...HOW SAD IS YOUR STATE? STATISTICS FINAL PROJECT MARK GRUNEWALD I chose to explore the topic of if individuals in overall colder states have more cases of depression than in the warmer states. While doing research on this topic I stumbled upon many different reasons as to why my topic could be proven factual. The first disorder I found was Seasonal Affective Disorder which is primarily individuals whose moods are determined by the weather.

I chose to accept this topic because rarely so I hear anything about SAD let alone someone talking about it. WHAT IS SAD?

Seasonal affective disorder has not been long recognized as an official diagnosis. The term first appeared in print in 1985. Seasonal affective disorder is also sometimes called winter depression, winter blues, or the hibernation...

...MM207 Final Project 1. Using the MM207 Student Data Set: a) What is the correlation between student cumulative GPA and the number of hours spent on school work each week? Be sure to include the computations or StatCrunch output to support your answer. My answer : 0.27817234 (from StatCrunch): Correlation between Q10 What is your cumulative Grade Point Average at Kaplan University? and Q11 How many hours do you spend on school work each week? is: 0.27817234 b) Is the correlation what you expected? My answer: No. I expected the correlation to be much higher because the more hours you study should equate to a much higher GPA – in theory that is. c) Does the number of hours spent on school work have a causal relationship with the GPA?

While I have always been interested in Project Management, I have more hands on experience in the business sector, primarily accounting. Prior to my experience in the business sector, I was involved in the legal world working as a paralegal. I very soon realized that this was not the career that I wanted to pursue for the rest of my life. Working as a paralegal made me realize that while this was a recognized position, it was not highly regarded and that I have always been more of a leader. I knew that I wanted to lead a team of talented individuals all working towards the same goal. That being said, we will venture through the details of becoming a Business Manager versus becoming a Project Manager. To gain a firm understanding of which career I am best suited for, I will compare job specific criteria to assist in my final decision. Including but not...
