Purpose of Assignment

The purpose of the assignment is to develop students’ abilities in using datasets to apply the concepts of sampling distributions and confidence intervals to make management decisions.

Assignment Steps

Resources: Microsoft Excel®, The Payment Time Case Study, The Payment Time Case Data Set

Review the Payment Time Case Study and Data Set.

Develop a 700-word report including the following calculations and using the information to determine whether the new billing system has reduced the mean bill payment time:

  • Assuming the standard deviation of the payment times for all payments is 4.2 days, construct a 95% confidence interval estimate to determine whether the new billing system was effective. State the interpretation of 95% confidence interval and state whether or not the billing system was effective.
  • Using the 95% confidence interval, can we be 95% confident that µ ≤ 19.5 days?
  • Using the 99% confidence interval, can we be 99% confident that µ ≤ 19.5 days?
  • If the population mean payment time is 19.5 days, what is the probability of observing a sample mean payment time of 65 invoices less than or equal to 18.1077 days?

Format your assignment consistent with APA format.

Rental-Car-Client-Server-Using-Java-RMI

/in /by

I have code from previous assignments but need the code transformed to meet new criteria.

This week, we have been looking at using distributed objects to build networked applications. Your next programming assignment is to design and build the rental car management system from week 3 using Java RMI.

During Weeks 3 and 4, you implemented a distributed rental car management system using Java TCP Sockets and object streams. The goal of this project is to use code from your TCP project and create a new implementation of the rental car management system using Java RMI.

The basic design approach is based on the fact that the client will be interacting with the remote interface provided by a remote inventory manager object. The first step of this project is to define the remote interface provided by the inventory manager. The public methods provided by your existing inventory manager should form the basis for your remote interface specification. At most, minor changes should be needed. If you are passing messages into your inventory manager methods, you should consider that some of the items in your existing message class would not be needed in the RMI environment.

Once you have a remote interface defined, you should create a remote inventory class that implements the remote interface. This class will contain most of the code from the inventory manager of your previous assignment. This class must be built as an RMI object, so remember to do all the things necessary to create a remote object.

Next, create the object server for your remote inventory manager object. Here you may not be using any of the code from the server in your previous project. Remember, all a remote object server needs to do is create an instance of the remote object and register it with the RMI registry.

Finally, you will need to create the client for your remote object. For this, you will start with the client code from your previous project which includes all the GUI and event handling code. Remove all the socket and data stream variables and setup. In the constructor of the client, add code to acquire a reference to the remote inventory manager. In the event handler, instead of using object streams to send a message, you will simply invoke methods on the remote object and process the values returned by those method calls.

When your system is running, check all four operations for correct functionality. Also verify that your system runs correctly for multiple active clients. Be sure to demonstrate your system to the instructor for approval and take screen shots of multiple active clients. When you have completed your project, turn in your cover sheet, screen shots, and all your source code.

Implementation

  • The first step is to define the remote interface provided by the inventory manager. The public methods provided by your existing inventory manager should form the basis for your remote interface specification.
  • Once you have a remote interface defined, you should create a remote inventory class that implements the remote interface. This class will contain most of the code from the inventory manager of your previous assignment. This class must be built as an RMI object.
  • Next, create the object server for your remote inventory manager object. All a remote object server needs to do is create an instance of the remote object and register it with the RMI registry.
  • Finally, you will need to create the client for your remote object.

Active Self Reflection as a Tool for Success

/in /by

Reflection is an active process that we must commit to in order to grow, develop and maintain a fruitful life. Socrates suggested that a person who does not reflect is not truly living, and their life will be void of quality experiences. We are not intended to passively exists and allow fate to have its devilish way with us. Quite the opposite! We must be active participants in our journey, and we must use reflection to help us achieve our short- and long-term goals. If we reflect on what we desire and why, and then move into action to achieve our goals, our lives will most certainly be worth living!

Prompt: Active Self- Reflection as a Tool for Success!

Reflect on your life and then consider something that you would love to add, change, or develop by the end of this term (about 13weeks). This aspect should be reasonable within the confines of your life, and you must be as specific as possible. You will have to include a thorough examination into why you chose this specific element of your life, what are the issues or obstacles preventing you from achieving this goal, and include a decisive and detailed action plan; i.e., the steps you will take to achieve your goal. Research must be included in this plan, so feel free to use any article we used in class or find your own. Be creative, use powerful sense-driven prose, and take risks!

Maybe you can possibly be write about procastination… If you know anything other you can make something up.

What-Is-Crime-in-the-Cyber-Realm-

/in /by

Kizza (2014) addressed network attacks and intrusions broadly as “cybercrime” and attributed them largely to moral and ethical deficiencies of the perpetrators. Lessig (2006) approached law in the network primarily in terms of computer “code” that defines what can and cannot be done with the network. In other words, Lessig found finds the issue of what defines a crime and who bears responsibility to be more ambiguous than does Kizza.

Search the Internet to find two examples of activities that meet the definition of cybercrime. (The LexisNexis Academic Database in the Library provides searchable access to a wealth of news articles and features.)

Then, briefly summarize your examples and apply and criticize Kizza’s (2014) and Lessig’s (2006) positions on what constitutes a crime and who is responsible for the activities described in your examples. Identify at least two stated or unstated assumptions underlying each of Kizza’s (2014) or Lessig’s (2006) arguments and specify at least two practical implications. Whose position better applies to each of your examples?

Support your analysis by citing specific statements by these authors or at least two outside sources. You may look ahead to Lessig’s (2006) Chapter 3 for more material.

Discuss and cite both course textbooks—Kizza’s (2014) Computer Network Security and Cyber Ethics and Lessig’s (2006) Code: version 2.0, and at least one additional, credible, scholarly source to support your analysis and positions. Use APA style guidelines, citing references as appropriate. Your paper should be two to three pages in length.

You are strongly encouraged to submit all assignments to the Turnitin Originality Check prior to submitting them and must be under 20%

Individual-Project-for-an-online-class

/in /by

You are in the role of project manager for a coffee franchise global expansion project. You plan to expand into three different countries. The magnitude of the project requires you to prepare for the project kickoff meeting and business negotiations with the project team who are potential partners from Mexico, China, and Saudi Arabia. You understand that these cultures are vastly different. They have different business customs, social protocols, and languages, so conducting business with each country requires a customized approach.

To prepare for your first outreach effort with each country, analyze the cultural similarities and differences that exist between the countries and the United States using Geert Hofstede’s Six Cultural Dimensions as discussed in class. Note that the three countries are characterized by collectivism while the United States has an individualist culture.

Create a bar graph and/or table that summarizes the key cultural dimension comparison. Then, compare and contrast each country according to your findings. Discuss the implications of the relative cultural dimensions. How might they impact managing the global expansion project? Remember that you are adapting your approach from a United States centric view. (400-600 words).

This assignment lays the foundation for IP4, where you will apply your findings to forming an effective global team.

Step One:

Visit Geert Hofstede Cultural Dimensions

Step Two:

Create a country comparison using the United States in first dropdown menu box to see the values for the six cultural dimensions. After selecting the United States, a second and a third country can be chosen in the second dropdown menu box. Keep the United States in the first box and then repeat for each country (Mexico, China, and Saudi Arabia) involved in the fast food expansion project to see a comparison of their scores.

Step Three:

Create a bar graph and/or table to highlight how the four countries compare to the United States by using the value scores under the comparison to create the bar chart. How to make a bar chart on Microsoft Word:

  1. Click “Insert” tab
  2. Click “Chart” in the Illustrations Group
  3. Select “Bar”
  4. Click “OK” to insert a chart and a spreadsheet will open alongside your Word document. The spreadsheet contains sample figures surrounded by a blue border. Column “A” contains data labels. The remaining columns contain data.
  5. Click a corner of the border. Drag it down or up to add or remove items from the graph.

Step Four:

Using your findings:

  • Explain Hofstede’s cultural dimensions.
  • Using the United States as a basis for comparison, evaluate each country’s similarities and differences relative to the franchise business deployment.
  • Discuss the implications for your initial communications within each country. For example, what is the impact of collectivism relative to individualism regarding management communication? Use Intellipath, MUSE, Beyond the Book. Live Chats and the CTU Library to help identify cultural characteristics that will be important during your first project meeting with each country.
