Project One:
Pelican Stores
Pelican Stores, a division of National Clothing, is a chain of women’s apparel stores operating throughout the country. The chain recently ran a promotion in which discount coupons were sent to customers of other National Clothing stores. Data collected for a sample of 100 in-store credit card transactions at Pelican Stores during one day while the promotion was running are contained in the DATAfile named PelicanStores. The Proprietary Card method of payment refers to charges made using a National Clothing charge card. Customers who made a purchase using a discount coupon are referred to as promotional customers, and customers who made a purchase but did not use a discount coupon are referred to as regular customers. Because the promotional coupons were not sent to regular Pelican Stores customers, management considers the sales made to people presenting the promotional coupons as sales it would not otherwise make. Of course, Pelican also hopes that the promotional customers will continue to shop at its stores.
Most of the variables shown in the data file “Pelican Store” are self-explanatory, but two of the variables require some clarification.
Items The total number of items purchased
Net Sales The total amount ($) charged to the credit card
Pelican’s management would like to use this sample data to learn about its customer base and to evaluate the promotion involving discount coupons.
Managerial Report
Use the tabular and graphical methods of descriptive statistics to help management develop a customer profile and to evaluate the promotional campaign. At a minimum, your report should include the following:
Percent frequency distribution for key variables.
A bar chart or pie chart showing the number of customer purchases attributable to the method of payment.
A cross tabulation of type of customer (regular or promotional) versus net sales. Comment on any similarities or differences present.
A scatter diagram to explore the relationship between net sales and customer age.
Descriptive statistics on net sales and descriptive statistics on net sales by various classifications of customers.
Provide a five-number summary and show the box plot for the net sales.
Descriptive statistics concerning the relationship between age and net sales.

How will you handle a spill or mess that happens in your classroom?
It is so important to keep any cleaning materials out of the reach of children.
While most household cleaners are relatively non-hazardous, extra caution is needed in the classroom, especially in elementary schools. Students should hardly be exposed to cleaning agents and chemicals; moreover, students should never be asked to use hazardous items in the classroom without proper instruction. Specialized personnel should be responsible for all cleanups following the school’s outlined safety policy rules.
How will you handle a spill or mess that happens in your classroom?
demonstrate your understanding of one of the central debates in epistemology or the philosophy of mind and to support your position on this issue.
You are to write an essay explaining and evaluating one of the major positions discussed in Lessons 2-4. The purpose of this assignment is for you to demonstrate your understanding of one of the central debates in epistemology or the philosophy of mind and to support your position on this issue.
Your essay must be 3-4 pages, double-spaced, in 12-point font.
I will be evaluating your essay based on the following criteria.
Regarding your content development, you will be graded based on the quality of your writing. I expect you to start with an introduction that motivates the project and plainly states your thesis and finish with a conclusion that both summarizes your evaluation of the position clearly and explores implications or limitations of your assessment. In addition, your essay must have a clear and logical organizational plan as well, with ideas, sentences, and paragraphs building naturally in support of your thesis. To accomplish this, you must make sure your organizational plan would be obvious to the reader, and you must use transitional words, phrases, and sentences to show how your sentences and paragraphs relate to each other and to your thesis.
To demonstrate your mastery of the relevant conventions of philosophical writing, you will need to provide a clear and complete explanation of the position you are discussing. In addition, you will also need to provide a clear and complete explanation of the relevant alternative views discussed in the lesson and draw a clear contrast between all of these views.
To demonstrate your understanding of the context and purpose of this assignment, you should provide a clear example that illustrates to the reader the relevance of this debate to our lives. Your example needs to be realistic, and you need to come up with it on your own. You will also need to explain how the example illustrates the position under discussion.
Concerning the appropriate use of sources and evidence, I expect you to explain and evaluate the relevant arguments or considerations from the lessons both for and against the position under discussion, in detail and with clarity. In your evaluation of each argument, you will need to explain whether the premises are true, whether the reasoning is valid, and why you think so. Further, you will need to consider and assess at least one possible objection to each argument and then provide a sufficiently compelling overall evaluation of the argument in light of this objection.
Finally, to demonstrate your control of syntax and mechanics, I expect you to skillfully communicate your meaning to the reader with clarity and virtually no grammatical mistakes. Overall, your essay must be clear, with well-developed paragraphs, complete and grammatical sentences, and words chosen for their precise meanings.
