Internal Auditing In Governments Units In The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia

Write an essay evaluation of efficiency and effectiveness of Internal Auditing In Governments Units In The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

What might be the backlash of a man or woman breaking one of these display rules? How do these display rules compare to other societies and cultures? In what ways do we learn the display rules for our society? What are the implications of these display rules in our society?

Psychology discussion

1. Women in positions of power often have a difficult time knowing how they should manage their emotions. Too much emotion does not fit the stereotype of a leader, yet no emotion does not fit the stereotype of a woman, so it often feels like a lose–lose battle for women leaders. Look up two recognized leaders in the same field, such as, occupation or government level, one man and one woman, expressing emotion. Are there any articles or pieces of information regarding the reactions of the public when seeing the leader get emotional? Is this consistent with the research from the textbook? Take a look at Forbes top 10 stereotypes about powerful women. Based on this information, what advice would you give a female leader regarding emotion expression?

NOTE: Do not duplicate leaders! When a leader has been mentioned, other students’ answers to this question must use another leader.

2. Display rules are a culture’s rules for which emotions can be expressed or displayed. List American society’s general display rules for three categories: (1) everyone, (2) women, (3) men. When we think about the full spectrum of human emotion, do these rules make sense? What might be the backlash of a man or woman breaking one of these display rules? How do these display rules compare to other societies and cultures? In what ways do we learn the display rules for our society? What are the implications of these display rules in our society?

3. There are numerous pronouns aside from he/him/his and she/her/hers that people who are nonbinary use. For example, they/them/theirs or ze/hir/hir. Write a brief story that involves the use of a lot of pronouns. Write it using conventional pronouns. Then, rewrite the story using they/them/theirs as the pronouns. Was this easy or difficult and why? What is the importance of using someone’s preferred pronoun (even when they are not in the room with you), particularly if that person is nonbinary? An additional resource you may find helpful: https://uwm.edu/lgbtrc/support/gender-pronouns/Lin… to an external site.

In addition, reply/respond to at least two other student’s posts.

Overview

This assignment will allow you to practice algorithmic thinking and basic Python programming with several small-scale problems. As you solve each problem, follow the steps of algorithmic thinking as outlined below.

NOTE: you only need to provide an algorithm, flowchart and test cases for part 2 (no algorithm/flowchart/test cases are needed for part 1).

Step 1: Algorithm Description. Use an algorithm and a flow chart to develop and express your algorithm that accomplishes the given task. Remember, you have to be very explicit and clear to make sure one can actually accomplish the task following your directions. Describe the input(s), output(s) and the process of the algorithm.

Step 2: Program Code – Implementation: Implement the algorithm in Python using the basic structures we covered in class (ONLY USE CONCEPTS COVERED IN CLASS):

  • User input
  • Variables
  • Operators
  • Conditional execution
  • For/while loops
  • Data structures
  • Functions and modules
  • Pandas

Step 3: Program Testing: Create a Test Plan with two or three test cases that demonstrate your code works as intended. Explain how you used these test cases in your comments.

Step 4: Program Documentation: Be sure to comment thoroughly so that it is clear that you understand what every line of the code is intended to accomplish.

Part 1: Data Analysis and Visualization

You will work with a dataset that contains information on a coffee shop’s sales. The dataset is below. DOWNLOAD THE DATASET AS A CSV FILE ON YOUR COMPUTER FROM THE LINK BELOW AND READ IT IN PANDAS FROM THERE. DO NOT READ IT FROM THE LINK BELOW.

Dataset: https://drive.google.com/file/d/141afTVoF0J2FjpLI-VfERyJM7aWUQ8az/view?usp=sharing

Variables:

  • transaction_id – transaction id
  • transaction_date – transaction date
  • transaction_time – transaction time
  • sales_outlet_id – sales outlet (A, B, C, D, E, F or G)
  • staff_id – id of the staff member
  • customer_id – ID of the customer
  • instore_yn – whether the sale was in the store (yes or no)
  • product_id – id of the product
  • quantity – quantity purchased
  • unit_price – price per unit (item) in USD
  • promo_item_yn – whether the item was on promotion (yes or no)

Question 1.

Import the csv file in pandas and save it as a dataframe. Then, write a code that returns: (1) the first 10 and last 10 rows; and (2) the number of rows and columns in the data set. Discuss what the code shows you about the data set.

Question 2.

Write a code that returns: (1) the distribution of sales outlets (including a count of each outlet type and a bar chart); (2) the minimum and maximum transaction_id; (3) the minimum, maximum and average customer_id; and (4) the distribution of products in bought in store (yes or no) using a pie chart.

Question 3.

You discover that the variable unit_price was incorrectly recorded. Create a new variable unit_price_corrected where you add 1.50 to unit_price for the first 100 items, and you subtract 1.50 from the unit price for the remaining items in the data set. Then, calculate and compare the average of unit_price and unit_price_corrected.

Question 4.

The coffee shop’s management wants to find out which of the outlets has the highest revenue. Calculate the total revenue for each of the outlets. Remember that total revenue will be unit_price_corrected multiplied by quantity. Also, present your calculations using a line graph. Explain what you found and what the chart shows.

Question 5.

The coffee shop’s management wants to find out how the staff are doing in terms of sales. For each of the staff ids, calculate the total product units sold and the total revenue sold. Provide two bar charts (one for total product units, one for total revenue) by staff id, and interpret your findings.

Question 6.

Develop one question yourself that can be answered with the information included in this dataset. Write the code to answer the question, and include a visualization.

Question 7.

Develop one question yourself that can be answered with the information included in this dataset. Write the code to answer the question, and include a visualization.

 

Part 2

You are hired to develop an online management system for a cafe. This program will be used by the café admins and will help them manage online orders. Use a function to develop a program with the following features:

  1. Allow the café admin to enter the menu items until the user enters quit to stop. The list should include a minimum of 10 items. For example: main_categories = [Americano, Espresso, Cheese sandwich]
  2. Use the main menu list you created in step 1 to create a dictionary that should contain the price of each of the menu items with their respective cost. For example: items_price= {“Americano”: 13, “Espresso”: 9, “Cheese sandwich”:15}
  3. Use the main menu list you created in step 1 to create another dictionary that should contain the quantity of each menu item. items_quantity={“Americano”: 50, “Esspresso”: 30, “Cheese sandwich”:10}
  4. Use the main menu list you created in step 1 to create another dictionary that allows the cafe admin to record the rating received from customers on menu items. The ratings are scored on a scale from 1 to 5, with 5 indicating the maximum customer satisfaction. For example: items_rating = {“Americano”: 4, “Esspresso”: 1, “Cheese sandwich”:5}

Your function should return the following data structures separately:

  1. The dictionary that includes all entries.
  2. A list named satisfied_item, which includes the items with satisfaction of 3 or higher.
  3. A list named highprice_item, which includes the items with price above 10 .
  4. A list named few_items, which includes the items with quantity less than 5.

For part 2 only: First, create a step-by-step algorithm and a flowchart and then translate it into a fully functional and documented Python code. Follow the flowchart shape conventions from the session 3 reading, available here.

Was the hypothesis supported? How do you know? How did you make sure you measured accurately and fairly?

Lab Report 1: Scientific Method

Directions:

Use the provided guidelines to complete the scientific method lab. Upload the lab as a file when you have completed the assignment.

  1. Follow the directions specified in Lab 1 for collecting data for practicing the scientific method.
    • You will need some friends and family for this experiment.
    • You will be measuring their right-hand index fingers and comparing that length to their hand length.
    • Your measurements will be in centimeters. Find a ruler that has centimeters. You should measure to the nearest tenth of a centimeter.
    • You will have to decide how to measure the hand length and index finger for each person to make it fair.
  2. After collecting, fill in the collected data in a data table. You can use Excel or any other program, or even hand draw to complete the data filling activity.
  3. Next, you will create a line graph with the help of the collected data.
    • The hand length goes on the X-axis and index finger length on the Y-axis in the graph.
    • You can make a graph on Excel or any program that you wish, or even hand draw it and scan it in.
  4. As the last part of the activity, you will have to draw a conclusion to the above activity by answering the following questions:
    • Was the hypothesis supported? How do you know?
    • How did you make sure you measured accurately and fairly?
  5. Also, write at least five lines explaining the scientific method to complete the lab assignment.
