Hello, I am working on an assignment but I am unsure of how to solve it. Please help me. The assignment details are below.

Consider this scenario:

Your friend starts a website, nothingbutflags.com, which is not making money. Your friend asks you to help generate more traffic. You ask your friend how much traffic the website had last month? And your friend replies and says only 500 visits. You also ask how many flags did you sell? Your friend replies only 10, from two purchases. So what do you advise your friend?

Know this information, what do you advise your friend?

1)Please submit what you think the highest priority issues is with the scenario laid out?

2)Actions to resolve what you have identified as the highest priority issue.

When advising you friend, consider also advising them on how to be successful in terms of generating website traffic and conversion:

Traffic: Direct, Unpaid referral, Paid referral, Unpaid search traffic, Paid search traffic.

Conversion: Purchase, Lead, Engagement, Account creation, Click-through.

There are three students (Alice, Bill and Roby) applying the scholarships which are evaluated by four professors. Each professor (P1, P2, P3 and P4) gives a score (between 0 and 10) which is then combined into an overall score for each student.
Here are the scores given by the four professors:
P1 gives 8, 6, 3 to Alice, Bill and Roby, respectively;
P2 gives 7, 6, 3 to Alice, Bill and Roby, respectively;
P3 gives 6, 4, 7 to Alice, Bill and Roby, respectively;
P4 gives 4, 9, 7 to Alice, Bill and Roby, respectively.
(1) If each judge's score has equal importance, which student(s) get(s) the highest overall score based on the arithmetic mean?
(2) If the importance for the four professors P1, P2, P3 and P4 are 0.4, 0.3, 0.2 and 0.1, respectively. Which student(s) get(s) the highest overall weighted score based on the weighted arithmetic mean?
(3) If using Borda count, such that a student awards 3 points for first place, 1 point for second place and 0 points for third place, what are the overall scores for the three students?

Laboratory: Enzyme Activity

In this laboratory you will examine factors that affect enzyme activity.

Catalase is an enzyme found in the liver that breaks down hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen gas. It catalyzes the following reaction:

H2O2 H2O + O2

You will examine two factors that affect its activity.

Part A: The Effect of Temperature on Enzyme Activity

Graph the volume of oxygen produced against the temperature of the solution.

How is the oxygen production in 30 seconds related to the rate of the reaction?

At what temperature is the rate of reaction the highest? Lowest? Explain.

Why might the enzyme activity decrease at very high temperatures?

Why might a high fever be dangerous to humans?

What is the optimal temperature for enzymes in the human body?

Part B: The Effect of pH on Enzyme Activity

Graph the volume of oxygen produced against the pH of the solution.

At what pH is the rate of reaction the highest? Lowest? Explain.

Why does changing the pH affect the enzyme activity?

Research the enzyme catalase. What is its function in the human body?

What is the optimal pH for the following enzymes found in the human body? Explain. (catalase, lipase (in your stomach), pepsin, salivary amylase)

I would highly appreciate if it was in a text form not handwritten.

Thank you very much.
