Compute column percentage for the table to clarify the patter of the relationship. Which gender is more likely to prefer the Democrats?

/in /by
  1. Many analysts have noted a “gender” gap in U.S. elections, with women more likely to vote for the Democratic candidate. A sample of university faculty has been asked about their political party preference. Do their responses indicate a significant relationship between gender and party preference for this group? (10 points)
Gender
Party preference Male Female Totals
Democrat 10 15 25
Republican 15 10 25
Totals 25 25 50

 

  • What is the column variable (independent variable)? What is the row variable (dependent variable)? (2 points)
  • What is the value of column marginal? (1 point)
  • In order to examine whether there is a significant relationship between gender and party preference for this group, please first state the null hypothesis and alternative hypothesis (two-tailed) (1 points)
  • Since two variables are both nominal level variables, chi-square analysis should be conducted to examine the relationship between gender and party preference. Please conduct chi-square analysis and report the findings.
  1. Construct an expected frequency table (1 points)
  2. Construct a computation table and calculate the Chi-square value (see example on lecture week 11_chi-square, page 10). (2 points)
  3. Given the alpha level you selected and degree of freedom, compare chi-square (critical) and Chi-square (obtained), make the decision and state conclusion (1 points)

Description

Please make it as much academic as you can.
1. Evaluate the differences between marine and freshwater habitats found globally in separate graphs e.g.(a graph for the Rockpools data and another for the Riverine data).
2. Discuss a range of processes that shape marine and freshwater habitats e.g.( pH, temp, dissolved oxygen and salinity) for the Rockpool’s part.
For the Riverine’s it would be ( pH, temp and dissolved oxygen).
3. Discuss the external factors that drive species adaptation and diversity within marine and freshwater habitats
4. Assess anthropogenic effects on aquatic systems and biota
5. Demonstrate the ability to plan, design and undertake fieldwork and record, analyse and evaluate field data
6. Develop identification skills for a range of marine and/or freshwater organisms.
* one more thing, please ignore any page that you find repeated in the file attached.
* there should be 9 data sets for the Rock pool (3g groups and each has 3 sites). Graph based on volume and number of species ( not individuals ).
Volume should be calculated by multiplying width by depth by length for each site.
* there should be 3 data sets for the Riverine.

2. Discuss the four areas required to have informed consent.

Please write 2-3 full pages precisely and concisely, answer these questions following the APA style format, including an introduction, headers, and a conclusion.

Demonstrate an ability to evaluate the principles of criminal law and formulate responses to various hypothetical scenarios.

/in /by

This assignment is designed to assess learning outcomes:

1. Demonstrate the ability to evaluate the theoretical principles underlying criminal law;

2. Utilise a wide range of specialist skills in order to analyse and evaluate the principles of criminal law and relevant case law as applied in practice;

3. Demonstrate an ability to evaluate the principles of criminal law and formulate responses to various hypothetical scenarios.

4. Demonstrate the ability to analyse and evaluate proposals for reform (where applicable) and to generate ideas.

This assignment is an individual assignment.

Please write an essay on the following problem-based question:

John has a very bad relationship with his neighbour Gill. John has often asked Gill not to play loud music, as this compromises his rest. Not only has Gill never fulfilled John’s request, but she’s always been quite rude and scornful to him.

One day, John sees a courier delivering Gill a brand-new stereo system, including a giant subwoofer. Gill notices John and smiles spitefully at him and says: “Party time!”. Irritated by Gill’s behaviour and afraid that the new stereo system will put an end to his sleep for good, John waits until Gill leaves to go to work and then breaks into her house carrying a big hammer. Once inside, he finds the subwoofer in Gill’s living room and smash it with multiple hits of his hammer making it completely useless.

At that point, he hears the front door opening. Gill has come back sooner than expected due to a train strike. As soon as he sees Gill on the doorstep, John runs towards the door himself to try to escape. Seeing John running towards her with a hammer in his hand, Gill pushes him with her hands on his shoulders. The push is not strong enough to injure John, but it causes him to lose his balance and accidentally trip over the steps out of the door and falls down the stairs. During the fall, he violently hits his head on one of the steps and dies instantly.

Discuss the criminal liability of John and Gill for any possible offence and any relevant legal issue, including (but not limited to) the availability of any defences. Support your analysis with adequate legal sources – cases and legislation – and academic materials – namely, books and journal articles.

What is the context of their work? Cultural? Spiritual? Political? Historical?

/in /by

Instructions

You will select one of the major, heard-of artist mentioned in the textbook as a subject for your research paper.

Step 1: Research the artist and a theme within their work

  • This paper should be more than just being “about” the artist. More than a biography.
  • Identify a theme or central idea about the artist or his/her artwork (your thesis) as it relates to a theme explored in Module 4 (Part 4 of the textbook) and then build the paper around that idea.
  • Select an artist from the list below:
    • Ana Mendieta
    • Chuck Close
    • Robert Mapplethorpe
    • Faith Ringgold
    • Kehinde Wiley
    • Carrie Mae Weems
    • Judy Chicago
    • Cindy Sherman
    • Yasumasa Morimura
    • Shirin Neshat
  • The expectation is that the research should represent information from several sources (at least four — websites will only count as sources if they are online versions of print material) and that any direct borrowing of wording from these sources will be indicated by quotation marks and listed on the works cited page.

Step 2: Write the analysis

  • Draft your thesis (remember, this is not a biography paper so your thesis needs to be about the art)
  • Research information about the artist and their background
  • Identify a common theme within the artist works
    • What is the context of their work? Cultural? Spiritual? Political? Historical?

Step 3: Before you submit… make sure that you have the following:

  • The analysis length should be a minimum of 3 pages. (Not including the Works Cited page)
  • The paper should meet normal standards for documentation (citations and works cited such as found in the Modern Language Association, 8th ed.).
    • Use MLA format (Times New Roman 12-point size font, double-spaced, appropriate in-text citations, Works Cited page, etc…)
  • At least four sources — websites will only count as sources if they are online versions of print material

  1. The items on which you scored highest and lowest.
  2. The items for which there were notable differences between your self-ratings and the average of others’ ratings.

Assignment Expectations

After you have taken the LTQ, please respond to the following requirements in a well-written, 4- to 5-page paper (not counting the title page or reference section):

  1. Discuss your scores on the LTQ, detailing what surprised you about the results, as well as what did not surprise you.
  2. Compare the scores you received from your peers to the scores you received based on your own LTQ answers. What was most different? What was similar?
