size of the student’s high school graduating class, in hundreds; female is a gender dummy variable; and black is a race dummy variable equal to one for blacks, and zero otherwise. What is the estimated difference in SAT score between black females and nonblack females?

Selection sort on fstream data C++:

Sort the given student information data inside a text file

The format of the student data inside the text file is:

Student Number, Surname, First Name, Middle Name, Birthday, Course, Year, School Year

(The list can be updated over time so there is no limit for the size of the data)

But I need to automatically sort the given the data in ascending alphabetical order based on their surnames when displaying the list. I don't know how, please help me. Thank you :)

Aron, a college student, signs a one-year lease agreement that runs from September 1 to August 31. The lease agreement specifies that the lease cannot be assigned without the landlord’s consent. In late May, Aron decides not to go to summer school and assigns the balance of the lease (three months) to a close friend, Erica. The landlord objects to the assignment and denies Erica access to the apartment. Aron claims that Erica is financially sound and should be allowed the full rights and privileges of an assignee. Discuss fully whether the landlord or Aron is correct

1. Draw a structured flowchart or write structured pseudocode describing how to get from your home to your school. Include at least two decisions and two loops.

2. Draw a structured flowchart and write pseudocode that describes the process of guessing a number between 1 and 100. After each guess, the player is told that the guess is too high or too low. The process continues until the player guesses the correct number. Pick a number and have a fellow student try to guess it following the instructions.

The "reaction time" of the average automobile driver is about 0.7 s . (The reaction time is the interval between the perception of a signal to stop and the application of the brakes.) An automobile can slow down with an acceleration of 12.4 ft/s2 .

Part A

Compute the total distance covered in coming to a stop after a signal is observed from an initial velocity of 15.4 mi/h . (in a school zone)

Part B

Compute the total distance covered in coming to a stop after a signal is observed from an initial velocity of 56.0 mi/h .

In Arizona, all students in elementary and secondary schools have to take AIMS tests (which was largely replaced by AZmerit tests recently) as the state-mandated standardized assessment of math and English proficiency. A teacher wonders if high school dropout rate would be correlated with AIMS test results in a particular county. To explore this question, she collected the dropout rates and the AIMS Math pass rates (taken in 2012) at the county level for cohort 2014 from all counties in Arizona, as listed in the table below.

Calculate the Z scores for all the scores of AIMS English pass rate and high school dropout rate, separately. (please show work for a few so I understand how to do it)

Explain the direction and strength of the relationship based on the r.
