Competency Determine and interpret the linear correlation coefficient, and use linear regression to find a best fit line for a scatter plot of the data and make predictions. Scenario According to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), the  probability of a magnitude 6.7 or greater earthquake in the Greater Bay Area is  63%, about 2 out of 3, in the next 30 years. In April 2008, scientists and  engineers released a new earthquake forecast for the State of California called  the Uniform California Earthquake Rupture Forecast (UCERF).As a junior analyst at the USGS, you are tasked to  determine whether there is sufficient evidence to support the claim of a linear  correlation between the magnitudes and depths from the earthquakes. Your  deliverables will be a PowerPoint presentation you will create summarizing your  findings and an excel document to show your work. 

Concepts Being Studied 

Correlation and regression Creating scatterplots Constructing and interpreting a Hypothesis Test for Correlation using r as the test statistic You are given a spreadsheet that contains the following information: Magnitude measured on the Richter scale Depth in km Using the spreadsheet, you will answer the problems below in a PowerPoint presentation. 

What to Submit

The PowerPoint presentation  should answer and explain the following questions based on the spreadsheet provided  above. Slide 1: Title  slide Slide 2: Introduce your scenario and data set including the variables provided. Slide 3:  Construct a scatterplot of the two variables provided in the spreadsheet. Include a description of what you see in the  scatterplot. Slide 4: Find the value of the linear correlation  coefficient r and the critical value  of r using α = 0.05. Include an explanation on how you found those values. Slide 5: Determine whether there is sufficient  evidence to support the claim of a linear correlation between the magnitudes and the depths from the earthquakes. Explain. Slide 6: Find the regression equation. Let the predictor (x) variable be the magnitude. Identify the slope and the y-intercept within your regression equation. Slide 7: Is the equation a good model? Explain. What would be the best predicted depth of an earthquake with a magnitude of 2.0? Include the correct units. Slide 8: Conclude by recapping your ideas by summarizing the information presented in context of the  scenario. Along  with your PowerPoint presentation, you should include your Excel document which  shows all calculations.

Continue to use the scenario to assist you with this assignment.

Healing Hands Hospital is an acute care community hospital that serves a suburban community outside of a large city with two competing large academic medical centers. Both Healing Hands Hospital and the academic medical centers have a long history of service to the region, but their business and fundamental practices are different. Your manager, Ms. Woods, Healing Hands’ Chief Operating Officer, is part of the Task Force working on the strategic plan for the hospital and needs to understand the fundamental practices of these academic medical centers.

You have been asked to research the differences between the services that your organization offers and those of at least one of these academic medical centers. For the purposes of this assignment, use the Web to research community hospitals and academic medical centers and select one community hospital and one academic medical center located in the same city or area to represent these two healthcare organizations for the purpose of working on this assignment. You will use the information that you find about these two healthcare organizations for the Individual Project assignments in the remaining weeks of the course culminating in your final project in Week 5. Use the acute-care community hospital to represent Healing Hands Hospital. This link provides a list of example community hospitals. Choose one and then find an academic medical center located in the same geographic region.  Review the Web information on these facilities to complete this assignment.

1. Describe the similarities and differences of these organizations in terms of the following:

  • Mission
  • Goals
  • Objectives
  • Management structure
  • Reimbursement models
  • Staffing
  • Policies
  • Procedures
  • Research and clinical trials

2.  Based on your analysis of the data that you present, provide your opinion on what would be the main areas of concern if the two organizations were to merge and how they could be overcome.

You may include a table for the comparison, but you must describe your evaluation of where there are and are not similarities between the two healthcare organizations and your opinion. Your research should be at least 2-pages, not including the title page and reference page.

Be sure to document your references using APA format. This includes the websites for the two hospitals that you are using for the assignment.

When was the last time you read Meditation XVII of John Donne’s Devotions Upon Emergent Occasions?

Unless you are a student of seventeeth-century poetry, you may not be all that familiar with this piece. However, you may be much more familiar with one of its well-known phrases: “No man is an island…”.

As you begin your journey toward achieving your academic and professional goals, you have a great opportunity to network with academics and professionals who can help ensure you do not travel alone. This network can help to clarify your own vision for success and can help guide you now and in the future. To paraphrase Donne, no one is an island.

Begin creating an academic and professional network by identifying which academic and professional connections and resources with which you need to collaborate to succeed in your MSN program and as a practicing nurse.

To Prepare:

  • Consider individuals, departments, teams, and/or resources within Walden University and within your profession that you believe can support your academic and professional success.
  • Identify at least two academic and at least two professional individuals, colleagues, or teams that might help you succeed in your MSN program and as a practicing nurse.
  • Download the Academic Success and Professional Development Plan Template.

Does Psychotherapy Have a Biological Basis?

Many studies have found that psychotherapy is as effective as psychopharmacology in terms of influencing changes in behaviors, symptoms of anxiety, and changes in mental state. Changes influenced by psychopharmacology can be explained by the biological basis of treatments. But how does psychotherapy achieve these changes? Does psychotherapy share common neuronal pathways with psychopharmacology? For this Discussion, consider whether psychotherapy also has a biological basis.

Learning Objectives

Students will:

· Evaluate biological basis of psychotherapy treatments

· Analyze influences of culture, religion, and socioeconomics on personal perspectives of psychotherapy treatments

To prepare:

· Review this week’s Learning Resources.

· Reflect on foundational concepts of psychotherapy.

Post an explanation of whether psychotherapy has a biological basis. Explain how culture, religion, and socioeconomics might influence one’s perspective of the value of psychotherapy treatments. Support your rationale with evidence-based literature.
