What is the approximate P-value?

Young men in North America and Europe (but not in Asia) tend to think they need more muscle to be attractive. One study presented 200 young American men with 100 images of men with various levels of muscle. Researchers measure level of muscle in kilograms per square meter (kg/m2) of fat-free body mass. Typical young men have about 20 kg/m2. Each subject chose two images, one that represented his own level of body muscle and one that he thought represented “what women prefer.” The mean gap between self-image and “what women prefer” was 2.35 kg/m2. Suppose that the “muscle gap” in the population of all young men has a Normal distribution with standard deviation 2.5 kg/m2.

What is the approximate P-value?

What can be done to prevent the ISIS and other radical groups from recruiting new members?

What criteria should be present in order for a group to be considered a “hate” group or a terrorist organization? Is it proper to label a group as a “hate” group simply because its members advocate a political opinion? What if the group does not itself engage in violence but supports another that does through fund-raising or recruiting?

In your classroom reading this week, you learned that the FBI considers the Animal Liberation Front (ALF) to be a domestic terror organization. Do you agree with this assessment? Why or why not? In order to discuss this question, you will need to research the ALF’s activities as well as the FBI’s position.

Recent years have seen a rise in domestic terror incidents. Fortunately, many of them have been interrupted before any damage was done, such as the attempted bombing in New York’s Times Square. These incidents have brought attention to the difficulty of identifying potential individual terrorists. Most recently, a group known as the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) has been recruiting individuals from western countries, including the United States, to join their fight. Officials are concerned that in addition to recruiting people to travel to the Middle East to join their fight, ISIS might be persuading Americans to commit acts of terror at home.

For this final part of the week’s discussion, examine the methods that ISIS uses to gain new recruits. Are any particular people more vulnerable to being recruited? Why do people living comfortable, safe lives in America and other western countries volunteer to give up those comforts in order to travel to Syria to fight for this group? What can be done to prevent the ISIS and other radical groups from recruiting new members?

Describe and discuss the allegations and resolutions of the cases.

Question 1

Access the EEOC website (www.eeoc.gov) . Document a lawsuit that involved particularly egregious actions but that likely did not receive any significant media attention. What happened? Describe the allegations and resolutions of the cases. Describe and discuss the allegations and resolutions of the cases.

Your response must be at least 200 words in length. You are required to use at least your textbook as source material for your response. All sources used, including the textbook, must be referenced; paraphrased and quoted material must have accompanying citations.

Question 2

Many of the EEOC cases presented in this unit are egregious, offensive, and obviously illegal. Choose a case from the unit (SEE ATTACHMENT), and provide a brief summary of it. Discuss the organizational factors (culture, lack of training, communication styles, organizational structure, job design, leadership, power, historical context, retaliation, etc) that existed at the time of the case that would allow such practices to happen and, in some cases, to persist for extended periods. In multiple cases, more than one person was involved (HR, assistant manager, manager, district, or area manager). Discuss why no one in the management chain intervened. Support your answer.

Question 3

Describe the procedures required to file a discrimination lawsuit under the disparate impact and disparate treatment theories. How is adverse impact determined? Provide a scenario illustrating evidence of adverse impact in an employment decision.

Your response must be at least 300 words in length. You are required to use at least your textbook as source material for your response. All sources used, including the textbook, must be referenced; paraphrased and quoted material must have accompanying citations.

Question 4

Based on your reading of the major EEO laws, discuss ways to minimize the likelihood of discrimination and maximize the benefits of diversity in the workplace.

Examine the manner in which your chosen country’s criminal code would likely view the crime you witnessed

Assignment 2 international crime witness, part 1

Use the Internet to research criminal proceedings in one (1) of the six (6) model countries from the textbook. Imagine you are traveling abroad in your chosen country when you witness a local national committing a violent assault. The criminal is arrested and charged by the police.

Upon returning to the United States, a professor in one of your criminal justice classes asks you to complete a written report on your experience.

Write a three to five (3-5) page paper in which you:

1. Determine the pertinent demographic, social, political, and economic factors about your chosen country.

2. Examine the manner in which your chosen country’s criminal code would likely view the crime you witnessed. Provide a rationale for the response.

3. Choose two (2) individual rights that the United States grants criminal suspects, such as search and seizure, right to counsel, etc., and analyze the country’s perspective on each right. Provide support for the analysis.

4. Investigate the manner in which the police in your chosen country would likely treat the defendant. Provide justification for the response.

5. Classify the fundamental similarities and differences between the police culture in your chosen country compared to the United States.

6. Use at least four (4) quality references. Note: Wikipedia and other Websites do not qualify as academic resources.

Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:

· Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.

· Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.

The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:

· Compare and contrast American perspectives on criminal law with those of other countries.

· Evaluate the nature of comparative policing and global law enforcement cooperation.

· Analyze the role of procedural law in the four (4) major legal traditions.

· Use technology and information resources to research comparative perspectives in criminal justice.

In what ways did the writers use the outlines successfully in developing the papers?

Part 1:

Read “In the Swim” on pp. 217-218 and “Two Jobs” pp. 220-221 in your Student’s Book of College English,
Look particularly at the relations between the outlines presented and the essays themselves.
In 3-5 sentences, answer the following questions: In what ways did the writers use the outlines successfully in developing the papers? What suggestions can you make for improving the outlines? What suggestions can you make for improving the essays?

Determine the interval for the middle 68% of your sample data and relate this to the sample standard deviation.

Discussion: application of probability

Choose one of the following two prompts to respond to. In your two follow up posts, respond at least once to each prompt option. Use the discussion topic as a place to ask questions, speculate about answers, and share insights. Be sure to embed and cite your references for any supporting images.

Option 1:

Given this data set(Link:http://snhu-media.snhu.edu/files/course_repository/undergraduate/mat/mat240/mat_240_weather_data_set.xlsx) – from the NOAA for Manchester, NH, select a random month between January 1930 and December 1957. Begin with this month and analyze the next 25 data values (i.e. 2 years and 1 month) for the variable “TPCP” (See Second Tab in Data Set for variable descriptions). For example, if May 1955 is chosen as the starting month, then the “TPCP” data would be from May 1955 through May 1957. Using Excel, StatCrunch, etc., construct a histogram to represent your sample. Report the sample mean, median, and standard deviation as a part of your discussion of skewness.

Determine the interval for the middle 68% of your sample data and relate this to the sample standard deviation.

Comment on the similarities and differences between your sample data and that of your classmates. Why are there differences if the samples are drawn from the same population?

Option 2:

Suppose a professor splits their class into two groups: students whose last names begin with A-K and students whose last names begin with L-Z. If p1 and p2 represent the proportion of students who have an iPhone by last name, would you be surprised if p1 did not exactly equal p2?

If we conclude that the first initial of a student’s last name is NOT related to whether the person owns an iPhone, what assumption are we making about the relationship between these two variables?

Test 1 Part 2 Questions

For the following questions, I expect 3 or more paragraphs for each response. Your answers should reflect awareness of the assigned reading, the instructor’s lectures, the weekly discussions and your own ideas. Remember, I expect to see your original thought. I only want you to use the sources listed above and your own ideas (I don’t want you to search for other sources).
