A manufacturing firm produces pads of bound paper. Three percent of all paper pads produced are improperly bound. An inspector randomly samples two pads of paper, one at a time. Because a large number of pads are being produced during the inspection, the sampling being done, in essence, is with replacement. What is the probability that the two pads selected are both improperly bound?

Utilize Internet search engines to identify an incident involving corruption or misconduct involving a criminal justice professional. Provide a brief summary of the incident (don’t forget to cite your source). In your opinion, why did this incident occur? Potential explanations include:
1) Unique personality characteristics of the criminal justice professional;
2) Organizational explanations (e.g., the culture within a department/agency, an ineffective disciplinary system, etc.);
3) Societal explanations (e.g., the message society sends to criminal justice professionals regarding their perceived role, etc.).
Additionally, provide suggestions regarding steps that can be taken to reduce the possibility that this type of misconduct will occur in the future.

Discuss how criminal investigations in the future will likely be more complex and global than in the past. What factors may make this statement true? Do a little research and find and discuss one type of crime that has emerged within the past three (3) years and has significantly impacted criminal investigations and how.

THIS ASSIGNMENT MUST BE ASSIGNED TO THE EXPERT POOJA
Directions:
In an essay (250-500 words), use the scenario presented above to answer the following questions:
1.What statistical test was used in “Using Teacher-Written Praise Notes to Promote a Positive Environment in a Middle School?”
2.Did the authors use the correct statistical test? In other words, what was their rationale for using this test (i.e., were the variables discrete or continuous and was the test appropriate for this type of data?)
3.What was the research question? How did the statistical test address and answer the research question?
4.How did the authors interpret the results of this study?
Tips for the Module 6 Analysis of Research assignment:
• I have to give you a big warning about the article for the analysis of research assignment. It is long enough that I don’t want to stick it in the announcement, and it will probably make more sense after you have read the article, so I am going to put it into this week’s CAT question in the 6.1 DQ. Make sure you take a look at that after you have read the article, especially if you want to do a quantitative dissertation as I have seen quite a few learners make the same error in planning their dissertations.
• The authors do more than one analysis for the data they collected, which can get confusing when trying to identify what analysis they did in question 1. However, the instructions for the assignment also limit you to reading specific paragraphs of the assignment: If you stick to identifying only the statistical analysis presented in the parts of the article assigned, then you should be better off with identifying the statistic required by the assignment.
• Just as with previous papers, be as specific as possible when identifying the statistic as possible. There are again several different statistics that could fall under a broad label of analyses, so if you use the broad label rather than a specific statistical analysis name, it will be marked incorrect. However, you have learned about specific types of that statistic and should identify which type. Hint: If you are having trouble here, look at the APA publication manual table for statistical abbreviations as that can give some good clues as to what the general category is for the statistic that was used!
• I realize it is a bit confusing as to why the assignment asks if it is the correct statistical test in #2, and then ask again about the statistical test addressing the research question in #3. It may help to pretend that the question in #2 is “ Did the authors use the correct statistical test to analyze the variables they measured?” to distinguish it better from #3 which is more about comparing the statistical test to the stated research goal. For #2, focus on comparing the situation in the study with the requirements for running the particular type of statistical test you identified in #1. If you try to answer #2 with restating the purpose to the study, I will consider #2 as being incorrect.
• When the directions state “at least two additional scholarly research sources” what that means is at least two sources outside of the assigned readings of this course, so your textbook and assigned research article do not count towards the two additional sources.
• When the directions state the two additional sources must be “related to the topic” it means that these sources should be relevant to the topic of your answers to questions 1-4 when determining the quality and significance of the assigned article. Presenting additional information about punishment in education or praise or the topic area of the Nelson et al. paper would not count towards the minimum number of scholarly sources related to the topic. Looking up scholarly information about determining appropriate statistics and how the research design affects statistics will help you understand the course material and how to answer the questions in this assignment appropriately. Looking up information on educational practices will not.
• Make sure you understand the difference between how an author reports results and how an author interprets the results before answering the final question. Here’s a hint: Reporting results takes place in the results section, and interpretation of the results takes place in the discussion section. If you focus on material presented in the results section when answering question #4, the answer will not be correct.

Agency Interview for Program Evaluation
Students will interview either a practitioner or program manager/administrator of the organization/program that students plan to evaluate. In the interview, students will ask such questions as how the practitioner evaluates her/his practice OR how the organization evaluates its program(s).
