Analysis steve jobs commencement speech stanford 2005. Explore and describe the content of the speech. Provide a summary of the speech. The following questions may help you develop this portion of your analysis: •What were the main points of the speech? How were they easy or not so easy to follow?•How were these main points developed? (Use of examples? Use of statistics?Use of metaphors?) •How was the message ‘worded’? What language was used? Did any terms or phrases really make an impression? Why and what effect did those words have?•Who was the intended audience? What cues/language clued you into who is the intended audience? How would you evaluate the speaker’s ability to address the intended audiencnce?

In 2005, the Department of Defense announced its Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) plan outlining which military bases were going to be shut down. This plan immediately caused great concern among the congressional representatives in whose districts the bases designated for closure were located. Suppose that a military base that employs 10,000 people was closed down. Describe the different sectors of the local economy that would be affected by the shutdown.

I'm using 2005 NFL stats to come up with a multiple linear regression analysis models with the winning percentage being the dependent variable. My question would be, what are the most significant variables that are used in deciding an NFL team's capacity to win? Passing yards, rushing game, defense or field goals are some of my independent variables. But I’m considering adding the defensive stats to the regression. How do I complete the introduction and model subtopics for my presentation?

1. Introduction

A. Topic: Select a topic of research in an area of applied science in which you are interested. Make sure to get instructor approval before proceeding. Use research literature to provide an introductory summary of the topic that establishes your interest and expertise within the area of study.

B. Research Question: Formulate an analytical, researchable question based on your topic. The scope of your research question should be reasonable given the time constraints of the course.

C. Information: Gather and summarize applicable data, research, or other information that you intend to use in the creation and analysis of your model. For example, you might first consider principles or data sets to inform the creation and analysis of your model.

D. Assessment: Assess the appropriateness of the information you gathered. How will the information help you create an effective mathematical model to address your research question? Are there any underlying assumptions or limitations in the information you gathered?

II. Model

A. Selection: Select a model type to create. Defend your selection, comparing it to other types of models. In other words, why did you choose your model type? Does the model type you chose, have any limitations? What comparative tests can you perform to support your model choice? Use research to support your model type selection.

B. Creation: Create the model using the information you gathered. Remember to be cognizant of the research question and to use appropriate mathematical tools, technology, theoretical underpinnings, and/or data, if applicable.

C. Process: Explain the process you used to build your model. Include your reasoning for specific choices and decisions you made while building your model. Use research to support your choices.

D. Tools: What tools and techniques did you use to create your model? Why are these tools and techniques appropriate for the information you gathered, and the model type you selected? Be sure to provide support for your choices.

E. Analysis: Analyze the results of your model to determine whether the model fits the research question and information you gathered. How well do the model results fit the question and information? Consider including computational tests or graphical displays to support your argument.

F. Limitations: What limitations does your model have? Use algorithmic, tabular, and graphical displays to articulate the limitations of your model.

G. Approach: Explain the approach that you took to answer your research question. Be sure to fully explain the process and steps you used to achieve your results. H. Applicability: Articulate the purpose for your model. How applicable is the model to the research question? How does the model help you answer your research question? How well does it align to the research

Hurricane damage: In August and September 2005, Hurricanes Katrina and Rita caused extraordinary flooding in New Orleans, Louisiana. Many homes were severely damaged or destroyed, and of those that survived, many required extensive cleaning. It was thought that cleaning flood-damaged homes might present a health hazard due to the large amounts of mold present in many of the homes. In a sample of 360 residents of Orleans Parish who had participated in the cleaning of one or more homes, 67 had experienced symptoms of wheezing, and in a sample of 180 residents who had not participated in the cleaning, 40 reported wheezing symptoms (numbers read from a graph). Can you conclude that there is a difference between the proportion of residents with wheezing symptoms who cleaned flood-damaged homes and those who did not participate in the cleaning? Let p1 denote the proportion of residents with wheezing symptoms who had cleaned flood-damaged homes and p2 denote the proportion of residents with wheezing symptoms who had not cleaned flood-damanged homes. Use the =α0.05 level of significance and the P-value method with the TI-84 Plus calculator.

1. State the null and alternate hypotheses.

2. Compute the P-value

3. determine whether it rejects.

4. Was there enough evidence?

Many homes were severely damaged or destroyed, and of those that survived, many required extensive cleaning. It was thought that cleaning flood-damaged homes might present a health hazard due to the large amount of mold present in many of the homes. In a sample of 365 residents of Orleans Parish who had participated in the cleaning of one or more homes, 77 had experienced symptoms of wheezing, and in a sample of 179 residents who had not participated in cleaning, 23 reported wheezing symptoms. Can you conclude that the proportion of residents with wheezing symptoms is greater among those who participated in the cleaning of flood-damaged homes?

a. State whether the test is:

i) a two-sample t-test (independent samples)

ii) a matched pairs

iii) a two sample proportion test

b. Write H0 and H1

c. Using Minitab, list the test statistic the p-value your conclusion: reject H0 or do not reject H0. Note: if α is not provided, use a 0.05 significance level

d.   Write a sentence that explains your conclusion in context with the claim. Include the significance level and p-value in this sentence.

e.   Copy and paste the relevant Minitab output into the document. Answers alone are sufficient, you do not need to copy the exercise into the document.

Case 5: Tim bought a house for $500,000 in 2005 in California. When his daughter Mary got married in August 2010, he gave the house to Mary as a wedding gift. The fair market value of the house was $400,000. Mary and her husband Jerry have lived in the house since then.

1. How much is the taxable gift?

2. If later Mary wants to divorce Jerry, they will split the house value 50/50. (True or False)If Mary and Jerry sell the house for $550,000 in April 2011:

3. What is the amount of capital gain (or capital loss)? Is the capital gain/loss long term or short term?If Mary and Jerry sell the house for $450,000 in April 2011:

4. What is the amount of capital gain (or capital loss)? Is the capital gain/loss long term or short term?If Mary and Jerry sell the house for $350,000 in April 2011:
