Explain whether the researcher should use an independent-samples t-test or a related-samples t-test for this scenario.

Scenario: Imagine you are a researcher who is interested in studying whether sleep deprivation leads to increased reaction times (i.e., being slower) when driving. You randomly select a sample of 30 licensed drivers. Fifteen participants are randomly assigned to get 5 hours of sleep for three consecutive nights. The other 15 participants are randomly assigned to get 8 hours of sleep for three consecutive nights. For the purposes of this Assignment, assume that all participants sleep exactly the required amounts. After the third night, all participants take a driving simulation test that measures their reaction times.

To complete this Assignment, submit a response to each of the following. Use SPSS to determine if amount of sleep is related to reaction time.

  1. Explain whether the researcher should use an independent-samples t-test or a related-samples t-test for this scenario. Provide a rationale for your decision.
  2. Identify the independent variable and dependent variable.
  3. Knowing the researcher believes that people who sleep less will have slower reaction times, state the null hypothesis and alternate hypothesis in words (not formulas).
  4. Explain whether the researcher should use a one-tailed test or two-tailed test and why.
  5. Identify the obtained t value for this data set using SPSS and report it in your answer document.
  6. State the degrees of freedom and explain how you calculated it by hand.
  7. Identify the p value using SPSS and report it in your answer document.
  8. Explain whether the researcher should retain or reject the null hypothesis. Provide a rationale for your decision. Are the results statistically significant?
  9. Explain what the researcher can conclude about the relationship between amount of sleep and reaction times.

Describe your hypothetical company. What type of business is it? What type of product or service does it provide?

Purpose: Through the completion of the Recruitment and Selection Project, the student will create a staffing plan which a hypothetical organization of their own design may use to acquire talent. The entire staffing process will be developed includingthe creation of job descriptions, the development and evaluation of necessary recruitment and selection methods, and an analysis of appropriate job offer and onboarding strategies. Care should be taken throughout the development of this project to ensure that all recommendations, processes, and procedures follow relevant EEO laws and regulations.

Part I:  Job Analysis and Job Descriptions

• Describe your hypothetical company. What type of business is it? What type of product or service does it provide? What external influences impact your organization and potential labor supply (i.e., customers, legal environment, economic environment, competitive environment, labor market, etc.)?• Describe the company’s strategic initiative that is driving a specific staffing need. For example – the opening of a new production line; adding a third shift to the call center; expanding the outside sales force, etc.• Describe the job analysis process you will use for your organization. What relevant resources will you use and why? How many classifications will exist within your organization? What will be the job classification for the specific staffing need for this project.• Develop a complete job description for the specific strategic staffing need for this project.

What would be the advantages and disadvantages of a just-in-time inventory system for Heartland?

Heartland Fabrication has entered the commercial market. One of its customer bases is retail outlets purchasing steel racks. Heartland manufactures these racks and stores them in a large warehouse prior to shipment.

The accounting team at Heartland is looking for ways to reduce carrying costs of the inventory, and it needs a long-term plan. Production is fairly constant and inventory levels ebb and flow based on demand. This affects carrying costs and often results in the inability to fulfill and order or having excess inventory.

  • Describe the types of costs associated with carrying inventory.
  • How might the economic-order-quantity decision model help Heartland plan and control inventory?
  • What would be the advantages and disadvantages of a just-in-time inventory system for Heartland?

Define dispute resolution and cultural sensitivity along with an example of each. What are the key elements (attitudes, behaviors) contributing to cultural sensitivity?

Cultural Sensitivity in International Negotiation

Cultural sensitivity is an important disposition for international negotiators. Although awareness of cultural diversity and specific factors that differ among cultures is an important beginning place, simply knowing differences is usually insufficient for bridging gaps and developing positive negotiated outcomes for all participants.  Being sensitive to those differences and embracing them is a crucial skill for international negotiators and leaders.
For the first paragraph or two of your posting, select any one of the following bullet points and address all elements of your chosen bullet point. Select a different bullet point section than what your classmates have already posted so that we can engage several discussions on relevant topics. If all the bullet points have been addressed, then you may begin to re-use the bullet points with the expectation that varied responses continue.

· Define dispute resolution and cultural sensitivity along with an example of each. What are the key elements (attitudes, behaviors) contributing to cultural sensitivity? What are some of the indicators (what we would see, hear, experience) that would tell us whether cultural sensitivity is present in a negotiation or in an organization?

Identify specific barriers to social services that the Hernandez family experiences because of their class status (e.g., working poor).

Discussion 1: Classism

Income and wages are measurable indicators of how prosperity is distributed amongst social class. Wealth, often determined by an individual’s net worth (assets minus liabilities), is another indicator that is used to determine class. Wealth for working class families is measured by their cars, savings, and home. As people improve their social and economic standing, wealth may include things like stocks and bonds, commercial real estate, and expensive jewelry.

Wealth is an important indicator because it spans past, present, and future generations. For example, compare the children of parents who can save money and leave an inheritance with children of parents who economically struggle and have few assets to pass on to the next generation. Historically, the creation and accumulation of wealth provides evidence of the legacy of racism, sexism, and discrimination and their role in determining class. Black/African Americans, women, and Hispanic/Latinos have historically been denied the means to obtain assets and grow wealth. Consider the impact of chronic marginalization on the Black/African American community’s ability to build wealth. While the income gaps between various ethnic groups may be decreasing, the gap between assets remains wide. Data from the Pew Research center show that the median wealth of Caucasian households is 20 times that of Black/African American households and 18 times that of Hispanic/Latinos households in the U.S. (Pew Research Center, 2011).

Class extends beyond wealth and other financial indicators. Class also includes details like the amount of free time you enjoy (because you are not working three jobs to make ends meet) or feeling like there is a “right” way to speak and act in order to be heard. For this Discussion, analyze how classism has impacted your life.

By Day 3

Post an analysis of how classism has factored into your life. Then, explain a strategy you might use as a social worker to address the impact of class and class differences on the lives of your clients.

Discussion 2: Power, Privilege, and Classism

Plummer, S. B., Makris, S., & Brocksen S. M. (Eds.). (2014). Sessions: Case histories. Baltimore, MD: Laureate International Universities Publishing. [Vital Source e-reader].

“The Hernandez Family”

Power, privilege, and classism are interconnected. The more privilege you enjoy, the more power you have to access opportunities that build wealth. The more wealth you can amass, the higher your social standing. It is important to note that having wealth is not an indictment. However, the privileges that have often led to inequalities in wealth distribution are real. As a social worker, you may find yourself working with clients who do not enjoy the privileges you knowingly or unknowingly enjoy. The more you understand your own relationship to power, privilege, and class, the better you will understand your clients’ realities. For this

Discussion, review how classism is represented in the Hernandez family.
