Imagine you are a manager at a major bottling company. Customers have begun to complain that the bottles of the brand of soda produced in your company contain less than the advertised sixteen (16) ounces of product. Your boss wants to solve the problem at hand and has asked you to investigate. You have your employees pull thirty (30) bottles off the line at random from all the shifts at the bottling plant. You ask your employees to measure the amount of soda there is in each bottle. Note: Use the data set provided by your instructor to complete this assignment.

Write a two to three (2-3) page report in which you:

1. Calculate the mean, median, and standard deviation for ounces in the bottles.
2. Construct a 95% Confidence Interval for the ounces in the bottles.
3. Conduct a hypothesis test to verify if the claim that a bottle contains less than sixteen (16) ounces is supported. Clearly state the logic of your test, the calculations, and the conclusion of your test.
4. Provide the following discussion based on the conclusion of your test:

a. If you conclude that there are less than sixteen (16) ounces in a bottle of soda, speculate on three (3) possible causes. Next, suggest the strategies to avoid the deficit in the future.

Or

b. If you conclude that the claim of less soda per bottle is not supported or justified, provide a detailed explanation to your boss about the situation. Include your speculation on the reason(s) behind the claim, and recommend one (1) strategy geared toward mitigating this issue in the future.

Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:

• Be typed, double-spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides. No citations and references are required, but if you use them, they must follow APA format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
• Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.

The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:

• Calculate measurements of central tendency and dispersal.
• Determine confidence intervals for data.
• Describe the vocabulary and principles of hypothesis testing.
• Discuss the application of course content to professional contexts.
• Use technological tools to solve problems in statistics.
• Write clearly and concisely about statistics using proper writing mechanics.

Please write a paragraph with your opinion based on the text bellow. Please include citations and references in case you need to used for the question.

Vulnerable population is defined as ‘a group or groups that are more likely to develop health-related problems, have more difficulty accessing health care to address those health problems, and are more likely to experience a poor outcome or shorter life span because of those health conditions (Maurer, pg 528). Populations that may be more vulnerable to health risks include “the poor, the homeless, the disabled, the severely mentally ill, the very young, and the very old” (Maurer, pg 528). However, not all populations who are “at-risk” for certain health problems are considered vulnerable. Picture an elderly patient who is “at-risk” for falls due to loss of mobility and recent changes in medication regimen. If that patient lives in poverty and doesn’t have the money or health insurance to assist in proper medical care, such as an assisted living or nursing home, that patient will be more vulnerable to falling and is predisposed to further injuries, such as a broken hip.

As a long-term care employee of many years, I do believe that this population can be considered vulnerable in many situations. May of our elderly cannot and do not advocate for themselves for different reasons. Sometimes it is because they simply cannot understand their health care needs and disabilities. Many elderly patients that I have taken care of, had early to end stage Alzheimer’s/Dementia. Some patients couldn’t hear the conversations being had about their care and feel guilty for “bothering” the doctor or nurses to repeat themselves, so the patient can hear and interact. As a charge nurse in the nursing home, I would be involved in care conferences for each patient in the building. This gave me a chance to speak with the patient, their family, physicians, social services and all other services for their care. It was a time to bring up concerns to families and advocate for meal changes, medication changes and whatever else the patient needed to achieve their highest quality of life.

Some ethical issues I’ve ran into in the past are when a patient is still their own decision maker, but their family is trying to be more involved in their care and have different wishes than the patient. Many times, the patient would ask for more comfort measure-based care, whereas the family wanted full medical treatment for their loved one. This can be a very difficult situation for both parties and as the nurse, it was my job to work together with both parties while advocating for the patient and come to a common ground with everyone.

According to Healthy People 2020, in 2014 there were 46.3 million people who were 65 and older, by 2060 they project 98 million people to fall into this same category. Some of the common chronic conditions found in this population include: “Heart disease, cancer, chronic bronchitis or emphysema, stroke, diabetes mellitus, and Alzheimer’s disease (Healthypeople.gov). Many elderly people struggle with 2 or more of these chronic illnesses. Programs have been started to assist the elderly in paying for services to better manage their conditions, such as the Older Americans Act program.

Description

You will begin by selecting a
controversial topic, which you will focus on for the duration of the
semester. Then you will identify two stakeholders engaged with the issue
who hold different views. Once you have identified your selected issue
and two stakeholders, you are ready to answer the guiding questions and
respond to the paragraph below the questions to complete this Part 1
Early Draft. Please download these guiding questions and the paragraph
response into a Word document, thoroughly answer each question in
complete sentences, and upload the document to MyReviewers by the assigned due date.

Questions/Steps

1. List at least ten stakeholder groups that have a voice or viewpoint on your topic.
2. Choose four specific
   stakeholder organizations and write their slogans or mission
   statements. You can find slogans or mission statements on the
   organization’s website. Be sure to cite your sources.
3. Analyze two stakeholder
   organizations that seem to have conflicting viewpoints on your topic.
   What are their viewpoints, and how are they different?
4. Stay with
   your two stakeholder organizations from question 3. What do they have in
   common? Describe the goals or values that the organizations share.
5. Given the
   shared goals and values that your two organizations share, describe a
   part of your topic that they could both agree on—that’s your common
   ground.
6. Explain
   how your two stakeholder organizations could achieve a compromise. What
   would each stakeholder organization have to contribute to reach this
   compromise? What would each stakeholder organization have to give up?
7. What needs
   to happen to accomplish your compromise? Prove that your compromise
   will actually work using research, such as articles that support your
   logic, that report on a similar situation in which your idea has
   previously been successful, or that prove the viability of your
   compromise.

In addition to your responses to the seven guiding questions (and on the same document you will upload to MyReviewers),
write a “working” thesis statement and 250 words about your stakeholder
organizations, their common ground, and your proposed compromise.

Respond to each one

Discussion 7

Chapter 3 draws distinctions between the functions of the family unit. Which of these functions is the most important to the maintenance of deep structure of culture? Why? Does your opinion create advantages for you? How does your position limit you? (For example, if I think ‘reproduction’ is the most important, I may be emboldened by the fact that I have 5 children. Or I may feel inferior if I’ve have no children.) Which one of these family functions, if any, needs more focus or cultivating in today’s society?

Discussion 8

Put the word family into an internet browser search engine and then select “images” to look at the photos, cartoons, etc. that pop up when we look up the word family. What do you notice about those ‘families’ that the internet determines are families? Are there any disturbing trends? Any reassuring trends? Choose one photo that came up in your search and analyze it based on the elements and qualities your book uses to explain the family unit. (Be sure to include a link to the photo or upload it directly in your post.)

Discussion 9

Chapter 3 discusses intercultural views regarding the elderly. Choose one of the photos in the “Intercultural Images” section of the Content area. How does the image support or go against cultural constructions of the elderly? Are the images surprising to you or affirming to you? How might the images be altered to make them more interculturally ‘traditional,’ in your opinion?
