The new pap guidelines recommend the following key changes:
1. The first pap smear should be at age 21 instead of younger teenagers, as pap smears before this age often led to unnecessary treatment.
2. For women in their 20s with normal immune systems and no previous abnormal pap results, pap smears can now be done every 2 years instead of annually.
3. For women in their 30s meeting the same criteria, pap smears can now be done every 3 years instead of annually.
The guidelines were updated based on new technologies for examining cervical cells and a better understanding of HPV and its latency period. The aim is to reduce overtreatment while still effectively screening for cervical cancer.

3) Schemas can reduce the flow of surrounding information as the friends focused on their phones and filtered out unrelated stimuli like conversation and smells, preventing them from joining the group discussion.
This document analyzes a clothing advertisement that promotes gender stereotypes. The ad shows a man wearing a dress and caring for a baby unhappily, reinforcing the stereotype that men cannot or should not care for children. It also implies through its caption that the world would be in chaos if only men cared for children, showing prejudice against men's childcare abilities. Additionally, replacing a woman with an upset man caring for a child reinforces the stereotype that caring for family is exclusively a feminine role. This negative stereotyping can lead to job discrimination against women and highlights the importance of promoting gender equality and equal opportunities for both men and women.
1) The document analyzes a clothing advertisement that uses gender stereotypes to target women customers.
2) Specifically, the ad shows a dispirited man caring for a baby, reinforcing the stereotype that men are incapable of childcare.
3) The ad also suggests that caring for children is a feminine trait, reflecting the stereotype that women should stay at home rather than have successful careers. This can lead to job discrimination against women.

3. INTRODUCTION
Statistics is the study of collection, analysis, interpretation, presentation and organization of
data. Statistical analysis helps to understanding the possibility and making prediction based on
people’s understanding.
For this assignment, we need to choose one of the chronic disease and study how much
people understand about it and the awareness of people against it. After few discussion goes
through, we decided to choose Parkinson’s disease as our discuss topic. We need to focus on
female in two different age group which is 21-25 years old and 26-30 years old and study the
understanding level of each female age group on the Parkinson’s disease, which similar to ALS
but not commonly known by people. Our group consist of 4 members which is Chang Vui
Loong (Michael) , Loh Pey Mun, Lee Ern Hui (Michelle) and Liew Yu Xian.
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a progressive, neurodegenerative disease that belongs to the group
of conditions called motor system disorders. PD cannot yet be cured and sufferers get worse
over time as the normal bodily functions, including breathing, balance, movement, and heart
function worsen. Parkinson’s disease most often occurs after the age of 50 and is one of the
most common nervous system disorders of the elderly. The disease is caused by the slow
deterioration of the nerve cells in the brain, which create dopamine. Dopamine is a natural
substancefound in the brain that helps controlmuscle movementthroughoutthe body.
Through this survey, we are able to identify the awareness and understanding level of females
in Malaysia on Parkinson’s Disease within different age group. This also create awareness
among the people and take this issuemore seriously.
4. OBJECTIVE
This assignment allow us to understand more about using statistic to organize our data.
It’s also allow us to analyze data and also draw conclusion from the data. We used
mathematical principle such as frequency to make our data more accurate.
On the other hand, we also need to identify the understanding level of females in
Malaysia on Parkinson’s disease. We prepared different kind of questions to collect the data.
Besides that, we also need to understand more about Parkinson’s disease since it is not
familiar to most of the people but it’s similar to ALS disease. Last but not least, we also hope to
create awareness among peoples in Malaysia towards Parkinson’s diseasethrough our survey.

22. CONCLUSION
As in conclusion, the major purpose is to find out the understanding
level of females in Malaysia on Parkinson’s disease and create awareness
toward it. Through this survey we know that much of the young
teenagers haveno knowledge on Parkinson’s disease.
When we first choose Parkinson’s disease as our discuss topic, we
have no understanding on it. After many research when we creating our
questionnaire, we started to gain knowledge on Parkinson’s disease. We
found out that it’s similar to ALS but less awareness to people.
Parkinson’s disease is a progressive disorder of the nervous system that
affects your movement of all your body part. Parkinson’s disease cannot
be cure but can be reduce or slow down the symptoms if found early.
Throughout this survey we learned a lot of things such as teamwork,
data collecting and analysis, tabulating data and convert data into chart
and tables, apply mathematical principles in organizing data and also
transform datainto infographic.
Besides that, we also hope that more people will be more aware of
Parkinson’s disease and practice healthy life style to reduce the risk of
getting Parkinson’s disease.
