Review the following example: Example: Compared the smoking cessation rates for smokers randomly assigned to use a nicotine patch versus a placebo patch.  Null: There is no difference in smoking rates from smokers who were randomly assigned to a nicotine patch and those assigned to a placebo patch. Alternative: There is a difference in smoking rates from smokers who were randomly assigned to a nicotine patch and those assigned to a placebo patch. Using your dissertation work, develop your null and alternative hypotheses that are written in correct form and measurable.  Once these have been developed, determine the descriptive and inferential statistics you will use.  Include a brief written explanation of how this might be analyzed WHAT I COMPLETED SO FAR Null: There is no difference in the production rates of employees who work in a traditional office setting and those who work remotely. Alternative: There is a difference in production rates from employees who work in a traditional office setting and those who work remotely.  The variables being tested during this study is the production rates, telecommuting workers, and traditional office workers. This will be analyzed through surveys with human resources departments are various organizations in the Pittsburgh area. Many of the selected organizations switched from a traditional office setting to telecommuting during the Covid 19 pandemic which provides recent and accurate data available for the study. 

Instructions The major shopping areas in the community of Springdale include Springdale Mall, West Mall, and the downtown area on Main Street. A telephone survey has been conducted to identify strengths and weaknesses of these areas and to find out how they fit into the shopping activities of local residents. The 150 respondents were also asked to provide information about themselves and their shopping habits. The data are provided in the file SHOPPING. The variables in the survey can be found in the file CODING.In this exercise, some of the estimation techniques presented in the module will be applied to the Springfield Shopping survey results. You may assume that these respondents represent a simple random sample of all potential respondents within the community, and that the population is large enough that application of the finite population correction would not make an appreciable difference in the results.Managers associated with shopping areas like these find it useful to have point estimates regarding variables describing the characteristics and behaviors of their customers. In addition, it is helpful for them to have some idea as to the likely accuracy of these estimates. Therein lies the benefit of the techniques presented in this module and applied here.1.Item C in the description of the data collection instrument lists variables 7, 8, and 9, which represent the respondent’s general attitude toward each of the three shopping areas. Each of these variables has numerically equal distances between the possible responses, and for purposes of analysis they may be considered to be of the interval scale of measurement.1.Determine the point estimate, and then construct the 95% confidence interval for μ7 = the average attitude toward Springdale Mall.2.Repeat part (a) for μ8 and μ9, the average attitudes toward Downtown and West Mall, respectively.2.Given the breakdown of responses for variable 26 (sex of respondent), determine the point estimate, and then construct the 95% confidence interval for p26 = the population proportion of males.3.Given the breakdown of responses for variable 28 (marital status of respondent), determine the point estimate, and then construct the 95% confidence interval for p28 = the population proportion in the “single or other” category.4.Assume the managers have requested estimates of the mean attitudes towards each mall with a margin of error of 0.05 for each. If the managers want to have 95% confidence that the sample mean will fall within this margin of error, how large should the sample size be for each mall?RequirementsMust answer questions in detailMust include Excel Worksheet that proves work!

According to the textbook, nurses in various settings are adopting a research-based (or evidence-based) practice that incorporates research findings into their decisions and interactions with clients. How do you see this being applied in your workplace?
