Chapter 7
Become a Fair food activist means we need to shift from conscious consumers to engaged
citizens. The ways to become a Fair food activist are following: To eat seasonally, shop locally,
organic, free-range, grass-fed beef, buying clubs, and community gardens. Eat food seasonally
can decrease the number of miles that food is transported. Freezing and hoop houses are ways to
extend the season for eating locally. Organic food is the foods grow in a standard environment.
Free-range means that chickens have access to the outside, but this requirement only pertains to
chickens raised for meat. Grass- fed beef means the cows are fed only grass and forage for their
entire life, it is better than fed them grain. Buying club is a organized group of people that buying
lots of things directly from producer. Community gardens a piece of land gardened by a group of
people. It decrease family food budgets, promotes good nutrition and physical exercise, and get
close to fresh foods.
A buying club is organized group of people who purchase in bulk directly from the producer.
They share the savings that come from more favorable pricing and shipping fees among the
members of the club.
Chapter 8
The institution include restaurant, public schools and universities, health care institutions. For
school, schools can make good food such as transform food options for children in urban
schools, Connects educational institutions with local farmers, and also Recruits young adults for
a yearlong term of public service in school food systems. For Health Care Institutions, they can
make a difference, such like health care without harm, or healthy food in health care. For
example, hospitals account for $12 billion of annual purchasing power for foods, it could make a
difference if health care institutions shifted to healthier food options.

1. According to the BMI chart, the reference BMI for 19-30 years old is 21.5 which refers to 64 inches height
and 126 pounds weight. Tonya is 66 inches and only weight 107 pounds. Therefore she is underweight.
2. Tonya’s body fat is approximately 18% which is in the range between healthy and unhealthy but tend to be
more unhealthy.
3. There are lots of reasons that can cause not ovulating. According to the paragraph, it says Tonya has
experiencing a four year amenorrhea, which means hormonal problems could be one reason. Another main
reason could be Tonya’s low weight she kept for four years. Also, Tonya’s daily caffeine intake may be high
enough to influence her body’s ovulating. Or maybe she does not watch her diet, for example she drinks
alcohol a lot. Even exercises little can affect her body too.
4. According to the text book, “weight loss that exceeds approximately 10-15% of usual weight decrease
estrogen, LH, and FSH concentrations”. Therefore Tonya’s average estrogen level would likely to drop to
abnormal range.
5. The reason I can consider is even if Clomid or another ovulation inducing drug may have a fast effect to
Tonya’s body. Taking drug is the short term solution. Being healthy with a normal BMI and body fat is the
long term plan. Another reason could be the side effect of the drugs if she take the pills which can affect
her health. Therefore for her own health, she chooses the gain weight rather than take pills.

NUTRITION 2200 Milk REPORT
Yulei Qian
Thursday 5-8 P.M. GA: Joseph Gast & Daniel Prenatt
Lab was performed in 10/26/2016
Purpose
This experiment is called Milk. And this experiment has multiple purpose. Basically is to
compare different type of milk’s appearance, consistency, flavor, aroma and composition of
various commercial milk products in first step. The second purpose is to test the effect that
heat or acid change whole milks’ condition. The next purpose is to test various flour may have
influence on consistency of white sauce. Also, to gain some experiences of preparation of white
sauce and milk foams, and to compare the ease of preparation, stability and characteristics of
various milk foam. To investigate the effect of temperature on the preparation of whipped
cream, prepared butter from whipping cream and vanilla pudding, and compare whole milk and
non-dairy milk substitute which made pudding.
Methodology
There are five components of this experiment. The first one is called “Milk products”, which
is test the appearance, consistency, flavor, aroma and composition of various commercial milk
products. The second one is called the “coagulation of fresh milk”, which is test the effect of
heat and acid that may influence milk coagulation. For the heat one, students just heat the
125ml of whole milk in saucepan and see if a thick skin would appear when heating some time.
And for the acid one, students just add 5ml vinegar once at time and each time test the PH
value for the new solution. The third one is called “basic white sauce”, which is to test various
flour may have influence on consistency of white sauce. The fourth one is to make vanilla
pudding using different types of milk such like whole milk or reconstituted dry dairy or yogurt.
The last one is to make milk foams in different conditions such like in cold bowl, warm bowl,
evaporated milk, reconstituted non-fat milk, and butter milk.

2. Coagulation of fresh milk
For the heat one, milk component involved in the film on the milk surface is whey, and milk
component involved in precipitation on the bottom of the saucepan is milk’s calcium
phosphate. Milk component involved in the browning on the bottom of the saucepan is
caused by Millard reaction, which involves interaction of protein and lactose. And for the
effect of acid, 5ml of vinegar cause a PH of 6, while 10 ml of vinegar cause PH of 6. A 15ml of
vinegar cause a PH of 5, and a 20ml of vinegar cause a 4.5 PH. 30ml of vinegar cause a 4.5
PH and finally 35ml vinegar cause a 4 PH.

there are some differences though.
Discussion
What should happen is people are all doing good job in this experiment and they all get
different data from their experiments. But each session has different data. For example, the
linespead and Brookfield, the difference may be occurred by using equipment inappropriately,
and the inaccurate in Brookfield may be caused by uncleaned equipment using by last group.
And according to Busch, heating and acid effect on milk is called denaturation, heat breaks the
bonds that hold together the secondary and tertiary structures, but it doesn’t alter the original
chain of amino acids. Some proteins denature at 110 degrees Fahrenheit, but most unfold
around 130 degrees Fahrenheit, which cause thick skin on top (2014).

According to the test results, people participated in the lab really did a good job. People did
good on tasting milks on first experiment and third experiment can really prove that most of
students really did accuracy testing. The experiments have many outside factors that may
influence the results. For example, like the residue on the equipment from last group may
influence next group’s measurement. Maybe next time, people may clean the equipment they
used for the next group.

Vitamin C is an important antioxidant and cofactor which plays muti-function in the
body. Deficiencies in vitamin C can lead to scurvy, bone pain, and affect wound healing. This
review examines the functional importance of vitamin C as it relates to the development and
maintenance of bone tissues. Analysis shows Vitamin C has a positive effect on bone health.
Overall, vitamin C exerts a positive effect on trabecular bone formation by influencing
expression of bone matrix genes in osteoblasts. “Recent studies on the molecular pathway
for vitamin C actions that include direct effects of vitamin C on transcriptional regulation of
target genes by influencing the activity of transcription factors and by epigenetic modification of
key genes involved in skeletal development and maintenance are discussed”. With an
understanding of metabolism of vitamin C and knowledge of precise molecular pathways
for vitamin C actions in bone cells, it is possible that new strategies can be figured for the
treatment of osteoporotic fractures.

Nutr 3100
The recent 2015 Dietary Guidelines for Americans contained some surprising findings. what did
they conclude about:
a. dietary cholesterol
Though there is no straight evidence shows relationship between consumption of dietary
cholesterol and blood cholesterol, changing the diet is the most effect way to lower blood
cholesterol. And it is ok to eat moderate saturated fats, but we should avoid trans fats all the
time.
b. trans fat
Trans fats are found in many fast foods, junk foods and commercial processed food, and we
should avoid trans fats all the time because it links to heart disease with no doubt.
c. red meat (and maybe eggs)
Research has shown that eating moderation red meat and eggs can have the opposite effects on
cardiovascular disease. Red meat and egg eventually convert into TMAO in the body. TMAO is
a factor that promotes vascular inflammation and formation of unstable plaques in arterial walls.
Based on these findings, what would your recommend to patients/clients?
Go Mediterranean is recommend, Mediterranean diet reduced the risk of cardiovascular events
because of the extra virgin olive oil or nuts.
If you have high blood pressure, you can still cat salt but you need to decrease your salt
consumption in order to decrease the top number of blood pressure. The biggest factor of
reducing high blood pressure is to lose weight.

I am currently a senior attending Ohio University, in the Applied Nutrition-
Dietetics program and enrolled in the Diabetes Certificate. I chose this major is
because I want to make some changes for a healthier life, start from myself, then I
can tell others how to eat a better and healthier diet in their life.
I plan to graduate in May of 2018. Before graduation, I plan to find a job
related in applied nutrition, like clinical dietitian, or a dietitian counselor. For the
next five to ten years, I may start my own clinic. For this summer, I really hope I
can finish my dietetic internship, which is a really good experience for me and this
would really help me in my future career.
Last summer I went back home and volunteered in a non-profit organization
called “Zhejiang Big love”, that helps old people prevent the Alzheimer disease. In
this origination, I experienced a lot team work, teammate and teammate
collaboration. Also, I really enjoyed talking with old people, they were funny and
fully experienced. I really hope that next time I can work with some patients in
hospital.
I am also passionate in diabetes, psychology and environment health, that is
why I am getting my diabetes certificate, psychology and environment health
minor degree when I graduate. This fall, I started work at shively hall, just get
closed to foods and get some basic experiences.
My career goal is to become a dietitian. I like to talk to people and I really love
to help them with their diet issues. I would really like to start at non-profit
organization, get in touch with others and get familiar with my work. My interests
also include environment health, diabetes and psychology, which I intend to
incorporate into my career.

Yulei
Hi Ryan, how are you doing today?
Ryan
I’m doing pretty good. How are you?
Yulei
I’m doing great. Thank you. So let’s go ahead and start the day. Last week we talked about that
you have some concerns about your body weight. Is that ture?
Ryan
Yes, I really have a busy schedule at weekdays,so I usually pick up some prepared foods from
restaurant such like soups and salad for my lunch. Then I am always tired after work, so I
usually skip the meal instead of making foods by my own. But I usually eat some snacks when I
watch TV at night like ice-cream or potato chips. I know it is bad for my health and my weight
that eat at late night, but they are just so good and I am so hungry that I can’t stop eating them.
Yulei
I understand. I know it has been a big struggle for you, but we are gonna work through
together. How about doing your own meals at night or asking some friends to eat out nicely?
Ryan
I really appreciate you said so. And I probably can do it.
Yulei
If you are willing, let’s make a list of advantages and disadvantages of skip the meal Let’s write
them down on these cards.
Ryan
Ok sure. I can do that.
Yulei
Let’s start with the positive sides. What are some advantages of skipping meals at night?
Ryan
Well, if I don’t eat out, then I can save some money.
Yulei
OK, how about the negative sides?
Ryan
Well, it is bad for my health if I cut the dinner, I can’t get enough nutrients for the day, and in
long time, it may cause a health complication. Also, my doctor worries about my weight
problem for a long time
Yulei
So when looking at the pros and cons, what seem compelling right now?
Ryan
It is obvious that pros are better than cons, so I will definitely change my current eating habits.
Yulei
I am glad that you have made you mind of changing your diet for your lunch and dinner.
Ryan
So what are some ways I can change my condition right now?
Yulei
From what you told me, I can see that you are ready to change your eating habits. I think we
can start with changing your lunch. Maybe take a short break at your work days with a nicely
meal ordered and delivered, or, you can make your foods the night before the work day, these
two are both enjoyable and nutritious. Then when you go back to home after work, you can
either order a delivery or make foods by your own, or asking some friends to eat out with you.
But I really recommend that buying a simple cook book, and learn some courses. Is that sounds
good?
Ryan
Yes, I think I can try. Thanks for helping and understanding
Yulei
That’s my pleasure. Looking forward to hearing about how it’s going during our next session.

Okay (Nodding to show understanding). We all make mistakes here and there. You have kept
pretty consistent with your diet other than the light night snack cravings. What other snack
foods have you been consuming?
YULEI
I tend to buy snacks like cheese its and lays potato chips, I usually try to eat least buy one that
has reduced fats. Basically, any sort of snack to tie me over until the next meal so that I don’t
eat too large of portion sizes. The problem is I usually eat too many snack foods during the day
and then when it comes times to actually eat a meal I don’t consume enough and then by night
time I am hungry again. I don’t want to take the time and prepare a whole meal so I usually just
eat a good amount of whatever snack food is on hand.
RYAN
(scratches chin) Ok, I can see where you are having some troubles. Me being your counselor, I
am here to try to give you advice and choose to eat healthier snack and meal options so we can
improve your diet and lessen the complications that come with your diabetes.
YULEI
What are some ways I can lessen my snack cravings for these less healthy food options?
RYAN
From what you told me, it seems that you aren’t that disciplined with your diet. If you continue
to over indulge with these snack foods you truly won’t make any progress. You could start by
purchasing healthier snack options since that seems to be your biggest struggle as well as learn
portion control. I think if we start by replacing those cheese its and potato chips with something
like some apple slices with some peanut butter we can make progress on your portion control
issues because it will keep you full for longer instead of the empty carb snacks that you have
cravings for. This is just merely an example, there are plenty of options we can explore to get
you on the right track you just have to show to me that you are committed. Are you willing to
try replacing these snacks with healthier options as a start and we can go on from there?
YULEI
(Nods head) Yeah I think I can do it!
RYAN
Ok great! On scale of 1 to 10, 1 not being ready and 10 being 100% ready to change right now,
how prepared do you think you are to make these changes for good?
YULEI
Honestly, I feel like I am at about 8, once I commit to something I keep my word and try to
reach goals
RYAN
Ok great you seem like you are very ready for change what made you say an 8 instead of
something lower such as a 5 or 6?
YULEI
I know how important this weight loss is to my health, I need to eat healthy and be healthy.
Plus it will help reduce any further complications with my diabetes
RYAN
You seem like a very will-hearted person and I strongly believe with your strong personal
values you can do this, these changes won’t be something you regret I can guarantee that.
YULEI
Thank you so much for the support, I feel even more confident now that I have your support
and advice to help me make these changes.
RYAN
Awesome! I feel like we are on the same page and we have the right chemistry to do this. You
have some of the strongest determination I have ever seen. If you ever start to feel
discouraged just keep that inner drive you have going. I am looking forward to the next visit
with you and see your progress.

The conflict between Russia and Ukraine
Yulei Qian
Ohio University
The conflict between Russia and Europe influence Ukraine
It was a very long history that the relationship between Russia and Europe is not that good.
After the end of World War Ⅱ, the president of the England, Winston Leonard Spencer
Churchill made a speech at 1946 called the "iron curtain" speech, was an incident that touches
off a war. Between 1947 and 1991, The United State and North Atlantic Treaty Organization,
which include the England, France, Germany and other 19 countries as major military power in
North America and Europe, had a Cold War at that time with Warsaw Treaty Organization and
the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, which include Russia, White Russia, Ukraine and other
15 countries. The Cold War had lasting for 54 years and it was not only military war, but also
political struggles. It was called the Cold War because North Atlantic Treaty Organization and
Union of Soviet Socialist Republics was avoiding the actual war at that time. They compete the
technology of Military, the science and the diplomacy. Because of many reasons, like strategy
changes, division of Germany, at 1991, the leader of United State and the Union of Soviet
Socialist Republics announced together that the cold war was ended, and the Union of Soviet
Socialist Republics announced they were collapsed (History learning site).
In 2013 November, the crisis in Ukraine began, according to the report of BBC, “Outraged
by the move towards Moscow, anti-government demonstrations take place in Kiev with an
estimated 100,000 on the streets. By December, some 800,000 people rally in the capital and
protesters occupy city hall and Independence Square. And In mid-January, parliament passes
restrictive anti-protest laws as clashes turn deadly. Anti-Yanukovych protesters begin storming
regional government offices in other parts of western Ukraine. And On 20 February, 2014,
bloodshed reaches its worst since the start of the crisis. At least 88 people are killed in 48 hours
in Kiev, which is the capital of Ukraine” (BBC).
The Ukrainian situation continues to worsen. According to Davidson, The Ukrainian
military has lost over half its well-developed armor because of the crisis, about 70 percent of
Ukrainian wounded personnel long-range artillery and rocket strikes that Ukraine is unable to
counteract. Total separatist forces now about 36000, and the most of participation people are
Ukrainian citizens themselves, and about 1000 to 10000 are Russian citizens. Approximately 5.2
million people were affected by the crisis, and more than one million people were displaced. And
most of these Terrorist Attack are organized by nongovernment organization (Davidson).
The conflict between Russia and Europe has been through over half a century since then. In
Middle 90 century, Ukraine is part of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. Then Ukraine was
having Political struggle Since the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics were collapsed in 1991.
First, the Location is one of the causes. Russia is in the East of Ukraine, and Poland is in the
West of Ukraine. However, Ukraine located geographically in Europe. And also, Ukraine has
been torn between east and west since the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. Ukrainian is the
main language in western regions. However, Russian is predominant in parts of the east and
south (Rozin).
Second, Crimea has been merging into Russia since March 13rd, 2014. Russia regard
Crimea’s action as s a reunion and Russia said they respect for the right of self-determination
Crimea made. In the meanwhile, the West consider that as a menace to European security and a
violation of territorial integrity (Rozin).
Another potential reason is Ukraine was having thoughts about join both Russia and
European Union for a long time though it is located in Europe, and it is another potential cause
of conflict between Russia and Europe. The hesitation of the government in Ukraine, which do
not decided to join Europe or Russia, and they not only relay on the resources in Russian, but
also have the thoughts to join the European Union. Ukraine now is in a dilemma situation.
Because government do not make the move, there are some conflicts between the citizens in
Ukraine that support European and the Russian stay in Ukraine support the Russia.
The president of Russia Putin, said “Ukraine's crisis has been caused by the West”, he
“considers Franco-German proposals to end fighting between the government and pro-Russia
rebels.” He believes that the western countries broke the pledges, which means in 1990, United
States promise the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics before they collapsed that NATO would
not expand into Eastern Europe. But look at the satiation now, European are forcing these
countries in Eastern Europe to choose EU or Russia (BBC).
On Saturday, February 17, 2015, President Putin insisted that his country was innocent, he
said during a visit to Sochi on the Black Sea that they were not planning to fight with anyone,
they wanted to solve the problem peacefully, and they planned to cooperate with everybody. On
the other hand, President of Germany, Merkel just said they are not trying to scare Putin,
Sending arms to Ukraine will not scare Putin, but it could lead a war happen (Parfitt).
As I mention above, the president of Russian Putin, considers that the caused by the West. In
fact, EU indeed sanction the Ukraine. According to the EU news, they did some restrictions such
like freeze the assets, and prohibit the Visa, which means Ukraine citizens may not be able to
enter European countries that easy. This action effect 145 persons and 24 entities responsible for
the action against Ukraine's territorial integrity. Also, EU prohibit the imports from Crimea and
Sevastopol, and stated the law that making an investment in Crimea and Sevastopol were
outlawed since then (European Union Newsroom).
There must be solutions to the conflicts. According to President Barroso, who was the
11th President of the European Commission, consider that the conflict between Russia and
Ukraine can be solved without war. But there are not so much time left for Ukraine to hesitate to
make a compromise. The European Council asked European Commission to make a further
proposals for some restrictive measures. Because the Commission have done the same things
before, President Barroso was pretty sure that EU leaders could make this happen really quickly.
Though restriction is sort of a solution, President Barroso insisted that these ways are not the
best. It is just a way to show Russia that the behavior in 21st century is not appropriate. EU want
Russia work with them and also with Ukraine peacefully, and that would be the best way of this
solution (European Commission).
Mr. Hollande, the foreign secretary. He said he against arming Ukraine and Philip
Hammond. He also said the UK supports a diplomatic solution. “At the moment we do not feel
that the supply of arms would be a helpful contribution,” said by Mr Hammond. “And so long as
there is something approximating a military stalemate, the focus must be on finding a political
solution to resolve it.” (Parfitt).
In conclusion, the conflicts can be solved in some level. At least both conflicting countries
do not have the thoughts to start the war, these countries are both trying to solve the problem
peacefully in the future.

It is not surprise that we are now in a “post-antibiotic era”. As we now use antibiotic
medicine more frequently as bacterial illness treatment, beside antibiotic has a history about a
hundred years. Bacterium evolve because of we overuse antibiotic, they would have higher
survival rate in all kinds of antibiotic medicine. Therefore, bacteria have higher antimicrobial
resistance than before is predictable.
People are not realizing that they over dependent on antibiotics. As the article mentioned,
already huge number of bacterium are antimicrobial resistance. I would suggest doctors and
nurse to educate patients about antibiotic that antibiotic is important but not needed, and how
less effective antibiotic now as a treatment.
Mathematical analyzing

1. Write an introduction explaining the following:
a) how and where you collected your data
b) what you controlled for and could not control for as a researcher (that is, explain what
other influences or independent variables
that you could/did not control that may have resulted in your data set not accurately
representing your groups)
c) why you are studying these particular variables
d) what you expect to find
e) **be sure to add a copy of your data**
Introduction: What I am going to do is talk about my research. My research topic is how
many hours an Ohio university student studies each week in the summer session. This is not a
hard problem and many students may did this before. I collect my data form Alden library last
Thursday by asking fifteen female students and sixteen male students who is studying in the
second floor and the fourth floor. This is really interesting that almost half of the students ask me
if I was asking for the summer session studying hours. I was not surprise that maybe summer
session is a little bit relaxed than fall and spring semester. But some of the students take online
course which may spend them more time on self-studying. This is one of the variable that I
cannot control. Another one I cannot control as a researcher is before the exams or projects, the
study hours may increase, I do not know each student’s exam schedule, therefore some students
may have a big portion of time spending on studying because of the exams or projects. Major is
one that I cannot control either. Some major like nursing or law may take student a lot of time on
reading and remembering definitions and cases. The last one I can think of are Undergraduates
and Graduates. Graduates are obviously demanded more time to do research and write papers.
What I can control is to ask students by their gender, and ask them specifically how many hours
they study each day then multiply how many days they study each week. The reason why I study
these particular variable is that I am curious that people here in summer session study how many
hours weekly, I am curious what is the study hours differences between males and females. If
there is a comparison, one must be higher than the other, what I mean is either female or male
spend more time on studying than the other. I am not sure that which group study more, but what
I expect is that female have more study hours than male.
The independent variable in my research is gender (male and female).My independent
variable is a categorical data, the scale of measurement is ordinal, and gender is discrete, because
gender cannot be halves.
The dependent variable in my research is study hours per week in summer session. This
is a measurement data, because we need to count that. And the scale of measurement is ordinal.
The dependent variable is continuous because hours can be halves.
From the first chart, I can conclude that the most frequent hour appears in female are 8,15, 25
and 30. These hours both appear twice. The highest hour in female is 36, and the frequency is 1,
the lowest hour in female is 5, and the frequency is 1,too. From chart two, which is male
frequency chart, I found that the most frequent hour are 15and 20, which both appear three times.
The highest hour in male is 24 with a frequency 1, and the lowest hour in male is 4 with a
1frequency.
From these two charts, I find that female has the highest study hour, which is 36 hours per
week. Also, female have 6 person that study more than 20 hours (include 20), male has 5.
Female has 6 person that study less than 10 hours (include 10 hours), however, male has 7.
For Question 5, both two histogram charts shape like normal distribution. But for female, the
shape of histogram is a little bit positive skewed, and for male, it is more like negative skewed.
There is fifteen data in female part and the average score is 16.8 hours. In the meanwhile, the
average of the male in 16 data is 13.25 hours. The score corresponds to the 50th
percentile in
each distribution is same, both 15 hours. I believe that mean and median is the central tendency
that can reflect the female data better though this fifteen data have a big standard deviation. As
for the male part, I consider that mean, median and mode be central tendency to report the
distributions. Because according to the chart, standard deviation of male session is not as large as
females’, and the median is equal to mode, which are also close to the mean.
In my research, the standard deviation for female group is 10.16, and for male group is 6.82.
I would not say I have much variability in my data because all I got is 15 female data and 16
male data. But the range in female group is much larger than the male group, which is 31, and
male group gets a 20 in range. Female group gets a more variability obviously. Female group has
11 sets of data, which male group gets 10 sets.
For the female group, the raw score best corresponds to the top 20% is 25 hours, the raw
score best corresponds to the top 30% is 20 hours. For the male session, the raw score best
corresponds to the top 20% is 19 hours, the raw score best corresponds to the top 30% is 18
hours.
2. What is your independent variable? What is your dependent variable? For each variable
identify the following:
a) type of data: categorical or measurement (2 points)
b) scale of measurement: nominal, ordinal, interval, ratio
c) Is the dependent variable discrete or continuous?
3. Using SPSS, construct a frequency distribution for each group. Include output here. Discuss
your findings.

Summer 2015
1. Assume that a company is budgeting to sell 3,500 units of a product at a selling price per unit
of $35. The variable cost per unit is $28 and total fixed costs are $7,000.
REQUIRED
Prepare a contribution margin income statement and calculate operating leverage.
2. Suppose the company is unsure exactly how many units they will sell. As such, their
marketing department has provided a worst case scenario where sales would be 2,500 units and a
best case scenario where sales would be 3,900 units. Assume that the selling price per unit,
variable cost per unit and fixed costs will remain constant (per part 1).
REQUIRED
Prepare a contribution margin income statement and calculate operating leverage for both the
worst case scenario (sales of 2,500 units) and the best case scenario (sales of 3,900 units).
3. Suppose the company believes that 3,500 units is the most likely volume of sales. However,
it is unsure at what selling price per unit it will be able to charge. The marketing department has
provided a high estimate of $40 per unit and a low estimate of $31 per unit. Assume that
variable costs per unit and fixed costs will remain constant (per part 1).
REQUIRED
Prepare a contribution margin income statement and calculate operating leverage for both the
high ($40 per unit) and low ($31 per unit) estimate of the selling price.
4. Suppose the company believes that 3,500 units is the most likely volume of sales and that $35
is the most likely selling price per unit. However, the production department is unsure as to the
exact variable cost per unit. The production department has provided a high cost per unit of $31
and a low cost per unit of $22. Assume that fixed costs will remain constant (per part 1).
REQUIRED
Prepare a contribution margin income statement and calculate operating leverage for both the
high variable cost per unit ($31) and the low cost per unit ($22).
5. Suppose the company believes that 3,500 units is the most likely volume of sales, that $35 is
the most likely selling price per unit, and that $28 is the most likely variable cost per unit.
However, the accounting department is unsure as to the exact value of fixed costs. They have
provided a high estimate of fixed costs to be $8,500 and a low estimate of fixed costs to be
$4,500.
REQUIRED
Prepare a contribution margin income statement and calculate operating leverage for both the
high estimate of fixed costs ($8,500) and for the low estimate of fixed costs ($4,500).

MGT 2000
My decision shows that my decision-making style is conceptual, and I got a 5 in conceptual
style. My lowest score is behavioral, and I got zero in this style. I do agree that the result reflect
my self-perceptions. I think a lot for one thing, I would classify one thing for two sides, and then
I would consider pros and cons for both sides. The advantages for this decision making style is I
can both consider the good results and bad results and then compete them. The bad sides for this
style is thinking too much may distract my attention, I may lose my focus.
I got a score of 3 in B and I think analytical may consistent with my style. I do think analysis
data is a pretty cool style, and numbers can be very useful in realistic. But number cannot be
everything, number cannot prove every single case. In my opinion, if I need to work with
someone who is analytical, I would agree with his or her job and I would singly consider more,
not just data.

The ways to become a Fair food activist are following: To eat seasonally, shop locally, organic, free-range, grass-fed beef, buying clubs, and community gardens. Eat food seasonally can decrease the number of miles that food is transported. Freezing and hoop houses are ways to extend the season for eating locally. Organic food is the foods grow in a standard environment. Free-range means that chickens have access to the outside, but this requirement only pertains to chickens raised for meat. Grass- fed beef means the cows are fed only grass and forage for their entire life, it is better than fed them grain. Buying club is a organized group of people that buying lots of things directly from producer. Community gardens a piece of land gardened by a group of people. It decrease family food budgets, promotes good nutrition and physical exercise, and get close to fresh foods. A buying club is organized group of people who purchase in bulk directly from the producer. They share the savings that come from more favorable pricing and shipping fees among the members of the club. Chapter 8

For school, schools can make good food such as transform food options for children in urban schools, Connects educational institutions with local farmers, and also Recruits young adults for a yearlong term of public service in school food systems. For Health Care Institutions, they can make a difference, such like health care without harm, or healthy food in health care. For example, hospitals account for $12 billion of annual purchasing power for foods, it could make a difference if health care institutions shifted to healthier food options.

  • 10. 9/2/2015 1. According to the BMI chart, the reference BMI for 19-30 years old is 21.5 which refers to 64 inches height and 126 pounds weight. Tonya is 66 inches and only weight 107 pounds. Therefore she is underweight. 2. Tonya’s body fat is approximately 18% which is in the range between healthy and unhealthy but tend to be more unhealthy. 3. There are lots of reasons that can cause not ovulating. According to the paragraph, it says Tonya has experiencing a four year amenorrhea, which means hormonal problems could be one reason. Another main reason could be Tonya’s low weight she kept for four years. Also, Tonya’s daily caffeine intake may be high enough to influence her body’s ovulating. Or maybe she does not watch her diet, for example she drinks alcohol a lot. Even exercises little can affect her body too. 4. According to the text book, “weight loss that exceeds approximately 10-15% of usual weight decrease estrogen, LH, and FSH concentrations”. Therefore Tonya’s average estrogen level would likely to drop to abnormal range. 5. The reason I can consider is even if Clomid or another ovulation inducing drug may have a fast effect to Tonya’s body. Taking drug is the short term solution. Being healthy with a normal BMI and body fat is the long term plan. Another reason could be the side effect of the drugs if she take the pills which can affect her health. Therefore for her own health, she chooses the gain weight rather than take pills. Nutr 2200 NUTRITION 2200 Milk REPORT Yulei Qian Thursday 5-8 P.M.

  • 12. Purpose This experiment is called Milk. And this experiment has multiple purpose. Basically is to compare different type of milk’s appearance, consistency, flavor, aroma and composition of various commercial milk products in first step. The second purpose is to test the effect that heat or acid change whole milks’ condition. The next purpose is to test various flour may have influence on consistency of white sauce. Also, to gain some experiences of preparation of white sauce and milk foams, and to compare the ease of preparation, stability and characteristics of various milk foam. To investigate the effect of temperature on the preparation of whipped cream, prepared butter from whipping cream and vanilla pudding, and compare whole milk and non-dairy milk substitute which made pudding. Methodology There are five components of this experiment. The first one is called “Milk products”, which is test the appearance, consistency, flavor, aroma and composition of various commercial milk products. The second one is called the “coagulation of fresh milk”, which is test the effect of
  • 13. heat and acid that may influence milk coagulation. For the heat one, students just heat the 125ml of whole milk in saucepan and see if a thick skin would appear when heating some time. And for the acid one, students just add 5ml vinegar once at time and each time test the PH value for the new solution. The third one is called “basic white sauce”, which is to test various flour may have influence on consistency of white sauce. The fourth one is to make vanilla pudding using different types of milk such like whole milk or reconstituted dry dairy or yogurt. The last one is to make milk foams in different conditions such like in cold bowl, warm bowl, evaporated milk, reconstituted non-fat milk, and butter milk. Results In the first experiment, the data shows below. 1.

Coagulation of fresh milk For the heat one, milk component involved in the film on the milk surface is whey, and milk component involved in precipitation on the bottom of the saucepan is milk’s calcium phosphate. Milk component involved in the browning on the bottom of the saucepan is caused by Millard reaction, which involves interaction of protein and lactose. And for the effect of acid, 5ml of vinegar cause a PH of 6, while 10 ml of vinegar cause PH of 6. A 15ml of vinegar cause a PH of 5, and a 20ml of vinegar cause a 4.5 PH. 30ml of vinegar cause a 4.5 PH and finally 35ml vinegar cause a 4 PH. 3.

  • 17. And here is the data from the whole class From the data, the results from the whole class is somehow close to Wednesday’s data, there are some differences though. Discussion What should happen is people are all doing good job in this experiment and they all get different data from their experiments. But each session has different data. For example, the linespead and Brookfield, the difference may be occurred by using equipment inappropriately, and the inaccurate in Brookfield may be caused by uncleaned equipment using by last group. And according to Busch, heating and acid effect on milk is called denaturation, heat breaks the bonds that hold together the secondary and tertiary structures, but it doesn’t alter the original chain of amino acids. Some proteins denature at 110 degrees Fahrenheit, but most unfold around 130 degrees Fahrenheit, which cause thick skin on top (2014).

  • 18. According to the test results, people participated in the lab really did a good job. People did good on tasting milks on first experiment and third experiment can really prove that most of students really did accuracy testing. The experiments have many outside factors that may influence the results. For example, like the residue on the equipment from last group may influence next group’s measurement. Maybe next time, people may clean the equipment they used for the next group. Reference Brannan, R.G. 2013. Labortaory Manual for Nutr 2200. Pp.5-8, 72-81. Sandi busch. 2014.

  • 20. Vitamin C is an important antioxidant and cofactor which plays muti-function in the body. Deficiencies in vitamin C can lead to scurvy, bone pain, and affect wound healing. This review examines the functional importance of vitamin C as it relates to the development and maintenance of bone tissues. Analysis shows Vitamin C has a positive effect on bone health. Overall, vitamin C exerts a positive effect on trabecular bone formation by influencing expression of bone matrix genes in osteoblasts. “Recent studies on the molecular pathway for vitamin C actions that include direct effects of vitamin C on transcriptional regulation of target genes by influencing the activity of transcription factors and by epigenetic modification of key genes involved in skeletal development and maintenance are discussed”. With an understanding of metabolism of vitamin C and knowledge of precise molecular pathways for vitamin C actions in bone cells, it is possible that new strategies can be figured for the treatment of osteoporotic fractures. Reference: Aghajanian P, e. (2015). The Roles and Mechanisms of Actions of Vitamin C in Bone: New Developments. - PubMed - NCBI. Ncbi.nlm.nih.gov. Retrieved 13 November 2015, from http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26358868 Nutr 3100 The recent 2015 Dietary Guidelines for Americans contained some surprising findings. what did they conclude about: a. dietary cholesterol Though there is no straight evidence shows relationship between consumption of dietary cholesterol and blood cholesterol, changing the diet is the most effect way to lower blood cholesterol. And it is ok to eat moderate saturated fats, but we should avoid trans fats all the time. b. trans fat Trans fats are found in many fast foods, junk foods and commercial processed food, and we should avoid trans fats all the time because it links to heart disease with no doubt. c. red meat (and maybe eggs)
  • 21. Research has shown that eating moderation red meat and eggs can have the opposite effects on cardiovascular disease. Red meat and egg eventually convert into TMAO in the body. TMAO is a factor that promotes vascular inflammation and formation of unstable plaques in arterial walls. Based on these findings, what would your recommend to patients/clients? Go Mediterranean is recommend, Mediterranean diet reduced the risk of cardiovascular events because of the extra virgin olive oil or nuts. If you have high blood pressure, you can still cat salt but you need to decrease your salt consumption in order to decrease the top number of blood pressure. The biggest factor of reducing high blood pressure is to lose weight.

I plan to graduate in May of 2018. Before graduation, I plan to find a job related in applied nutrition, like clinical dietitian, or a dietitian counselor. For the next five to ten years, I may start my own clinic. For this summer, I really hope I can finish my dietetic internship, which is a really good experience for me and this would really help me in my future career. Last summer I went back home and volunteered in a non-profit organization called “Zhejiang Big love”, that helps old people prevent the Alzheimer disease. In this origination, I experienced a lot team work, teammate and teammate collaboration. Also, I really enjoyed talking with old people, they were funny and fully experienced. I really hope that next time I can work with some patients in hospital. I am also passionate in diabetes, psychology and environment health, that is why I am getting my diabetes certificate, psychology and environment health
  • 22. minor degree when I graduate. This fall, I started work at shively hall, just get closed to foods and get some basic experiences. My career goal is to become a dietitian. I like to talk to people and I really love to help them with their diet issues. I would really like to start at non-profit organization, get in touch with others and get familiar with my work. My interests also include environment health, diabetes and psychology, which I intend to incorporate into my career.

  • 23. Ryan I’m doing pretty good. How are you? Yulei I’m doing great. Thank you. So let’s go ahead and start the day. Last week we talked about that you have some concerns about your body weight. Is that ture? Ryan Yes, I really have a busy schedule at weekdays,so I usually pick up some prepared foods from restaurant such like soups and salad for my lunch. Then I am always tired after work, so I usually skip the meal instead of making foods by my own. But I usually eat some snacks when I watch TV at night like ice-cream or potato chips. I know it is bad for my health and my weight that eat at late night, but they are just so good and I am so hungry that I can’t stop eating them. Yulei I understand. I know it has been a big struggle for you, but we are gonna work through together. How about doing your own meals at night or asking some friends to eat out nicely? Ryan I really appreciate you said so. And I probably can do it. Yulei If you are willing, let’s make a list of advantages and disadvantages of skip the meal Let’s write them down on these cards. Ryan Ok sure. I can do that.
  • 24. Yulei Let’s start with the positive sides. What are some advantages of skipping meals at night? Ryan Well, if I don’t eat out, then I can save some money. Yulei OK, how about the negative sides? Ryan Well, it is bad for my health if I cut the dinner, I can’t get enough nutrients for the day, and in long time, it may cause a health complication. Also, my doctor worries about my weight problem for a long time Yulei So when looking at the pros and cons, what seem compelling right now? Ryan It is obvious that pros are better than cons, so I will definitely change my current eating habits. Yulei I am glad that you have made you mind of changing your diet for your lunch and dinner. Ryan So what are some ways I can change my condition right now?
  • 25. Yulei From what you told me, I can see that you are ready to change your eating habits. I think we can start with changing your lunch. Maybe take a short break at your work days with a nicely meal ordered and delivered, or, you can make your foods the night before the work day, these two are both enjoyable and nutritious. Then when you go back to home after work, you can either order a delivery or make foods by your own, or asking some friends to eat out with you. But I really recommend that buying a simple cook book, and learn some courses. Is that sounds good? Ryan Yes, I think I can try. Thanks for helping and understanding Yulei That’s my pleasure. Looking forward to hearing about how it’s going during our next session.

  • 26. [Both Take Seats] RYAN Hello Yulei! It’s great to see you this afternoon. How are you doing? YULEI I’m doing pretty well, thanks for asking! RYAN How have things been going since we last talked? YULEI (Breaks eye contact, looks slightly disappointed and sighs) Well you know, I have been trying really hard to control my eating habits but I am having trouble with late night snack cravings. I feel like I am not making any progress. It frightens me especially now that I have been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes RYAN Okay (Nodding to show understanding). We all make mistakes here and there. You have kept pretty consistent with your diet other than the light night snack cravings. What other snack foods have you been consuming? YULEI I tend to buy snacks like cheese its and lays potato chips, I usually try to eat least buy one that has reduced fats. Basically, any sort of snack to tie me over until the next meal so that I don’t eat too large of portion sizes. The problem is I usually eat too many snack foods during the day and then when it comes times to actually eat a meal I don’t consume enough and then by night time I am hungry again. I don’t want to take the time and prepare a whole meal so I usually just eat a good amount of whatever snack food is on hand. RYAN (scratches chin) Ok, I can see where you are having some troubles. Me being your counselor, I am here to try to give you advice and choose to eat healthier snack and meal options so we can improve your diet and lessen the complications that come with your diabetes. YULEI What are some ways I can lessen my snack cravings for these less healthy food options? RYAN From what you told me, it seems that you aren’t that disciplined with your diet. If you continue to over indulge with these snack foods you truly won’t make any progress. You could start by purchasing healthier snack options since that seems to be your biggest struggle as well as learn portion control. I think if we start by replacing those cheese its and potato chips with something like some apple slices with some peanut butter we can make progress on your portion control issues because it will keep you full for longer instead of the empty carb snacks that you have
  • 27. cravings for. This is just merely an example, there are plenty of options we can explore to get you on the right track you just have to show to me that you are committed. Are you willing to try replacing these snacks with healthier options as a start and we can go on from there? YULEI (Nods head) Yeah I think I can do it! RYAN Ok great! On scale of 1 to 10, 1 not being ready and 10 being 100% ready to change right now, how prepared do you think you are to make these changes for good? YULEI Honestly, I feel like I am at about 8, once I commit to something I keep my word and try to reach goals RYAN Ok great you seem like you are very ready for change what made you say an 8 instead of something lower such as a 5 or 6? YULEI I know how important this weight loss is to my health, I need to eat healthy and be healthy. Plus it will help reduce any further complications with my diabetes RYAN You seem like a very will-hearted person and I strongly believe with your strong personal values you can do this, these changes won’t be something you regret I can guarantee that. YULEI Thank you so much for the support, I feel even more confident now that I have your support and advice to help me make these changes. RYAN Awesome! I feel like we are on the same page and we have the right chemistry to do this. You have some of the strongest determination I have ever seen. If you ever start to feel discouraged just keep that inner drive you have going. I am looking forward to the next visit with you and see your progress. General education ENG 1610
  • 28. The conflict between Russia and Ukraine Yulei Qian Ohio University The conflict between Russia and Europe influence Ukraine
  • 29. It was a very long history that the relationship between Russia and Europe is not that good. After the end of World War Ⅱ, the president of the England, Winston Leonard Spencer Churchill made a speech at 1946 called the "iron curtain" speech, was an incident that touches off a war. Between 1947 and 1991, The United State and North Atlantic Treaty Organization, which include the England, France, Germany and other 19 countries as major military power in North America and Europe, had a Cold War at that time with Warsaw Treaty Organization and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, which include Russia, White Russia, Ukraine and other 15 countries. The Cold War had lasting for 54 years and it was not only military war, but also political struggles. It was called the Cold War because North Atlantic Treaty Organization and Union of Soviet Socialist Republics was avoiding the actual war at that time. They compete the technology of Military, the science and the diplomacy. Because of many reasons, like strategy changes, division of Germany, at 1991, the leader of United State and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics announced together that the cold war was ended, and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics announced they were collapsed (History learning site). In 2013 November, the crisis in Ukraine began, according to the report of BBC, “Outraged by the move towards Moscow, anti-government demonstrations take place in Kiev with an estimated 100,000 on the streets. By December, some 800,000 people rally in the capital and protesters occupy city hall and Independence Square. And In mid-January, parliament passes restrictive anti-protest laws as clashes turn deadly. Anti-Yanukovych protesters begin storming regional government offices in other parts of western Ukraine. And On 20 February, 2014, bloodshed reaches its worst since the start of the crisis. At least 88 people are killed in 48 hours in Kiev, which is the capital of Ukraine” (BBC).
  • 30. The Ukrainian situation continues to worsen. According to Davidson, The Ukrainian military has lost over half its well-developed armor because of the crisis, about 70 percent of Ukrainian wounded personnel long-range artillery and rocket strikes that Ukraine is unable to counteract. Total separatist forces now about 36000, and the most of participation people are Ukrainian citizens themselves, and about 1000 to 10000 are Russian citizens. Approximately 5.2 million people were affected by the crisis, and more than one million people were displaced. And most of these Terrorist Attack are organized by nongovernment organization (Davidson). The conflict between Russia and Europe has been through over half a century since then. In Middle 90 century, Ukraine is part of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. Then Ukraine was having Political struggle Since the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics were collapsed in 1991. First, the Location is one of the causes. Russia is in the East of Ukraine, and Poland is in the West of Ukraine. However, Ukraine located geographically in Europe. And also, Ukraine has been torn between east and west since the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. Ukrainian is the main language in western regions. However, Russian is predominant in parts of the east and south (Rozin). Second, Crimea has been merging into Russia since March 13rd, 2014. Russia regard Crimea’s action as s a reunion and Russia said they respect for the right of self-determination Crimea made. In the meanwhile, the West consider that as a menace to European security and a violation of territorial integrity (Rozin). Another potential reason is Ukraine was having thoughts about join both Russia and European Union for a long time though it is located in Europe, and it is another potential cause of conflict between Russia and Europe. The hesitation of the government in Ukraine, which do
  • 31. not decided to join Europe or Russia, and they not only relay on the resources in Russian, but also have the thoughts to join the European Union. Ukraine now is in a dilemma situation. Because government do not make the move, there are some conflicts between the citizens in Ukraine that support European and the Russian stay in Ukraine support the Russia. The president of Russia Putin, said “Ukraine's crisis has been caused by the West”, he “considers Franco-German proposals to end fighting between the government and pro-Russia rebels.” He believes that the western countries broke the pledges, which means in 1990, United States promise the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics before they collapsed that NATO would not expand into Eastern Europe. But look at the satiation now, European are forcing these countries in Eastern Europe to choose EU or Russia (BBC).
  • 32. On Saturday, February 17, 2015, President Putin insisted that his country was innocent, he said during a visit to Sochi on the Black Sea that they were not planning to fight with anyone, they wanted to solve the problem peacefully, and they planned to cooperate with everybody. On the other hand, President of Germany, Merkel just said they are not trying to scare Putin, Sending arms to Ukraine will not scare Putin, but it could lead a war happen (Parfitt). As I mention above, the president of Russian Putin, considers that the caused by the West. In fact, EU indeed sanction the Ukraine. According to the EU news, they did some restrictions such like freeze the assets, and prohibit the Visa, which means Ukraine citizens may not be able to enter European countries that easy. This action effect 145 persons and 24 entities responsible for the action against Ukraine's territorial integrity. Also, EU prohibit the imports from Crimea and Sevastopol, and stated the law that making an investment in Crimea and Sevastopol were outlawed since then (European Union Newsroom). There must be solutions to the conflicts. According to President Barroso, who was the 11th President of the European Commission, consider that the conflict between Russia and Ukraine can be solved without war. But there are not so much time left for Ukraine to hesitate to make a compromise. The European Council asked European Commission to make a further proposals for some restrictive measures. Because the Commission have done the same things before, President Barroso was pretty sure that EU leaders could make this happen really quickly. Though restriction is sort of a solution, President Barroso insisted that these ways are not the best. It is just a way to show Russia that the behavior in 21st century is not appropriate. EU want Russia work with them and also with Ukraine peacefully, and that would be the best way of this solution (European Commission).
  • 33. Mr. Hollande, the foreign secretary. He said he against arming Ukraine and Philip Hammond. He also said the UK supports a diplomatic solution. “At the moment we do not feel that the supply of arms would be a helpful contribution,” said by Mr Hammond. “And so long as there is something approximating a military stalemate, the focus must be on finding a political solution to resolve it.” (Parfitt). In conclusion, the conflicts can be solved in some level. At least both conflicting countries do not have the thoughts to start the war, these countries are both trying to solve the problem peacefully in the future. References BBC. (2015).

Write an introduction explaining the following: a) how and where you collected your data b) what you controlled for and could not control for as a researcher (that is, explain what other influences or independent variables that you could/did not control that may have resulted in your data set not accurately representing your groups) c) why you are studying these particular variables d) what you expect to find e) **be sure to add a copy of your data** Introduction: What I am going to do is talk about my research. My research topic is how many hours an Ohio university student studies each week in the summer session. This is not a hard problem and many students may did this before. I collect my data form Alden library last Thursday by asking fifteen female students and sixteen male students who is studying in the second floor and the fourth floor. This is really interesting that almost half of the students ask me if I was asking for the summer session studying hours. I was not surprise that maybe summer session is a little bit relaxed than fall and spring semester. But some of the students take online course which may spend them more time on self-studying. This is one of the variable that I cannot control. Another one I cannot control as a researcher is before the exams or projects, the study hours may increase, I do not know each student’s exam schedule, therefore some students may have a big portion of time spending on studying because of the exams or projects. Major is one that I cannot control either. Some major like nursing or law may take student a lot of time on reading and remembering definitions and cases. The last one I can think of are Undergraduates
  • 37. and Graduates. Graduates are obviously demanded more time to do research and write papers. What I can control is to ask students by their gender, and ask them specifically how many hours they study each day then multiply how many days they study each week. The reason why I study these particular variable is that I am curious that people here in summer session study how many hours weekly, I am curious what is the study hours differences between males and females. If there is a comparison, one must be higher than the other, what I mean is either female or male spend more time on studying than the other. I am not sure that which group study more, but what I expect is that female have more study hours than male. The independent variable in my research is gender (male and female).My independent variable is a categorical data, the scale of measurement is ordinal, and gender is discrete, because gender cannot be halves. The dependent variable in my research is study hours per week in summer session. This is a measurement data, because we need to count that. And the scale of measurement is ordinal. The dependent variable is continuous because hours can be halves. From the first chart, I can conclude that the most frequent hour appears in female are 8,15, 25 and 30. These hours both appear twice. The highest hour in female is 36, and the frequency is 1, the lowest hour in female is 5, and the frequency is 1,too. From chart two, which is male frequency chart, I found that the most frequent hour are 15and 20, which both appear three times. The highest hour in male is 24 with a frequency 1, and the lowest hour in male is 4 with a 1frequency. From these two charts, I find that female has the highest study hour, which is 36 hours per week. Also, female have 6 person that study more than 20 hours (include 20), male has 5. Female has 6 person that study less than 10 hours (include 10 hours), however, male has 7.
  • 38. For Question 5, both two histogram charts shape like normal distribution. But for female, the shape of histogram is a little bit positive skewed, and for male, it is more like negative skewed. There is fifteen data in female part and the average score is 16.8 hours. In the meanwhile, the average of the male in 16 data is 13.25 hours. The score corresponds to the 50th percentile in each distribution is same, both 15 hours. I believe that mean and median is the central tendency that can reflect the female data better though this fifteen data have a big standard deviation. As for the male part, I consider that mean, median and mode be central tendency to report the distributions. Because according to the chart, standard deviation of male session is not as large as females’, and the median is equal to mode, which are also close to the mean. In my research, the standard deviation for female group is 10.16, and for male group is 6.82. I would not say I have much variability in my data because all I got is 15 female data and 16 male data. But the range in female group is much larger than the male group, which is 31, and male group gets a 20 in range. Female group gets a more variability obviously. Female group has 11 sets of data, which male group gets 10 sets. For the female group, the raw score best corresponds to the top 20% is 25 hours, the raw score best corresponds to the top 30% is 20 hours. For the male session, the raw score best corresponds to the top 20% is 19 hours, the raw score best corresponds to the top 30% is 18 hours.

MGT 2000 My decision shows that my decision-making style is conceptual, and I got a 5 in conceptual style. My lowest score is behavioral, and I got zero in this style. I do agree that the result reflect my self-perceptions. I think a lot for one thing, I would classify one thing for two sides, and then I would consider pros and cons for both sides. The advantages for this decision making style is I can both consider the good results and bad results and then compete them. The bad sides for this style is thinking too much may distract my attention, I may lose my focus. I got a score of 3 in B and I think analytical may consistent with my style. I do think analysis data is a pretty cool style, and numbers can be very useful in realistic. But number cannot be everything, number cannot prove every single case. In my opinion, if I need to work with someone who is analytical, I would agree with his or her job and I would singly consider more, not just data.
