Which of the secrets do you most agree with? Explain and discuss why for each separately.

Carol Kinsey Goman, a body language expert, wrote a book titled The Nonverbal Advantage in which she discusses how nonverbal communication can build trust and credibility with customers, colleagues and clients. In the below video clip about her book, she discusses four secrets to using body language effectively (i.e., the gaze, the head tilt, body orientation, and mirroring). After watching the video, answer the below questions.

1. Consider the four secrets.

a. Which of the secrets do you most agree with? Explain and discuss why for each separately. [up to 25 points possible]

b. Which of the secrets do you particularly not agree with? Explain and discuss why for each separately. [up to 25 points possible]

*Note: If you strongly agree with all of the secrets, part a will become worth up to 50 points since there would be nothing to address in part b.

A Maytag dishwasher has a mean life of 12 years with an estimated standard deviation of 1.25 years. Assume the life of a dishwasher is normally distributed.

A Maytag dishwasher has a mean life of 12 years with an estimated standard deviation of 1.25 years.  Assume the life of a dishwasher is normally distributed.

(a) What is the random variable?

(b) Find the probability that a dishwasher will last more than 15 years.

(c) Find the probability that a dishwasher will last less than 6 years.

(d) Find the probability that a dishwasher will last between 8 and 10 years.

(e) If you found a dishwasher that lasted less than 6 years, would you think that you have a problem with the manufacturing process?   Why or why not?

(f) Maytag only wants to replace free of charge 5% of all dishwashers.  How long should the manufacturer make the warranty period?

Continuing with this problem, suppose now a sample of 10 dishwashers are chosen from the above normal distribution.

(g) Describe the distribution of the sample means: What is its shape? What is its mean? What is its standard deviation?

(h) Find the probability that the sample mean of the dishwashers is less than 6 years.

(i) If you found the sample mean life of the 10 dishwashers to be less than 6 years, would you think that you have a problem with the manufacturing process?   Why or why not?

According to a recent study the mean blood pressure for people in China is 128 mmHg with a standard deviation of 23 mmHg. Assume that blood pressure is normally distributed.

According to a recent study the mean blood pressure for people in China is 128 mmHg with a standard deviation of 23 mmHg.  Assume that blood pressure is normally distributed.

(a) What is the random variable?

(b) Find the probability that a person in China has blood pressure of 140 mmHg or more.

(c) Find the probability that a person in China has blood pressure of 135 mmHg or less.

(d) Is it unusual for a person in China to have a blood pressure of 135 mmHg or less?  Why or why not?

(e) Find the probability that a person in China has blood pressure between 120 and 125 mmHg.

(f) What is the 90^th percentile blood pressure for the people in China? (That is, what is the blood pressure which 90 percent of the people have less than?

Continuing with this problem, suppose now a sample of 15 people are chosen from the above normal distribution and we are interested in the mean blood pressure of such a sample.

(g) Describe the distribution of the sample means: What is its shape? What is its mean? What is its standard deviation?

(h) Find the probability that the sample mean blood pressure of 15 people in China is 140 mmHg or more.

(i) Would it be unusual to find a sample mean blood pressure of 15 people in China of 140 mmHg or more?  Why or why not?

Find the z-score corresponding to the given area. Remember, z is distributed as the standard normal distribution with mean of μ = 0 and standard deviation σ = 1.

Find the z-score corresponding to the given area.  Remember, z is distributed as the standard normal distribution with mean of μ = 0 and standard deviation σ = 1.

(a) The area to the left of z is 25%.

(b) The area to the right of z is 65%.

(c) The area to the left of z is 10%.

(d) The area to the right of z is 5%.

(e) Find the value for z such that the area between –z and z is 95%. (Hint: Drawing a picture might help.)

(f) Find the value for z such that the area between –z and z is 99%. (Hint: Drawing a picture might help.)

A system is defined by y[n] = nx[n +1] Is it causal?

A system is defined by y[n] = nx[n +1] Is it causal? Linear? Time-invariant? Prove your answers.

Research the Flexner Report.

Research the Flexner Report. How did this report transform medical school in the early
1900s, and how did existing medical schools respond? How did the change in curriculum
requirements affect the profession of medicine?

The commuter trains on the Red Line for the Regional Transit Authority (RTA) in Cleveland, OH, have a waiting time during peak rush hour periods of twelve (12) minutes.

(a) What is the random variable?

(b) Find the height of this uniform distribution.

(c) Find the probability of waiting between four and five minutes.

(d) Find the probability of waiting between three and eight minutes.

(e) Find the probability of waiting five minutes exactly.

You may choose to reply to either (Hemant Rao) post or (Anaelys Reyna).

Identify and describe one practice-related issue or concern.

• Identify and describe one practice-related issue or concern. You may choose to build on the practice issue you identified earlier. The Area of Interest previously chosen was Symptom Management. however, you may choose a different area if you wish.
• Explain why the issue/concern is important to nurse practitioner practice and its impact on health outcomes.
• Describe each element of your PICOT question in one or two sentences, being sure to address all of the following:
  • P-Population and problem– What is the nursing practice concern or problem and whom does it affect?
  • I–Intervention– What evidence-based solution for the problem would you like to apply?
  • C–Comparison– What is another solution for the problem? Note that this is typically the current practice, no intervention at all, or alternative solutions.
  • O–Outcome– Very specifically, how will you know that the intervention worked? Think about how you will measure the outcome.
  • T–Time frame– What is the Timeframe involved for the EBP initiative or the target date of completion?
• Construct your PICOT question in the standard PICOT question format (narrative) and define each letter separately, such as:
  • P =
  • I =
  • C =
  • O =
  • T =
  • PICOT question written in full =
  • Use APA formatting guidelines for references and citations. Submit your worksheet using the PICOT Worksheet Template as a Word document
