What if the bottom falls out? How can you prepare and protect yourself for bad times based on lessons learned from the Great Recession of 2008 and the Great Depression?

Facing economic change

The pace of economic and workplace change is faster than ever. How have people been affected by such changes in the past and how have they adapted? What lessons can we learn for success in the modern workplace to deal with the changes that might occur down the road?

Why do you think that the ilities are considered a part of systems engineering rather than design?

This worksheet will be graded with the Module Six Assignment .

1. Do the same disciplines apply to software and hardware? For example, does software “break” in the way that hardware does? Does it break without warning and unpredictably at all?

Your response:

2. Contrast the “traditional” ilities of reliability and maintainability with those of human factors and environmental engineering. In what ways are they similar? In what ways are they different?

Your response:

3. Why do you think that the ilities are considered a part of systems engineering rather than design?

Why do you think that the correlation looks weak in the scatter plot, when in fact the correlation is strong?Use the XLMiner app to determine the logistic correlation for the data. Does the p-value suggest a strong or weak correlation?

Choosing Regression Models

Using Excel’s trendline feature, find which type of model best fits the data, going by the r-value.

Find the equation of the trendline and use it to predict the value of Y corresponding to an X-value of 2.5.

According to the scatter plot, which model explains better the relation of the response to pain on obesity: linear, exponential, quadratic, or logarithmic?

According to the best regression model, what is the response to pain expected for a person with obesity of 50%? Is this prediction reliable?

According to the best regression model, what is the expected pain threshold for a person with obesity of 4.5%? Is this prediction reliable?

Create a scatter plot of the data in Excel. Based on the scatter plot alone, does the (logistic) correlation between SBP and 10-year CHD appear strong or weak?

Use the XLMiner app to determine the logistic correlation for the data. Does the p-value suggest a strong or weak correlation?

Why do you think that the correlation looks weak in the scatter plot, when in fact the correlation is strong?

Use the output from Excel to determine the equation of the best-fit logistic curve. You may want to revisit the video (Links to an external site.) to see how to do this.

What is the most commonly accepted explanation of why most people are slower on incongruent trials than on congruent trials in the Stroop task?

Stroop Effect

Discuss your experience (was it challenging? how do you feel you did?) and your results (provide the actual results, describe the results and compare to others in the MTSU group and global community).

Then answer the following questions:

Look at your individual data. Were you faster on congruent trials or incongruent trials? Does this surprise you? Why or why not?

What is the most commonly accepted explanation of why most people are slower on incongruent trials than on congruent trials in the Stroop task?

What strategy could one use to overcome the Stroop Effect observed in this demonstration?
