I agree or not agree and why? *meaningful* comments (not just "I agree" but something substantive engage the ideas).

Although there have been recent events that seem to cause the collapse of civilization likely in the coming decades, I do not think that it is immoral to have children. Also, regarding reducing greenhouse gases, I do not think that people should be restricted to having less children. Procreation is a basic, fundamental right that is deeply valued and is important for the continuation of the human society. Procreation is one of the most important events in some peoples’ lives and the to cultural expectations. Some people may argue that to question someone for their procreational choices is also a morally inappropriate. To many people, bringing a child into the world causes them extreme happiness. Procreating is often seen as a lifelong project to many prospective parents and they would see limitations to their choices as inappropriate and excessively demanding. Many may argue that it is not the best choice to bring a child into a world full of chaos and uncertainty, but that ultimate decision should only be made by the parents. Trevor Hedberg states that “it is inappropriate to claim that an individual’s procreative acts cause harm in the morally relevant sense,” which I completely agree with because you will not know if that child will cause harm to others until he/she has grown up. The world in which we live in today is vastly different than what that child will live in, but there are always ways to adapt and find solutions to problems, just as today’s society has done. Procreation is our moral right and the decision to do so, during these times, should not be judged negatively.

Begin by re-writing the problem.  Minitab is required; attach or include your output. Use Word; you may handwrite equations. You may want to refer to the Minitab handout for Chapter 11, which may be found on Canvas.

1. Quarterly GPAs are compared for seven randomly chosen students in each of the four business majors at Catalyst University. Do the data show a significant difference in mean GPAs?  The data is in the file named GPA1.

a) At the 0.05 level of significance, determine if there is a difference in the GPAs by Business Major. State your hypotheses and show all 7 steps clearly. (8 points)

2. Give and interpret the p-value. (3 points)

3. Should Tukey pairwise comparisons be conducted?  Why or why not? (3 points)

4. If appropriate, use Minitab to produce Tukey pairwise comparison.  Write a few sentences with your conclusions from those comparisons.  (5 points)

5. Use Levene’s test to determine if the assumption of homogeneity of variances is valid.  Give the hypotheses, test statistic, p-value, decision and conclusion.  Use the 0.05 level of significance.  (8 points)

6. Verify with Minitab by attaching or including relevant output. (6 points)

EXPERIMENTAL PROTOCOL:

This exercise will engage students in examining uptake of green fluorescent-tagged bacteria by macrophage cells and unveil the endocytic mechanism used by them. Half of the class will assess bacterial endocytosis by macrophages at different time points, while the other half of the class will test the impact of a endocytosis-altering compound on bacterial uptake.

THIS TABLE OF CONTEXT BELOW IS THE GRAPH INFO ON ALL THE DATA COLECTED FROM THE STUDENTS. 1/2 STUDENTS USED THE CONTROL THE Latrunculin WITH THE E COLI. OTHER 1/2 CLASS DID IT WITHOUT THE CONTROL (MACROPAGES WITH E COLI.). IN STEP 9 EACH GROUP WAS ASSIGNED A DIFFERT TIME OF INCUBATION RANGING FROM 0,15,30 MIN.

1. Summarize your interpretation of the findings.

2.  Include a statement about the future scientific directions suggested by your findings from the experiment (suggest future experiments using as base the results obtained in the lab)

4. Creat a graph with data given. A STANDARD DEVIATION AND AVERAGE graph.

   4. Distributions from qualified pension plans are received tax-free by the retiree.
   5. None of the above.

1)The brain continues to amaze and baffle researchers. This rather complicated 3 pound structure of the central nervous system contains a large number of parts that work together to produce and organize even the most complex behaviors. Just as if you were describing a car's engine parts, each part has a particular function.

For this post, I would like for you to (1). choose any one structure or part of the human brain and discuss it's function(Not the brain stem or frontal lobes because they are already taken. In other words, tell us what this structure of the brain is "in charge of" or does.

Also, include a detailed summary as to what an individual would look or act like if the structure you choose was damaged or destroyed. Feel free to include links to video clips that demonstrate what occurs when this structure is affected.

2)The section in our chapter that discusses neurotransmitters gets me thinking about medications that aid in neurotransmitter production and/or regulation. Specifically, I am interested in us discussing the role of medications with mental illness.

As a society it seems as if we are more interested in taking a pill to decrease symptoms rather than going to therapy. No? If so, is this a good thing? What are your thoughts about this debate (Therapy vs. Medication)?  

In this post, make sure that you are discussing you opinion about this topic as well as including relavent source material that will back up your opinion. There are a number of studies that actually compare these variables and citing any of them would help support your thoughts!

Please respond to each of the following case scenarios. Your perspective is that of a Supervisor or as an observer evaluating the supervisor’s decision in each of the scenarios, unless otherwise advised. Ensure that you identify the specific prohibited grounds, if you find that there is the basis for a Human Rights complaint. Also, make sure that you address the relevant issues in each case and provide an explanation, as needed. Limit your response for each scenario, to about 150 words per scenario, but if you need more words for some scenarios, then go ahead.

1. You meet your friend Clement, for lunch and he is upset. A new buyer has purchased his company and Clement was just told by his supervisor that he is being terminated without cause. Clement is a junior designer has been with the company for 4 ½ years. He tells you that the company is offering him 7 weeks of pay as severance, and that his supervisor told him that this offer is “quite generous.” He wants to call a lawyer and sue the Company as he tells you, “I am a good employee. I am the most productive on my team and I follow all the rules. This is so unfair.” He asks you for your advice, knowing that you understand Employment Law better than he does. Should Clement accept the Company’s offer or should he retain a lawyer to sue the Company? Explain the pros and cons of each option fully in making your clear recommendation.

Question 1

Companies generate and store immense amounts of data independent of specific research goals. Various business functions involve generating data and keeping records of their day-to-day operations. Data, therefore, accumulates over time. For example, the finance department will keep a record of the salaries being paid each month, and managers might keep a record of employee performance on a quarterly basis.

The following table lists some of the major business functions at Sonic Selection. Complete the table by providing one type of data that might be generated and recorded for each of the business functions. Provide a brief explanation of each type of data, and how the data could be used in a meaningful way to gain insight into business functions or to inform decision-making. (Max. 50-100 words per business function, excluding the “Data generated” column.)

Note: You should consult the Business Canvas Model to help you answer this question. The first row of the table has been completed as an example.

You may make assumptions about the type of data generated in each function, and rationalise it in the “Utilisation of data” column.

Our bodies produce heat from the work of keeping us alive. This heat is known as the body temperature, which is continuous and approximately normally distributed. The previous standard for a healthy body temperature was 98.6 F. However, the current average body temperature for a healthy human is 98.2 F, with a population standard deviation of 0.75 F

Single Subject

1. What is the probability of selecting a person who has a healthy body temperature (between 97 F and 100 F)?
2. What is the probability of selecting someone who has a body temperature of at least 100 F?
3. Find and interpret

4. Take your body temperature (in degrees Fahrenheit) and state it:

   1. Use your body temperature from above to find your percentile for body temperature.
   2. Interpret the percentile value you found above.

Groups of Subjects

Now, assume that you are creating a sampling distribution of by sampling a group of people.

5. State the expected mean and standard deviation for body temperatures in a group of 5 people.
6. What is the probability of selecting a group of 5 people with an average body temperature below 97 F?
7. What is the probability of selecting a group of 5 people who have a body temperature of at least 98 F?
8. What is the probability of selecting a group of 15 people who have a body temperature of at least 98 F?
9. Describe what happens to the standard deviation of the sampling distribution as group size increases. Include mathematical justification.
