“In May 2019 Australian graphic design tool website Canva suffered an attack that exposed
email addresses, usernames, names, cities of residence, and salted and hashed with bcrypt 
passwords (for users not using social logins — around 61 million) of 137 million users. 
Canva says the hackers managed to view, but not steal, files with partial credit card and 
payment data. (Sourced from IT Security agency)

Referring to the case given, list and explain 2 steps that can help prevent data breach like this.

“…Many different departments within an organization now require access to the same data.
With conventional file processing, data are often duplicated in multiple files. Often
data are stored in different formats in each of the files in which they are stored. On
occasion, data which are stored in multiple files do not agree and time has to be
expended to resolve these differences. (Sourced from an Academic journal)

List and illustrate 2 benefits of a suitable database system to support a business like this.

With the arrival of the Internet, other mobile companies started
understanding how data, not voice, was the future of communication. Nokia
didn’t grasp the concept of software and kept focusing on hardware because the
management feared to alienate current users if they changed too much.”

List and briefly explain 2 factors that might have been overlooked by the business(es), referred to in the case.  

Referring to the case given, list and explain 2 steps that can help prevent data breach like this.

a.) According to a recent​ report, 46% of college student internships are unpaid. A recent survey of 120 college interns at a local university found that 57 had unpaid internships. 1.)Use the​ five-step p-value approach to hypothesis testing and a 0.05 level of significance to determine whether the proportion of college interns that had unpaid internships is different from 0.46. 2.) Assume that the study found that 70 of the 120 college interns had unpaid internships and repeat​ (1). Are the conclusions the​ same? Let π be the population proportion. Determine the null​ hypothesis, H0​, and the alternative​ hypothesis, H1. ​(Type integers or decimals. Do not​ round.)

b.) ​Recently, a large academic medical center determined that 9 of 23 employees in a particular position were male​, whereas 55​% of the employees for this position in the general workforce were male. At the 0.05 level of​ significance, is there evidence that the proportion of males in this position at this medical center is different from what would be expected in the general​ workforce? What are the correct hypotheses to test to determine if the proportion is​ different?

c.) A consulting group recently conducted a global survey of product teams with the goal of better understanding the dynamics of product team performance and uncovering the practices that make these teams successful. One of the survey findings was that 36​% of organizations have a coherent business strategy that they stick to and effectively communicate. Suppose another study is conducted to check the validity of this​result, with the goal of proving that the percentage is less than 36​%. State the null and research hypotheses. Identify the null and alternative hypotheses.

Assignment #8: Chi-Square Test of Independence 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 in the following table.

Student Classification (N = 126)

Satisfied Freshmen Sophomore Junior Senior

Yes 13 13 21 20

No 22 17 8 12

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.

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

Five students visiting the student health center for a free dental examination during National Dental Hygiene Month were asked how many months had passed since their last visit to a dentist. Their responses were as follows. 6 19 10 24 27 Assuming that these five students can be considered a random sample of all students participating in the free checkup program, construct a 95% confidence interval for the mean number of months elapsed since the last visit to a dentist for the population of students participating in the program. (Give the answer to two decimal places.) ( , )

In a study of academic procrastination, the authors of a paper reported that for a sample of 411 undergraduate students at a midsize public university preparing for a final exam in an introductory psychology course, the mean time spent studying for the exam was 7.34 hours and the standard deviation of study times was 3.90 hours. For purposes of this exercise, assume that it is reasonable to regard this sample as representative of students taking introductory psychology at this university.

(a) Construct a 95% confidence interval to estimate μ, the mean time spent studying for the final exam for students taking introductory psychology at this university. (Round your answers to three decimal places.)
(  ,  )

(b) The paper also gave the following sample statistics for the percentage of study time that occurred in the 24 hours prior to the exam.

n = 411      x = 43.98      s = 21.96

Construct a 90% confidence interval for the mean percentage of study time that occurs in the 24 hours prior to the exam. (Round your answers to three decimal places.)

Review Question 9 in Chapter 12 of the textbook.

The Company you work for is in the process of determining whether to have an information security audit (ISA) performed. Even though the Company is not (yet) required to have an ISA for compliance purposes with laws, rules, and/or regulations, they are very aware of the benefits such audit can provide. However, they also know how pricy these specialized audits are. Would you be inclined to advise your Company go through such type of audit, yes or no? Explain your position.

Response parameters:

The initial post should be between 250 and 350 words

The initial post must demonstrate effective communication skills and analysis that is thoughtful and objective

You must support your responses by searching beyond the chapter (i.e., IT literature and/or any other valid external source). Include examples, as appropriate, to evidence your case point

Plagiarism

You are expected to write primarily in your own voice, using paraphrase, summary, and synthesis techniques when integrating information from class and outside sources. Use an author’s exact words only when the language is especially vivid, unique, or needed for technical accuracy. Failure to do so may result in charges of Academic Dishonesty.

Overusing an author’s exact words, such as including block quotations to meet word counts, may lead your readers to conclude that you lack appropriate comprehension of the subject matter or that you are neither an original thinker nor a skillful writer.

Scenario

Sam is an eighth grader who is not finishing his work due to his off-task behaviors. According to his records, this has been an ongoing problem since third grade. His grades have become progressively worse this year. His academic grade in his social studies class (and in most of his other classes) is at 65 percent because assignments are rarely completed or are done haphazardly. When Sam does start an assignment, he often rushes through it, making a number of errors and overlooking information. His teacher reports the following types of off-task behaviors: reading books and magazines, drawing and doodling, daydreaming, and talking to friends and neighbors. These behaviors occur most often during independent work times and rarely during large group or whole class activities. Having reviewed Sam’s completed assignments and his class participation in group activities, Sam’s social studies teacher believes he is capable of doing grade-level work and has decided that Sam will achieve the following goals within six weeks:

• Increase the number of independent assignments completed

• Earn 80 percent or higher on all completed assignments Possible Strategies

• Specific Praise

• Criterion-Specific Rewards

• Choice-Making

! Assignment

1.Read the STAR Sheets on the possible strategies listed above.

2.Write a summary of each strategy, including its purpose.

3.Describe why each strategy might be used to help Sam meet one or more of his goals.
