Formulate and evaluate hypothesis tests for population parameters based on sample statistics using both Critical Regions and P-Values
CompetencyFormulate and evaluate hypothesis tests for population parameters based on sample statistics using both Critical Regions and P-Values, and be able to state results in a non-technical way that can be understood by consumers of the data instead of statisticians.Student ProfileYou are a statistician working for a drug company. A few new scientists have been hired by your company. They are experts in pharmacology, but are not experts in doing statistical studies, so you will explain to them how statistical studies are done when testing two samples for the effectiveness of a new drug. The two samples can be dependent or independent, and you will explain the difference.Concept being StudiedYour focus is on hypothesis tests and confidence intervals for two populations using two samples, some of which are independent and some of which are dependent. These concepts are an extension of hypothesis testing and confidence intervals which use statistics from one sample to make conclusions about population parameters.What to SubmitYour research and analysis should be presented on the Word document provided. All calculations should be provided on a separate Excel workbook that should be submitted to your boss as well.

Why is this agent efficacious against this particular organism ?
I need a well put together Paper about the topic Streptococcus pyogenes This is a Microbiology report,I have attached the outline to help stay organized and the grading rubric that we will be using.A little bit of information:Microorganism ProfileIntroductionThis project requires the ability to understand and apply scientific knowledge that you acquire both inside and outside the microbiology classroom. You will construct a comprehensive profile of a microorganism that you are assigned by the instructor. This microorganism is a pathogen that you may encounter in your nursing career. All written answers are expected to meet accepted standards for grammar, syntax, and punctuation and follow APA format. Proper microbiology terminology is also expected. The completed APA paper is to be submitted electronically via the Assignment Drop Box in Canvas. Total APA paper should be between 5 to 7 pages including a title and reference page.The Big PictureAs you progress through this course, you will acquire information in a sequential, topic-specific manner. Each topic will include information that is relevant to this assignment. For example, the knowledge you gain from the lesson on bacterial cell morphology will be applied to the first paragraph topic, Cell Morphology and Growth Requirements. Your answers are expected to include information from sources that go beyond the textbook or classroom. Examples include peer-reviewed journal articles, interviews with clinicians who deal with microbes on a daily basis, personal experiences, and other reputable sources. You are expected to clearly understand the meaning of each topic before you construct your answer. For example, you are expected to know the meaning of epidemiology and to understand the topics that are connected to it. Dont forget to read and understand the rubric before you start. Refer to it often it will help guide you through the process.Name of Microorganism: ________________________________________________________1. Description of the Microorganism (week 1)Write a paragraph describing your organism. Please be sure to include the type of organism (bacterial, viral, fungal, protozoa, helminth, etc), morphology (shape, arrangement , colony morphology if applicable), description of structure (gram result, type of nucleic acid or virion structure, spore type, etc if applicable) and also the type of microscope and/or stain you would use to view the organism. Please use proper scientific terminology and good grammar and sentence structure throughout this project.2. Virulence FactorsInclude a paragraph on the virulence factors the pathogen has and how they affect the host. Please enhance this with detailed explanations of the virulence factors and how they affect the host as you gain a better understanding of them throughout the semester.3.

If so, which one(s)?4. Pathology (Infectious Disease Information)What condition(s) or infectious disease(s) does it cause?Which tissues or organs are affected, and how are they affected (for example, chronic TB is characterized by lung tubercles)?Describe the complications that can result if the infection is left untreated.Are these acute, chronic, or latent infections?What organ system(s) does it infect?Is it an opportunistic pathogen? If so, where is it normally found in the body?5. EpidemiologyDraw and label a diagram on how this organism is transmitted. Make sure you include the reservoirs of infection, any vectors if involved in transmission, the type of transmission, and portals of entry and exit.6.

Which leadership practice is reflected in the article? Was it the best practice for this event?
The idea of leadership and the word leader has been used in political and business scholarship to denote both those in formal power positions (i.e., king, head of state, president, CEO), as well as those entrusted with the leadership of organizations, communities, and societies (i.e., boards of governors, citizen leaders, managers). In modern business organizations, a distinction can also be made between those in formal power, who are leaders in title, and those employees and managers at all levels who share and practice the behaviors of leadership.Kouzes and Posner (2017) describe the five practices of exemplary leadership that research suggests can be learned:Model the WayInspire a Shared VisionChallenge the ProcessEnable Others to ActEncourage the HeartResearch a current event that demonstrates one or more of the above. You can use the Internet, electronic news agencies, or journals to research a current event that should be less than three (3) years old. In your post, include the following:A summary of the event (one paragraph).Which leadership practice is reflected in the article? Was it the best practice for this event?Put yourself in the event as the leader, which leadership practice would you have used? Why?
