CASE STUDY

Dr. Antonia Natalie, Professor of Psychology at Thoreau University, wants to determine if her optional weekly Zoom lectures are having an impact on students’ grades in a graduate-level Behavioral Statistics course.

During the semester the professor records attendance for each of her ten Zoom lectures. Based on student attendance the professor creates 3 equal student groups. Group 1 (n = 50) consists of students that did not attend any Zoom Lectures. Group 2 (n = 50) consists of students that attended one to five lectures. And Group 3 (n = 50) consists of students that attended six to ten Zoom lectures.

Concerned that students that attend more Zoom lectures may also have higher Quantitative Reasoning Skills, the professor also records GRE Quantitative scores (GRE-Q) for each student.

Your job is to conduct an ANCOVA to determine if the Zoom attendance groups have significantly different final grade averages (on a 100-point scale ) in the Behavioral Statistics course, after controlling for their GRE-Q scores.

Conduct a Oneway ANOVA to determine if the three groups differ significantly on the GRE-Q measure. Report and summarize the results in correct APA style. What conclusions can you draw from these results? And do the three groups differ significantly in quantitative reasoning skills – if so, how? Is it justified to use GRE-Q as a covariate, Why?

Using the attached SPSS Data file, conduct the appropriate preliminary EDA to determine if a) the data meets the assumptions for ANCOVA (i.e., test for skewness/kurtosis), b) test for homogeneity of regression, and c) test for homogeneity of variances.

Conduct an ANCOVA in which Statistics grades (StatGrade) is the DV, Zoom group (ZGroup) is the IV, and GRE_Q is the covariate (CV). If the main effect for ZGroup is significant, conduct Bonferroni’s post hoc mean comparison tests.

In your summary:

1: State the goals of the present study

2: Write the correct Null (H0) and Alternative (H1) hypotheses

3: Report the results for the Oneway ANOVA in which Zgroup is the IV and GRE-Q is the DV.

4: Report and summarize the results for the tests for normality, homogeneity of regression slopes, and homogeneity of variances.

5: Report and summarize the results for the ANCOVA and post hoc mean comparison tests.

6: Be sure to include in your summary the conclusions and recommendation that can be drawn from the study.

7: Be sure to include the appropriate tables and figures. See my sample summary.

8: Model your summary after my sample summary.

Managerial Economics Reflection Response

Responses to classmates’ posts comprising at least 150 words supporting, challenging, clarifying, or adding to the existing information.

First:

My Managerial Economics class was eye-opening. I have a deep understanding of economics and how it applies to nursing. I learned about economic analysis, market types, and pricing elasticity. I also appreciate the game theory and its applicability to nursing. Understanding player behavior in different game scenarios has helped me make informed decisions as a nurse that benefit my patients and my company (Alam et al., 2021). I now understand how incentives and disincentives affect my decisions. I also studied how external factors affect a firm’s profitability and competitiveness. This knowledge has helped me improve my decisions and maximize advantages for my patients, organization, and myself.

This course helped me make decisions as a nurse. I use demand and elasticity to price my services. This lets me price my services competitively while making a profit. Game theory has helped me maximize patient outcomes by understanding my relationships with other healthcare practitioners. I interact with other healthcare practitioners to offer the greatest care for my patients, so this has been extremely beneficial. This training also helped me grasp healthcare economics and how they affect my daily practice. This helps me consider market forces and how they may affect my company’s performance. The education helped me as a nurse. I make decisions with limited resources in my job. This training taught me how to make market-based, economic-based decisions (Molina-Mula & Gallo-Estrada, 2020). I now understand how to evaluate costs and benefits and pricing schemes. This has enabled me to maximize benefits for my patients, the organization, and myself.

This course taught me about oligopoly and nursing. I learned that an oligopoly is a market structure where a few enterprises control prices. I now understand that my organization must perceive and comprehend the competitive climate to make the best decisions to stay competitive. This involves studying competitor strategies and how they affect the market (Alam et al., 2021). I also comprehend strategic thinking’s role in competitive advantage. This means predicting and responding to competing strategies and using the market structure and flexibility to my advantage when making judgments. The course also made me realize how important external factors are when making decisions. Understanding how external factors affect a firm’s profitability and competitiveness is now clear to me. This involves knowing how economic forces like inflation and recession affect politics and law. I also grasp how market structure and flexibility can help me make decisions. This involves understanding how different pricing methods might maximize revenues and the effects of charging different customers varying costs. This understanding has improved my nursing judgments.

Finally, understanding the economy is crucial to making the best selections. I now understand how economic factors might influence my decisions. Understanding inflation, recession, and political and legal changes are part of this. I also appreciate the need to understand the incentives and disincentives of our actions to make the best ones. This involves understanding how different pricing methods might maximize revenues and the effects of charging different customers varying costs (Ganin et al., 2020). I now understand that my organization must perceive and comprehend the competitive climate to make the best decisions to stay competitive. This involves studying competitor strategies and how they affect the market. This understanding has improved my nursing judgments.

Second:

Managerial economics is a critical aspect of any profession. As we learned in Chapter One, decision-making under scarce resources is the fundamental aspect of managerial economics. As a nurse leader, it is important to consider the various aspects that lead to making effective decisions. For instance, it is imperative to set goals and identify the constraints that could hamper the achievement of those goals. additionally, when making investment decisions, other critical elements such as the time value of money should be accounted for (Baye & Prince, 2017). Time value of money is a critical concept in economics and management, and it is one of the elements that I will ensure to focus much on as a nurse leader, especially when considering different investments to address the high cost of care.

Cost is one of the aspects that is currently focused on in healthcare. The cost of access to care and care delivery are both high (Bartsch et al., 2020). As a result, the healthcare system is seeping a lot of taxpayer money without significant changes in the quality of healthcare delivered. Drawing from the concepts of cost minimization rule and the roles managers play in the production process, I will use my knowledge and skill from this course to advance cost-effective measures in healthcare to address the issue of the high cost of care. High cost of care leads to overall low quality of life, and subsequent complications such as high mortality rates (Bartsch et al., 2020). With my knowledge of cost minimization, I am confident that I will be a positive force in the efforts to develop mitigation measures for access to high-quality and cost-effective care.

Week 6 was also fundamental in advancing my understanding of the different market structures and how firms in each structure can maximize their profits. There are three primary market structures discussed this week: the competitive, monopolistic, and monopolistically competitive markets. Compared to the other two, firms in a competitive market generate zero returns in the long term. This market structure is more hypothetical than real, considering that very limited real-life markets have all the conditions to facilitate the sustainability of a perfectly competitive market (Baye & Prince, 2017). The model of monopolistic competition suits the behavior of the United States healthcare sector. That is because, in terms of profit maximization and cost of care, firms can explore product differentiation for the services and products that customers do not bear the full costs of care.

Part 1

Instructions

  • There is growing concern about poverty and income inequality. These two concepts, however, are not the same. Income inequality deals with the percentage of income earned by the different income groups, while poverty is concerned with how difficult it is for the poor to meet basic needs. In Section 1.4, you read about deontological and consequential approaches to ethics. Using those approaches, evaluate how well free market systems versus government intervention in markets address poverty and income inequality. Include in your discussion an explanation of how people in a free market economy, acting in their own self-interest, can better those around them. Bring examples from your own experiences where your actions, though entirely self-motivated, resulted in a benefit to somebody else.Your journal entry must be at least 200 words in length. No references or citations are necessary.

English Question

Overview

Throughout the semester, we have examined the sources of our biases and learned how to identify biases in others’ writing. We have considered the purposes for different types of writing and begun to learn how to use sources in an ethical and effective manner. This assignment asks writers to put those skills together to create a useful Wikipedia article. Although you don’t have to publish your article to Wikipedia to complete this project, you are welcome to do so!

How Wikipedia is different from a college essay (from Wiki Education Foundation)

A Wikipedia page is not an argumentative essay. The final draft of your page should be

    • Fact-based, not persuasive writing. Rather than making an argument, you will be writing a description of the information about a topic, cited to reliable sources.
    • Written with a formal tone and easy-to-understand language. Wikipedia isn’t the place for you to show off your extensive vocabulary. The audience of Wikipedia is global, and people who have never heard of the topic before will be reading what you are writing. You will need to clearly convey the basics of the topic in your writing.
    • Mostly paraphrased from sources, with no large block quotes. Wikipedia’s policies state that you should try to paraphrase whenever possible. Brief quotes from sources is fine, but you should try to provide the context in your own words and only quote the truly key phrase or two from the original.

Source Requirements

    • The purpose of your Wikipedia article is to share in-depth information with readers. You do not want to provide information that others can easily find on their own – say, from a different Wikipedia page. Instead, you will present information from expensive and hard-to-access sources usually blocked by paywalls. As a Northern Virginia Community College student, you can get to those sources through the NOVA library system.
    • Because the purpose of your article is to present in-depth, reliable information with your readers, your article must cite at least five reliable sources as defined on the Wikipedia page
  • Links to an external site.. Unless stated otherwise by your instructor, all sources should be obtained through the NOVA library system.
  • Note that Wikipedia uses a complicated system of hyperlinks and footnotes (a number in the sentence, along with information about the source corresponding to that number at the “foot” or bottom of the document to show readers where information has come from. Rather than learning a new method of citation for this single assignment, writers are asked to continue using MLA guidelines for citing sources. See the MLA module in the class for further information.
