The differences between dispersion and deviation

Posted on | by

• Explain the differences between dispersion and deviation and discuss how they compare to measures of central tendency.
• Define standard deviation, index of dispersion, and range. Discuss why they are not as clear as measures of central tendency.
• For the variables Home (p. 89), Arrest (p. 107), Education (p. 101), identify the correct measure of dispersion (standard deviation, index of dispersion, or range) for each variable and explain why it is appropriate. Report the values for the measure of dispersion for each variable.

 

Control Variables

Posted on | by

What colored bands (in order, bottom to top) did you find in your leaves? Did your “non-green” leaves still contain chlorophyll, or did they rely on other pigments entirely? If you had two different colored leaves from the same plant, do your results show you which pigments caused the difference?
2. Control Variables
Which control variables did you choose for these experiments? Reply to your classmates and discuss whether some of these are things that would be “coincidentally the same” versus ones that “you take deliberate action to keep the same.”
3. Problems You Solved (Or Didn’t)
What problems did you encounter during these experiments and how did you solve them? If you didn’t come up with a solution, what seemed to be blocking you?

Advantages, pitfalls, unexpected issues in teleworking.

Imagine that you are working for a department within a large company. The manager of your department is considering allowing workers in your department
to telework, in other words, to work from home.

productive because they will be working from home and not supervised. She also considers the possibility that workers will become more productive
because they won’t have to worry about traffic and parking. They won’t have to take large amounts of time off to get children to a doctor’s appointment, to

Other questions abound in her mind. For example, how many days a week should the workers be allowed to telework? Should they be limited to one day? Two
days? Or should they be unlimited to telework as many days as they would like per week?
In addition, she is not sure if everyone should be allowed to telework or if perhaps only people in certain positions should be allowed to telework. For…

 

 

 

Cyberattacks against major businesses

Posted on | by

 

Cyberattacks against major businesses, colleges, and the federal government have dramatically increased in recent years. In most cases, the cyberattack ended in massive breaches and leaks of personal information. Here are a few examples for you to review:

Here’s What Happened to Your Target Data That Was Hacked
Home Depot Hackers Exposed 53 Million Email Addresses
U of Nebraska Data Breach Affects 650,000 Students
Cybersecurity Resource Center
In each of these cases, the organization noted possible causes for its security breach. For your main post, select one of these examples, or find an example of your own noting the same type of security breach, and identify the most probable cause in security that allowed the breach. If you choose a different example, be sure you provide a link to the story at the end of your initial post.

Identify the theories you selected
Explain why you are drawn to these theories.
In a practical/concrete way, discuss how they will inform your decisions as you design your online course.
How might these theories help you to quickly adapt your curriculum to current events (e.g. the pandemic) or changes in the health care system?
