During the investigation process, investigators questioned each person who became ill and who also ate ham and/or potatoes, howmany slices of ham and how many potatoes they ate. Using the information below:

3) Calculate the mean, median, mode, and range of the amount of ham and the amount of potatoes.

Number of slices of ham eaten:

1, 3, 4, 2, 1, 2, 2, 2, 4, 5, 3, 2, 4, 1, 2, 6, 2, 4, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 1, 2, 2

Number of potatoes eaten:

4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 1, 9, 6, 8, 4, 10, 14, 6, 4, 3, 2, 7, 3, 1, 7, 5, 9, 4, 15, 5, 5

4) For each food item, calculate the total percentage of people who became ill. (Total number of people who became ill divided by the total number of people).

5). Discuss your findings and explain how the study of epidemiology and use of descriptive statistics can assist in disease prevention. Submit your response as an APA page (at least one page) not counting the title page and reference page.

6). Submit all parts for grading.

1. Choose a specific grade and concept from the Arizona language arts academic standards.

In the second part of the practicum (between Topics 5 and 6), select one of the classrooms you observed and spend an additional 6 hours designing and teaching a week-long (5 day) unit.  For this unit use a single piece of text that is appropriate for the grade level and language arts academic standards. A poem, short story, newspaper article, or content area piece may serve as a single text selection.

Create a mini-lesson (15-30 minutes) to address each of the following areas related to literacy development:

1. Monday: Oral language and vocabulary
2. Tuesday: Phonics, word patterns, and word analysis
3. Wednesday: Fluency
4. Thursday: Reading Comprehension
5. Friday:  Writing

Each day’s mini-lesson should address an evaluation of learning that is objective and measurable, and directly assesses the students’ achievement of the targeted academic standards. Every lesson should have the following structure at a minimum:

1. Objective (linked to academic standards)
2. Materials (include copies of all materials to teach lesson)
3. Procedure (a step-by-step description of the lesson from beginning to end)
4. Assessment (a concrete, measurable way to assess the objective)

Each mini-lesson should be a piece of the larger whole, not individual or unconnected lessons. That is, lessons later in the week should build on lessons from earlier in the week, and they should all reinforce and integrate skills from the prior lessons in the weekly sequence.

The remaining 5 hours of the practicum should be used for conferring with your mentor teacher regarding your teaching, management, and engagement strategies, as well as conducting an analysis of student learning. Use your assessment data to formulate a plan to adjust your teaching to meet student needs. Utilize this data and mentor teacher feedback to adjust your unit plan before submitting it to the instructor and to LoudCloud.

Write a 1,500-1,750-word proacticum reflection that includes the following:

1. A synopsis of your observations in the reading classrooms, and how they influenced your Language Arts Unit Plan.
2. A reflection on the language arts unit plan after you taught it. What were its strengths and weaknesses? What would you change and why? What did you learn about teaching from your mentor teacher? Include this reflection with your unit plan.

Project Deliverable 5: Capstone Final Project and Presentation

Due Week 10 and worth 180 points

Please do this paper on WALMART…I will do the power point presentation

This assignment consists of two (2) sections: a final capstone project plan and a closing process PowerPoint presentation. You must submit both sections as separate files for the completion of this assignment. Label each file name according to the section of the assignment it is written for. Section 1: Final Capstone Project Plan

You are now in the final stage of the capstone project development. All previous documentation should be combined into one (1) document that will serve as the statement of work for the project. Your goal is to have the CEO of your chosen company and his leadership team approve your strategy recommendations. The presentation should be very detailed in order to address potential concerns and provide support your recommendations. However, the executive team is only interested in a thirty (30) minute summation. Therefore, you also must create a compelling executive summary that is supported by your detail that convinces the executive team that it should move forward with your recommendation.

1. Develop a twenty to thirty (20-30) page project plan in which you:

a. Write a two to three (2-3) page executive summary in which you provide a high-level technical overview of your project where you address the following from the case study:

i. Strategy Development

ii. Innovation and Competitive Analysis

iii. Exploiting Innovation

iv. The Organization’s Response to Change

b. Combine all previous documentation for Project Deliverables 1-4 in which you provide all aspects of the strategic management process into the project plan.

c. Compile all the quality resources from the previous deliverables. Note: Wikipedia and similar Websites do not qualify as quality resources.

Section 2: Closing Process PowerPoint Presentation

In addition to your detailed executive summary, you must present your findings to the executive team and the venture capital group that along with the executive summary will convince everyone that your solution is optimal. Your PowerPoint must have speaker notes and these speaker notes must be written as if you were presenting this project to your client. A template is provided for your use. You can modify the template based on your professor’s instructions. Do not omit any information from the template because the information aligns with the rubric. Note: The template can be found here.

• 2. Prepare a nine to fifteen (9-15) slide presentation in which you:

a. Include a title slide and a slide in which you provide the purpose and objectives of the presentation.

b. Examine your chosen company’s competitive environment.

c. Determine your chosen company’s main strengths and weaknesses.

d. Determine and evaluate two to three (2-3) strategies to exploit its innovation breakthroughs.

e. Recommend a strategy for your chosen company.

f. Advise key strategic implementation approach.

g. Include a summation slide in which you provide the key takeaways for the CEO.

Your presentation must follow these formatting requirements:

• Use the PowerPoint presentation template that can be found in the online course shell. Your professor will inform you if the template can be modified.
• Provide a references slide. The Reference Slide must follow APA format. Create Speaker Notes to accompany each slide that emphasize and embellish the key points to the stakeholders. Please be clear and thorough as if you are actually presenting.

The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:

• Demonstrate an understanding of the need for strategy and methods for developing a business strategy within an organization.

For this Assignment, you will take the perspective of a director of a regional Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) office. The national EPA Office of Environmental Information (OEI) has tasked all regional directors to identify an environmental hazard in your community by again visiting the EPA’s EJScreen tool at http://www2.epa.gov/ejscreen and enter a zip code (e.g., your hometown) in the “Launch the Tool” section. When the map is loaded, choose “Add Maps.” Highlight “Additional Maps,” and select “Sites reporting to EPA.” Explore the various “Sites reporting to EPA” (air emissions, hazardous waste, water dischargers, superfund, and toxic releases) to find a contaminant that affects your community.

For this contaminant, prepare an executive summary (2–3 pages) to submit to EPA OEI. In this summary, please discuss the human health effects of exposure, the sources into the environment, and the route of human exposure. Specify whether the hazard is chemical, physical, or biological and whether this affects occupational health, the general public, or both.
