Question 4
Below you should see two downloadable files. The first is an Excel file that contains examples, hints and lots of other good things! You may even find some of the questions started for you. The second file is the "template" that you should use to submit your work. Follow the directions given in the template. In general, however, you will work inside Excel, then copy-and-paste your work into the template. You must then explain your work or otherwise justify your answers. Part 1: Normal Distributions and Birth Weights in America You should carefully work through the examples provided inside the Normal Ex worksheet in our Lab 6 Excel file (linked above or here). The examples shown are similar to your assignment. Use Excel to answer the quesitons presented in the case study Birth Weights in America, Birth Weights. Essentially, you'll use Excel functions to answer the questoins that are described in the problem. Remember that each "gestation pierod" is its own normal distribution with its own mean and standard deviation. Place your answers inside the Week 6 Lab Template (linked above or here). Part 2: Central Limit Theorem and Age Distribution in the United States Use Excel to answer the questions presented in the Age Distribution in the United States Technology problem, Age Distribution. Be sure to use the Age Dist worksheet in our Lab 6 Excel file (linked above or here) to help answer the questions. Some of the required work is already started in that worksheet. Place your answers inside the Week 6 Lab Template (linked above or here). Be sure to follow the directions given in the file. Part 3: Finding z- and t-scores for Confidence Intervals Finding appropriate z- and t-scores is important when constructing confidence intervals. Confidence intervals allow one to estimate important population parameters such as population mean, population proportion, population standard deviation, etc. We will also study how confidence intervals will let one determine how large of a sample is required in order to get within a desired error range. Thus, confidence intervals offer important real-world applications. In Part 4 of this lab (described below) you will use a population mean confidence interval to determine if the local economy is sufficient to handle a new candy-making business. Part 3, however, focuses on finding the correct z- and t-scores for a given confidence level. You should carefully follow the examples located inside the Conf Intervals worksheet in our Lab 6 Excel file (linked above or here). Then, answer the following questions. Note that these questions are also inside the worksheet. 1. Using Excel, find the z-score that corresponds to the following Confidence Levels: a. 80% b. 85% c. 92% d. 97% 2. Using Excel, find the t-score that corresponds to the following Confidence Levels and Sample Sizes: a. 95% with n = 25 b. 96% with n = 15 c. 97% with n = 21 d. 91% with n = 10 Place your answers inside the Week 6 Lab Template (linked above or here). Be sure to follow the directions given in the file. Part 4: Bob's Candies (Using Confidence Intervals to decide a course of action) This part of the lab asks you to use your work from previous labs, as well as your knowledge of confidnece intervals to decide whether or not the local economy is strong enough to support a new candy-making business. Bob enjoys making candy and some friends have encouraged him to open a candy-making business. To see if the local citizens buy enough candy, Bob gathers a sample of how much money they spend annually on the type of candy Bob will make. You will help Bob analyze this data to see if they spend more than the national average. If so, Bob thinks there will be enough demand to support his new candy-making business. The dollars spent per person is given in the Candy Business worksheet in our Lab 6 Excel file (linked above or here). After you analyze the data, answer the following questions. 1. Find the sample mean and sample standard deviation of the amount citizens spend per year. 2. When finding a confidence interval for the true mean spent of ALL citizens, should we use a z-score or a t-score? Why? 3. Find the z/t-values (as appropriate) for a 95% confidence interval and a 92% confidence interval. 4. Find a 95% and a 92% confidence interval for the true mean amount that citizens spend per year. 5. What do you think the lowest possible mean amount spent per year is? Why? 6. Do you think Bob has a good customer base for his new business? Explain.,It will be on Excel program right because last time they just sent me the answers and I had to do everything on Excel myself and I have a hard time on it
Question 5
"Your analysis should include thoughtful consideration of the MBA programme threads. You will find information and outcomes from the event in the following articles: ? Ezigbo, O. & Bassey, O. (2010) ?Oil spill?environment practitioners want compensation from shell? [Online]. Available from: http://allafrica.com/stories/201006300315.html (Accessed: 1 July 2010). In addition, be sure to incorporate ideas from the following article in your project: ? Donaldson, T. & Preston, L. (1995) ?The stakeholder theory of the corporation: concepts, evidence, and implications?, The Academy of Management Review, 20 (1), pp.65?91. In this article, the author discusses the concept of organizational stakeholders and the implications for management. Your Final Project analysis should address the following: ? Conduct research and provide a brief organisational and historical background on Shell as it relates to its operations, the extent of its globalisation, and its reputation for ethics and corporate social responsibility. ? Identify and discuss how each of the three stakeholders in this wicked problem might make sense of it in different ways. For example, an investor may see the cleanup effort as something that might impact their dividends and returns. However, that same person may also see the cleanup effort as an important fight to minimise harmful impacts on the environment. ? Discuss ways of constructing an understanding of this event that may be productive for the different stakeholders. Identify outcomes that would be reinforced or in conflict with this sense-making. ? In the context of leadership research and established leadership theories, discuss how each of the three stakeholders can have a personal impact on how the situation or problem might be addressed. Identify a way to create a shared understanding of the wicked problem. Submit approximately 2,000 words in which you: ? Identify the key issues in the situation ? Conduct research and provide organisational and historical background on Shell as it relates to its operations, the extent of its globalisation, and its reputation for ethics and corporate social responsibility. ? Research related literature on being a leader, e.g., leadership and sense-making, transactional leadership, transformational leadership, charismatic leadership and theories on gender and leadership ? Summarise and demonstrate understanding of related literature ? Assess the situation from three primary stakeholder perspectives: o The Shell CEO o A local Nigerian Shell employee o A Shell Investor ? Identify and discuss the various motivations of each of the three stakeholders in this situation. For example, an investor may be motivated by dividends and returns, but also may have personal concern for the environment. Submit approximately 4,000 words in which you address the following: ? Synthesise theories and models from the Module readings and literature (that address the issue in the situation). ? Utilise effective discussion, analysis and conclusions showing critical thinking to propose solutions and address the following questions: o Discuss how each of the three stakeholders might make sense of how the situation or problem should be addressed. How would your response or articulation of the problem vary for each of these stakeholders? o Describe, compare and contrast, and evaluate the various approaches to leadership discussed throughout the Module, as well as what you have learned about yourself to being a leader in this particular situation. Provide alternative directions for bringing resolution based on several different perspectives. ? Provide correct referencing and citation. In each submission, be sure to cite and reference examples from the Module textbook and journal articles presented in this Module as well as resources you identify from your own research. Your submissions should demonstrate critical analysis of the topic and a coherent application of related theories." Please Mention the reference wherever is possible.

Also it very important follow the outlines. ",See the below remark. because of high plagiarism I am getting F grade. I have repeatedly told to avoid plagiarism. Following a referral by the instructor, I have conducted an investigation into an alleged incident of major plagiarism in the above class. The incident details and correspondence with the student are detailed in the attached letters. My conclusion is that a major breach of the University?s Policy for dealing with Plagiarism, Collusion and the Fabrication of Data has occurred and I am therefore recommending to the Board of Examiners that this is placed on the student?s record and a Fail grade awarded for this assignment. These recommendations will be implemented immediately; however, in accordance with the University?s Policy, they will remain provisional until confirmed by the Board of Examiners.,How do I defend my self on this. guide me so that i can appeal. Attached report of turnitin.,Dear Ma'am, below response got from university and got a grade of F. The reason of the plagiarms charge is the missing or incorrect referencing. The hight turnitin match does not necearry lead to plagiarism charge if the copied material is referenced properly. However if the important bibliographilcal details are missing, the submission will be subject of plagiarms investigation. I know that you are aware of the importance of checking your work for errors and often students do not have a great deal of time to do this. As plagiarism is a serious matter, please always allow yourself time to check your work before submitting it. It is very important to make sure that your citations, quotes and references are correct and in accordance with the Harvard Referencing System. On a different note, it is also important to remember that if you are submitting a large amount of text / work that is cited and referenced, you are also unlikely to receive a good grade as the vast majority of the work must be your own. You need to be showing originality of work; so your own thoughts, opinions and ideas. Remember: Direct Quote:~ A direct quote goes in double quotation marks ??. A direct quote is used when information is taken directly from another source. You place the quote in the quotation marks ?? to show the reader that this is not your work / words. I.e. it has come from somewhere else. Paraphrase:~ Paraphrasing is a summary of information. If you have read a piece of work and you want to summarise it then this is classed as a paraphrase and therefore needs to be cited. You need to cite this work as even though you are using your own words to show your understanding of the topic, that topic or that information is originally from another source. Citation:~ A citation is a form of reference that goes next to a paraphrase or a direct quote. the aim of the citation is to show the reader that the section covers another?s work or ideas and to show who that author is. In every citation you need to put a minimum of the name of the Author and the date of publication. For citations on books and journals you will also need more information. A citation also needs to be placed against any chart, picture or piece of information you are using from another source. Please refer to the Harvard Referencing guide for full details. References:~ A reference list is created whenever you are using a direct quote or paraphrase in any piece of work. The reference list is placed at the end of your document and should contain enough information so that the reader of the document can go and find that exact piece of work you have used in your work. It is important that you give full information in the reference section and you should show the reader exactly where you got the information from, the precise location of the information (page or URL) and the date that you accessed that information. Please see the Harvard Reference System guidelines for more information and how your reference list should be formatted. It is important that this guide is followed precisely. Being able to research information, digest that information and then putting the information in your own words to answer a discussion question or assignment will show the instructor that you understand the material or concepts. Just copying and pasting large pieces of information does not show this, it purely shows that you are able to research information. Even if you cite and reference the information correctly, the instructor would be looking for some critical evaluation of the quoted text, again if it is large in size then this will reduce your grade dramatically or result in a fail. The vast majority of the words must be your own, small quotations can be used, but you should then really comment on the quotation, showing its relevance to the discussion question or assignment. Here is the link about the Harvard Referencing System, which may be of use to you: http://www.liv.ac.uk/library/ohecampus/referencing/referencing.htm. And this is a link to help interpreting turnitin: http://www.uol.ohecampus.com/handbook/turnitin/Originality_Report.pdf
