This strategic plan will be composed of identifying strategies and how they are used at the corporate, business, and functional levels of Whole Foods Market. The following areas will be analyzed: vision, mission, organizational background, long term objectives, strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. Vision and Mission Statement “The mission statement should define the purpose of the organization, customers, products or services, markets, philosophy, and basic technology” (Characteristics of a Mission Statement, n.d., para.7). Whole Foods Market is a company whose vision and mission statements are expressed through its core values. WFM focuses on providing the highest quality of natural and organic products, satisfying customer needs, promoting excellence in their team members, and exercising stewardship over shareholder investments. The mission also ensures to address their stakeholders by expressing social and environmental responsibility to the local and global communities. Background Organization John Mackey and Renee Lawson Hardy, owners of Safer Way Natural Foods merged with Clarksville Natural Grocery owners Craig Weller and Mark Skiles to form the original Whole Foods Market in 1980 located in Austin Texas. Boasting with a staff of 19 personnel, Whole Foods Market was seen as an immediate success due to the high demand for natural food supermarkets in the U.S. Today, the company is one of the top leaders in organic sells with more than 430 stores, throughout the U.K., Canada and 42 U.S. states (Whole Foods News Facts). The company continues to provide the best natural and organic foods while maintaining strict quality of standards.

Business Plan: Preserving the World through Fresh Foods
The initiative is a business plan that is aimed at establishing greenhouses which will grow different vegetables such as onions, tomatoes, lettuces, garlic, brassicas, carrots and different types of herbs. Food security is one of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the world is aiming to achieve. While food accessibility in the United States has not been a major issue, access to quality food has been remained to be an issue of concern among Americans (Rubatzky & Yamaguchi, 2012). Quality food is expensive and, therefore, not many people can afford it in the required amounts. The initiative aims at enhancing food security by the engaging in agribusiness hence developing crops that are safe for consumption at lower prices.
Vision, Core Beliefs and Culture
The vision of the initiative is to achieve food security in the United States of America by providing cheap quality vegetables for the entire American population. The mission of the initiative would, therefore, be to become a highly profitable company through the production of quality vegetables and making sales at affordable prices to all Americans. The first major core belief of the business would be accountability, which will involve taking responsibility for all the tasks associated with the company. Integrity is another significant core belief which will involve being committed to excellence, consistency, and honesty. Respect is another major core belief the company will uphold. Teamwork and transparency are also key to ensuring the company achieve its goals, mission, and vision.
Social Responsibility Commitment
The business aims at creating a culture of customer focus, whereby most decisions and activities will always focus on how they impact the customers. Customers’ needs will thus be a major priority in dictating the quality of products and also performing other important activities such as marketing, adverts, and channel for sales. The company will be socially committed to championing healthy food consumption, which is important in avoiding the possibility of various chronic diseases.
Comprehensive Venture Description
As stated previously, the venture will be an agribusiness company that aims at producing vegetables on a large scale. On a three-acre piece of land, the business aims at establishing greenhouses of different sizes and plant various vegetables that will be supplied in all the 50 states of the United States of America. The company will use some of the modern technologies in the establishment of greenhouses. Some crops will be grown while suspended and not necessarily having their .

Accessibiliy: Scalling Up for Global Access to Quality Products
Broadly defined as the ease of access to something at the time it is needed, the concept of Accessibility—especially as it relates to healthy foods—is one that’s become increasingly important.
The movement to improve access to healthy foods dovetails with the rising demand for better-for-you products, creating a heightened consumer demand for
quality ingredients and sustainable sourcing.
Here we view the data on the food insecurity and an overview of the supply chain perspective on generating greater access to healthier products - how to bridge the gap between high demand and access.

Marketing Plan
Vita-Go, Inc., a division of PepsiCo
1. Company Description
Vita-Go, Inc. is a division of PepsiCo which was formed by Jennifer Stieffenhofer, Christine Stear, Sally Swartz, Ryan Tate, Jonathan Vick, Jaclyn Wisecarver, and Teel Witt to develop, market, and promote a product that is inexpensive and convenient for the consumer to utilize on a daily basis in order to promote wellness. Initially, the line was introduced in the Lynchburg, Virginia market, spread to Maryland within the next 2 years, and to North and South Carolina within the next few years.
To the best of Vita-Go’s knowledge, Vita-Go is the only product/beverage on the market today that, with just one simple twist of a cap and a shake of a bottle, releases a daily dose of vitamins and nutrients equal to a person’s recommended daily intake of vitamins. What also sets the bar high on this product in relation to others is the availability of the product. While most manufacturers feel that their product can only be available in health stores, Vita-Go is not only available in health stores, but also grocery, convenience, and superstores.
2. Strategic Focus and Plan
“This section covers three aspects of corporate strategy that influence the marketing plan: (1) the mission, (2) goals, and (3) core competency/sustainability competitive advantage” (Kerin, Hartley & Rudelius, p.47) of PepsiCo.
Mission
Vita-Go’s mission is in line with PepsiCo’s mission which is "to be the world's premier consumer products company focused on convenient foods and beverages. We seek to produce financial rewards to investors as we provide opportunities for growth and enrichment to our employees, our business partners and the communities in which we operate. And in everything we do, we strive for honesty, fairness and integrity" (PepsiCo, 2015).
Vision
"Our vision is put into action through programs and a focus on environmental stewardship, activities to benefit society, and a commitment to build shareholder value by making PepsiCo a truly sustainable company” (PepsiCo, 2015).
Performance with Purpose
Just like PepsiCo, “we're committed to achieving business and financial success while leaving a positive imprint on society - delivering what we call Performance with Purpose. Our approach to superior financial performance is straightforward - drive shareholder value. By addressing social and environmental issues, we also deliver on our purpose agenda, which consists of human, environmental, and talent sustainability" (PepsiCo, 2015).
Goals
For the next five years, Vita-Go seeks to accomplish the following goals:
· Nonfinancial goals - “As a leading food and beverage company, we believe we can play an important role in helping people lead healthier lives”, (PepsiCo). Vita-Go’s bottle will be manufactured by PepsiCo. PepsiCo, as well as Vita-Go, seeks to achieve a healthier lifestyle by presenting vitamins on the market that allow customers to enjoy their vitamin in-take.

Introduction
There are countless low calorie microwavable food options in the market today that are available for purchase. As people experience a higher income, they can afford a better lifestyle than was previously accessible; therefore, people’s cooking style has changed. Instead of using traditional cooking methods, people now use microwaves to cook. With this microwave usage rise, a rise in microwavable food items has also occurred. With so many diverse products available it is so very easy to find and purchase a healthy choice of microwavable food. A low-calorie or healthy selection of diet choice is one that includes a good source of protein; in addition to containing a minimum of 3 grams of fiber (to satisfy), and also has no more than 600 milligrams of sodium (Zelman, n.d.).
Some of the manufacturer options are: Lean Cuisine and Healthy Choice. Both of them are major competitors in the frozen food market. Lean Cuisine, a part of Stouffer’s (which dates back to the 1920’s) was acquired by Nestlé 1981 and has since then expanded its market in the US, Canada and Australia. Lean Cuisine offers a wide variety of frozen foods and is one of the top choices for low calorie food (Nestle', n.d.).
Healthy Choice, manufactured by ConAgra, is another principal low calorie frozen food supplier. They are Lean Cuisine’s biggest competitor. The market segment is decided by three criteria which are the variables behavioralistic, psychographic and profile (Company history, n.d.) (Market segmentation, n.d.).
Behavioralistic segmentation variables are those that are pursued from product and buying patterns such as volume of purchase, brand loyalty, readiness to buy and frequency (to name a few) and may be judged to be the primary basis. This variable has the advantage of using variables that are intimately related to the product itself; it is a somewhat direct beginning point for market segmentation (Market segmentation, n.d.)
Psychographic segmentation variables are used when purchasing behavior compares with consumer lifestyle or personality. Consumers who hold diverse personality and lifestyle trends also become biased towards particular products. Their economic and social standing determine their choices (Market segmentation, n.d.).
Profiling is not the most important gauge for market segmentation. Upon determining the differences in the markets, it also must be decided what channel through which these are exhibited. Profile variables like socio-economic group or physical locations are extremely essential in choosing the target audience (Market segmentation, n.d.).
In deciding the market structure for the food industry, first one would have to keep in mind their target audience. It is vital to do a strong study of the economic growth of the entire food industry. Additionally, the.
Food Marketing A Primer
Marketing may be regarded as comprising four key elements known as the 4 Ps product, price, place and promotion. Food marketing describes any form of advertising used to promote the purchase and or consumption of a food or beverage. It can influence food behaviors by moderating socio cultural elements of the food environment. This paper provides a primer on food marketing. Matthew N. O. Sadiku | Tolulope J. Ashaolu | Sarhan M.

Marketing channels and channel partners
Goal = get a product to the customer when, where and
how the customer wants it.
Requires cooperating channel partners (or intermediaries)
that actively promote and sell the product as it travels
through the channels to the end customer.
Typical marketing channels
• Two major types of channel systems
• Direct channel— from producer
to consumer with no
intermediaries (farmer’s market,
internet if direct from the
manufacturer)
• Indirect channel — Any number
of intermediaries between
producer and consumer
• Many products have multiple
channels
Question: Wouldn’t fewer intermediaries be more
efficient and effective to get products to consumer when,
where and how they want them?
Answer: Some large retailers have been able to own more
of the channels themselves (disintermediation).
But, the channel member functions have to be performed
by some firm, but one firm can perform more than one
channel functions.
Only include channel members that add value for the
customer.
Functions performed by channel partners
• Disseminating marketing communications and promote brands
• Push versus pull strategy
• Sorting and regrouping products
• Storing and managing inventory
• Distributing products
• Assume ownership risk and extend credit
• Share marketing and other information
Marketing channel strategies
Factors affecting the marketing channel strategy
decisions
• Type of customer
• Type of product
• Channel partner capabilities
• Business environment and technology
Channel integration
• Vertical marketing system — formal agreements to cooperate
• Conventional marketing system — no formal relationships, all
independent operators
• Horizontal marketing system — Two companies at same channel level
agree to cooperate (usually for compatible but non competing products)
Channels versus supply chains — supply chains are channels that includes
the firms involved in distributing the raw materials for manufacturing.

Sample Summaries of Emily Raine’s Why Should I Be Nice to You.docx
Sample Summaries of Emily Raine’s “Why Should I Be Nice to You”
Sample Summary 1
Most people at some point in their life have worked in the service industry. This particular
industry can be quite satisfying whether it be working in fine dining, as a cocktail waitress, or at a local
diner, but for Emily Raine, who had done all of these things, the only place she ever felt “whipped” was
working as a barista at one of largest specialty coffee chains in the world (358). Raine is bothered by
how the café industry has set up the impersonal server/customer relationship and feels the best way to
solve the issue is be to “be rude” (365). In 2005, Raine expanded in an essay that appeared in the
online journal, Bad Subjects, on her frustration within the service industry and what good service really
means.
Good service in the coffee industry does not require much skill these days. Most people are
usually talking on their cell phone while ordering their daily coffee and pastry while also paying and then
out as fast as they walked into the café probably not even noticing or acknowledging any interaction
with the people serving. The coffee sector has recognized this and has set up the counters as linear
coffee bars that act the same as an assembly line. The workers are trained and assigned specific jobs in
the coffee preparing process, such as taking the order, handling the money, making the drink, to
delivery. This makes the interaction with the customer very limited, mostly just seconds. This is where
Raine feels some of the problem with the customer and server interaction. Although this is the most
effective and efficient way of working, Raine describes productive work as “dreary and repetitive” (359).
Since the 1960’s companies have been branding themselves with the quality of having “good
service” distinguishing them from the rest of the competition. Raines explains that in good service there
is an exchange between two parties: “the ‘we’ that gladly serves and the ‘you’ that happily receives,”
but also a third party, the boss, which is the ultimate decider on exactly what good service will be (360).
Companies in the service industry must market their products on servers’ friendliness; therefore
it is monitored and controlled from the people on top. Raine notes that cafés “layouts and management

workers stock options, health insurance, dental plans, as well as other perks of discounts and giveaways,

Executive Summary
The following report is an evaluation of multiple facets of the Uruguayan economy, its overall investment attractiveness, and feasibility of doing business. After conducting research and analysis on the country in areas such as legal frameworks, fiscal policy, trade relations, infrastructure, housing, and monetary policy, Uruguay proves to be an economy of strong opportunity when evaluated against its regional/continental partners, but with significant and pressing challenges that would place the nation lower when considered at a global level. The national government and political system are proven to be stable, offering legal protections and investment frameworks that are comparable to developed economies. As a member of MERCOSUR and independently, Uruguay has ratified trade agreements, particularly with developed nations and Latin America, in a variety of structures, namely goods, services, investment promotion and protection, public procurement, and double taxation avoidance. The country offers valuable exports, and derives its imports significantly from MERCOSUR members in which people, goods, and currency are permitted to move freely. Uruguay has shown strong numbers in growth, particularly GDP and unemployment rate. Having reacted appropriately to an economic and banking crisis in the early 2000s, Uruguay was one of the few countries that was not significantly impacted by the 2008-09 economic crisis. The housing market has also seen considerable growth and looks to continue growing as the level of foreign direct investment in construction increases. Challenges that have limited the country and are foreseeable as continuing to limit Uruguay’s attractiveness include a public banking system that offers limited access to credit, undesired volatility in prime rate lending, seemingly unsustainable fiscal policy, and a lack of coordination in monetary and exchange rate policies. Given the widespread availability and transparency of information on the country and having taken all these factors into consideration, we determine Uruguay to be one of best investment opportunities in terms of a Latin American scope, but as still significantly behind developed economies. A total score of 30.5 points out of a possible 55 was assigned.

Marketing Plan
Vita-Go, Inc., a division of PepsiCo
1. Company Description
Vita-Go, Inc. is a division of PepsiCo which was formed by Jennifer Stieffenhofer, Christine Stear, Sally Swartz, Ryan Tate, Jonathan Vick, Jaclyn Wisecarver, and Teel Witt to develop, market, and promote a product that is inexpensive and convenient for the consumer to utilize on a daily basis in order to promote wellness. Initially, the line was introduced in the Lynchburg, Virginia market, spread to Maryland within the next 2 years, and to North and South Carolina within the next few years.
To the best of Vita-Go’s knowledge, Vita-Go is the only product/beverage on the market today that, with just one simple twist of a cap and a shake of a bottle, releases a daily dose of vitamins and nutrients equal to a person’s recommended daily intake of vitamins. What also sets the bar high on this product in relation to others is the availability of the product. While most manufacturers feel that their product can only be available in health stores, Vita-Go is not only available in health stores, but also grocery, convenience, and superstores.
2. Strategic Focus and Plan
“This section covers three aspects of corporate strategy that influence the marketing plan: (1) the mission, (2) goals, and (3) core competency/sustainability competitive advantage” (Kerin, Hartley & Rudelius, p.47) of PepsiCo.
Mission
Vita-Go’s mission is in line with PepsiCo’s mission which is "to be the world's premier consumer products company focused on convenient foods and beverages. We seek to produce financial rewards to investors as we provide opportunities for growth and enrichment to our employees, our business partners and the communities in which we operate. And in everything we do, we strive for honesty, fairness and integrity" (PepsiCo, 2015).
Vision
"Our vision is put into action through programs and a focus on environmental stewardship, activities to benefit society, and a commitment to build shareholder value by making PepsiCo a truly sustainable company” (PepsiCo, 2015).
Performance with Purpose
Just like PepsiCo, “we're committed to achieving business and financial success while leaving a positive imprint on society - delivering what we call Performance with Purpose. Our approach to superior financial performance is straightforward - drive shareholder value. By addressing social and environmental issues, we also deliver on our purpose agenda, which consists of human, environmental, and talent sustainability" (PepsiCo, 2015).
Goals
For the next five years, Vita-Go seeks to accomplish the following goals:
· Nonfinancial goals - “As a leading food and beverage company, we believe we can play an important role in helping people lead healthier lives”, (PepsiCo). Vita-Go’s bottle will be manufactured by PepsiCo. PepsiCo, as well as Vita-Go, seeks to achieve a healthier lifestyle by presenting vitamins on the market that allow customers to enjoy their vitamin in-take.

Introduction
There are countless low calorie microwavable food options in the market today that are available for purchase. As people experience a higher income, they can afford a better lifestyle than was previously accessible; therefore, people’s cooking style has changed. Instead of using traditional cooking methods, people now use microwaves to cook. With this microwave usage rise, a rise in microwavable food items has also occurred. With so many diverse products available it is so very easy to find and purchase a healthy choice of microwavable food. A low-calorie or healthy selection of diet choice is one that includes a good source of protein; in addition to containing a minimum of 3 grams of fiber (to satisfy), and also has no more than 600 milligrams of sodium (Zelman, n.d.).
Some of the manufacturer options are: Lean Cuisine and Healthy Choice. Both of them are major competitors in the frozen food market. Lean Cuisine, a part of Stouffer’s (which dates back to the 1920’s) was acquired by Nestlé 1981 and has since then expanded its market in the US, Canada and Australia. Lean Cuisine offers a wide variety of frozen foods and is one of the top choices for low calorie food (Nestle', n.d.).
Healthy Choice, manufactured by ConAgra, is another principal low calorie frozen food supplier. They are Lean Cuisine’s biggest competitor. The market segment is decided by three criteria which are the variables behavioralistic, psychographic and profile (Company history, n.d.) (Market segmentation, n.d.).
Behavioralistic segmentation variables are those that are pursued from product and buying patterns such as volume of purchase, brand loyalty, readiness to buy and frequency (to name a few) and may be judged to be the primary basis. This variable has the advantage of using variables that are intimately related to the product itself; it is a somewhat direct beginning point for market segmentation (Market segmentation, n.d.)
Psychographic segmentation variables are used when purchasing behavior compares with consumer lifestyle or personality. Consumers who hold diverse personality and lifestyle trends also become biased towards particular products. Their economic and social standing determine their choices (Market segmentation, n.d.).
Profiling is not the most important gauge for market segmentation. Upon determining the differences in the markets, it also must be decided what channel through which these are exhibited. Profile variables like socio-economic group or physical locations are extremely essential in choosing the target audience (Market segmentation, n.d.).
In deciding the market structure for the food industry, first one would have to keep in mind their target audience. It is vital to do a strong study of the economic growth of the entire food industry. Additionally, the.
Food Marketing A Primer
Marketing may be regarded as comprising four key elements known as the 4 Ps product, price, place and promotion. Food marketing describes any form of advertising used to promote the purchase and or consumption of a food or beverage. It can influence food behaviors by moderating socio cultural elements of the food environment. This paper provides a primer on food marketing. Matthew N. O. Sadiku | Tolulope J. Ashaolu | Sarhan M.

Goal = get a product to the customer when, where and

Requires cooperating channel partners (or intermediaries)
that actively promote and sell the product as it travels
through the channels to the end customer.
Typical marketing channels
• Two major types of channel systems
• Direct channel— from producer
to consumer with no
intermediaries (farmer’s market,
internet if direct from the
manufacturer)
• Indirect channel — Any number
of intermediaries between
producer and consumer
• Many products have multiple
channels
Question: Wouldn’t fewer intermediaries be more
efficient and effective to get products to consumer when,
where and how they want them?
Answer: Some large retailers have been able to own more
of the channels themselves (disintermediation).
But, the channel member functions have to be performed
by some firm, but one firm can perform more than one
channel functions.
Only include channel members that add value for the
customer.
Functions performed by channel partners
• Disseminating marketing communications and promote brands
• Push versus pull strategy
• Sorting and regrouping products
• Storing and managing inventory
• Distributing products
• Assume ownership risk and extend credit
• Share marketing and other information

• Horizontal marketing system — Two companies at same channel level
agree to cooperate (usually for compatible but non competing products)
Channels versus supply chains — supply chains are channels that includes
the firms involved in distributing the raw materials for manufacturing.

Sample Summaries of Emily Raine’s Why Should I Be Nice to You.docx
Sample Summaries of Emily Raine’s “Why Should I Be Nice to You”
Sample Summary 1
Most people at some point in their life have worked in the service industry. This particular
industry can be quite satisfying whether it be working in fine dining, as a cocktail waitress, or at a local
diner, but for Emily Raine, who had done all of these things, the only place she ever felt “whipped” was
working as a barista at one of largest specialty coffee chains in the world (358). Raine is bothered by
how the café industry has set up the impersonal server/customer relationship and feels the best way to
solve the issue is be to “be rude” (365). In 2005, Raine expanded in an essay that appeared in the
online journal, Bad Subjects, on her frustration within the service industry and what good service really
means.
Good service in the coffee industry does not require much skill these days. Most people are
usually talking on their cell phone while ordering their daily coffee and pastry while also paying and then
out as fast as they walked into the café probably not even noticing or acknowledging any interaction
with the people serving. The coffee sector has recognized this and has set up the counters as linear
coffee bars that act the same as an assembly line. The workers are trained and assigned specific jobs in
the coffee preparing process, such as taking the order, handling the money, making the drink, to
delivery. This makes the interaction with the customer very limited, mostly just seconds. This is where
Raine feels some of the problem with the customer and server interaction. Although this is the most
effective and efficient way of working, Raine describes productive work as “dreary and repetitive” (359).
Since the 1960’s companies have been branding themselves with the quality of having “good
service” distinguishing them from the rest of the competition. Raines explains that in good service there
is an exchange between two parties: “the ‘we’ that gladly serves and the ‘you’ that happily receives,”
but also a third party, the boss, which is the ultimate decider on exactly what good service will be (360).
Companies in the service industry must market their products on servers’ friendliness; therefore
it is monitored and controlled from the people on top. Raine notes that cafés “layouts and management
styles” help create a cozy atmosphere that plays a factor in good service, but in a way that will not
disrupt the output (361). In Raine’s essay, she gives the example of an employee Starbucks has
branded; “The happy, wholesome perfume-free barista” (361). She points out that the company offers
workers stock options, health insurance, dental plans, as well as other perks of discounts and giveaways,
while also using moving personal accounts from workers who “never deemed corporate America could
care so much” (362). Raines also adds that the company does not give into unionization and although
the company pay.

Company Description
Seg and Cycle the City is a Koblenz, Germany based company specializing in offering rentals for recreational vehicles (Segways, bikes, tandems and inline skates), guiding and informational services to mainly tourists, locals and their visitors, students or for event entertainment purposes. The company will begin operations in April, 2010, as a Limited Liability Company (Unternehmensgesellschaft). The company will take advantage of the increasing popularity of Segway scooters: two-wheeled, self-balancing electric vehicles invented by Dean Kamen in 2001, as a new, more exiting and relaxing alternative to walking tours for tourists to enjoy the sights and atmosphere of the city. Also, the company will provide high quality MP3 Audio-City Guides to capture the large number of visitors who are more independent-minded, not willing to participate in guiding services offered by the tourism board of Koblenz and thereby gain significant market share.
Mission Statement
“Seg and Cycle the City is a speciality tour operator committed to providing a unique, entertaining, memorable and educational experience of the city that meets the needs of both kinds of tourists: those who seek a guided experience and those who are more independent minded.
We will take pride in doing our best to present our city tour in a memorable way and leave our customers with the image that Koblenz is a place to go back to. We will achieve this by building strong personal relationships with our customers during our guided tours and by suggesting journeys for the individual exploration.
As an advocate for sustainability, we want to promote the use of environmentally friendly transportation devices and, thereby, improve the image of our beloved city. We will also fulfil this mission of sustainability by providing an affordable opportunity for college students to rent a bike.”
Industry Analysis & Trends
The services provided by Seg and Cycle the City as a player in the service industry are affected by the developments in the recreational and sports equipment rental trade and by developments in the city and bike tourism industry in Germany, Rhineland Palatinate and, specifically, Koblenz.
Size and Growth
The personal service industry in Germany generally shows a stable performance with relatively stable revenue regardless of the difficult economic situation. A high employment rate, increased wages, and a decreasing inflation rate have increased disposable income, which especially benefits the leisure industry (German Chamber of Commerce e.V).The following graph shows that the service industry (blue line), as the leading sector concerning economic added value in the Koblenz (including surrounding communities) underwent major growth compared to other main sectors from 1992 to 2005. Since 2004, growth rate appears to be stable and rather low, but remains in a leading position.

SAMPLING MEAN DEFINITION The term sampling mean is.docx
SAMPLING MEAN:
DEFINITION:
The term sampling mean is a statistical term used to describe the properties of statistical
distributions. In statistical terms, the sample mean from a group of observations is an
estimate of the population mean . Given a sample of size n, consider n independent random
variables X1, X2... Xn, each corresponding to one randomly selected observation. Each of these
variables has the distribution of the population, with mean and standard deviation . The
sample mean is defined to be
WHAT IT IS USED FOR:
It is also used to measure central tendency of the numbers in a database. It can also be said that
it is nothing more than a balance point between the number and the low numbers.
HOW TO CALCULATE IT:
To calculate this, just add up all the numbers, then divide by how many numbers there are.
Example: what is the mean of 2, 7, and 9?
Add the numbers: 2 + 7 + 9 = 18
Divide by how many numbers (i.e., we added 3 numbers): 18 ÷ 3 = 6
So the Mean is 6
SAMPLE VARIANCE:
DEFINITION:
The sample variance, s2, is used to calculate how varied a sample is. A sample is a select number
of items taken from a population. For example, if you are measuring American people’s weights,
it wouldn’t be feasible (from either a time or a monetary standpoint) for you to measure the
weights of every person in the population. The solution is to take a sample of the population, say
1000 people, and use that sample size to estimate the actual weights of the whole population.
WHAT IT IS USED FOR:
The sample variance helps you to figure out the spread out in the data you have collected or are
going to analyze. In statistical terminology, it can be defined as the average of the squared
differences from the mean.
HOW TO CALCULATE IT:
Given below are steps of how a sample variance is calculated:
• Determine the mean
• Then for each number: subtract the Mean and square the result
• Then work out the mean of those squared differences.
To work out the mean, add up all the values then divide by the number of data points.
First add up all the values from the previous step.
But how do we say "add them all up" in mathematics? We use the Roman letter Sigma: Σ
The handy Sigma Notation says to sum up as many terms as we want.
• Next we need to divide by the number of data points, which is simply done by
multiplying by "1/N":
Statistically it can be stated by the following:
•
• This value is the variance
EXAMPLE:
Sam has 20 Rose Bushes.
The number of flowers on each bush is
9, 2, 5, 4, 12, 7, 8, 11, 9, 3, 7, 4, 12, 5, 4, 10, 9, 6, 9, 4
Work out the sample variance
Step 1. Work out the mean
In the formula above, µ (the Greek letter "mu") is the mean of all our values.
For this example, the data points are: 9, 2, 5, 4, 12, 7, 8, 11, 9, 3, 7, 4, 12, 5, 4, 10, 9, 6, 9, 4
The mean is:
(9+2+5+4+12+7+8+11+9+3+7+4+12+5+4+10+9+6+9+4) / 20 = 140/20 = 7
So:
µ.

The mean is:
(9+2+5+4+12+7+8+11+9+3+7+4+12+5+4+10+9+6+9+4) / 20 = 140/20 = 7
So:
μ = 7

1.1 Introduction
1. Rectifiers are electrical devices that convert an AC supply into a DC output through a process known as rectification. The theory of rectification has been around for over one hundred years, when early discoveries uncovered the unidirectional current flow (polarity dependent) in vacuum valves and crystal (solid state) devices. These devices were known as rectifiers; however the naming convention was changed in 1919 to diode. The name diode was derived from the Greek words ‘dia’ (through) and ‘ode’ (path). Comment by adtaylor: I don’t really think this sort of thing is necessary: the project report is supposed to be on investigating these devices or technology, not its 100 year old history.
When the marker sees this sort of thing, the first thing that springs to mind is that the student is padding out their report. It is very clear when this happens
2. Diodes are commonly known as switching devices; however due to there complex non-linear voltage and current characteristics, there applications have become numerous depending on the PN junction construction. Some special diode applications are as follows: Comment by adtaylor: This is good in an introduction, giving the reader some background on the device and what it does: this is the objective of this report after all
a. Voltage regulator (Zener diodes),
b. Tuners (Varactor diodes),
c. RF oscillators (Tunnel diodes), and
d. Light emitters (LED’s).

Introduction Comment by Jane Summers: Introduction – The first part of your essay should describe what happened, what did you do, what was your role and what was the role of others involved? In this section you also need to make clear what the ethical issue was and why it was an issue. This section should be short, concise and factual. There is no need for emotion or feelings at this point.
The purpose of this paper is to reflect upon an ethical issue that arose in my law firm. The paper discusses what happened, what the ethical issues were, how I felt at the time, how I went about dealing with these ethical issues including what ethical approach I subconsciously took, what caused me to take that approach and what ethical approach I would take if I was in the position again. I conclude with what I learnt from the reflective process.
In 2009 a lady, Fiona, and her grandfather, Paul, attended my law firm. Fiona said Paul and her grandmother, Mary, owned a house. They were worried that Fiona’s mother, Christine, (an apparent drug user) was going to try and force the grandparents into signing the house over to her and then evict the grandparents out of the house.
Fiona indicated they had mutually agreed that to protect the grandparents from the anticipated actions of Christine, the grandparents would gift the house to Fiona. Fiona, as owner of the house and presumably someone, whom Christine couldn’t stand over, would then let them stay in the house until they died.
Fiona told me that Mary was in hospital, very ill and slowly losing her mental capacity. They wanted the transfer of house to take place urgently. Based on what Fiona and Paul said, I drafted the necessary documents and the house was transferred into Fiona’s name.
There were three ethical issues. Firstly, should I accept the word of Fiona that Christine would try to force the grandparents out of the house; after all it could be Fiona herself who was out to deceive her grandparents.
Secondly, should I make enquiries about Mary’s mental capacity, perhaps even attend the hospital? However, as I was told this was an urgent matter, I prepared the documents immediately to be taken to Mary for signing.
Finally, should I have persuaded Fiona to get her own lawyer to avoid any conflict, after all I was there to look after the interests of the grandparents? Comment by Jane Summers: This introduction is concise, explains the scenario, identifies the ethical issues that were present and does not attach a value judgement or emotion to the information.
Feelings and Emotions Comment by Jane Summers: This next section is where you describe how you felt about the issue. You should discuss what were you thinking at the time, and perhaps the emotional state you were in when taking the actions you took or after the event occurred.
I had various feelings and thoughts about this issue at the time. Initially, I was sceptical of what I was being told by Fiona. It was hard for me.

SAMPLE GED 501 RESEARCH PAPER
Technology Based Education: How can theories of learning and/or development be used to guide the use of technology in schools?
Introduction
Twenty first century learning environment is no longer a goal, but an educational reality. We are deep into the midst of a paradigm shift that spans across our entire globe. The technology we live with as a society has exponentially grown at an increasingly rapid rate. This is illustrated from the integration of computers in every facet of our lives. This includes televisions, phones, cars, and even coffee makers which all contain a microprocessor, they all think. Even more startling is how connected we all are. Access to information is available at a finger’s touch. We can connect to people, we can shop, and ask for directions from anywhere at any time. We are tethered to the world by social media such as Facebook. Google has mapped out the entire earth. We can send a text message from the middle of Antarctica. Even more startling is how corporations and the government collects data as they track our ever movement as we go online. All this is reflected upon education, which mirrors this new 21st century society. No longer is the classroom isolated from the world, but it too is connected. Learning technology is critical more than ever because it impacts skills and productivity (Hall, 2011) for both the student and the teacher.
Background
Incorporating technology into the classroom has been around since computers were invented, but it has been only recently been the norm in the last few years. This revolution no more pointedly reflected in our education system, than it is today. Johri (2011) states that although digital information technologies in education has become commonplace, there are few guiding frameworks or theories that explains the relationship between technology and learning practices. Bennett and Oliver (2011) share that view. Research has focused on practical implementation versus the theory and application of the technology. They explained once theories are developed, a better understanding of effective technology based pedagogy would occur.
Technology in Education
I believe however, all the theorists play well with technology. Technology is merely a tool. Its strength is the ability to facilitate. John Dewey is a prime example. He believed in “learning by doing”. With an iPad there is an App where by students are able to see the stars and the constellation. With the use of satellites and GPS held within the piece of technology, students are able to view exact locations of stars. Where the iPad is directed in the sky, the stars would be in that location on the handheld screen, no telescope necessary. The students interact with the material to gain knowledge.
This is further illustrated by this second example. The best way to learn about Mayan pyramids is to actually visit one in Central America. With the use of laptops, students can connect to the Discove.

Effect of Technology on Enthusiasm for Learning Science
Jane L. Hollis
Lake City Middle School
Lake City, Florida
ABSTRACT
The effect of technology on students’ enthusiasm for learning science (both at school and
away from school) was investigated. Pre- and post-student and parent surveys, student and
parent written comments, and teacher observations were used to record changes in enthusi-
asm for learning science during a six-week study period.
In this study, I investigated how the integration of technology into my middle school
science curriculum would impact my students’ enthusiasm for learning science. Enthusiasm
for learning science can be defined as the students’ eagerness to participate in science activi-
ties in the classroom, as well as away from school. My motivation for focusing on technol-
ogy was twofold. First, I have had an interest in integrating technology into my students’
studies of science for some time. Secondly, the funding for technological equipment and
software recently became available. During the 1993–1994 school year, my school was
awarded a $115,000 incentive grant to purchase equipment and software and to train
teachers in the use of this software and technological equipment. One of the stipulations of
the grant was that the equipment and software must be for student use.
According to Calvert (1994), American education is a system searching for solutions.
Our children drop out, fail to sustain interest in learning, and perform below capacity. Some
have argued that television is the culprit. Others have argued that computers may be the
answer.
Today’s middle school students have grown up in a technological world with television,
electronic toys, video games, VCRs, cellular phones, and more. They are accustomed to
receiving and processing information through multi-sensory sources.
I wanted to bring technology into my classroom and incorporate it into my science
curriculum using multimedia computer presentations. Barbara ten Brink (1993) noted, “. . .
students look to us [teachers] to prepare them for an increasingly technological world.
Fortunately, with videodiscs, we are meeting the challenge by delivering curriculums in
ways that engage, motivate, and thrill our students.” In this study my students had an
opportunity to use assorted multimedia technology as they explored a segment of a middle
school science curriculum.
THEORETICAL FRAMEWORKS
Learning is an extremely complex human process. During my twenty-four years of teaching
I have used many strategies to enhance student learning and to teach new concepts. I am still
not convinced that I thoroughly understand how children learn. Yet, at this point, I do
believe children learn through experiences. They build on past experiences and previous
knowledge to process new concepts. As children redefine old understandings of concepts
and integrate new experiences into thei.

Case Study: Ft. Myers Home Sales
Due to a crisis in subprime lending, obtaining a mortgage has become difficult even for
people with solid credit. In a report by the Associated Press (August 25, 2007), sales of
existing homes fell for a 5th consecutive month, while home prices dropped for a record
12th month in July 2007. Mayan Horowitz, a research analyst for QuantExperts, wishes to
study how the mortgage crunch has impacted the once booming market of Florida. He
collects data on the sale price (in $1, 000s) of 25 single-family homes in Fort Myers,
Florida, in January 2007 and collects another sample in July 2007. For a valid
comparison, he samples only three bedroom homes, each with 1,500 square feet or less of
space on a lot size of 10, 000 square feet or less.
Excel data are available in Titanium page.
Use the sample information (appropriate descriptive statistics) to address the following
aspects. Your report should not exceed one page.
1. Compare the mean and median in each of the two sample periods.
2. Compare the standard deviation and coefficient of variation in each of the two sample
periods. Also incorporate quartiles.
3. Discuss significant changes in the housing market in Fort Myers over the 6-month
period.
Sample Case with a report
Dawit Zerom, Instructor
Sample Report
The steady stream of dismal housing market statistics lately is a clear indication that the national
real estate market is in a serious crisis. The uncertainty is also forcing lenders to slow down on
their lending, and as a result obtaining a mortgage is becoming increasingly difficult even for
people with solid credit. In light of this situation, Mayan Horowitz conducts a small study to
learn if the national trend also affects the once booming market of Florida by focusing on Fort
Myers, Florida. To see the trend of the housing market over a 6-month period, he obtains price of
25 single family homes in January 2007 and another comparable 25 single family homes in July
2007. Table 1 below shows the most relevant descriptive analysis.
The average home price in January of 2007 was $231, 080 versus $182, 720 in July of the same
year. That is about a 21% drop in the average home price. Also in January, half of the homes
sold for more than $205,000, versus only $180,000 in July (see the median). Since the mean is
more effected by outliers (in this case, a few relatively high prices), the median is an appropriate
measure of central location.
While measures of central location typically represent where the data clusters, these measures do
not relay information about the variability in the data. Both the standard deviation and the
coefficient of variation are higher in January indicating that home prices were more dispersed in
January. Further, while 25% of the houses were sold at the price of $158, 000 or less in Janua.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdf
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Running Head Whole Foods, Inc. .docx
- 1. Running Head: Whole Foods, Inc. 1 WHOLE FOODS 6 Introduction The purpose of this project is to provide a strategic plan for Whole Foods, Inc. This strategic plan will be composed of identifying strategies and how they are used at the corporate, business, and functional levels of Whole Foods Market. The following areas will be analyzed: vision, mission, organizational background, long term objectives, strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. Vision and Mission Statement “The mission statement should define the purpose of the organization, customers, products or services, markets, philosophy, and basic technology” (Characteristics of a Mission Statement, n.d., para.7). Whole Foods Market is a company whose vision and mission statements are expressed through its core values. WFM focuses on providing the highest quality of natural and organic products, satisfying customer needs, promoting excellence in their team members, and exercising stewardship over shareholder investments. The mission also ensures to address their stakeholders by expressing social and environmental responsibility to the local and global communities. Background Organization John Mackey and Renee Lawson Hardy, owners of Safer Way Natural Foods merged with Clarksville Natural Grocery owners
- 2. Craig Weller and Mark Skiles to form the original Whole Foods Market in 1980 located in Austin Texas. Boasting with a staff of 19 personnel, Whole Foods Market was seen as an immediate success due to the high demand for natural food supermarkets in the U.S. Today, the company is one of the top leaders in organic sells with more than 430 stores, throughout the U.K., Canada and 42 U.S. states (Whole Foods News Facts). The company continues to provide the best natural and organic foods while maintaining strict quality of standards. Mackey, cofounder and CEO believes Whole Foods Motto – Whole Foods, Whole People, Whole planet sets the standard for reaching far beyond just a food retailer. He attributes the success in fulfilling the vision by marketing high-quality natural and organic foods to communities helping to change the eating habits of individuals in a way that attribute to the longevity of life and health. In 2015, Whole Foods Market placed No. 18 on Fortune’s World’s Most Admired Companies’ list as well as No. 25 on the list of companies that have the best corporate, social, and responsible reputations among the U.S. public. COO, A.C. Gallo states “Whole Foods Market has consistently stayed true to its mission by putting a clear set of core values into practice that actively help make our planet a healthier, more prosperous, and more sustainable place” (Whole Foods Newsroom, 2015). Industry Analysis The natural and organic food industry continues to rapidly grow as the demand for healthier eating is on the rise. According to USDA, consumer demand for organic goods continues to grow by the double digits resulting in a total contribution of over 4% of total U.S. food sales (Organic Market Overview, 2014). Many surveys account for a variance of age groups who choose to shop for natural and organic foods. Genetically modified organisms seems to be the big push behind consumers wanting foods that are fresh and locally grown.
- 3. The industry analysis is based on Porter’s Five Forces Model whose purpose is to identify how much profit potential exists in an industry (Strategic Management, 2014). It shows the company’s strengths or intensities of external forces significant in the industry environment. The table below will identify the five forces and impact associated with each force. Five Forces FORCE EXPLANATION IMPACT Buyer Power This force involves determining how easy it is for buyers to drive prices down (Strategic Management, 2014). Strong force Supplier Power Supplier Power is accessing how easy it is for suppliers to drive up prices (Strategic Management, 2014). Medium Force Threat of Substitute of new Products or Services Threat of substitution is the force that identifies whether the products or services provided can be easily substituted Strong Force Threat of New Entrants Threat of New Entrants is where people can enter into the same market of the existing business” (Strategic Management, 2014.). Strong Force Rivalry Amongst Competitors This force identifies if competitors can offer the same products or services offered better than what is currently being offered (Strategic Management, 2014) Strong Force Buyer power – According to Food Marketing Institute, in 2015, the average number of trips per week consumers make to the supermarket is 1.5 (FMI, n.d.). Buyers typically don’t purchase
- 4. in large quantities, but do frequent the grocery stores regularly. Whole Foods buyers show a low switching cost and can find many of the products the company sells at their local competitors such as Trader Joes, Costco, or Wal-Mart. As well, customers can easily access product information being offered at Whole Foods to stay well informed about the products and prices of what’s being sold. Supplier power – The rise in organic and natural food products can cause limited supplies for the company and for this reason, suppliers could force the demand. However, Whole Foods Market suppliers include local, regional and national wholesalers and as a result, the variance in suppliers help to reduce the force behind the bargaining power of suppliers. Threat of Substitute of new Products or Services – The grocery industry poses a huge threat to Whole Foods. As a result, substitutes such as cheaper products which aren’t organic, or the option to dine at a restaurant can be cheaper than shopping at Whole Foods. These products makes it easier for customers to switch products. Threat of New Entrants – The food retail industry requires huge spending. There are several competitors such as Wal-Mart, Wegmans, Trader Joes, and Costco who all operate in the food industry. These companies also provide organic products at a more economical price. As a result, customers can easily be drawn away for better prices. Rivalry Amongst Competitors – The demand for more grocery food and health food stores are low as the industry is saturated with many options. The rivalry amongst competitors is really strong because food stores use special promotions, coupons, and reward programs to save money. Whole Foods occasionally offers such specials and as a result customers can easily switch for their advantage. References Characteristics of a Mission Statement (n.d.).
