Read the following scenario describing a research project, and then write a short criticism of this project. You should clearly identify at least four aspects of the project which you believe are incorrect or poor. These may relate to the research question, the experimental design, the analysis and reporting, and/or any ethical or academic misconduct issues. For each criticism which you identify, clearly describe the problem and state how it should have been addressed to improve the quality of the research.

A company providing on-line teaching software claims that students who are on-line students achieve better results on learning programming languages than on campus students. The company has developed a hypothesis based on this claim. The company chose one university to conduct research to test this hypothesis. It applied for research ethics clearance and at the same time included both on-line and on campus students to participate in this experiment.

At the end of semester, all students undertook the same assignment on programming languages. The company used final scores of all students to test its hypothesis. The company has published a report in which it concludes “the average score of 67 for online students is higher than the average score of 65.5 for on campus students, and so we can conclude that on-line students achieve better results in learning programming languages than on campus students. Therefore, this teaching method should be used for all students in future.”

Identify a company that has expanded or is planning to expand into international markets. The company you identify could be a small firm, a large multinational, or a new start-up going global from the beginning. Your analysis should consider the following:

A. Brief overview of the company. what it makes or sells, when it was founded, number of employees, annual revenues/profits, form of operations.

B. Analysis of its international/global strategy. What was the motive for expanding into international markets? You may choose to focus on strategy in a particular region or country or focus on how the strategy changed from country to country.

C. For the country you researched in project 1, analyze if this company should enter that market and if so, how...ie export, licensing, franchising, strategic alliance or FDI

ASSUME THE COMPANY IS NOT OPERATING IN YOUR COUNTRY NOW, EVEN IF THEY ARE.

D. Discuss challenges, obstacles and setbacks to their globalization efforts and what the firm did to overcome them. What were the company's key success factor? If not successful, why not? What might have been done differently? Your sources will include at least one academic journal, two quality Web sources and two other popular business sources (Forbes, Fortune, Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, Harvard Business Review)

BE VERY ELABORATE!!!!!!!

Make it at least 800 words.

I will like and comment if you make it too 800 words

Directions Use the Crosstabs option in the Descriptives menu to answer the questions based on the following scenario. (Be sure to select Chi-square from the Statistics submenu and Observed, Expected, Row, and Column in the Cells submenu. Assume a level of significance of .05).

Scenario

The school district recently adopted the use of e-textbooks, and the superintendent is interested in determining the level of satisfaction with e-textbooks among students and if there is a relationship between the level of satisfaction and student classification. The superintendent selected a sample of students from one high school and asked them how satisfied they were with the use of e-textbooks. The data that were collected are presented in the following table

Satisfied

Yes: Freshman (23) Sophmore (21) Junior (15) Senior (8)

No: Freshman (8) Sophmore (4) Junior (15) Senior (24)

Questions:

1. Of the students that were satisfied, what percent were Freshmen, Sophomore, Junior, and Senior? (Round your final answer to 1 decimal place).

2. State an appropriate null hypothesis for this analysis.

3. What is the value of the chi-square statistic?

4. What are the reported degrees of freedom?

5. What is the reported level of significance?

6. Based on the results of the chi-square test of independence, is there an association between e-textbook satisfaction and academic classification?

7. Present the results as they might appear in an article. This must include a table and narrative statement that reports and interprets the results of the analysis.

A group of high-school parents in Tucson, Arizona, in conjunction with faculty from the University of Arizona, claim that young women in the Tucson high schools not only are called on less frequently, but receive less time to interact with the instructor than do young men. They would like to see the school district hire a coordinator, spend money (and time) on faculty workshops, and offer young women classes on assertiveness and academic communication.

To make things simple, assume that instructor interactions with young men average 95 seconds, with standard deviation 35 seconds. (Treat this as population information.)

The null hypothesis will be that the average interaction time for young women will also be 95 seconds, as opposed to the alternate hypothesis that it is less, and will be tested at the 2.5% level of significance.

1. Give interpretations in context of Type I and Type II error in this situation. (Your discussion should not focus on “Null” and “Alternate”.)
2. What are the social, economic, and other consequences of (separately) Type I and Type II error?
3. Find the rejection region for this test. That is, what interaction time bounds the lower 2.5% of the distribution?
4. Assume the true mean interaction time for young women is 90 seconds. Find the power of the test.
5. Repeat part 4 for a true mean interaction time of 80 seconds.
6. What do the results in parts (4) and (5) mean in terms of your previous answers?

Suppose the scores of a certain high school diploma test follow a normal distribution in the population with a mean of 195 and standard deviation of 30.

1. About ______ percent of the students have a score between 135 and 195.

2. About ______ percent of the students have a score between 225 and 255.

3. The middle 95% of the students have a score between ________  and ________   .

4. Recently class A just had a Math exam, but class B had a Verbal exam.

- Joe in class A has a math score of 160, and all the math scores in class A have a mean of 140 and a standard deviation of 10.

- Eric in class B has a verbal score of 80, and all the verbal scores in class B have a mean of 50 and a standard deviation of 12.

Let’s assume students in classes A and B have very similar academic background, and both classes are hugh classes with lots of students. Then roughly speaking, relative to their respective classmates, who did better in the recent exam, Joe or Eric?

5. A sample consists of 26 scores. What is the degrees of freedom for the sample standard deviation?​

Paper should be about 10 double-spaced, type-written pages or the number of pages to fully explore the topic. The paper should include no less than 4 academic sources.

I am writing an essay about Minorities and stereotypes in The Big Bang Theory. What types of stereotypes they are using and how they are addressing in the show.   

Here is the paragraph you can look the answer. Please help me with that and feel free to look that up.

"Weitekamp says, “The show itself starts from the idea that scientists and nerds have a certain number of stereotypes and then the characters, I think, are really written in ways that both play off of and sometimes play against those existing stereotypes.”

“Part of the popularity of The Big Bang Theory has come out of it being the right show at the right moment where there’s been an evolution in the social acceptance of geeks or nerds. Being able to work on computers, to know about science to know these kinds of things, and seeing that as a new kind of ‘geek chic,’ and this show then tapped into that very effectively,” says Weitekamp.

“It’s unusual to have a depiction of scientists in a comedy not in a drama. They tend to be the side character who comes in with the answer, or who is so obsessed with their own work that they have actually created the problem,” says Weitekamp.

Finally, says Weitekamp, “If readers get a chance to look at my academic look at The Big Bang Theory,and see how science, scientists, knowledge about science, and how science works, it might allow readers to think a little about the ways in which science gets depiced on television and in the movies.”
