What do I Know About Where I Live?

 For this discussion, you are to use the following website: https://www.census.gov/acs/www/data/data-tables-and-tools/data-profiles/2017/ (Links to an external site.)

  • On the landing page, type in the name of your state, and then the name of your city or place.
  • Click on “Get Data Profile”.
  • On the new page, you will see links to 4 sets of information on your area:  
    • Social
    • Education
    • Housing
    • Demographic
  • Choose any two variables you think might be related and find them by  using the links to the related set.  In the tables, locate the  variables you chose to work with. For example, you could use the number  of rooms (in a house) under Housing and household incomes and benefits  under Economy.
  • Find the values for each of your two variables for several years.  For example, you might use the number of rooms and household income for  the years 2012- 2017.
  • Use Excel to make a scatterplot and to find the correlation  coefficient. You should then have 6 points on the scatterplot, one for  each year.

Share your scatterplot and correlation coefficient in your post and use them to address the following in your discussion post:

  • Why did you think a relationship exists between the two variables you chose? 
  • Based on the Excel scatterplot and output 
    • State what type of relationship exists:  Negative, positive, or none. 
    • Describe the relationship in words including what happens to one as  the other changes. For example, as the number of rooms in a house  increases, does the family income increase as well?
  • Does the statistical information you obtained support or refute your alternative hypothesis that a relationship exists? 
    • How?
    • If you did not find a relationship, why do you think that is?
  • What is the value to knowing there is a correlation between the  variables? For example, what businesses might flourish in a wealthy  area?   
  • Would another variable better explain the relationship?  
  • How might the city use such information to make improvements?  For  example, if you found a relationship between crime and poverty would it  make sense to make addressing poverty a priority?
  • Can you conclude that one variable is causing the other? Why or why not?

Paper Details

In this assessment, you will articulate the roles played by team members in a software development project. You will explain how the Java programming language and development environment enable you to perform your role as a software programmer/developer in a development project.

In software development projects, a team is formed to carry out the project. The team is made of several members, each with a distinct role and responsibilities. Examples of these roles include the client, the project manager, the software architect, and the software programmer/developer roles.

Please refer to the resources of this assessment to learn about the software development process and the roles played in a typical software development project.

You may wish to reference these resources in your assessment.

Follow these steps to complete this assessment:

1.Research the software development process and the roles played by the development team members in software development projects. This research may include the readings suggested with this assessment, or you may conduct additional research.

2.Create a PDF or Word document named “U1A1_SWRoles” of 1–2 pages in which you: a.Describe the software development process and its phases.

b.Explain at least four of the roles played by team members in a software development project and examine their corresponding responsibilities. The four roles must include the role of the software developer/programmer.

c.As an aspiring Java programmer, articulate how the Java programming language and the Java development environment enable you to perform the role of a Java developer in a software development project.

Subaru’s Sales Boom Thanks to the Weaker Yen For the Japanese carmaker Subaru, a sharp fall in the value of yen against the U.S. dollar has turned a problem—the lack of U.S. production—into an unexpected sales boom. Subaru, which is a niche player in the global auto industry, has long bucked the trend among its Japanese rivals of establishing significant manufacturing facilities in the North American market. Instead, the company has chosen to concentrate most of its manufacturing in Japan in order to achieve economies of scale at its home plants, exporting its production to the United States. Subaru still makes 80 percent of its vehicles at home, compared with 21 percent for Honda. Back in 2012, this strategy was viewed as something of a liability. In those days, one U.S. dollar bought only 80 Japanese yen. The strong yen meant that Subaru cars were being priced out of the U.S. market. Japanese companies like Honda and Toyota, which had substantial production in the United States, gained business at Subaru’s expense. But from 2012 onward, with Japan mired in recession and consumer prices falling, the country’s central bank repeatedly cut interest rates in an attempt to stimulate the economy. As interest rates fell in Japan, investors moved money out of the country, selling yen and buying the U.S. dollar. They used those dollars to invest in U.S. stocks and bonds where they anticipated a greater return. As a consequence, the price of yen in terms of dollars fell. By December 2015, one dollar bought 120 yen, representing a 50 percent fall in the value of the yen against the U.S. dollar since 2012.    For Subaru, the depreciation in the value of the yen has given it a pricing advantage and driven a sales boom. Demand for Subaru cars in the United States has been so strong that the automaker has been struggling to keep up. The profits of Subaru’s parent company, Fuji Heavy Industries, have surged. In February 2015, Fuji announced that it would earn record operating profits of around ¥410 billion ($3.5 billion) for the financial year ending March 2015. Subaru’s profit margin has increased to 14.4 percent, compared with 5.6 percent for Honda, a company that is heavily dependent on U.S. production. The good times continued in 2015, with Subaru posting record profits in the quarter ending December 31, 2015. Despite its current pricing advantage, Subaru is moving to increase its U.S. production. It plans to expand its sole plant in the United States, in Indiana, by March 2017, with a goal of making 310,000 a year, up from 200,000 currently. When asked why it is doing this, Subaru’s management notes that the yen will not stay weak against the dollar forever, and it is wise to expand local production as a hedge against future increases in the value of the yen. Indeed, when the Bank of Japan decided to set a key interest rate below zero in early February 2016, the yen started to appreciate against the U.S. dollar, presumably on expectations that negative interest rates would finally help stimulate Japan’s sluggish economy. By late March 2016, the yen had appreciated against the dollar and was trading at $1=112 yen.
