In chapter 2, the author describes Hyperledger Fabric and its components. Create a new thread, choose one of the Hyperledger design principles described in chapter 2, and explain why your chosen design principle is important to a successfully enterprise blockchain implementation. I’m interested to read what YOU learned from this week’s reading. Do NOT submit a research paper. Tell me what you think. 

Then think of three questions you’d like to ask other students and add these to the end of your thread. The questions should be taken from material you read in Chapter 1 or 2. You’re not trying to test each other, but you are trying to start a discussion. 

Finally, go to three other students’ threads and post comments, answering at least one of their questions. 

You must do the following:

1) Create a new thread. As indicated above, choose one of the Hyperledger design principles described in chapter 2, and explain why your chosen design principle is important to a successfully enterprise blockchain implementation. Then think of three questions you’d like to ask other students and add these to the end of your thread. The questions should be taken from material you read in Chapter 1 or 2. You’re not trying to test each other, but you are trying to start a discussion.

2) Select AT LEAST 3 other students’ threads and post substantive comments on those threads. Your comments should answer AT LEAST one of the questions posed in the thread and extend the conversation started with that thread. Make sure that you include the question in your comment so I can see what question you’re answering. 

ALL original posts and comments must be substantive AND ORIGINAL. (I’m looking for about a paragraph – not just a short answer.) Do not plagiarize!! Use your own words.

Write one page document

The second data set includes data about the customers of a telecom company, the services they subscribed to, and whether they left the company’s services. Multiple aspects of the customer’s behaviors could be analyzed using this dataset.

The data and the variable descriptions can be found at:

https://www.kaggle.com/blastchar/telco-customer-churn

Requirements:

Part I: Contextualization

In the Introductory section for Part 1 of your 4-5-page report, provide a contextualization of the dataset by doing the following:

Download the selected data set and review its description. Specify the selected dataset.

Summarize the story behind the data. Provide in-text and reference list citations of any outside sources that you consulted to contextualize the data collection efforts.

Explore the dataset. Explain the attributes of the entities.

Describe the data captured in the data set.

Summarize three observations from a cursory visual inspection of the data.

Part II: Research Questions

When data is collected, or even before collection starts, we have the purpose of the analysis in mind and plan accordingly. For an analysis to provide us with meaningful insight, we must plan it well and have a clear research question or questions in mind. The term “research” can sound scary, but it refers to a path to satisfying curiosity or resolving a problem. For Part II, which should be 2-3 pages, provide an analysis based on the background of the data sets:

Write three questions that this dataset can help answer.

Explain the importance of these questions in a business or other relevant context.

Identify the variables from the data set that are relevant to the questions.

Write a sample statement of outcome that your analysis may reveal.

Underline the words in these statements that refer to the variables identified in task prompt H.

Part III. Data Preparation and Distribution Analysis. Using an R script, please perform the following:

Identify the columns that hold the values of the variables you previously identified in the analysis of the research questions. Write R script to generate a subset of the given data. If the variable is categorical and the values are not numerical, transform the values into numerical values. For example, if the values of a column are ‘Y’ and ‘N’, use SQL to convert them to “0” and “1” respectively when generating the subset. That includes only the values for the selected variables and translate categorical values into numeric codes.

Write an R script for a query that provides insights into your research question.

Part IV. Reporting

Write a 250-word executive summary for members of the general public outlining the findings from your analysis.

Your well-written report should be 10-12 pages in length, not including the title or reference pages. Use Saudi Electronic University academic writing standards and APA style guidelines, citing at least two references in support of your work, in addition to your text and assigned readings.

You will upload a zipped file that includes your 10-12-page report and all supporting files, including Word, R code and Excel files, and screenshots that support the presentation of the findings in the report.

You are strongly encouraged to submit all assignments to the Turnitin Originality Check prior to submitting them to your instructor for grading. If you are unsure how to submit an assignment to the Originality Check tool, review the Turnitin Originality Check Student Guide.

Go online and research some tools that would be valuable in collecting both live memory images and images of various forms off media. Put together a shopping list for your manager that includes tools needed  to be purchased. Include a price if applicable.
