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) 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

Student Classification (N = 128)

Satisfied Yes Freshman 20; Sophomore 21; Junior 11; Senior 13

No Freshman 11: Sophomore 7; Junior 23; Senior 22

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.

Review the following course materials:

Rational Emotive Behavior

Cognitive Therapy

In this assignment, you will review and respond to a therapy session conducted by professional counselors using one of the following theoretical frameworks: cognitive or rational emotive behavior.

Select on therapy session (rational emotive behavior or cognitive therapy).

Utilize the course material, in addition to the textbook, for the theoretical framework selected. Think about the techniques being used in the therapy session.

Create a 7-10-slide presentation about the selected session. Include or address the following in your presentation:

A title slide

The therapeutic techniques, used by the counselor

Was the approach successful and why?

A reference slide with a minimum of two scholarly resources.

Include speaker notes below each content-related slide that represent what would be said if giving the presentation in person. Expand upon the information included in the slide and do not simply restate it. Please ensure the speaker notes include a minimum of 50 words.

While GCU style is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and in-text citations and references should be presented using GCU documentation guidelines, which can be found in the GCU Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.

This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.

Kyle and Tess Water are married, file a joint return, and have two dependent children in college, Luke and Taylor. Luke attends a State University in a neighboring state, and Taylor attends a State University in their home state. Neither receives any type of financial assistance. The Water modified AGI in 2017 is $119,000. The children's classifications and expenses are as follows:

Spring Semester

(paid in January 2017) (paid in July 2017)

Luke: Senior Master's candidate

Tuition $7,400 $8,200

Laboratory fees 550 550

Student activity fees 300 300

Course materials (books) 450 500

Room and board 3,000 3,000

Taylor: Sophomore Junior

Tuition $1,550 $1,650

Student activity fees 300 300

Course materials (books) 150 275

Room and board 3,300 3,900

a. Compute any education credits that the Waters may claim in 2017.

(Assume that both Luke and Taylor qualify as eligible students for the American Opportunity Tax Credit.)

b. How would your answer in Part a change if Luke received an academic scholarship of $2,600 (excluded from gross income) for each semester?

c. How would your answer in Part a change if Kyle and Tess's modified AGI for

2017 was $172,000?

d. How would your answer in Part a change if Luke had been a junior during Spring semester and a senior during Fall semester?

From what you've learnt so far, write a report on the agile development methodology from the point of view of a programmer trying to argue the case for management of Academic City College to adopt a specific methodology for internal system development and contracted (procured) system development. You can assume the organisation has no experience in agile development processes at all so you will need to provide detailed arguments (this is not true but for the purposes of the assignment you should assume it is true).

Your report should be structured as follows:

1. An overview of Agile processes

2. An explanation of your specific proposed framework

3. Arguments for and against the adoption of your proposed framework. You will need to reference authoritative sources to convince your management

4. Clearly identify what sorts of projects would benefit and what sorts of projects will not benefit . This can be part of your point 3 arguments.

5. An explanation of two aspects of Agile methodologies (XP, SCRUM or other processes) that could be adopted across the organisation, even if some systems were not appropriate for your proposed framework. Explain why this is a good idea.

The report should not be more than 1500 words. You will not be penalised for going over the limit but it may indicate you have too much detail or your writing is not precise. Feel free to use the above items as major headings in your report/essay, a bit more concise of course. You should add a brief Executive Summary and a brief Conclusion.

The superintendent selected a sample of students from one high school and asked them how satisified they were with the use of e-textbooks. The data that were collected are presented in the following table.

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?

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.

Note: The table must be created using your word processing program. Tables that are copied and pasted from SPSS are not acceptable.

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 test 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 on-line 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.”
