Assignment 1: Testing Hypotheses for Means
This week you have explored three different approaches to t tests. By this point, you know that each test has assumptions about the data and type of research questions it can answer. For this Assignment, you will be provided with three scenarios. As you read the scenarios, be sure and think about aligning the appropriate t test with the question. Consider whether the data are independent samples and if two samples are being compared.
To prepare for this Assignment:
Review the Learning Resources and the media programs related to t tests.
Next, using SPSS software, open the High School Longitudinal Study dataset provided in this week’s Learning Resources.
Also, review the t test scenarios found in this week’s Learning Resources and consider the three different approaches of t tests:
Independent sample t test
Paired sample t test
One sample t test
Based on the High School Longitudinal Study dataset and each research scenario provided, choose a t test analysis and run a sample t test.
Once you perform your t test analysis, review Chapter 11 of the Wagner text to understand how to copy and paste your output into your Word document.
For this Assignment:
Write a 2- to 3-paragraph analysis of your t test results for each research scenario. In your analysis, display the data for the output. Based on your results, provide an explanation of what the implications of social change might be.
Use proper APA format, citations, and referencing for your analysis, research questions, and output.
By Day 7
Submit Assignment 1: Testing Hypothesis for a Mean.
Assignment 2: t Tests in Practice
The practice of quantitative research not only involves statistical calculations and formulas but also involves the understanding of statistical techniques related to real world applications. You might not become a quantitative researcher nor use statistical methods in your profession, but as a consumer, citizen, and scholar-practitioner, it will be important for you to become a critical consumer of research, which will empower you to read, interpret, and evaluate the strength of claims made in scholarly material and daily news.
For this Assignment, you will critically evaluate a scholarly article related to t tests.
To prepare for this Assignment:
Search for and select a quantitative article specific to your discipline and related to t tests. Help with this task may be found in the Course guide and assignment help linked in this week’s Learning Resources.
For this Assignment:
Write a 2- to 3-page critique of the article. In your critique, include responses to the following:
Why did the authors use this t test?
Do you think it’s the most appropriate choice? Why or why not?
Did the authors display the data?
Do the results stand alone? Why or why not?
By Day 7
Submit Assignment 2: t tests in Practice.
Application: PICO Analysis of Dementia
A PICO analysis is used to pose a focused clinical question to which you find appropriate evidence-based answers. The PICO question should include the patient or population (P), anticipated intervention (I), comparison group or current standard (C), and outcome desired (O). In this Assignment, you develop a question related to dementia. Through your PICO analysis, you explore various resources and examine current evidence to answer the question you develop.
To prepare:
Select one of the following disorders as your topic: dementia.
Review the guidelines in the “Literature Review Matrix” document in this week’s Learning Resources. (see last part)
Think about a research question around your issue as indicated in Part I: PICO Analysis of Research Topic.
Consider the resources you will use, search terms and criteria, and Boolean search strings as indicated in Part II: Search Strategy.
Using the Walden Library and other appropriate databases, locate five articles related to your PICO question. At least one article must be a systematic review. All of the articles should be primary sources.
Reflect on the five articles you selected as indicated in Part III: Analysis of Literature. Consider the conceptual framework/theory, main finding, research method, strengths of study, weaknesses, and level of evidence for each article.
Consider how to use the summaries in Part III to create an evidence table. Use this evidence table to determine appropriate treatment options for patients who present with the disorder you selected as your topic.
To complete:
Formulate a question around the disorder you selected as indicated in Part I: PICO Analysis of Research Topic.
Identify the resources you will use, search terms and criteria, and Boolean search strings as indicated in Part II: Search Strategy.
Summarize the five articles you selected as indicated in Part III: Analysis of Literature. Describe the conceptual framework/theory, main finding, research method, strengths of study, weaknesses, and level of evidence for each article.
Create an evidence table based on the article summaries in Part III. Describe appropriate treatment options for patients based on this evidence table.

IMPROVING CUSTOMER SATISFACTION BY ENHANCING THE LOAN PROCESSING SYSTEM AT NATIONAL BANK OF ABU DHABI, UAE.
Assessment Rubrics: Thesis, Evidence, Coherence, Style, Mechanics
Key Terms: Humor, Irony, Allusion, Parody, Satire, Sarcasm
Objectives:
• To demonstrate your growing understanding of the definitions and functions of various styles of humor, as well as the nature of intertextuality.
• To demonstrate your growing understanding of thesis-based argumentation to an extended composition.
• To demonstrate your growing understanding of plain English style to an extended composition.
Assignment Description:
For this project, you will choose a commercial, film, comic strip (or any other form of entertainment that others find funny but you do not. (Note: The only format you man not use is a meme.) Your goal is to write an essay that analyzes the reasons that others find it funny. In order to do this, you should identify the target audience for the work, define the primary types of humor the creators employed, identify the ways (methods) the creators apply to deliver the humor to their audience.
Types of Humor – you should consider the readings and lectures from our class and give examples from the “text” (the source you have chosen to analyze) that support your claims. What are the primary features of this style of humor and how does this text fits these categories?
Target Audience – you should locate demographic information (data) by using library resources AND consider evidence within the “text” itself that give you clues as to the intended audience. Give specific, concrete examples of both.
Methods – this is a very important section that will vary greatly from essay to essay, depending on your chosen subject. Does the humor rely on outside references? Slapstick humor? Conflict between two characters? Sarcasm? Puns? Give examples that support your claims.
Conclusion – don’t forget to conclude your essay by explaining how/why you do not find the “text” funny. Your conclusion should be a culmination of all of the points made throughout your paper.
Formatting: 12 point, Times New Roman, double spaced. MLA documentation for sources and formatting for pagination, title and header, and margins.
**MUST USE SCHOLARLY SOURCES
* The length requirement approximates what the instructors believe an assignment of this scope might look like. Note that the actual scoring of the assignment is based entirely upon the RUBRICS. Where length is involved, writing clear, concise prose (see the rubric for Style) will shorten your essay. This is a good thing! Conversely, the rubric for Evidence requires that you include and analyze a sufficient amount of relevant evidence, which will lengthen your document. You should find that the tension between these two elements would land you, much like Goldilocks, at a length that is “just right.”
Essay fulfills all the requirements of Rating 5 and achieves a level of artistic mastery that may be marked by an innovative, authentic, and provocative thesis.
(Rating 5: Essay contains an analytic statement that is clear; that elaborates on multiple implications; that identifies non-obvious (surprising, counter-intuitive) complexities of meaning and implications; and that does so at a sophisticated level.)
Basically, choose a topic (Amy Schumer\’s vulgar comedy), discuss its elements (reference a work of hers), discuss the audience that finds it funny (and why) and discuss the audience that might not find it funny (and why). Use sources when referring to one of her pieces, when analyzing the audience type, and the comedy type.
