Body mass index (BMI) is a reliable indicator of body fat for most children and teens. BMI is calculated from a child’s weight and height and is used as an easy-to-perform method of screening for weight categories that may lead to health problems. For children and teens, BMI is age- and sex-specific and is often referred to as BMI-for-age.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports BMI-for-age growth charts for girls as well as boys to obtain a percentile ranking. Percentiles are the most commonly used indicator to assess the size and growth patterns of individual children in the United States.

The following table provides weight status categories and the corresponding percentiles and BMI ranges for 10-year-old boys in the United States.

Health officials of a Midwestern town are concerned about the weight of children in their town. They believe that the BMI of their 10-year-old boys is normally distributed with mean 19.2 and standard deviation 2.6.

In a report, use the sample information to (Show your work)

  1. Compute the proportion of 10-year-old boys in this town that are in the various weight status categories given the BMI ranges.
  2. Discuss whether the concern of health officials is justified.

Business Process Modeling Assignment

DCS Company

The DCS company sells constructions supplies to building contractors, mostly on a wholesale basis. The company has been in business for over 30 years. The current owner is Frank Davis, although the company was originally founded by his father, James Davis. When he retired in 2014, the elder Davis handed the business over to his son, who has run it ever since.

The company operates in small county-a rural area where most people in the building trades know each other well. For this reason, the company extends credit to its regular customers, many of whom have done business with it for years.

You’ve been assigned to a consulting team, and your job is to document the company’s credit purchases authorization. The rules are as follows:

§ Purchases of less than $100 that are made by known customers in good standing are approved automatically by sales department.

§ Purchases between $100 and $500 require authorization by a supervisor.

§ Purchases above $500 must be approved by the accounts receivable manager.

§ Credit purchases attempted by new customers not yet approved for credit or by customers not in good standing are denied.

Requirements:

1.     business process model for this task (You may use Visio, Excel, or Word)

2.     Does the business process model suggest control problems with the current business rules? If so, what do you recommend for improving their business process and rules?

Compose a 1750 words essay on Evaluate the role of religion in the perpetuation and resolution of conflict. Needs to be plagiarism free!

ry religion has been a major engine to war, bloodshed, hatred and intolerance, in most case we have seen religion acting as an arbitrator between the conflicting parties. Therefore, to resolve conflicts between conflicting parties, religion has used empathy, openness to and even encouraged love for strangers, the suppression of unbridled ego and acquisitiveness, the communicative of human rights, unilateral gestures of forgiveness and humility, interpersonal repentance and acceptance of responsibility in past errors as a means of reconciliation and the drive of social justice.

Religion has emphasized that people should view life as sacred and a gift offered to humankind by God. Therefore, each person should value others life by avoiding hurting the inner feeling either by messing with ones peace of heart by conflict or by murder. Many religion has encourage to practice the virtue of love to each other by practicing forgiveness in case one wrong the other instead of engaging themselves in a tug of war as a means of conflict resolution. Therefore, the sanctity of life should be observed at personal, social and political level.

Religion has practiced the aspect of interiority by observing disciplines even in societies that are quite communally oriented. Through prayer, meditation, the experience of divine love, ecstasy, guilt and repentance all reflect the central importance of inner life of a person. When religion influences all these virtues in inner life of people it encourages people to have conflict resolution techniques. Conflicting parties through application of religious virtues are able to have self-control of their ego through the practice of love and kindness to each other.

The role of empathy in western religion and traditions is critically essential. Religion has impacted the experience of empathy in terms of religious contexts to people either in terms of advocacy and long-term education or more directly in the workshop setting. For example, there is

as well as its approximation using Simpson’s rule. For the exact value, you should use the pnorm() command in R. The arguments to this function should be: mu, the mean of the distribution (i.e. μ in the formulae above); sigmasq, the variance (i.e. σ 2 in the formulae); a and b, the integration limits a and b; and n, the value of n to use in Simpson’s rule. The default value of n should be 100. Your function should return a list containing components p.approx, the Simpson approximation to the probability; p.exact, the value obtained using pnorm(); n, the value of n; and p.error, the difference p.approx-p.exact. You may use the dnorm()command to calculate the normal probability density function if you wish. 

Your second function should be called SimpsonTest(). Its purpose is to evaluate the error of the Simpson approximation to P(a < X ≤ b) for different values of n, and to estimate the value of α as described in the introduction above. The arguments to this second function should be: mu, sigmasq, a, b, and n.grid. These all have the same interpretation as the corresponding arguments to normprob(), except for n.grid which should be a vector of values for n. Your SimpsonTest()function should use normprob()to obtain a vector of approximation errors for each value of n in n.grid. It should then use lm() to regress the log of the absolute approximation error against the log of n.grid, and take the estimated slope of the regression as an estimate of -α. The function should return a list containing components n.grid (the value of n.grid), p.error (a vector containing the absolute values of the approximation errors) and alpha (the estimate of α).
