8.1 Asian Americans

Asian-Americans have recently been targets of violence and other racist attacks for the perceived role of China in the Covid Pandemic. These attacks are nothing new spanning attacks against Near East, Middle East, and Far East Asian people in military conflicts over the last 100 years. They include the Gold Rush and building of the Transcontinental Railway era, World War II (Japanese internment camps) and the Korean War conflict, the Vietnam War, the Persian Gulf War, wars in Iraq and Iran.

RESPONSES: (15 points) You will submit three paragraphs; one for each topic; the 1st topic requires a longer response than 2 &3.

Give a brief synopsis for each of the three topics. And then respond to how you feel about each topic. Have you seen or heard of these topics in your own experience?

1) Asian women and misogyny (7 pts) have been dealt a complex and difficult role in the United States. First are the earliest immigrants from times like the Gold Rush to 20th century US Military presence in their countries. This has continued influencing stereotypical behaviors today.

Data Analytics Practice With Tableau

(I) Getting Tableau Program; Download/Upload Real Business Data
a) Open the website of the real business that we are working with at: http://www.citibikenyc.com/system-data
b) View and make a note for the default system data properties the website provided
c) Download the needed data of 201501-citibike-tripdata.csv from Canvas-Assignment–Data Analytics Exercise with Tableau to a preferred folder at your local computer
d) Open Landing Page: https://sbus-vdi.montclair.edu ; select: SBUS_Lab – Go through Chrome- User Authentication with your MSU-NetID, then, Tableau app should be available
e) Upload the needed data from your local computer to Document folder at the Virtual desktop (Follow the guided directions attached below)
f) Verify if the data now can be found at the Document folder from the Virtual Lab computer
g) From Start menu, type Tableau, then you are ready to run the program

(II) Analyze the following 6 questions with Tableau worksheets respectively:
1. Create a Calculated Field named ‘Males-Females’ as a new dimension on your worksheet. (Noted: you need to filter ‘Null’ when use Gender to measure the following steps)
2. Show trips taken by males versus females during the month as a horizontal-bar table.
3. Show total hours and minutes traveled by males versus females during the month as a stacked-bar table. Customize with your preferred colors for male and female
4. Create a micro-viewable chart of total trips for the system by hour of each day over January 2015.
5. Create an animated and visualized view with hourly departures during the month in New York area. It now reflects any number of departures from each station at each time point.
6. Based on the results of Question-4 or Question-5, with open resources, analyze the reasons why there were low biking activities on Jan. 27 th, 2015?

What kind of educational environment is most conducive to student learning? What type of instructor characteristics and behaviors are conducive to student learning?

Leadership Influence on Student Motivation

The presentation needed the writer to Look for central themes that emerge from the transcripts and group them into common categories. Work the data, organize it, synthesize it, search for patterns, break it into manageable units, and decide what is important. You should be able to develop at least 3 or 4 categories as themes emerge from the data. Some themes may emerge early on.

Hint: Leadership influence on student motivation can be negative as well as positive.

The assigned transcripts include 20 student interviews (Transcripts #1-20) and 4 instructor interviews (Transcripts #21-24).

Research Question.

The central research question is: How does education leadership motivate students to put forth the required study, practice, or rehearsal required to learn effectively?

Based on the findings of the literature review, this central question is broken down into 3 topical sub-question areas:

  1. ) What kind of educational environment is most conducive to student learning?
  2. ) What type of instructor characteristics and behaviors are conducive to student learning?
  3. ) How does the perceived “power type” of a leader influence student desire to learn? (“Power type” is based on French and Raven’s five power types).

The transcripts are made up of standardized, open-ended questions, with each topical area containing several specific questions.

Assignment.

Choose one topical sub-question area (e.g. environment, instructor characteristics and behaviors, or perceived “power type,”) and study only that particular area in each transcript. (This means that you will be reading approximately 1/3 of each transcript).

Using Warshall’s algorithm, compute the reflexive-transitive closure of the relation below. Show the matrix after the reflexive closure and then after each pass of the outermost for loop that computes the transitive closure.

Using Warshall’s algorithm

1. Using Warshall’s algorithm, compute the reflexive-transitive closure of the relation below. Show the matrix after the reflexive closure and then after each pass of the outermost for loop that computes the transitive closure.
0 1 0 0 0
0 0 0 1 0
0 0 1 1 0
0 0 0 0 1
0 0 1 0 1

2. Using the matrix in the previous problem show the final result of executing Floyd’s algorithm on that matrix to produce a matrix containing path lengths.

3. Show the graph that corresponds to the matrix in the first problem assuming the rows and columns correspond to the vertices a, b, c, d and e. Show its condensation graph, renaming its vertices. Determine any topological order of that graph and create an adjacency matrix with the vertices ordered in that topological order. Finally compute the reflexive-transitive closure of that matrix. What characteristic of that matrix indicates that it defines a total order?

4. Using Floyd’s algorithm, compute the distance matrix for the weight directed graph defined by the following matrix:
[0
4 −2
2 3 6
−3 2 0

4
5 0]

Show the intermediate matrices after each iteration of the outermost loop.

BULLOCK GOLD MINING

Seth Bullock, the owner of Bullock Gold Mining, is evaluating a new gold mine in South Dakota. Dan Dority, the company’s geologist, has just finished his analysis of the mine site. He has estimated that the mine would be productive for eight years, after which the gold would be completely mined. Dan has taken an estimate of the gold deposits to Alma Garrett, the company’s financial officer. Alma has been asked by Seth to perform an analysis of the new mine and present her recommendation on whether the company should open the new mine.

Alma has used the estimates provided by Dan to determine the revenues that could be expected from the mine. She has also projected the expense of opening the mine and the annual operating expenses. If the company opens the mine, it will cost $745 million today, and it will have a cash outflow of $55 million nine years from today in costs associated with closing the mine and reclaiming the area surrounding it. The expected cash flows each year from the mine are shown in the table. Bullock Mining has a required return of 12 percent on all of its gold mines.

    Year                 Cash Flow

0                —$745,000,000

1                    127,000,000

2                   135,000,000

3                   145,000,000

4                   185,000,000

5                   225,000,000

6                    165,000,000

7                    155,000,000

8                    134,000,000

9               — 55,000,000

QUESTIONS

1. Construct a spreadsheet to calculate the payback period, internal rate of return, modified internal rate of return, and net present value of the proposed mine.

2. Based on your analysis, should the company open the mine?

3. Bonus question: Most spreadsheets do not have a built-in formula to calculate the payback period. Write a VBA script that calculates the payback period for a project.
