Caucasian and African women are segregated by the differences in their salary and education. With the persistence of racial-based wage and education gaps in modern society, the status and role of colored women, specifically those from the African descent, remain discriminated due to the prevalence of indissoluble racial and gender stereotypes. Although the philosophy of racial and gender equality has, in essence, created “equal education opportunities” for all females, the provision of racial equity has yet to be fully realized. In reality, however, the education and economic gap between Caucasian and African women evinces that the school and professional ...

Final Grade: 72/100

This paper is being submitted on January 18, 2017 for Tramaine Ingram’s STA3215 Inferential Statistics and Analytics course. At the request of the company’s client, we have performed research pertaining to the salary distributions of jobs in the state of Minnesota. The sampling was haphazard (non-statistical. The client is only interested in the jobs that pay salaries of between $40,000 and $120,000. Any job that that falls within this range was included in the analysis. The data set was obtained from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and consists of a total of 64 records. In ...

Question 1: Statistical strategy

The strategy here is to analyze the distribution or variation of the data instead of focusing on the measures of central tendency. Measures of central tendency can be misleading especially where the distribution is asymmetrical (Graham 38-80). In this case, the median life expectancy of eight months does not necessarily mean a cancer patient dies within eight months.

Question 2: Shape of the distribution

The available literature shows that cancer patients have a median mortality of eight months. The distribution of the life expectancy of cancer patients is not normally distributed. The data is positively skewed. Half of the cancer patients live more than eight ...

Why do Some Students Fail to Finish College in the U.S.?

Introduction

One of the major reasons why there are individuals who could not attend or finish college is poverty. In the United States, for example, poverty is the biggest hindrance to successfully completing college. Over the past several years, college tuition has increased dramatically. As compared to other primary goods, tuition fee increases almost twice as much while the average income of the majority remains almost the same. In just two decades, it has been observed that college tuition fees have increased by 500% while basic commodities increased only ...

Different Types of Facebook Page Posts

Different Types of Facebook Page Posts Social media marketing is consistently growing as more consumers and businesses become involved in social media sites, and various studies have confirmed the utility of social media sites such as Facebook in building brand image and equity for businesses owners (Kim, Sung, Lee, Choi, & Sung, 2016). However, the growing number of information available on the Internet also means users are overloaded with content and need to be selective of where they direct their attention. For Facebook page owners, that means their posts will be less likely to appear in the News Feeds of ...

Difference and Similarities among three Positions

Similarities and Differences The key similarity among three jobs, such as receptionist, information clerks and database administrators is that all provide information to customers. All three types of jobs are linked to providing information to the internal and external customers about company’s operations, policies, processes and new products and services. On the other hand, there are various differences between three jobs. One of the differences is the scope of the jobs. For example, receptionist is responsible for administrative tasks like taking calls and welcoming visitors (Bureau of Labor Statistics). Information clerks perform clerical duties ranging from maintenance of ...

Introduction

The wage gap has been a centre of discussion for past few decades and it seems it will remain a highly debatable topic; as the gap between males and females, and white men and females from other races is still persistent. Since 1996, the wage gap has narrowed, but women in the United States are still making only 79 cents for a dollar made by men (Kitroeff, 2016). The gap has narrowed in the last two decades as women have progressed in terms of workplace participation and education (AAUW, n.d.). In terms of races, the wage gap is greater ...

The bottling company measured a sample of 30 bottles to test if there is a significant likelihood that a bottle will have less than 16 ounces of liquid in it. The descriptive results of the test indicated that the average of the sample was 15.85, which is lower than the 16 ounce speculation. The median of the 30 bottles was 15.99, indicating that the median is relatively close to the 16 ounce speculation (Table 1). The standard deviation between measurements was .66. There was a 95% confidence interval of a lower limit for ounces of 15.60, however, the upper ...

Meaning of Neighborhood Stabilization Program

NSP (Neighborhood Stabilization Program) is an initiative established by the U.S Congress with the objective of stabilizing communities that have been subjected to property abandonment and foreclosures. This program was initiated under Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008, and it was intended to repurchase and redevelop the abandoned and foreclosed properties and homes (Neighborhood, 2016). Low- income individuals who default to service their mortgages usually have their residential property repossessed by the lenders. People are evicted from their homes, resulting in abandonment and foreclosure of the property. Such property would remain under the ownership of private lenders after ...

Introduction According to the Associated Press, there were more poor people residing in the state of Washington in 2013 compared to the previous year. This was the case despite the poverty levels remaining steady “across the nation” (Le par. 1). In addition, the United Way has recently revealed in a “comprehensive report” that “1 in 3” Washington households “struggle financially” (Hobbs pars. 1, 22). The experts have arrived at their own conclusions as to why that it is currently the case in the state. However, even though the cause of poverty in Washington State has ...

It has been said that if someone finds a job that he loves, he never actually has to work a day in his life since the job is so enjoyable and rewarding that it hardly feels like work. This idiom resonates with me because I believe that embarking upon my chosen vocation or calling for a tangible portion of my life will be challenging, rewarding, and enjoyable. As determined as I am to pursue the career of my choice, human resources manager, I understand both that I will need help achieving my objectives and that I will need to ...

Average velocity

The average velocity reported for microtubules propelled by kinesin expressed in insect systems is much higher than that reported for kinesin expressed in E. coli with a calculated mean and median of approximately 2.9330μm/s and 2.7974μm/s respectively for kinesin expressed in insect systems and 1.1579μm/s and 1.0903μm/s respectively for kinesin expressed in E. coli. This result is similar to result obtained by Korten et al. (15: 64) and Agayan et al. (29: 2265–2272) and the lower velocity observed in microtubules propelled by kinesin expressed in E. coli is likely due to the presence of ...

2A. Appraising Quantitative and Qualitative Research

Quantitative Study One source of bias during data collection is the use of self-report data (Polit & Beck 2012). Chivers et al. (2001) obtained data through the SF-36 and Beck depression inventory which required the patients to answer questionnaires. If they failed to give accurate answers, it would have affected the validity of the findings. The study design also allowed patients to receive other clinically appropriate treatments that were beyond the study protocol (Chivers et al. 2001). Additional treatments are confounding variables but their influence on the study outcomes was not estimated in the statistical analysis. This reduces confidence in ...

Tesla is an example of a company that is able to disrupt an industry. Before Tesla, the fully electric car was an idea in the research and development laboratories of gasoline-powered cars. After Tesla, the fully electric car is almost synonymous with the name of the company. The technologies behind the car are still expensive and this means that it is still a niche product. However, Tesla is working towards making it a more mainstream car. This paper looks at the efforts of Tesla to get its Model S into the Singaporean market. This paper begins with an introduction ...

Even with cyber security systems and measures in place, company cannot think themselves safe, for there are always some loopholes or vulnerabilities left in the defense system.

The United States is one of the most developed countries, but it is also one of the countries with the highest level of income inequality. According to research, more than half of the nation’s income goes to only 5% of the population, while the remaining half is shared by the 95%. One way of measuring a nation’s income inequality is through the Gini coefficient. The Gini coefficient measures income inequality on a scale of 0 to 1 wherein 0 corresponds to total equality; a scenario wherein everyone is earning the same amount while 1 corresponds to total ...

I was familiar with descriptive statistics before this course. We all are acquainted with mathematical calculations and descriptive statistics is based on calculations. In statistics, the data are clustered around a given set of observations so to analyze we use the measure of center, variability and shape . These are common methods of statistical calculations that are used in day to day life. For example ,we are familiar with the calculation of average of numbers. This is mean in statistics which is a part of measurement of central tendency (Triola,80).

Family is one of the interesting sociological phenomenon. Studied by many sociologists and psychologists, this concept persists to be one of the most dynamically evolving issues on the contemporary societal landscapes. In particular, traditional conceptions regarding this form of social organizations are being gradually replaced by the modern approaches to understanding a family, delineating the scopes of roles and responsibilities of the family members, as well as determining the family membership criteria (Shepard & Greene 82). As far as a dogmatic conception of a family is concerned, under this term the one should understand a group of people, which is ...

Abstract

In 2009, the US government slashed Medicare reimbursements pushing over two-thirds of health care providers into losses. Medicare reimbursements are expected to increase in the future albeit more slowly than the rise in the cost of providing quality health care. The challenge for BSA is to be able to align its costs in a way that they are able to deliver quality health care at a much lower cost. The key is to measure both the cost and the outcomes of the health care. There is need to establish an accurate system of measuring costs, as well as to ...

Introduction

The decision on whether to invest money or deposit it in a savings account is influenced by many factors. However, the most significant factor would be the economic gain from depositing money in a savings account compared to investing. Various indicators can be used to determine the economic gain to be made in terms of purchasing power. One vivid indicator is the real interest rate. Real interest rate as an economic indicator describes the rate at which an individual’s purchasing power grows from investing activities. The real interest rate is derived from adjusting the nominal interest rates in ...

Premise In the 70s & 80s, college costs used to rise at a slower rate than the cost of other services. But early in the 1990s, for some reasons, the price of college started to rise at a faster rate than the price of other services. For example: In 1971, the tuition fee of Harvard was around one-fourth of the median annual household income of $10,285. But in today’s world, the tuition fee has risen to the full value of the median annual household income to pay the full fee. For filling their tuition fee, millions of college ...

Euro area

As it can be seen from this table, raw index was always undervalued – the Bic Mac price in euro was lower than in dollar. It means that the euro currency is overvalued against the dollar. Moreover, we may conclude that the euro is not a very stable currency because the price for Bic Mac changes every year. In ...

a) Random sampling is where each element of a given population has equal chances of being included in the sample since the sampjle is picked arbitrarily. Once the sampling frame is identified, the researcher uses a table of random numbers to select the sample or through computer generated numbers. The main advantage of random sampling is that the same is a representative of the entire population. It also eliminates researcher bias. Besides, it allows for application of inferential statistics. The main disadvantage of random sampling are that it is complex. b) It is primary data and not secondary data ...

Question 1

a) Random sampling is a method of sampling in which each member of a population has equal chances of being included into the sample. Each member of the sample is chosen entirely by chance. Since each member has equal chances, one advantage of the random sampling method is that it is fair and unbiased. The random sample chosen can properly represent the population it is taken from. One disadvantage of random sampling is that there is no systematic approach in choosing the sample.
