Although fast food is convenient and inexpensive, we as a society need to stop eating fast food because it has increased health problems. We have to develop ways to eat healthy instead of tempt to choose fatty food that is served in school cafeterias, can be contributing to children becoming obese. There needs to be adjustments to the menus so schools could serve the proper nutrition that children need to stay healthy, as well as preventing this issue from happening in the future. It is important to understand what children are eating at school and if the can potentially cause them to become obese. The food industry often hides the methods of how their food is being produced using excuses like business secrets to cover it up. However, in the end consumers have the right to know what they are eating. Childhood obesity has escalated over the past decades and it is only getting worse. According to The National Academies Press(2005), “Nationwide, roughly nine million children over six years of age are obese— with elevated risks of both health conditions, such as diabetes, hypertension and poor quality of life, possibly throughout adulthood”. Obesity can cause numerous health problems such as heart disease, diabetes, cancer and even death. Obesity in children is now, more than ever, becoming a serious threat. Obesity affects almost everyone, whether it is a family member, a friend, or even yourself...

...Problem & Exercise Chapter 8 3. A report is meant for reading and information, so if a report is not properly put together then these things can happen: * listed with no page numbers then they can be shuffled and get out of order * putting the headings of the columns on every page (if not it is information overload & you will lose you place) * having incorrect information/data * missing one of the who, what, when, or where (software error) * data errors The consequences to these errors are: * the wrong decisions can be made * the data can given or received can be wrong * the outputs are wrong If the analyst can notice most of the errors as he is working on them so that it may be corrected then this can help keep the project of the report going without too many complications. Prototyping is very helpful when working on reports because the analyst is able to structure and refine the report before it is viewed by the mass majority without the consequences of errors. 4. The date does not specify when the report was generated; it does not give a revision date or code for any prior report versions, does not provide any meaningful information, there is not any page number listed, the spacing of the report information does not seem to be in place.

...1. One of the potential problems mentioned in this chapter with gathering information requirements by observing potential system users is that people may change their behavior when observed. What could you do to overcome this potentially confounding factor in accurately determining information requirements? A great way to overcome this problem is to get an anonymous person to conduct the observation. Without the people having this knowledge, this will allow the system users to act normal. This would allow for accurate gathering of information. 2. Suppose you were asked to lead a JAD session. List ten guidelines you would follow in playing the proper role of a JAD session leader. I would make sure all the proper personal are going to be present. These being the users, managers, sponsor, system analyst, scribe and IS staff. By doing this I have to make sure I have the expenses organized, from flying people in to the meeting room. Time management is very important to this because the longer it takes the more expensive it will be. In order for the meetings to proceed smoothly, the proper tools have to be present. These tools are flip-chart paper, whiteboards, and audiovisuals. Communication is going to be very important in these meetings since everyone will have something to say about the systems, this being good or bad. I have to make sure everything stays on track and at the end of these meetings a solution is found for the problem. 3. What unique rules apply to drawing...

...It’s important to use systems analysis and design methodologies because many software projects have a 20% success rate. In order to reduce risk a structure should be applied to account for all of the company’s needs and concerns with a project. By using an engineering approach, you’re using proven methodologies which can be applied for future projects and each time your strategy can be tweaked and improved to perfection. Prototyping is part of the feasibility analysis phase of SDLC. A simulated prototype of the target system is created which provides a glimpse of what the main system would be like. In addition, this helps in pre-analyzing the behavior of the target system, known as a POC (Proof of Concept). In the section on choosing off-the-shelf software, eight criteria are proposed for evaluating alternative packages. Suppose the choice is between alternative custom software developers rather than prewritten packages. What criteria would be appropriate to select and compare among competing bidders for custom development of an application? Define each of these criteria. The criteria for off-the-shelf software is Cost, Functionality, Vendor Support, Viability of Vendor, Flexibility, Documentation, Response Time and Ease of Installation. In terms of Custom software developers you want to make sure that the flexibility and support can be achieved if you should decide to cut ties with the developer. Another words, you would want an open API so another developer can support...

Based on this E-R diagram, answer the following questions: (5 points) a. How many PROJECTs can an employee work on? As we see the sign for mandatory many there are 2 entity with 2 entity type b. What is the degree of the includes relationship? Between Tool and Task we got Binary Relationship Many to many if say” tools”, otherwise it will be one to many. c. Are there any associative entities on this diagram? If so, name them. No. between tools and city we do not need to have any associative entities. An associative entity is a relationship that the data modeler chooses to model as an entity type d. How else could the attribute Skill be modeled? We can use a multivalued attribute may take on more than one value for each entity Project _ID-Employee_ID Task_ID all in one box e. Is it possible to attach any attributes to the Includes relationship? Tasks require Time and Skill, and have to be done in the city by an employee who has an ID and carries tools. f. Could TASK be modeled as an associative entity? Yes it can as our book explain: An entity type that associates the instances of one or more entity types and contains attributes that are peculiar to the relationship between those entity instances. 16.

...Problems and Exercise 1. Why is it important to use systems analysis and design methodologies when building a system? Why not just build the system in whatever way seems to be “quick and easy?” What value is provided by using an “engineering” approach? It is a good idea to use a system analysis and design methodologies when building a system because it creates a system that creates solutions for the entire business unit, instead of wasting resources patching the issues as they come. 8. How might prototyping be used as part of the SDLC? Prototyping can be used within the SDLC methodology by falling into the testing phase of the system. Since prototyping is creating a version of the software, it could be used to test for bugs, and make upgrades as necessary. 3. Suppose the choice is between alternative custom software developers rather than prewritten packages. What criteria would be appropriate to select and compare among competing bidders for custom development of an application? Define each of these criteria. • Cost – Comparing the cost of developing the same system in-house to cost of purchasing. • Functionality – if the software will meet the function requirements. • Vendor Support – Refers to whether the vendor can provide support, and how much. • Viability of Vendor – How reputable the vendor is, and how long they will continue to be in business. • Flexibility – Refers to how easy it is for you or vendor to customize the package • Documentation – Includes...

...Chapter 3 Problems/Exercises, Questions 2 and 4. 2. What are some sources of risk in a systems analysis and design project, and how does a project manager cope with risk during the stages of project management? Some risks involved in a systems analysis and design project are critical resource availability, the potential of new technology and unfamiliarity of use, user resistance to change and regulatory constraints. A project manager copes with as well as prepares for the risk with good communication, detailed assessments and supporting information to show the concerns have been addressed. The initial project phase will start with employees and project team’s communications to define concerns that will be helpful to ensure the end product does not significantly raise these concerns. The design stage, after careful consideration of the concerns, and risks will design and address needs as well as improve current and upcoming concerns prior to the start of the project. Once the development & implementation phase is up, the risk assessments should continue to be revised to ensure the worries that were addressed by the project manager & team that were not predicted are minimize or eliminated as they arise. 4.

...CHAPTER 1: Exercise 14 If Ken stayed open on Saturdays, the added income would be $130,000 per year ($2,500 x 52), while the additional costs are shown to be $1,000 ($700 + $500 + $100 + $200). Using these two figures, we can calculate the opportunity cost (the loss from an opportunity not taken), which would be $1,500 ($2,500 - $1,000). To me, this says that Ken should keep his shop open on Saturday’s. Rent or depreciation of office equipment do not need to be calculated because these are fixed costs. They would not change regardless of how many days his shop is open nor his shops production. Also, rent of course would not change if his shop stays open on Saturday’s because rent covers the whole month. Problem 2 a.) If we reference 1-1 so we can see the production costs, we need to add the ingredient costs of $20,000 + labor costs of $12,000, totaling $32,000. Then divide that by the number of jars that actually produced (25,000). This equals $1.28/one jar of salsa. The incremental cost is calculated as follows: $1.28 x 50,000 (extra jars of salsa) = $64,000. b.) The revenue started out at $1,625,000 (325,000 jars x $5.00), while the new revenue would be $1,725,000 (375,000 x $4.60). After calculating the difference, we can see that the incremental revenue after the reduction of price would be $100,000 ($1,725,000 - $1,625,000). c.) Yes, he should lower the price of its salsa. Problem 4 a.) On page 6 of our text book, we learn about the Management...

...Material Sustainability Problems The MTH/209 Week Five Learning Team assignment requires each team to select a scenario and explain how algebraic concepts underlie sustainable environmental, business, or human health practices. Concept of Sustainability Sustainability may broadly be defined as the ability of any system to sustain itself. Sustainability principles can apply to many areas, including human health, finances, and the environment. The following are details about how sustainability may be applied to environmental science, business, and human health practices for the purposes of this assignment: • Health practices focus on the ability of a human body to sustain itself. Such things as the intake of food versus the output of energy are part of this equilibrium. Current medical knowledge and practices of the health care industry also play into the equilibrium and health of people’s bodies. The word sustainability could be used as another word for equilibrium. If you choose this scenario, here is a list of problems from the text that address health sustainability. You can refer to this list for ideas for your presentation. Vary your selections so that each problem addresses a different math concept. o Section 4.3, Exercises, problem 59 (Skin Cancer) o Section 4.3, Exercises, problem 61 (Burning Calories) o Section 4.4, Exercises, problem 73 (Maximum Heart Rate) o Section 4.4, Exercises, problem 75 (Height and Weight) ...
