...SAMPLE LETTER FOR A BUSINESS (Date) (Name) (Business Name) (Address) (City, State, Zip) Dear (Name): I am a 4-H member in La Precido 4-H club in Clark City. We are one of 1,000 4-H groups across California that are planning local community service projects over the next two years celebrating the centennial anniversary of 4-H in California. We call this our Revolution of Responsibility. 4-H develops young people who are uniquely prepared to step up to the challenges of a complex, changing world. It encourages our members to become responsible, engaged citizens working toward creating important impacts that address issues facing our community both today and into the future. Through 4-H, we design and lead projects related to science, engineering, technology, health and nutrition which involve hundreds of families in our county. Currently, our group is planning a project designed to help young children discover the joy and science of growing their own food. We expect to accomplish this goal by building a community garden where children from Walter Reed School can learn about growing food and gardening. Walter Reed has many children from the Community Housing Project who have never had the opportunity to work in a garden. For them, science is primarily learned from books. We will work with the kids to raise crops that can be used to supplement their lunches with healthy food choices. Additionally, excess crops will be canned by our local 4-H canning project and...

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Corleone Pasta and Pizza will be an eat-in, carry-out restaurant, specializing in evening and weekend leisure dining. New Rochelle is a multicultural city with a lot of Italian descendants. The downtown, where Corleone Pasta and Pizza will be located, is a commercial area with lots of businesses, and a great spot to entertain.

...Understanding Business Research Terms and Concepts: Part 2 Ngoc RES351 April 8, 2015 William Khoepfer Understanding Business Research Terms and Concepts: Part 2 Businesses will always need market research and it generally falls into two different groups. Qualitative and Quantitative. Qualitative research is “Qualitative research is designed to reveal a target audience’s range of behavior and the perceptions that drive it with reference to specific topics or issues. The results of qualitative research are descriptive rather than predictive.” ("What Is Qualitative Research?” 2015). Quantitative research “is about asking people for their opinions in a structured way so that you can produce hard facts and statistics to guide you. To get reliable statistical results, it’s important to survey people in fairly large numbers and to make sure they are a representative sample of your target market.” ("What Is Quantitative Research?” 2015). There also are descriptive and statistical approach’s in this paper that will help with understand what is best for you business research. When constructing a business research there are several sampling methods that can be used. Some sampling methods would be simple random sampling, systematic sampling, cluster sampling and quota sampling and etc. The article I chose to do is called Qualitative and quantitative methods for sampling zooplankton in shallow coastal estuaries. “Many different devices are used for sampling zooplankton.

...1.12 What is the difference between a sample and a population? In most studies, it is difficult to obtain information from the entire population. We rely on samples to make estimates or inferences related to the population. Population means the population of the whole area. Sample means a sample of people taken out of the population to be tested or studied. 1.13 What is the difference between a statistic and parameter? The difference between parameter and a statistic is that a parameter is a number obtained by calculation from a population while statistic is a number calculated from a sample. A statistic is usually used to estimate a parameter. 1.22 A Gallup poll indicated that 74% of Americans who had yet to retire look to retirement accounts as major funding sources when they retire. Interestingly, 40% also said that they looked to stocks or stock market mutual fund investments as major funding sources when they retire. (data extracted from D.Jacobs, “Investors Look Beyond Social Security to Fund Retirement,” www.gallup.com, March 28, 2011). The results are based on telephone interviews conducted March 24, 2011, with 1,000 or more adults living in the United States, aged 18 and older. a. Describe the population of interest. They are the Americans that have not retire yet. b. Describe the sample that was collected. They are the 18 and older group of adults. c. Is 74% a parameter or a statistic? Explain.

Later 3G releases, often denoted 3.5G and 3.75G, also provide mobile broadband access of several Mbit/s to smart phones and mobile modems in laptop computers. “3G finds application in wireless voice telephony, mobile Internet access, fixed wireless Internet access, video calls and mobile TV. This is a set of standards used for mobile devices and mobile telecommunication use services and networks that comply with the International Mobile Telecommunications-2000 (IMT-2000) specifications by the International Telecommunication Union3G finds application in wireless voice telephony, mobile Internet access, fixed wireless Internet access, video calls and mobile TV” (Smith and Collins, 2000). 3G technology is the result of research and development work carried out by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) in the early 1980s. 3G specifications and standards were developed in fifteen years. The technical specifications were made available to the public under the name IMT-2000. “The communication spectrum between 400 MHz to 3 GHz was allocated for 3G. Both the government and communication companies approved the 3G standard” (CDG Market Trends and Facts). “The first pre-commercial...

...size of research population, it is not feasible to test all the individuals of the population since it will take too much time and will be expensive as well. So the researchers take few individuals from the research population ( a subset of the set of target population) using sampling techniques. These techniques helps to take out sample as per the requirements of the type of research that is to be conducted. A research population is also known as a well-defined collection of individuals or objects known to have similar characteristics. All individuals or objects within a certain population usually have a common, binding characteristic or trait. Usually, the description of the population and the common binding characteristic of its members are the same. "Government officials" is a well-defined group of individuals which can be considered as a population and all the members of this population are indeed officials of the government. There are various sources from which a sample is created. A set of all these sources is called a Sampling frame from which the sample is selected. With the help of sampling frames, researchers are able to select the sample population from the target population that will be tested for the research or survey. A sampling frame should have the following characteristics: Completeness: A frame should be complete in a sense that all the individuals of the target population should be covered in the frame.

...Population/Sampling Method Wal-Mart is a giant retail cooperation that is not able to provide adequate pay and benefits to the current employees (“Making change at Wal-Mart, 2014). One possible solution concerning this issue is to conduct research and to properly organize a way to survey or interview employees who are being directly affected. The target group in this research project would be Wal-Mart employees that are willing to participate in the study. These employees will range from different age groups, various backgrounds and cultures. Access to these employees would be during work hours or before or after work. Employees could come in early or stay late. Interviews could also be performed on days when business is slow. There are several types of sampling methods that can be used such as: simple random sampling, stratified sampling, systematic sampling, and cluster sampling (“Choosing a Sampling Method”, 2013). Random sampling is an effective way to measure the perspective of a group of people that is too large to interview (“Basics of choosing a survey population”, 2008). In this research, the random sampling will be the method used so that favoritism or being bias does not occur. Instruments Used Often times large groups of people are broken down into smaller groups because it can be too expensive and too time consuming (“Basics of choosing a survey population”, 2008). Some examples of instruments used to collect data are : informal and formal surveys, direct and...
