There is often the requirement to evaluate descriptive statistics for data within the organization or for health care information. Every year the National Cancer Institute collects and publishes data based on patient demographics. Understanding differences between the groups based upon the collected data often informs health care professionals towards research, treatment options, or patient education. Using the data on the "National Cancer Institute Data" Excel spreadsheet, calculate the descriptive statistics indicated below for each of the Race/Ethnicity groups.  Provide the following descriptive statistics: Measures of Central Tendency: Mean, Median, and Mode Measures of Variation: Variance, Standard Deviation, and Range (a formula is not needed for Range). Once the data is calculated, provide a 150-250 word analysis of the descriptive statistics on the spreadsheet. This should include differences and health outcomes between groups.

White Paper Assignment Description In this assignment, you will do research to identify the priorities of the audience you will be speaking to. You will use the research you completed to develop the student handout as the foundation for a brief white paper that will speak to major clients or investors. You may opt to do this at the level of your general field (the program in which you are studying) or specific field (i.e automotive design, cybersecurity, data visualization, highway design, medical devices, or many more). While this white paper will cover many of the same issues you addressed in the first document you will complete this document in a way that speaks to this different audience. This should include the types of issues or problems probability and statistics are used for and the way it is involved in the process of your work. You will develop a cohesive document for the purpose of introducing this new audience to the contribution probability and statistics will make in the work you will do for them or for them to make money from investing in your work. As part of this assignment, you will be expected to present this in a way that is visually appealing to an executive-level audience, tells a story that is important to them, and is grammatically correct. Deliverable: A white paper of 600 - 1,000 words. Because I am looking for this to be visually inviting this should be 3 - 5 pages. (Your reference list does NOT count in the word count or the number of pages. For this document the reference list must be in the document - executives would not want to have to look elsewhere.) Writing Think through what you want to accomplish (address the assigned purpose) and how you will need to do it to reach and convince this audience. Organize your content, write, review, revise (make sure you are still on track with your purpose and audience). Proofread and run a grammar check then edit. Somewhere early in the writing process, you should start to think about visuals that may help you make your point and develop them in a way that is understandable to your audience. To help you think through the scope and structure of the content you need to develop to accomplish this look back to the reading on Executives. This chapter will provide insight into the scope, structure, purpose, and tone of the document. Your content will include 5 APA cited sources at a minimum. When creating engaging material having relevant graphics makes your document easier to look at, include at least two relevant images. Your images must be labeled and cited. Step 3: Develop a professional document This step may be done in parallel with or after the writing process. This document should be professional, have a clearly defined hierarchy, and feel inviting and easy to read (use white space, color, and graphic elements) Include a header and footer The header top left will have the white paper titleThe footer lower left will have your nameThe footer lower right will have the page number (this can be done with the tool insert/page number for the entire document at once.) You may opt to have a cover, but it is not required as it is usually only done for longer white papers. White Paper Examples and my comments on them. You may also go and search for white papers in your field. There is likely to be some difference in what is considered well done, particularly as it pertains to appearance based on the field you are in. For example, if you are likely to have government clients they are more likely to be conservative in terms of what you present whereas if you are developing a new computer application an investor is more likely to be looking for some creativity. Required reading and examples attached.

This assignment has 2 parts one is an essay and the other one is to make a presentation on it.PART 1: ESSAYThis essay fulfills the course requirement to conduct written research on a work of art or architecture, as seen in person. This work of art or architecture must be from the period covered in the course. Your topic does not have to be covered in the textbook, but it should be from the period of 1300 - Present. In your paper, you must provide a clear thesis and demonstrate your support for that thesis in your research.This assignment combines the required skills necessary for investigating a work of art, and the necessity of actually seeing those objects to that research. Therefore, in this assignment, you will be required to write about a work of art you have seen in person. For area museums that you can visit, access the Sources of Museum Visit link below.If you live outside of Northern Virginia or the Washington, DC Metro area, please contact your instructor for approval or ideas for museum visits in your area. You will need approval from your instructor to use online museum collections in lieu of an on-site visit.Referring to the museum catalog and/or label information (what contextualizes the important facts about the work of art), your research will expand upon one Important aspect of the work you learned from the museum.Details750 - 1000 words3 to 4 FULL pages, double-spaced and typed, in 12pt. fontImages should be submitted separatelyat least 3 sources (other than your text)Information Literacy.You must use this Research Resource Guide (Links to an external site.) to access the following credible academic sources on the basis of your research:booksdissertationsinterviewsjournalsmagazinesvideosWebsites and encyclopedic entries will not be counted as appropriate research sources. What is provided for you through the Research Resource Guide are the required, credible, peer-reviewed sources you will need for this assignment. If you are unsure of the legitimacy of any of your sources, please ask the instructor.DemonstrateYou must provide a clear thesis, which addresses an important aspect of the museum's context of the work. For example, the museum text may discuss a work of art's relation to social and political ideas within society when it was created it. If it discusses the artist's biography, you may discuss how the work of art related directly to that biography.Provenance is the history of ownership. In addressing provenance, you answer: Was the work commissioned and why? If not, why was it made? What were the artist's intentions? Provenance is also an important aspect you will find in the museum's information.How do factors like the historical context and location shape the meaning of the work?You must also discuss style. Remember that in discussing style, you are often referring to a period style or regional style. In order to discuss style, you must utilize formal analysis to communicate the work's key features. Give attention to the materials and techniques the artist used to effectively communicate their ideas. Those materials and techniques are also particular to time and place.The possibilities are endless, but you must demonstrate that you understand the existing and accepted interpretations of a work of art architecture. This essay should be thoughtfully responsive to the museum's research you encountered in your visit, and you will be expanding upon, or even arguing against, previous research.You must include MLA (Links to an external site.) citation style, with endnotes and a complete bibliography on two separate pages at the end of the paper. A full resource guide to MLA citation is also included in the Research Resource Guide.PART 2: PRESENTATIONPURPOSEEarlier in the class, you researched a work of art or architecture and discussed your findings in a Research Essay. Research Powerpoint will compile the important points of your research into a presentation for your classmates.DIRECTIONSYou will lead a bullet-point discussion on style, context, content, purpose of your chosen work and offer some insight into the use of formal analysis. During your discussion, you should not only introduce the basic facts of the work but give consideration to the following:Provenance: was the work commissioned and why? If not, why was it made? What were the artist's intentions?What are the interpretations of the work?How do factors like the historical context, location, artist biography, shape the meaning of the work?Remember that in discussing style you may refer to a period, region, or personal style.You may also include any other methodology for discussion that you think applies or is interesting, such as a psychological analysis, a feminist response, politics, science, etc.You may choose any application to create your presentation, but it must be in the format of a slide show and saved as a .ppt or .pptx file. Your presentation must include both images and bullet points to explain your artwork.This is an observational project. Your observations should be illuminated by the material from class, but outside research is required and should be utilized through the Research Resource link. Research findings must be properly cited and must be properly credited in your last slide. Please use MLA format.(See https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/747/01/ (Links to an external site.) (Links to an external site.))A typical project will spend the first 5 slides describing both the content and the form of the artwork in detail using at least 5 terms learned in class (ie. sculpture in the round, complementary colors, abstraction, etc.) and possibly providing some background about the artist (but not more than 1 slide).You should address how the form and content are interacting (ie. Does the artist’s choice of medium enhance or detract from the narrative/subject or the message they are sending to the viewer?). The content includes the narrative or story that is conveyed in the artwork.The rest of the project should be spent revealing new insights into the work that goes beyond the textbook. This is the essential findings of your research. In the next 5 slides, you should talk about the work's context. You may want to talk about the work’s significance – how it may be a political statement or shows an innovative style, for example. Feel free to compare your work to other works from this time frame, by the same artist or others.You can show historical photographs or diagram material that help to illustrate your points. Feel free to also incorporate videos into your slides.I suggest the following organization:(SAMPLE PRESENTATION)Slide 1: Title slideSlide 2: An image of your selected artwork (with artist, title, date, location)Slide 3: Bullet points describing your artworkSlide 4: More bullet points describing your artworkSlide 5: Image of detail(s)of your artwork, or background of the artistSlide 6: Bullet points describing the significance of the workSlide 7: Image comparison artworksSlide 8: Bullet points describing the comparisonSlide 9: More bullet points describing the comparisonSlide 10: Other images (different views of your artwork or historical images related to its context)Slide 11: Bullet points summarizing your major ideasSlide 12: Footnotes/Works Cited
