This document discusses the differences between attribute data and variable data. Variable data involves numerical measurements on a continuous scale, while attribute data describes non-quantifiable characteristics. Both provide benefits for analysis but attribute data is more useful for qualitative information like customer feedback, while variable data provides detailed measurements. The document also defines four levels of follower maturity in situational leadership theory based on ability and willingness to perform tasks, and explains how bins are defined in Excel's histogram tool by counting data points within intervals.

Value Creation
Sellers create value for buyers in the form of providing leading edge technology, state of the art products, timely services, ease of buying, and quality of relationships, services, and products. These values are usually related to company finances (but not for all criteria, as compliance, safety, and other factors can be considered). Sellers will create value for you as the buyer, given the RFP you have selected, and then in turn you will create value for your buyer (client).
Taking into considerations the RFP you have selected to work with during this course, answer the following two questions in detail. Submit this assignment as one comprehensive MS Word document of no less than 200 words.
1. What are the most important value add criteria your sellers can provide you in order to make your project a success?

Case Study
In March 1994, Randal Schwartz was indicted on three felony counts under the Oregon State Computer Crime Law and sentenced to 5 years of probation. 480 hours of community service, 90 days of deferred jail time, $68,000 of restitution to Intel, and disclosure of full details surrounding conviction to any future employer. The complaint against Randal Schwartz was brought by Intel Corporation, a multinational microchip manufacturer. The charges related to altering two computer systems without authorization and accessing a computer with intent to commit theft. Randal Schwartz is a perfect example of someone who does not fit into the stereotype of hackers. Anyone familiar with Perl will know Schwartz as the author of the definitive Perl instruction guide, Learning Perl. Schwartz is a frequent columnist for such technical magazines as Unix Review and Web Techniques. Randal Schwartz was a consultant for Intel in Oregon for three years before the indictment. Schwartz’s crimes are a result of what he says were “good intentions.” Although Schwartz is well respected in the community, he has been criticized for his unprofessional and irresponsible conduct as a consultant, thus being subjected to a lot of controversy. Schwartz claimed that because of jos travels and invitations to lecture on Perl, he needed an easy way to access his e-mail at Intel. Without seeking requisite permissions, Schwartz modified the systems so as to access his account outside of the organization. He also installed the Crack software on the systems, which enabled him to capture nearly 50 passwords.
In his defense, Schwartz argued that he was merely helping the company by checking the security of systems. This could have been an excellent explanation except for the fact that in police reports. Randal told the officers that thought he could be criminally prosecuted for these incidents. “When asked why he stole 40 or 50 passwords. Schwartz told detectives. “I needed them in case they caught me doing it and I knew they would shut me down, so the more passwords I had, the longer I could continue doing what I wanted to do.” Schwartz also admitted that this wasn’t the first time he had done things against Intel’s policy. He had been previously caught accessing the systems from outside the company and had been warned on several occasions.
Schwartz Case Study
Organizations need to be concerned with breaches of security from internal sources as much (if not more) as from outside sources. Employees and consultants in an organization often need sensitive information. How can the organization provide access, but still protect against improper usage of this information?
Read the Case Study at the end of Chapter 10. With your group, act as hired consultants and write a 1- to 2-page group report that determines what steps you would recommend for the company to ensure that their security policies are not violated. One of the CEO's goals is to keep from burdening the employees with ...

Dimensional data modeling is a technique for database design intended to support analysis and reporting. It contains dimension tables that provide context about the business and fact tables that contain measures. Dimension tables describe attributes and may include hierarchies, while fact tables contain measurable events linked to dimensions. When designing a dimensional model, the business process, grain, dimensions, and facts are identified. Star and snowflake schemas are common types that differ in normalization of the dimensions. Slowly changing dimensions also must be accounted for.

Qualitative research data is interpretive and descriptive in nature. The best way to organize and manage qualitative data is through coding or grouping the data to look for patterns in the findings. Good qualitative data management involves having a clear file naming system, a data tracking system, and securely storing data during and after the research process. Qualitative data collection methods aim to understand people's experiences through techniques like interviews, observations, and focus groups to gain an in-depth perspective.

Cpk indispensable index or misleading measure? by PQ SystemsBlackberry&Cross
Capability analysis is a set of calculations used to assess whether a system is able to meet a set of requirements. Customers, engineers, or managers usually set the requirements, which can be specifications, goals, aims, or standards.
The primary reason for doing a capability analysis is to answer the question: Can we meet customer requirements? To be more specific: Can our system produce consistently within tolerances required by the customer now and in the future?
Capability analysis involves two entities: 1) the producer and 2) the consumer. The consumer sets the requirements and the producer must be able to meet the requirements.

182 Chapter 10 Research and Tools
Introduction
In the management of service, you will have to do much research. It isn’t usually formal
and you probably won’t be wearing a white lab coat. Th e term research means investigating,
thinking logically, and determining a solution. Quality tools are the vehicles for
doing just that. Tools are the keys to unlock the doors of mysteries. Th ey provide organization,
logic, clarity, and insight well past what the mind could do on its own.
Th is chapter is divided into three main sections. Th e fi rst discusses the foundations
of performing research. Th e second discusses the use of tools and techniques
used in the service industry. Th e third covers external awards and certifi cations common
to the hospitality industry.
Setting Up for Research
Research is anything but haphazard. It is a formal process. It is scientifi c. It follows a
set of steps that allow it to be standardized and critiqued for validity. In setting up for
research, there are criteria that need to be established to ensure a successful experiment.
We can refer to these casually as the why, what, who, and how of research
experiments (Figure 10.1 ). Th eir more formal labels and explanations are listed below.

FIGURE 10.1 The Why, What, Who, and How of Research.
WHY: COLLECT BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Collecting background information is crucial to any research. It identifi es areas of concern
that help to establish a starting point and build a case for the direction of future
investigation. Without it, you are guessing or ‘shooting in the dark’.
You can begin an analysis by asking questions such as:
■ Are you providing wants and needs?
■ What’s involved in your service?
■ What is good, what is bad, and what can be.
1. The document discusses various techniques for measuring qualitative variables and converting them into quantitative data that can be analyzed, including measurement, scaling, and different levels of measurement scales.
2. There are four main levels of measurement scales: nominal scale, ordinal scale, interval scale, and ratio scale, with ratio being the highest level and nominal being the lowest.
3. Scaling techniques can be comparative, involving comparisons between objects, or non-comparative where respondents evaluate single objects independently. Common techniques include Likert scales, semantic differential scales, and paired comparisons.
This document discusses various market analysis tools used in new product development (NPD). It describes tools for idea generation, product optimization, marketing mix optimization, and market prediction. Specific tools covered include brainstorming, the Delphi technique, focus groups, user observation, conjoint analysis, concept testing, prototyping, and diffusion models. The document provides details on how each tool is used, its process, advantages, and disadvantages to help product developers select the right tools for analyzing markets and predicting new product success.
The document discusses the process of data preparation for analysis. It involves checking data for accuracy, developing a database structure, entering data into the computer, and transforming data. Key steps include logging incoming data, screening for errors, generating a codebook to document the database structure and variables, entering data using double entry to ensure accuracy, and transforming data through handling missing values, reversing items, calculating scale totals, and collapsing variables into categories.
This document discusses the essentials of measurement in marketing research. It covers the role of measurement, the four basic levels of scales (nominal, ordinal, interval, ratio), scale development and its importance in gathering primary data. It also discusses question development including defining concepts and attributes, generating questions and response formats, and pretesting questionnaires. The goal of measurement is to provide a valid and reliable description of what is being measured.

Cpk indispensable index or misleading measure? by PQ SystemsBlackberry&Cross
Capability analysis is a set of calculations used to assess whether a system is able to meet a set of requirements. Customers, engineers, or managers usually set the requirements, which can be specifications, goals, aims, or standards.
The primary reason for doing a capability analysis is to answer the question: Can we meet customer requirements? To be more specific: Can our system produce consistently within tolerances required by the customer now and in the future?
Capability analysis involves two entities: 1) the producer and 2) the consumer. The consumer sets the requirements and the producer must be able to meet the requirements.

182 Chapter 10 Research and Tools
Introduction
In the management of service, you will have to do much research. It isn’t usually formal
and you probably won’t be wearing a white lab coat. Th e term research means investigating,
thinking logically, and determining a solution. Quality tools are the vehicles for
doing just that. Tools are the keys to unlock the doors of mysteries. Th ey provide organization,
logic, clarity, and insight well past what the mind could do on its own.
Th is chapter is divided into three main sections. Th e fi rst discusses the foundations
of performing research. Th e second discusses the use of tools and techniques
used in the service industry. Th e third covers external awards and certifi cations common
to the hospitality industry.
Setting Up for Research
Research is anything but haphazard. It is a formal process. It is scientifi c. It follows a
set of steps that allow it to be standardized and critiqued for validity. In setting up for
research, there are criteria that need to be established to ensure a successful experiment.
We can refer to these casually as the why, what, who, and how of research
experiments (Figure 10.1 ). Th eir more formal labels and explanations are listed below.
Why:
Collect
Background
Information
What:

FIGURE 10.1 The Why, What, Who, and How of Research.
WHY: COLLECT BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Collecting background information is crucial to any research. It identifi es areas of concern
that help to establish a starting point and build a case for the direction of future
investigation. Without it, you are guessing or ‘shooting in the dark’.
You can begin an analysis by asking questions such as:
■ Are you providing wants and needs?
■ What’s involved in your service?
■ What is good, what is bad, and what can be.
1. The document discusses various techniques for measuring qualitative variables and converting them into quantitative data that can be analyzed, including measurement, scaling, and different levels of measurement scales.
2. There are four main levels of measurement scales: nominal scale, ordinal scale, interval scale, and ratio scale, with ratio being the highest level and nominal being the lowest.
3. Scaling techniques can be comparative, involving comparisons between objects, or non-comparative where respondents evaluate single objects independently. Common techniques include Likert scales, semantic differential scales, and paired comparisons.
This document discusses various market analysis tools used in new product development (NPD). It describes tools for idea generation, product optimization, marketing mix optimization, and market prediction. Specific tools covered include brainstorming, the Delphi technique, focus groups, user observation, conjoint analysis, concept testing, prototyping, and diffusion models. The document provides details on how each tool is used, its process, advantages, and disadvantages to help product developers select the right tools for analyzing markets and predicting new product success.
The document discusses the process of data preparation for analysis. It involves checking data for accuracy, developing a database structure, entering data into the computer, and transforming data. Key steps include logging incoming data, screening for errors, generating a codebook to document the database structure and variables, entering data using double entry to ensure accuracy, and transforming data through handling missing values, reversing items, calculating scale totals, and collapsing variables into categories.
This document discusses the essentials of measurement in marketing research. It covers the role of measurement, the four basic levels of scales (nominal, ordinal, interval, ratio), scale development and its importance in gathering primary data. It also discusses question development including defining concepts and attributes, generating questions and response formats, and pretesting questionnaires. The goal of measurement is to provide a valid and reliable description of what is being measured.

PrejudiceAlthough related, stereotypes and prejudice are separ.docxIRESH3
Prejudice
Although related, stereotypes and prejudice are separate entities.
Prejudice
is holding negative feelings for a group of people, or even a particular person, and is often considered the “emotional component to intergroup attitudes” (Levy & Hughes, 2009, p. 24). As mentioned in the previous week,
stereotyping
is the “cognitive process of intergroup attitudes,” generally referring to associating attributes to a particular group (Levy & Hughes, 2009, p. 24). The presence of stereotypes or intergroup bias leads to prejudiced behavior in some instances. When prejudice behavior does occur, the individual’s emotional response often plays a role.
For this Discussion, review the media
Prejudice
and consider how the emotions and stereotyping of the people in the media impacted their prejudiced behavior.

Then, describe any prejudiced behavior you observed and explain two ways the emotions of hte people in the media may have impacted their prejudiced behavior and why. Next, explain how the prejudice you observed in the media reinforced or disconfirmed stereotype content. Finally, explain how this information helps us understand the maintenance of group attitudes over time and situation.

Running head: THE EFFECTS OF POPULATION DENSITY AND NOISE The Effects of Population Density and Noise
Renu Kumar
PSY/460
November 3, 2013 Christine Hander The
Effects of Population Density and Noise Population density and noise
can have many
effects
on individuals.
Population density
is
the
amount
of
people, which live in a particular area. Along with population density, comes noise; noise is typically an unwanted distraction. In this paper the subject to discuss is
the concepts of territoriality, privacy, and personal space; examine how the concepts of territoriality, privacy, and personal space have become increasingly important as
populations become
denser; clarify the effect nature has on individuals living in urban environments, describe the concept of noise and examine the effect it has on individuals; and examine strategies that can be used to reduce noise in the workplace or in the living environment. Concepts of
Territoriality,
Privacy, and Personal Space
Territories are areas
marked and defended by
their owners
and
often
used for life- sustaining activities
(Territoriality, 2004). The most common example of a person's territory would be his or her home because one tends to personalize and defend what is theirs. A person identifies themselves with his or her territory and any threat to that territory feels like a threat to themselves (Territoriality, 2004). A person feels connected to his or her territory and sees it as a means to satisfying his or her needs within society. Privacy is the selective control of access to oneself and group (Privacy, 2004). A person has the ability to decide who to allow in his or her territory or personal space. A person's
personal space

Precedents Set By George Washington
George Washington was aware that many of his actions would be regarded as precedents. Here are three precedents that Washington established:
Washington created the first Presidential Cabinet. Who was on the Cabinet, and what Departments did they represent? Who is on the Cabinet today, and what Departments do they represent?
Washington was the first President to leave office after two terms. Is that precedent still followed today? Why or why not?
Washington was the first to establish foreign policy, and issued the Proclamation of Neutrality. What situation did this proclamation address? What agency advises the President on foreign policy today? What is the role of this agency?

Prejudice, Stereotypes, and DiscriminationIn many cases, prejudice.docxIRESH3
Prejudice, Stereotypes, and Discrimination
In many cases, prejudice stems from the unknown. As individuals, we tend to migrate toward those who may look like us, act like us, and think like us. As a result, it may be difficult for us to open our minds and embrace those whose values, beliefs, and overall sense of self differ from our own.
For this assignment, compose a paper that is three to four pages in length. In your paper, discuss the impacts of prejudice, stereotypes, and discrimination in the context of social psychology. Be sure to address the following points:
1. Define and describe the following terms: prejudice, stereotype, discrimination, and ingroup vs. outgroup. Based on your own experiences in the social world, can you relate to any of these terms? Do you identify with a particular term? Why or why not?
2. Examine the social, cognitive, and societal origins of prejudice and stereotypes. Be sure to include specific information regarding categorization, such as ingroup favoritism and the outgroup homogeneity effect, norms, competition for resources, and social inequalities. Of the categories presented, which do you think are the most significant in our society and in your particular community?
3. Analyze the influences that promote stereotyping, and offer strategies to reduce prejudice. What are the consequences of stereotyping and discrimination? Who does this behavior hurt, and in what ways does it hurt them? Are we inadvertently creating self-fulfilling prophecies in our society? If so, how can we take steps to improve attitudes, judgments, and behaviors?
Your paper must include an introduction, a thesis statement, and a conclusion. Your completed assignment should be three to four pages in length (excluding title and reference pages), include a minimum of three references, and follow APA guidelines as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

QUESTION 11. Discuss the differences between attributes and vari.docx
1. QUESTION 1
1. Discuss the differences between attributes and variables data.
Both variable data and attribute data measure the state of an
object or a process, but the kind of information that each
describes differs. Variable data involve numbers measured on a
continuous scale, while attribute data involve characteristics or
other information that you can't quantify. Each has its own
benefits over the other.

Variable Data
Variable data include numerical measurements about a product
or item, such as its size, weight or age. The measurements for a
70-inch television, foot-long ruler, or a turkey that weighs 10
pounds are all examples of variable data. You can also get
averages from this kind of data, such as an average age for a
population in a city or the average temperature on any given day
of the year.
Attribute Data
Attribute data consider the quality of a product or item rather
than quantifiable numbers. They provide ancillary information
about these things, such as the color or finish of a product.
Attribute data may also include a count of some sort, such as
the number of people who go to the movies, or how many
products manufactured by a machine are defective. You cannot
use attribute data to calculate other information, such as
averages or rankings.
Benefits of Variable Data
Variable data provide detailed and concrete information about a
2. product. In contrast, attribute data may be obscure or unhelpful.
For example, if nails need to be made to a one-inch
specification, with a leeway of 0.1-inches either way, variable
data about each nail would provide the exact length. Attribute
data would only state whether each nail fit the specification or
not. It wouldn't state whether the nail was too long or too short.
Benefits of Attribute Data
Attribute data are often more helpful when qualitative
information is needed. Examples include the state of an object,
non-numerical characteristics and customer feedback. For
example, the attribute data might count the number of people
who shop at a specific store, or the size of a product, such as a
small or large serving of food. Attribute data are useful for
analysis as you can use attribute data to create ratios,
percentages or charts, whereas variable data don't lend itself as
freely to this.

Moderate to High
The group or individual is able but not willing to do the given
task.
M4
High
The group or individual is able and willing to do the given task.
QUESTION 3
1. In Excel’s Histogram tool, how are bins defined?
Bin numbers These numbers represent the intervals that you
want the Histogram tool to use for measuring the input data in
the data analysis.
When you use the Histogram tool, Excel counts the number of
data points in each data bin. A data point is included in a
particular bin if the number is greater than the lowest bound and
equal to or less than the greatest bound for the data bin. If you
omit the bin range, Excel creates a set of evenly distributed bins
between the minimum and maximum values of the input data.
The output of the histogram analysis is displayed on a new
worksheet (or in a new workbook) and shows a histogram table
and a column chart that reflects the data in the histogram table.
QUESTION 4
Describe concurrent engineering.
Concurrent engineering, also known as simultaneous
engineering, is a method of designing and developing products,
in which the different stages run simultaneously, rather than
consecutively. It decreases product development time and also
the time to market, leading to improved productivity and
reduced costs.
Concurrent Engineering is a long term business strategy, with
4. long term benefits to business. Though initial implementation
can be challenging, the competitive advantage means it is
beneficial in the long term. It removes the need to have multiple
design reworks, by creating an environment for designing a
product right the first time round.
QUESTION 5
1. List the six basic steps involved in building the house of
quality.
The house of quality relates customer attributes to technical
features to ensure that all design decisions are based on the
customer needs.
House of quality development consists of six basic steps:
1. Identify customer attributes
2. Identify technical features
3. Relate customer attributes to technical features
4. Conduct an evaluation of the competing product
5. Evaluate technical features and develop targets
6. Determine which technical features to deploy in the
remainder of the production process.
Identify customer attributes
During identification of customer needs, information collected
from the customers becomes very important. In applying QFD,
it is important to keep the customer's own words so that they are
not misinterpreted by designers and engineers. In many cases,
all customers are not end users; in such situations, need of end
users and other affected customers should also be collected and
attributes should be identified based on complete information.
Identify technical features
Technical features are design attributes or quality
characteristics, expressed in the language of designers and
engineers, which form the basis for subsequent design,
production, supply and servicing processes. Technical features
5. should be objective and measurable.
Relate the customer attributes to technical features
A relationship matrix is developed to show whether final
technical features adequately cover the customer attributes. The
assessment is made on the basis of experience of experts,
customer responses or controlled experiments. Customer
attributes are listed down in the left column of House of Quality
and technical features are written across the top. Some symbols
are used in the matrix to indicate the degree of relationship.
Technical features can affect several customer attributes. The
lack of strong relationship between a customer attribute and
relevant technical attribute means the attribute is not adequately
addressed and the final product may not be able to meet the
customer needs. If a technical feature does not affect any
customer attribute, it may be redundant or the designers might
have missed some important customer attributes.
Evaluate competing product
In this step, importance ratings of each customer attributes are
identified and evaluation of the existing competing products is
made on each of the attributes. Competitive evaluation helps in
identification of strengths and weaknesses of each product.
This step helps designers to seek opportunities for improvement
to make the best product. By improving the quality of design,
the designers can create the most competitive products.
Evaluate technical features and develop quality goals
Technical features are evaluated by testing of the product and
quality goals are set in measurable terms. These evaluations are
compared with competitive evaluation of customer attributes to
determine consistency between customer evaluations and
technical evaluations.

Social worker notes
6/14/x Tried talking with patient when she was in her
wheelchair by the nurses station. She was angry
and I was unable to have a conversation with her. A few
minutes later she was in the dining
room and came with me into the library. Her mood had changed
drastically and I was able to
review the Bill of Rights. Patient was pleasant but her answers
were short phrases.
Patient would like to return to her home. Explained to patient
that a decision was made with
48. her, her family and her physician to spend some time in this
facility after her stay in the hospital.
The ultimate plan is for her return to her home to be with her
husband. Son requests a Care
Conference and it is scheduled for 6/18/xx.

PT
6/16/xx Resident is independent in bed mobility. Transfers with
standby assistance. Walks 50’ with
wheeled walker and stand-by assistance. Balance is good.
Distance depends on whether she
is SOB. Was SOB today. Pulse was OK. States that the
humidity makes breathing difficult.
50. OT notes
6/17/xx Jane has been pleasant and cooperative. Occasionally
she has SOB and decreased
endurance due to high humidity weather. Overall demonstrates
improving strength,
endurance and standing tolerance through increasing weights,
repeated exercises, and
increasing standing time. Resident would benefit from
continued occupational therapy.

Care Conference 6/18/xx
Son states that his mother wants to be near his father who lives
in Northwild, about 30 miles
away but his father would not be able to care for her and she is
not yet a candidate for home
health. There is a long term care facility a short distance from
their home with a current opening
at this time. The son believes that his mother would be much
happier if a transfer could be
made as soon as possible. Arrangements will be made.

51. 6/18/xx Physical and Occupational Therapy Discharge Summary
Jane received physical and occupational therapy from the time
she was admitted to our facility
through her discharge. She progressed from assistance of 1
with transfers and ambulation to
minimal assistance only. She is independent in bed mobility.
Strength has improved, as has her
endurance. The resident can ambulate 100 to 150 feet with a
wheeled walker. She can
ambulate without a walker, but gait pattern is poor. Her largest
remaining problem is shortness
of breath, and this limits her activity level. We have been
unable to have her become completely
independent of the wheelchair because of this.
Our recommendations are that Jane continue to ambulate at least
1 to 2 times/day, and
that she be encourage to participate in her cares as much as
possible.
