this week you will begin working on Phase 3. Using the same data set and variables for your selected topic ( see attached for data set and background info) add the following information to your analysis:

1. Discuss the process for hypothesis testing.

• Discuss the 8 steps of hypothesis testing?
• When performing the 8 steps for hypothesis testing, which method do you prefer; P-Value method or Critical Value method? Why?

2. Perform the hypothesis test.

• If you selected Option 1:
  • Original Claim: The average salary for all jobs in Minnesota is less than $65,000.
  • Test the claim using α = 0.05 and assume your data is normally distributed and σ is unknown.

• If you selected Option 2:
  • Original Claim: The average age of all patients admitted to the hospital with infectious diseases is less than 65 years of age.
  • Test the claim using α = 0.05 and assume your data is normally distributed and σ is unknown.

• Based on your selected topic, answer the following:

1. Write the null and alternative hypothesis symbolically and identify which hypothesis is the claim.
2. Is the test two-tailed, left-tailed, or right-tailed? Explain.
3. Which test statistic will you use for your hypothesis test; z-test or t-test? Explain.
4. What is the value of the test-statistic? What is the P-value?
5. What is the critical value?
6. What is your decision; reject the null or do not reject the null?
   1. Explain why you made your decision including the results for your p-value and the critical value.
7. State the final conclusion in non-technical terms.

You will apply important microeconomics concepts toward the competitive strategies of an organization that operates in an industry of your choice. You will evaluate the differences between market structures and identify a group of competitive strategies consistent with the market structure that best aligns with the market in which the organization competes. You will assess how the market structure positively and negatively affects the organization’s ability to earn an economic profit over time and evaluate the effectiveness of the organization’s competitive strategies.

Select an industry. Identify an organization in that industry. Your selected organization must be submitted for instructor approval.

Identify the market structure in which this organization competes. Clearly indicate why the market structure was decided upon and how this market structure differentiates from the other alternatives.

Describe the level of competition the organization will face if under each of the following market structures:

• Oligopoly
• Perfect competition
• Monopoly
• Monopolistic competition

Identify three or more competitive strategies of your choice that may be used by the organization to maximize its profits over the long run. Evaluate the effectiveness of these strategies in the market structure you identified. Consider the following:

• Expected changes in supply and demand
• Price elasticity of demand
• Market structure
• Government regulations

Make recommendations related to the strategies the organization might consider to maximize its profits and consider the following:

• What are the ethical implications of these strategies?
• Does this strategy align with the organization’s current values?
• Does this strategy align with your own values?

Understanding the dual modes of social cognitive processing requires a thorough understanding of the current literature. Many fields outside of social psychology also apply research methods designed to study dual modes of social cognitive processing, such as when marketing research examines the impact of subliminal message priming on consumer behavior. It is interesting to see how these social cognitive processes appear every day.

For this Application Assignment, use the Walden Library to locate an article within a field of your choice which examines automatic or controlled social cognitive processing. Consider the differences between the dual modes of processing and how each is likely to occur. Also, in summarizing this study, include which social cognitive process was examined, how the social cognitive process was studied, and what was found as a result of this research.

The assignment (2 pages)

• Explain two differences between the dual modes of social cognitive processing.
• Explain when conscious/controlled social cognitive processing is more likely to occur than unconscious/automatic social cognitive processing.
• Using the current literature, select a peer reviewed article that describes an empirical research study measuring a conscious or an unconscious social cognitive process within a work environment (e.g., health, legal, education, public administration, marketing, organizational).
• Summarize the article and explain which of the two social cognitive processes (conscious, unconscious) is demonstrated in the article and how. Include a description of how the social cognitive process was studied and the results of this research.

Due Week 4 and worth 200 points

Use the Internet to research one (1) developing nation of your choice. Your research should include an examination of the effects that war and peace have on the distribution of foreign aid, as well as the material covered by the Webtext and lectures in Weeks 1 through 3.

1. Assess the positive and negative effects that peace and war, respectively, have on the distribution of foreign aid in the developing country that you have selected. Support your response with concrete examples of each of the results that you have cited.
2. Analyze the specific actions that the leadership of the selected country has taken, through the use of its foreign aid from donor nations and international lending institutions, to relieve the severe problems caused by warfare.
3. Discuss whether or not the extension of foreign aid has successfully reduced poverty and the incidence of warfare in the selected country. Support your response with examples.
4. Use at least five (5) quality academic resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia, blogs, and other nonacademic websites do not qualify as academic resources. Approval of resources is at the instructor’s discretion. Resources must also be within the last seven (7) years.
