Week 4 Homework Questions Questions 1 and 2 were taken directly from the text and I am aware that the answers are available through an internet search. I want to remind you that searching the internet for the answers and using those answers is a violation of UMUC academic integrity policies. In addition, using any outside source without citation is plagiarism. However, just gaining access to the answers will not satisfy the homework assignment because I have added the requirement that you explain your answers, which cannot be found on the internet and needs to be reasoned out from the material in the chapter.

Week 4 Project - STAT 3001 Student Name: Date: Instructions: To complete this project, you will need the following materials: STATDISK User Manual (found in the classroom in DocSharing) Access to the Internet to download the STATDISK program. Part I. Analyze Data Instructions Answers 1. Open the file COTININE using menu option Datasets and then Elementary Stats, 9 th Edition . This file contains some information about a collection of movies. How many observations are there in this file? In this file, there are three variables, labeled Smokers, ETS, and No ETS. The dataset was collected for a study of second-hand smoke. The sample data consists of the measured serum cotinine levels in three different groups of people. · The NOETS group lists the cotinine levels for subjects who are nonsmokers and have no exposure to environmental tobacco smoke at home or work. · The ETS group lists cotinine levels for subjects who are nonsmokers exposed to tobacco smoke at home or work. · The SMOKERS group lists cotinine levels for subjects who report tobacco use. Serum cotinine is a metabolite of nicotine, meaning that cotinine is produced when nicotine is absorbed by the body. Higher levels of cotinine correspond to higher levels of exposure to smoke that contains nicotine. 2. What results do you expect to find in this data? Part II. Descriptive Statistics 3. Generate descriptive statistics for all three groups of people and complete the following table. Round all results to 2 decimal places. Variable Sample Mean Sample Standard Deviation Sample Size Smokers ETS No ETS 4. Did you get the results you expected here? Explain why. 5. In which of the three groups did we experience the MOST variation (highest deviation from the mean)? Part III. Confidence Intervals 6. Generate a 95% interval for the mean of the SMOKERS group. Paste your results here. 7. Generate a 95% interval for the mean of the ETS group. Paste your results here. 8. Generate a 95% interval for the mean of the No ETS group. Paste your results here Create a graph below by illustrating all three confidence intervals on one graph using the tools in your word processor (example below). Statdisk cannot do this for you. Creat your graph and turn the font red. For this process, I just use the dashes and wrote a scale below the axes. Here is an example, but it is not based on the data you are analyzing: Case 1 14---------------------42 Case 2 35-------------------------70 ________________________________________ 0 20 40 60 Your Solution : 11. Based on the confidence intervals shown above, does there appear to be some evidence to indicate that exposure to tobacco smoke corresponds to higher levels of cotinine? Part IV. Hypothesis Testing Let’s say that you are trying to show that the level of cotinine is equal to zero (0) for people who do not smoke and are not exposed to Environmental.

Week 4 - Assignment Creating a Unit Plan Once you’ve gotten to know your students through learning profile inventories that identify individual areas of strength and learning styles, you can design multimodal lessons that incorporate instructional technology that engage the 21st century learner. This week, you will create a three-day unit plan outline that addresses students’ diverse learning styles and multiple intelligences, acknowledges cultural and language differences, and integrates digital tools and technology. Using the textbook as guidance, create a Unit Plan outline, using the provided template that includes: Introduction: Describe the demographics of your current (or fictional classroom) including: Grade Level and Subject Area Total number of students – ability levels, gender, students with special needs, English Language Learners (ELLs) Other relevant information (such as socioeconomic status, family background, recurring behavior issues, etc.) Stage 1: The first stage is to determine the “Big Picture”; what you want students to learn, conceptually, at the unit’s conclusion. You must: Identify the content, unit title, unit subject, and at least one Common Core State Standard (CCSS) that aligns with the unit. Create at least two measurable unit objectives that align with the CCSS. Describe what you want the students to master including key concepts, “big ideas”, and major understandings (see the textbook, Chapter 4 for guidance). The following resources are helpful when creating Stage 1: Common Core Standards - The Standards Writing measurable learning objectives . P21 common core toolkit Stage 2: The second stage outlines evidence of learning including pre-assessments, formative assessments, and a summative assessment. Pre-assessment: Explain how you will measure student’s level of readiness and preexisting knowledge specific to the content chosen. Include how you will take into account student strengths, interests, and learning needs. Formative Assessment: Explain how you will use formative assessments to drive differentiated instruction throughout the unit specific to the content you’ve chosen. Be sure to include how these assessments address UDL principals. Summative Assessment: Design a summative assessment that will measure the student’s level of unit mastery. You must include how this assessment addresses UDL principals and DI theory and how the assessment takes into account your diverse student population. Stage 3: The final stage of the unit plan involves developing the activities and experiences, building upon what you determined in Stage 1. “This stage involves tailoring learning activities to the identified strengths, learning styles, and interests of students, organizing lessons in a meaningful way that emphasizes the relevance of the learning, and engaging the learners with active learning strategies”(Chapter 4, pp. 5-6). In addition, this stage should also incorporate self-regulation strat.

Week 2: Leon Leon is a 52-year old man who describes his family of origin as "extremely dysfunctional," with both parents having "addictive personalities." His father was an alcoholic, and fathered many children by several woman. Leon's father was also verbally and physically abusive. Shouting and violence were common family experiences. His parents divorced when Leon was six. As a divorcee with illegitimate children, his mother became an outcast in his small town, so she moved his family to Mexico City. There, his mother dealt with the stresses of life by becoming extremely angry and violent with her children. At age 17, Leon had reached the limit of his ability to endure this violence. He moved out of the house, along with his brothers and sisters. As the oldest child, Leon became the main source of support for his younger siblings. Leon studied to be a plumber, and later a general contractor. He had deep anxiety about committing to marriage and family, and especially feared being abandoned. Eventually, Leon married a designer, and they had two daughters, and have been married for 27 years. He describes himself as “committed, but distant” from his wife, feeling himself disengaged from family activities and finding little joy in anything. Mostly apathetic, recently, his older daughter chose to work instead of attending college, Leon noted that he reacted with frustration and anger, reminding himself of his mother. Leon feels lack of energy, occasional heart palpitations, insomnia, and constipation (since age six, when his parents divorced).

What do you think may be your ‘initial diagnosis’ based on the information given in the case study? Why? What, if any, psychospiritual factors might be present and maintaining the presenting issue? What are possible methods of treatment or referral? .

Week 2 Discussion Design Basics Used to Create Balance The Chinese have a theory that you pass through boredom into fascination and I think it’s true. I would never choose a subject for what it means to me or what I think about it. You’ve just got to choose a subject, and what you feel about it, what it means, begins to unfold if you just plain choose a subject and do it enough. ––Diane Arbus Diane Arbus was a highly original photographer who has greatly influenced the course of contemporary photography. In her Photography: A Cultural History (2002), Mary Warner Marien writes: Arbus turned normalcy on its head, making the ordinary bizarre and naturalizing the unusual. In her photographs of people, many of them made while she roamed the streets of New York, clothes and cosmetics are futile efforts to camouflage psychic emptiness or damage. When Arbus photographed children, she revealed them as little versions of bad-tempered, mean-spirited adults. […] On the other hand, her photographs of people at the margins of society, such as female impersonators, show them to be more virtuous for having unmasked their subjective inclinations. For Arbus, marginal people were symbols for her own psychological fragility and trauma (p. 352). The thematic power of Arbus’s work is based on the masterful composition of her subject matter, balancing key elements within a square frame format, which is uniquely identified with her mature style. To prepare for this Discussion: Review Chapters 2 and 3 in your course text, The Photographer’s Eye. Review Diane Arbus’s photograph, Child with Toy Hand Grenade, 1962 . Review the websites from this week’s Learning Resources for more inspiration and examples of photographs. Consider the following questions regarding the Arbus photograph: How does the use of a square frame impact the balance of the photograph? What elements contribute to the balance of the photograph presented here? Would you say this is a balanced photograph? Explain your response. Does this composition draw your eyes more to the center of the frame or more to the edges? Give evidence for your response. How does the photograph demonstrate contrast, tension, rhythm, and/or depth? How does the subject of the photograph relate to the background? How is perspective created in the photograph? Is the photograph more weighted toward information or emotion? Explain your response. While considering the questions above, compare the assigned photograph with Arbus’s 1967 photograph, Identical Twins, Roselle, N.J., 1967 . Explain how these photographs differ and how they are similar. With these thoughts in mind: Post by Day 3 a response that addresses three of the questions. Analyze how Arbus uses placement to create or disrupt a sense of balance in her composition. (Approximately 250 words ). In your post, be sure to: Refer to one specific example from your course reading. Be sure to support your ideas by connecting them to the week’s Learning Resources, or.
