From the e-Activity, choose the one (1) emerging technology you believe will have the biggest impact on telecommunications and network security within the next two (2) years, and explain the main reasons why you believe this will be the case. Justify your answer.As people and organizations alike are relying more on mobile devices for company communications, give your opinion of what you believe are the top-three (3) concerns with mobile devices and security, and determine the major ways in which these concerns may affect the organization. Additionally, select at least one (1) security solution for mobile devices, and suggest the primary way in which you believe that such a solution could assist in the risk mitigation process. E-ACTIVITY:    

 Provide an example for using Baye’s Theorem in a workplace setting, as described in the article “Applying Bayes’ Theorem to Clinical Trials.” Does statistics also have uses in everyday life? Provide an example. Respond to at least two of your classmates’ posts.  

To study the growth of a population mathematically, we use the concept of exponential models. Generally speaking, if we want to predict the increase in the population at a certain period in time, we start by considering the current population and apply an assumed annual growth rate. For example, if the U.S. population in 2008 was 301 million and the annual growth rate was 0.9%, what would be the population in the year 2050? To solve this problem, we would use the following formula:P(1 + r)In this formula, P represents the initial population we are considering, r represents the annual growth rate expressed as a decimal and n is the number of years of growth. In this example, P = 301,000,000, r = 0.9% = 0.009 (remember that you must divide by 100 to convert from a percentage to a decimal), and n = 42 (the year 2050 minus the year 2008). Plugging these into the formula, we find:P(1 + r) = 301,000,000(1 + 0.009) = 301,000,000(1.009) = 301,000,000(1.457) = 438,557,000Therefore, the U.S. population is predicted to be 438,557,000 in the year 2050. Let’s consider the situation where we want to find out when the population will double. Let’s use this same example, but this time we want to find out when the doubling in population will occur assuming the same annual growth rate. We’ll set up the problem like the following:Double P = P(1 + r) P will be 301 million, Double P will be 602 million, r = 0.009, and we will be looking for n.Double P = P(1 + r) 602,000,000 = 301,000,000(1 + 0.009)Now, we will divide both sides by 301,000,000. This will give us the following:2 = (1.009)To solve for n, we need to invoke a special exponent property of logarithms. If we take the log of both sides of this equation, we can move exponent as shown below:log 2 = log (1.009)log 2 = n log (1.009)Now, divide both sides of the equation by log (1.009) to get:n = log 2 / log (1.009)Using the logarithm function of a calculator, this becomes:n = log 2/log (1.009) = 77.4Therefore, the U.S. population should double from 301 million to 602 million in 77.4 years assuming annual growth rate of 0.9 %. Now it is your turn:

The U.S. Supreme Court has granted lower courts the power to hear cases. This power is known as . You remain an investigator for the U.S. Attorney’s Office, and you have a suspect that is in the neighboring state. The U.S. Attorney wants to arrest this person but believes in training his investigators, so he has asked you to research the topic of jurisdiction.

 In this six- to eight-page research paper, you will explore in detail one of the statistical approaches to research discussed in the course, applying it in the context of a specific application or methodological study. This will help you gain a deeper understanding of your chosen topic as well as gain experience in translating these ideas into practice. Select a topic for your research paper using any of the statistical methods that we discussed in the course as it relates to your area of interest in either business, economics, finance, management, social science, health, psychology, or education. Find at least three relevant research articles which:These can be found in the Ashford University Library by going to a research database such as JSTOR or ProQuest and searching for your topic.  At least three of your sources must be from peer-reviewed scholarly journals.Your paper must include the following:The Final Paper:

Due Week 9 and worth 125 pointsImagine you work at a company and it is time for an employee named Jim’s annual review. While he was a model employee the first nine (9) months of the year, recently Jim has been coming in late. It has not been just a few minutes each day, either. It is starting to cause problems in the production line. In this assignment, write a one (1) page summary of your conversation with Jim. How will you address his recent performance issues while still praising him for his previous nine (9) months of good work? Your goal is to balance the negative and positive feedback so that Jim will leave motivated to do his best.Write a one (1) page paper in which you:The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:
