I have attached the case studies below. 

Using the data you collected for the Week 5 Lab (heights of 10 different people that you work with plus the 10 heights provided by your instructor), discuss your method of collection for the values that you are using in your study (systematic, convenience, cluster, stratified, simple random). What are some faults with this type of data collection? What other types of data collection could you have used, and how might this have affected your study?

Step 1: Find these articles in the Chamberlain Library. Once you click each link, you will be logged into the Library and then click on “PDF Full Text”.First Article: Confidence Intervals, Part 1 Links to an external site.Second Article: Confidence Intervals, Part 2 Links to an external site.Step 2: Consider the use of confidence intervals in health sciences with these articles as inspiration and insights.Step 3: Using the data you collected for the Week 5 Lab (heights of 10 different people that you work with plus the 10 heights provided by your instructor), discuss your method of collection for the values that you are using in your study (systematic, convenience, cluster, stratified, simple random). What are some faults with this type of data collection? What other types of data collection could you have used, and how might this have affected your study?Step 4: Now use the Week 6 Spreadsheet to help you with calculations for the following questions/statements.a) Give a point estimate (mean) for the average height of all people at the place where you work. Start by putting the 20 heights you are working with into the blue Data column of the spreadsheet. What is your point estimate, and what does this mean?b) Find a 95% confidence interval for the true mean height of all the people at your place of work. What      is the interval? [see screenshot below]d) Post a screenshot of your work from the t value Confidence Interval for µ from the Confidence                  Interval tab on the Week 6 Excel spreadsheetStep 5: Now, change your confidence level to 99% for the same data, and post a screenshot of this table, as well.Step 6: Compare the margins of error from the two screenshots. Would the margin of error be larger or smaller for the 99% CI? Explain your reasoning. 

Choose to answer at least 3 of the guiding questions below. 1. Have you or someone close to you ever struggled to put food on the table? How do/did you deal with that? 2. Where did you turn for help? What did you learn from the film that you didn’t know already?

Hide Assignment Information Instructions In your reflection (200-300 words), please include the following components: 1. Choose to answer at least 3 of the guiding questions below. 1. Have you or someone close to you ever struggled to put food on the table? How do/did you deal with that? 2. Where did you turn for help? What did you learn from the film that you didn’t know already? Has it changed your perspective in any way? If so, how? 3. Barbie Izquierdo says that she grew up without enough food: “All my life I know what it’s like to eat Oodles of Noodles seven days a week, three, four times a day cause that’s all we had . . . When I had my children I said I would never, ever let them taste it . . . but life brings you situations . . . it’s up to you to be able to deal with it.” How do you think food security is related to the cyclical nature of poverty? In what ways do you think Barbie’s childhood of insufficient food affected her ability to provide healthy food options for her own children? 4. Rhee explains that she has to drive 45 minutes from her small town in Mississippi to reach a fully stocked grocery store, and Barbie has to travel over an hour each way on a bus. How far do you have to travel to reach a grocery store? How do you think proximity changes eating choices and behaviors? 5. One in three children born in the year 2000 will develop Type 2 diabetes. What are some of the factors shown in the film that add to the reasons why diet-related illness is increasing in young people at such an unprecedented level? What are some potential solutions to help slow down the rampant numbers of childhood diabetes? 6. Dr. Booker explains that diseases like high blood pressure and diabetes, which are exacerbated by obesity, are a growing concern among children. He sees education as the only solution and that it needs to start “very early on.” What are some examples from the film of ways that young people are being educated in their community about the importance of eating healthy food? 7. Marion Nestle explains that “we are spending $20 billion a year on agricultural subsidies for the wrong food.” If you had $20 billion to address food production, what would you do with it? 2. Discuss at least 2 takeaway points for a public health practitioner or other health professional related to food insecurity.

Compare  the two methods of Advanced Directives, that is the State of Florida  form with either the Five Wishes or the POLST form and describe the  following: a) What are the differences between the forms? b) Why do you think that there are differences between the forms?

Assignment topic for Communication:
Under the communication topic is the idea of advanced directives. The  advance directive idea has grown from basic forms that can be found in  the state statutes to very refined documents such as Five Wishes or  POLST or MOLST. But to start this topic we can access the Florida State  statutes and see what the State of Florida has to offer as a advance  directive. Here is the direct link to the Florida State Statute 765.101 https://www.caringinfo.org/planning/advance-directives/by-state/florida/ 
 Links to an external site. 
Scroll down to “Download Florida Advance Directive” This will give  you an idea about the contents of the standard State form using the  Florida one as an example. If you list the main parts it will give you  an idea about the types of choices these forms allow for which are not  exactly detailed or extensive in content. Now if you were to open a Five  Wishes form: https://www.fivewishes.org/five-wishes-sample.pdf 
 Links to an external site. and compare to the earlier State form it becomes obvious the difference. 
As a variation on the same theme there is also the POLST form which  also gives several choices as a type of advance directive form. This  will be our discussion for the communication module.
Assignment: Compare  the two methods of Advanced Directives, that is the State of Florida  form with either the Five Wishes or the POLST form and describe the  following:
a) What are the differences between the forms?
b) Why do you think that there are differences between the forms?
c) What is accomplished by the newer generation of advanced directive (eg. Five Wishes or POLST)?
d) Which form would you rather have as a patient? and why?

Identify an investment decision that you, someone you know, or someone fictitious has made (for example, stocks, bonds, real estate, a car, a house, a degree or certificate, et cetera): How do you think the concept of supply and demand impacted the investment decision?

 
A key concept in economics and finance is the time value of money.
Most investment decisions, like buying a house, paying for your education, or starting a business, involve making a payment up front in order to earn a return later. (You pay money out at one or more points in time and later receive your benefits based on the investment’s agreement.)
Additionally, economic factors such as supply and demand can play an important role in your investment process. If there is a huge supply of houses available in a neighborhood you like, housing prices in that neighborhood may go down due to a lack of current demand. Therefore, you as the buyer have more power and may be able to make an offer that is lower than the initial asking price.  
Alternatively, in a neighborhood that is very much in demand and low in available housing, the housing prices may be higher and you may need to offer to pay more to compete with other offers for a home there.
Decisions in investments can end in a variety of ways. Applying your problem solving skill and critical thinking strategies can help you successfully analyze opportunities to bring the best benefits for your efforts. Adjusting for the time value of money lets you calculate if the rewards are worth the wait so that you can arrive at an informed decision before you commit your money.
Initial Post: Identify an investment decision that you, someone you know, or someone fictitious has made (for example, stocks, bonds, real estate, a car, a house, a degree or certificate, et cetera):
How do you think the concept of supply and demand impacted the investment decision?
Now that you understand the time value of money, how could we use our problem solving skill (especially critical thinking strategies) to rethink the decision in the future?

The political debate over Net Neutrality has been going on for many, many years now in this country against the backdrop of freedom of information vs. censorship. What is net neutrality?”

The political debate over Net Neutrality has been going on for many, many years now in this country against the backdrop of freedom of information vs. censorship. What is net neutrality?”NET NEUTRALITY IS the idea that internet service providers like Comcast and Verizon should treat all content flowing through their cables and cell towers equally. That means they shouldn’t be able to slide some data into “fast lanes” while blocking or otherwise discriminating against other material. In other words, these companies shouldn’t be able to block you from accessing a service like Skype, or slow down Netflix or Hulu, in order to encourage you to keep your cable package or buy a different video-streaming service.” – Having net neutrality means that companies that provide internet service cannot do anything that would prioritize some information over others or censor any information. Not having net neutrality means that companies that provide internet service can control how information passes through their network, effectively giving them the power to censor information for their customers. Read the following list of pros and cons for net neutrality: As of 2017, the Trump administration changed the regulatory classification of the internet which effectively removed all net neutrality protection at the federal level. It’s now up to the states as to whether or not to create net neutrality rules. Currently Georgia only has legislation preventing the state from entering into contracts with companies that can’t certify their net neutrality. There is no other legislative protections. Find one of your Georgia state government representatives: Write a letter either:Expressing your support for net neutrality and encouraging new legislation that would provide net neutrality protection or Expressing your opposition to net neutrality and encouraging no consideration of new legislation that would provide net neutrality protection.
