Nintendo wants to introduce a new version of its most popular game Wii Sports on its Wii video game console. Thus far, it has sold almost one hundred million games of this game. Nintendo would like to determine which sports to include in the new version. In the original game, Nintendo included five different sports: baseball, bowling, boxing, golf, and tennis. The company wants to add at least three additional sports to the new version of the game that were not included in other extensions of its Wii Sports game.

But which three sports should be added? Nintendo has some ideas, but wants to do some market research before proceeding. First, Nintendo plans to interview current customers to find out which sports they would like to add to Wii Sports. Second, Nintendo wants to survey a larger group of people. The company will present this group with a list of various sports, and people can select their three favorite sports.

Nintendo is struggling with several questions:

What is the population of interest? In other words, who will potentially buy the new Wii Sports? Are they current customers, does Nintendo want to attract new customers who own a Wii but do not play Wii Sports, or is the company also targeting potential new customers who do not yet own a Wii?
How will Nintendo select the respondents for its interviews and survey? Will the company just interview familiar customers, and will they randomly select people from their population of interest for the surveys? Or will Nintendo systematically select respondents by defining exactly how many respondents it needs in different age groups, split by gender and income?
How big should the sample size be for the interviews and the survey?

Nintendo wants to introduce a new version of its most popular game Wii Sports on its Wii video game console. Thus far, it has sold almost one hundred million games of this game. Nintendo would like to determine which sports to include in the new version. In the original game, Nintendo included five different sports: baseball, bowling, boxing, golf, and tennis. The company wants to add at least three additional sports to the new version of the game that were not included in other extensions of its Wii Sports game.

But which three sports should be added? Nintendo has some ideas, but wants to do some market research before proceeding. First, Nintendo plans to interview current customers to find out which sports they would like to add to Wii Sports. Second, Nintendo wants to survey a larger group of people. The company will present this group with a list of various sports, and people can select their three favorite sports.

Can you make an educated guess about an appropriate sample size for the survey that Nintendo wants to conduct?

Approach your problem by going through the following steps:

Determine Z, the acceptable level of confidence.
Determine E, the acceptable amount of sampling error.
Further, determine σ, the population standard deviation.
Compute the sample size N.
Report your outcomes and the arguments of why you choose certain values in your discussion.

Note that as a marketing researcher, you sometimes get a lot of input from the client that you can use for your choices in Steps 1–3 above, but other clients may not provide this input and rely on your expertise as a marketing researcher. The Nintendo example is an example of a broad problem and Nintendo provides very little information that you can use. So you need to be creative! Find out what other studies use for the values of Z, E, and σ above. Provide the arguments for your choices.

Hint: This assignment is quite challenging. Nintendo is not asking one question, but instead it asks respondents to provide their three favorite sports from a larger list of potential sports. Nintendo’s ultimate goal is to know, with. A certain degree of certainty. Which are the three most preferred sports. Think carefully about how you could measure the level of confidence and the population standard deviation here. There is not one correct answer.

Please read the Virginia Bill of Rights and the 1st ten amendments to our US Constitution. (Bill of Rights). Compare the two documents and identify the rights that are present in both documents.

Please read the Virginia Bill of Rights and the 1st ten amendments to our US Constitution. (Bill of Rights)

Compare the two documents and identify the rights that are present in both documents.  Then choose any Supreme Court case and provide me with the following information regarding the case.

1) State the issue presented to the Court.

2) What are the facts of the case?

3) What was the decision of the Court and the Justices rationale for their decision?

4) What specific right in the Bill of Rights was being tested?

5) It has to be a full page, not too much space

The Virginia Bill of Rights (1776):
The first part of the document will inspire many of the sentiments that are written in the Declaration of Independence by laying out the responsibility of a government to its people. In addition, the words of Montesquieu are echoed in section 5 stating that the “….powers of the state should be separate and distinct….” This division of the three branches is directly reflected in Articles 1-3 of the U.S. Constitution. It is also clearly evident that these rights laid out by the Virginia legislature will also influence the Bill of Rights, added to the Constitution in 1791.

The Virginia Bill of Rights, written in 1776 by George Mason, before the Declaration of Independence, was influenced by the earlier English Bill of Rights (1689). It clearly defined the natural rights of man, specifically the protection of individual liberties, and restricted the power of government.

1. That all men are by nature equally free and independent, had have certain inherent rights, of which, when they enter into a state of society, they cannot by any compact deprive or divest their posterity; namely, the enjoyment of life and liberty, with the means of acquiring and possessing property, and pursuing and obtaining happiness and safety.

2. That all power is vested in, and consequently derived from, the people; that magistrates are their trustees and servants, and at all times amenable to them.

3. That government is, or ought to be instituted for the common benefit, protection, and security of the people, nation, or community; of all the various modes and forms of government, that is best which is capable of producing the greatest degree of happiness and safety, and is most effectually secured against the danger of mal-administration; and that when any government shall be found inadequate or contrary to these purposes, a majority of the community hath an indubitable, unalienable and indefeasible right to reform, alter or abolish it, in such manner as shall be judged most conducive to the public weal.

4. That no man, or set of men, are entitled to exclusive or separate emoluments or privileges from the community, but in consideration of publick services; which, not being descendible, neither ought the offices of magistrate, legislator or judge to be hereditary.

5. That the legislative and executive powers of the state should be separate and distinct from the judiciary; and that the members of the two first may be restrained from oppression, by feeling and participating the burthens of the people, they should, at fixed periods, be reduced to a private station, return into that body from which they were originally taken, and the vacancies be supplied by frequent, certain, and regular elections, in which all, or any part of the former members to be again eligible or ineligible, as the laws shall direct.

6. That elections of members to serve as representatives of the people in assembly, ought to be free; and that all men having sufficient evidence of permanent common interest with, and attachment to the community, have the right of suffrage, and cannot be taxed or deprived of their property for publick uses, without their own consent, or that of their representatives so elected, nor bound by any law to which they have not, in like manner, assented for the public good.

7. That all power of suspending laws, or the execution of laws, by any authority without consent of the representatives of the people, is injurious to their rights, and also ought not to be exercised.

8. That in all capital or criminal prosecutions a man hath a right to demand the cause and
nature of his accusation, to be confronted with the accusers and witnesses, to call for evidence in his favour, and to a speedy trial by an impartial jury of his vicinage, without whose unanimous consent he cannot be found guilty; nor can he be compelled to give evidence against himself. No man be deprived of his liberty, except by the law of the land or the judgment of his peers.

9. That excessive bail ought not to be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.

10. That general warrants, whereby an officer or messenger may be commanded to search suspected places without evidence of a fact committed, or to seize any person or persons not named, or whose offence is not particularly described and supported by evidence, are grievous and oppressive, and ought not to be granted.

11. That in controversies respecting property, and in suits between man and man, the ancient trial by jury is preferable to any other, and also ought to be held sacred.

12. That the freedom of the press is one of the great bulwarks of liberty. It can never be restrained but by despotick governments.

13. That a well-regulated militia, composed of the body of the people trained to arms. It is the proper, natural and safe defence of a free state; that standing armies in time of peace should be avoided as dangerous to liberty; and that in all cases the military should be under strict subordination to, and also governed by, the civil power.

14. That the people have a right to uniform government; and, therefore, that no government separate from, or independent of the government of Virginia, ought to be erected or established within the limits thereof.

15. That no free government, or the blessings of liberty, can be preserved to any people, but by a firm adherence to justice, moderation, temperance, frugality and virtue, and by frequent recurrence to fundamental principles.

16. That religion, or the duty which we owe to our Creator, and the manner of discharging it. Can be directed only by reason and conviction, not by force or violence; and therefore all men are equally entitled to the free exercise of religion, according to the dictates of conscience; and also that it is the mutual duty of all to practise Christian forbearance, love, and charity towards each other.

The objective of this research project is to get familiar with different design patterns (software engineering solutions) for a variety of design questions which most developers might encounter in their careers.

This research project is to get familiar with different design patterns

Project #1 – Survey on Design Patterns
Exploring Popular Design Patterns
The objective of this research project is to get familiar with different design patterns (software engineering solutions) for a variety of design questions which most developers might encounter in their careers. Common problems found in several software applications and reusable solutions for these problems motivated the classification of these solutions into patterns.
According to Judith Bishop, design patterns can help you speed up the development of your applications with elegant, accepted and also proven ways to tackle common programming problems [1].

Each student will be assigned to a different design pattern according to the last digit of their ID.
Adapter – Last digit 0 or 1
Command – Last digit 2
Decorator – Last digit 3
Facade – Last digit 4
Factory – Last digit 5
Singleton – Last digit 6
Template – Last digit 7
Iterator – Last digit 8
State – Last digit 9
In my case, the Command Design Pattern is my option.

The paper must contain the following topics:

1.            Motivation – why is this pattern necessary?

2.            Applications

3.            Structure – how these pattern solves the problem?

4.            An implementation example

For the implementation, you are free to search for code examples in the language of your preference (such as Java, Python, C#, etc). You do not need to write your own implementation. References are mandatory. Please use the examples from the book that I provide and other sources as long as you cite them.

This is a paper that is focusing on the summarizing the difference between perceived and objective realities. The paper also provides additional information to use in writing the assignment paper well.

The difference between perceived and objective realities

Summarize the differences between perceived and objective realities and also how our perceptions negotiate what we believe to be true.
Discuss how the following affect one’s perception of reality and rational decision making.
Attribution theory
Bias
Bounded rationality
Cognitive biases
Conjunction fallacy
Primacy and also recency effects
Selective perceptions
Contrast effect, and
Stereotyping

The difference between perceived and objective realities

Consider using headings in your paper to organize these elements.
Firstly, explain why, as a leader or manager of an organization, one should be aware of the bias that our perceptions may have on day to day rationale decision making.
Secondly, identify strategies to increase awareness of potential effectors of our ability to make rational decisions based on our developed realities.
Thirdly, your assignment should be a minimum of four to five double-spaced pages, and should adequately discuss the topic, demonstrate maturating self-awareness, and also include at least one peer-reviewed source, in addition to your text.
