Assignment Steps 

Refer to Mini-Project Movie Data Set.

Analyze and write a report summarizing this data. This report should include answers to at least the following questions:

  1. Calculate the summary measures (the mean, standard deviation, five-number summary, and interquartile range) of the total gross income for each movie genre.
  2. Which genre had greater variability in total gross income?  Explain why.
  3. Draw a box-and-whisker plot of a movie’s length of time (minutes) by genre. Are there any differences in movie lengths when compared across genres? Are there any outliers?

Use the mean movie gross income for each genre to compare the movie opening gross income. 

Choose an appropriate statistical measure to compare the consistency of movie gross income.

Make the calculations and write a 700-word report comparing the total movie gross income and the consistency of movie opening gross by genre.

In Unit I, we discussed the definition of ergonomics and the role of ergonomics in our professional lives. For the Unit I

Homework assignment, you will expand on those concepts a bit further and focus on how ergonomics can affect different

types of workstations.

In one Word document, write responses to the following items. Use APA to cite and reference all outside sources, including

the textbook. Please label each section for clarity using APA headings:

1. Describe the relationship between proper ergonomic design and your workstation; include a real-world example.

Explain how ergonomics, if not properly applied, can affect your life short-term or long-term. (Note: You may consider

your study work station or your workstation at your place of employment.)

2. Amy works for a large variety store in your area. Her work tasks include standing at the cash register (checkout

counter) for extended periods of time. She is responsible for scanning items and placing them into bags or the

customer’s cart. Some of these items can be heavy. Describe some of the areas within this workstation where this

employee could be injured. Describe what actions the employer might take to relieve some of these hazards.

3. Adam, a 25-year-old Caucasian male, is an employee working in the automotive section of a large variety store. Using

the tables found in Chapter 3, provide a hypothetical description of Adam that would place him in the 50th percentile

for height, weight, waist circumference, and body mass index. Provide exact measurements for Adam, using the 50th

percentile columns. Explain one area where these measurements might be of use for the employer as it relates to

this employee.

CRITICAL BOOK REVIEW INSTRUCTIONS

Laaser, M. R. (2004). Healing the wounds of sexual addiction. Grand Rapids, MI: Zondervan. ISBN: 978-0310256571.

CRITICAL BOOK REVIEW INSTRUCTIONS
A critique is more than a summary of the book, article, and/or chapter being reviewed. The emphasis is on a discussion and evaluation of the topic, not just a description. Further, it must be remembered that critical is not necessarily synonymous with bad or unfavorable. Critical reviews may be positive, negative, or a combination of both.
In Module/Week 4, you will submit a 5-page critical book review over the Laaser text. Three specific sections (Summary, Analysis, and Conclusion) will be required. Adhering to current APA format guidelines for in-text citations and references is required. View the instructions and grading rubric located within the Assignment Instructions folder in the course for specific expectations for this assignment. This assignment must be submitted no later than 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Monday of Module/Week 4.Your critique must be 5–6 full pages of content and include the following 3 sections:
I.Summary
•Summarize the issue/topic addressed. Explain why the author(s) think the issue/topic is important.
•Briefly highlight the major themes (or sub-topics) being explored.
This part of the critique must be about 2 pages, double-spaced. Do not make it longer than 2½ pages.
II.Analysis
This section must critically analyze and evaluate the work being reviewed. Some of the questions you may want to consider in this part are:
•What is the point of view of the author(s)? What perspective (ideological, philosophical) do they bring to the work? Is their perspective implicit (gleaned from reading “between the lines†) or explicit (openly stated)?
•What kind of evidence to they bring to support their viewpoint? Is it adequate?
•How clear is the argument? Does it flow logically? Are there gaps, inconsistencies, or contradictions in the discussion or argument?
Support your response with examples from the work itself and from your knowledge of the issue/topic. Be sure to go beyond stating your opinion; it is not enough to say you agree or disagree with the author’s point of view. Substantiate your claims!
III.Conclusion
•Of what value is the book? What does it add (if anything) to the discourse?
•Who would find the piece helpful and why?

Other Specifics:
The paper:
•Is to be an original work of the author and written solely for this course;
•Must be written using current APA format guidelines and include the following: title, abstract, and reference pages (which do not count toward the 5–6 pages of content);
•Must be submitted as a Word document (.doc or .docx);
