Below is an example of statistics being used in the “real” world.
What if I told you that drinking soda gave you a 95% increase in the chances of your big toe falling off. What would your reactions be?
Also, inclde another example similar to this one that you have seen or heard in your life.
Association: We know association does not imply causation, but what does this mean in your own words. Provide and discuss an example of two variables that are associated but not by a cause and effect relationship.

Assignment:
The assignment – there are 3 parts to the assignment. All three parts are to be submitted on the final submission date through TURNITIN and hard copy in class.
Part 1:
Keep a brief reflective journal honestly signalling your experiences during the Creative Skills module. This journal will aim to show the student’s experiences, their learning and any insights that the student experienced during the module. The journal can include any strengths, challenges or lessons taken from the creative classes. It should contain students’ reflections on the effect that the creative processes may have had for them in their professional capacity within social care
Please include six entries in your submission.
Percentage Weighting: 20%
Part 2:
Design a workshop for a social care setting of your choice detailing at least TWO creative arts activities e.g. Children’s residential, Day care for people with Intellectual disability, Third Age community (elderly groups). Take into consideration Group work theory when developing the plan i.e. Kurland, (2001) Malekoff (2015)
The plan should be typed under the following headings.
The workshop should include:
Pre-Planning:

activities. The TWO creative arts chosen must be detailed with regard to their theoretical
relevance and benefits in a social care setting.

You will be applying what you have learned in this course by gathering data and running a statistical analysis.
To study about the relationship between height and the weight, you need to collect a sample of nine (9) people using a systematic sampling method.
What is the population of people?
Where and how are you going to collect your sample?
Does your sample accurately represent your population? Why or why not?
Collect the sample and record the data.
(CLO 1) Construct a confidence interval to estimate the mean height and the mean weight by completing the following:
Find the sample mean and the sample standard deviation of the height.
Find the sample mean and the sample standard deviation of the weight.
Construct and interpret a confidence interval to estimate the mean height.
Construct and interpret a confidence interval to estimate the mean weight.
(CLO 2) Test a claim that the mean height of people you know is not equal to 64 inches using the p-value method or the traditional method by completing the following:
State H0 and H1.
Find the p value or critical value(s).
Draw a conclusion in context of the situation.
(CLO 3) Create a scatterplot with the height on the x-axis and the weight on the y-axis. Find the correlation coefficient between the height and the weight. What does the correlation coefficient tell you about your data? Construct the equation of the regression line and use it to predict the weight of a person who is 68 inches tall.
Write a paragraph or two about what you have learned from this process. When you read, see, or hear a statistic in the future, what skills will you apply to know whether you can trust the result?
Overview: Data visualization turns complex data into palatable material for the audience. Visualizations make it easier for people to recognize patterns and find
exceptions while interpreting the data at a faster pace. In this module, you were presented some different cues that make up the representation of data, which
can be obvious or subtle. To begin this assignment, review the Audience Specific Visualizations assignment results from Module Four. Use the same data set and
graphics for each of the three audience types as the starting point; select two of the three audiences and create a set of different visualizations based on
position, shapes, and color changes.
Prompt: Using the data set you chose in the Module Four exercise, select the graphics from two of the audiences. For each of the graphics, create three new
visualizations to include examples of the following visual cues. Provide a written analysis of the benefits and detriments of the visualizations based on the cues
utilized:
1. Position
2. Shapes
3. Color
Include the following critical elements:
Cue: Position
o Using the available data and tools, create the plots, graphs, etc. create a new visualization using a position cue that are appropriate for both of
the intended audiences and employed in a way that meets basic audience needs.
Cue: Shapes
o Using the available data and tools, create the plots, graphs, etc. create a new visualization using a shape cue that are appropriate for both of the
intended audiences and employed in a way that meets basic audience needs.
Cue: Color
o Using the available data and tools, create the plots, graphs, etc. create a new visualization using a color cue that are appropriate for both of the
intended audiences and employed in a way that meets basic audience needs.
Cues
o Explain why the cues of position, shapes, and color were selected for each of the new visualizations.
Data Visualization Methods
o Explain how each visual’s meaning changed for each audience from the original visual based how on the cues changed.
Rubric
Guidelines for Submission: Submit a Microsoft Word document including your written description and screenshots of your original two visualizations from
Module Four and the three new visualizations for each of the original visualizations (a total of six new visualizations is expected).
The vice-president of administration at your company wonders whether employees are taking adequate amounts of vacation time. Employee burnout is a concern. Research suggests that an employee taking less than 1.4 weeks of vacation annually is very likely to experience burnout. You are asked to analyze the employee vacation data and conduct a hypothesis test with the following results:
t = 2.93
p = 0.0084
1- What factors should the vice-president consider in determining the presence of employee burnout?
2- Do employees take more than 1.4 weeks of vacation?
3- What reasons should the vice-president provide to the president to justify the recommendation on employee burnout?
4- Based on the data, is the presence of employee burnout an issue that may negatively impact the company?
This assignment contains two datasets, one in an Excel file and the other in an SPSS data file, both containing the same data. The dataset contains three variables: age measured in years, engagement (average score of a survey on a five-point Likert scale), and extroversion (average score of a survey on a five-point Likert scale). The higher the Likert scale numbers, the more engaged and/or extroverted the person is. Once you have completed your analysis, please upload your manuscript with narrative explanations of the findings, the Excel file containing the results of your analysis, and the SPSS output file also providing the results of your analysis.
In this assignment, please calculate the following in both Excel and SPSS:
Calculate descriptive statistics for each of the three variables:
Mean, median, mode, standard deviation and interpret them in narrative form.
Pearson Product Moment Correlations between all three variables. Interpret these findings.
For this assignment, upload three files: the narrative, the Excel file, and the SPSS output file.
References: Include a minimum of 6 resources (remember that software used to generate research findings are considered to be resources)
This research study will seek to address the following research question:
“Is there a relationship between school leadership and student academic achievement as measured by standardized test and graduation rates?
Please address the following two questions:
1. Data Collection – describe the methodology chosen to address the research question.
2. Data Analysis – describe three statistical test that would be used in this analysis.
