Case Study

Do a case analysis of any one of the cases presented in Chapter 5 in the textbook (Chapple et. al.), pages 105 to 107. Make certain that your report covers all the major elements of the case. You should indicate clearly which case you have analyzed, the Private Sector, the Public Sector or the Critical Infrastructure.

Make sure to follow APA style. Please make sure your submission is 2 – 3 pages in length and meet the minimum APA formatting guidelines:

•    Double-spaced
•    1” margins on all sides
•    Please provide a title page including your Name, Course Number, Date of Submission, and Assignment name.
•    Paraphrasing of content – Demonstrate that you understand the case by summarizing the case in your own words. Direct quotes should be used minimally.
•    Reference Section (A separate page is recommended.) Please cite the source using APA formatting guidelines. If you need guidance or a refresher on this, please visit: https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/10/ (link is external) Be sure to include at least three reference sources.
•    In-text citations – If you need additional guidance, please visit: https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/02/ (link is external)

Discussion 7 Info Tech Strat Plan

In your initial post, answer the following questions about IT Project Management. In addition to your course textbook (chapter 11 attached), utilize the UC library for information and examples.

What is a project, and what are its main attributes? How is a project different from what most people do in their day-to-day jobs? Discuss the importance of top management commitment and the development of standards for successful project management. Provide examples to illustrate the importance of these items based on your experience on any type of project. Discuss the unique challenges that an IT project presents.

Please make your initial post substantive. A substantive post will do of the following:

At least one scholarly source should be used in the initial discussion thread. Be sure to use information from your readings and other sources from the UC Library. Use proper citations, intext citations and references in your post.

Computer Geographics

1.     

In this chapter we have looked at the point location problem with pre- processing. We have not looked at the single shot problem, where the subdivision and the query point are given at the same time, and we have no special preprocessing to speed up the searches. In this exercise and some of the following ones, we have a look at such problems. 

Given a simple polygon P with n vertices and a query point q, here is an algorithm to determine whether q lies in P. Consider the ray ρ := {(qx +λ,qy) : λ > 0} (this is the horizontal ray starting in q and going rightwards). Determine for every edge e of P whether it intersects ρ. If the number of intersecting edges is odd, then q ∈ P, otherwise q à∈ P. 

Prove that this algorithm is correct, and explain how to deal with degen- erate cases. (One degenerate case is when ρ intersects an endpoint of an edge. Are there other special cases?) What is the running time of the algorithm? 

2. Suppose you are given an n-vertex simple polygon, P. Describe how to build an efficient data structure for determining in O(log n) time whether a query point, q, is inside of P or not. What is the space and preprocessing time for your data structure?

3. The ray shooting problem occurs in computer graphics (see Chapter 8). A 2-dimensional version can be given as follows: Store a set S of n non-crossing line segments such that one can quickly answer queries of the type: “Given a query ray ρ—a ray is a half-line starting at some point—find the first segment in S intersected by ρ.” (We leave it to you to define the behavior for degenerate cases.) In this exercise, we look at vertical ray shooting, where the query ray must be a vertical ray pointing upwards. Only the starting point need be specified in such a query. Give a data structure for the vertical ray shooting problem for a set S of n non-crossing line segments in general position. Bound the query time and storage requirement of your data structure. What is the preprocessing time?

Python

 Submit electronically to Blackboard For this homework, you’re asked to upload some screenshots, a text file named “homework1.txt” (or another text suffix, doesn’t have to be txt), and a python file named “test.py”. See blue font below. You can zip everything into 1 file, or just upload individual files. 

Which is Best: Mean or Median?

 

This week you will use the Bureau of Labor Statistics website to search for income data on the occupation you are seeking.  Visit the following website:  https://www.bls.gov/bls/blswage.htm (Links to an external site.) 

The BLS has wage information for hundreds of jobs and data can also be found by state. There is much information here so take some time to browse around. 

Once you arrive at the site, complete the following steps to gather the data you need to answer the discussion questions.

Part 1

  • Search for information on your occupation by clicking on national wage data 800 occupations. This will take you to the Occupational Employment Statistics page.
  • Scroll to the bottom of that page for a table listing the major and sub-job categories. Note in the first column there is an occupation code. For example, accountants and auditors have the code 13-2011 and are listed under banking and financial operations.
  • Click on the job title to find earnings information. There you will find mean wages as well as percentiles and the 5-number summary.
  • Compare the mean and median pays. For example, the mean pay for accountants was $78,800 and the median was $70,500.
  • Record the information on percentiles, the 5-number summary, the mean and the median.

Part 2

  • Above the data on the occupation page, you will find the following links:
    • National estimates for this occupation
    • Industry profile for this occupation
    • Geographic profile for this occupation.
  • Select the geographic profile to view maps of the states.
  • Scroll down to the map that presents mean wages by state using the color code.
  • Compare the ranges of wages of the states based on the ranges presented. 
  • Identify the highest paying and lowest paying states.

 

Step 3

Include the following in your discussion post:

  • Share the information you found in steps 1 and 2.
  • Discuss your interpretation of the statistics you recorded in Part 1.
    • Percentiles
    • Mean
    • Median
  • How different are the salaries shown in the map of states?
    • What is the range for your state?
    • Would you move to another state based on this data?
    • What other statistics would you want to know before making that decision?
  • What effect do the lowest paid and highest paid states have on the calculation of the mean and median for the United States?
  • Suppose you were asked by a potential employer to request a salary. Which is the best measure to use to find “average” earnings for your occupation? Explain your answer.
