1. As several of the videos noted, industrialism played a role in the development of weapons and the notion of the “home front” – the notion that by working in factories to create weapons, non-soldiers were still contributing to their country’s efforts in the war. The videos also noted that people from colonized regions were also brought in as soldiers to aid their controlling country’s side in battle. Unfortunately, additional consequences of industrialism and imperialism are, during wartime, the faster development of more devastating weapons and the use of people from colonized countries to contribute to brutal trench warfare (not unlike the use of people for extracting natural materials).

2. Both nationalism and revolution during the time period of the first world war made coming to an end of conflict difficult. Various revolutions at the time caused internal conflicts within nations that made world peace impossible, even when World War I was coming to a close. The nationalism that had been growing since the 1800s likely contributed to the harsh treatment of Germany towards the end of the war, as much as Germany’s actions during the conflict. Nationalism may have contributed to a sense of superiority over Germany and a disregard for German citizens by nations such as France and England (and thus Germany was saddled with the blame for World War I). While Germany’s actions during World War I were by no means excusable or “good,” I suspect that the treatment of Germany by these other nations, and Germany’s own sense of nationalism and frustration of the treatment of Germany post-war, led to the second conflict, World War II, and the holocaust, when blame was placed outward. Indeed, one of the Crash Course videos alluded to a growing mistrust of Jews by German citizens during this time period.

3. The “Letters from the Trenches” document shows how difficult life was in the trenches, as do video clips of ex-soldiers suffering from the effects of experiencing conflict. The technology used for war at the time was new, and contemporary medical science was not fully prepared to handle the effects of conflict. For example, in reading about one soldier’s experience with gas poisoning, from which he recovers, I wondered if medical science then especially, but even today, can be sure that he fully recovered. Might have there been long-term alterations or consequences for his health, either physical or psychological, that were (incorrectly) not attributed to the poisoning? It would, after all, be difficult to determine an exact cause if he did have alterations to his health – were they caused by poisoning, malnutrition, PTSD, or another cause?

I need to select any city in the US and select 40-45 houses that are for sale in that city. Any website can be used for example zillow.com, realtor.com, ect. I need to create an excel spreadsheet with a price range for example $100K to $500K with my dependent variable= Price of the home and Independent variable= SQFT, number of bedrooms, number of bathrooms, and age.

Please make sure that your paper conforms to APA style requirements.

Purpose Statement and Model

1) In the introductory paragraph, state why the dependent variable has been chosen for analysis. Then make a general statement about the model:

“The dependent variable _Price of the home__ is determined by variables _SQFT__, _number of bathrooms__, _number of bedrooms__, and _age__.”

2) In the second paragraph, identify the primary independent variable and defend why it is important.

“The most important variable in this analysis is ________ because _________.” In this paragraph, cite and discuss the two research sources that support the thesis, i.e., the model.

3) Write the general form of the regression model (less intercept and coefficients), with the variables named appropriately so reader can identify each variable at a glance:

Dep_Var = Ind_Var_1 + Ind_Var_2 + Ind_Var_3

For instance, a typical model would be written:

Price_of_Home = Square_Footage + Number_Bedrooms + Lot_Size

Where

Price_of_Home: brief definition of dependent variable

Square_Footage: brief definition of first independent variable

Number_Bedrooms: brief definition of second independent variable

Age: brief definition of third independent variable

Definition of Variables

4) Define and defend all variables, including the dependent variable, in a single paragraph for each variable. Also, state the expectations for each independent variable. These paragraphs should be in numerical order, i.e., dependent variable, X1, then X2, etc.

In each paragraph, the following should be addressed:

• How is the variable defined in the data source?
• Which unit of measurement is used?
• For the independent variables: why does the variable determine Y?
• What sign is expected for the independent variable’s coefficient, positive or negative? Why?

Data Description

5) In one paragraph, describe the data and identify the data sources.

• From which general sources and from which specific tables are the data taken? (Citing a website is not acceptable.)
• Which year or years were the data collected?
• Are there any data limitations?

Presentation and Interpretation of Results

6) Write the regression (prediction) equation:

Dep_Var = Intercept + c1 * Ind_Var_1 + c2 * Ind_Var_2 + c3* Ind_Var_3

7) Identify and interpret the adjusted R2 (one paragraph):

• Define “adjusted R2.”
• What does the value of the adjusted R2 reveal about the model?
• If the adjusted R2 is low, how has the choice of independent variables created this result?

8) Identify and interpret the F test (one paragraph):

• Using the p-value approach, is the null hypothesis for the F test rejected or not rejected? Why or why not?
• Interpret the implications of these findings for the model.

9) Identify and interpret the t tests for each of the coefficients (one separate paragraph for each variable, in numerical order):

• Are the signs of the coefficients as expected? If not, why not?
• For each of the coefficients, interpret the numerical value.
• Using the p-value approach, is the null hypothesis for the t test rejected or not rejected for each coefficient? Why or why not?
• Interpret the implications of these findings for the variable.
• Identify the variable with the greatest significance.

10) Analyze multicollinearity of the independent variables (one paragraph):

• Generate the correlation matrix.
• Define multicollinearity.
• Are any of the independent variables highly correlated with each other? If so, identify the variables and explain why they are correlated.
• State the implications of multicollinearity (if found) for the model.

11) Other (not required):

• If any additional techniques for improving results are employed, discuss these at the end of the paper.

Works Cited Page

12) Use the proper format to list the works cited under two headings:

Research: two sources

Data: a separate citation for each of the variables used in the paper

Why is strategic planning necessary? Why do organizations engage in the strategic planning process?

From your readings, what are your thoughts about the ACHE’s strategic plan development process? Does it represent best practices, based on your textbook? Can you envision using a similar process within a health care setting? Why or why not?
