Scenario

ABC Enterprises is a small company, with 45 employees, and has been in business for three years. It is an e-business, dealing with the online sale of fortune cookie sayings, so all business transactions are conducted through the Internet.

The IT director has brought security consultants in to propose recommendations for improving their network security and perimeter protection. In addition, a secure VPN solution is required.

With the recent economic downtown, GIAC is very conservative about spending money for new purchases unless there is a justified return on investment. (There is a budget of $7,500 for hardware and software for this project.) Therefore, the design goal is to provide a layered security design, also known as defense-in depth that is easy to maintain and manage.

Task 1: Plan and design firewall solutions

  • Determine level and nature of security needed to meet ABC Enterprises
  • Identify security potential threats

Task 2: Configure perimeter to secure network

  • Configure basic functionality of devices to allow access such as ACLs, DHCP, routing NAT (can be one of them)
  • Configure advanced function DMZ

I need assistance with the following two scenarios please.  I have attached the needed spreadsheets and the instructions are as listed below.  Thanks!

Practical Application Scenario 1

To complete this scenario, use SAS Enterprise Guide or the Confidence Interval Calculator and the Area Gas Prices document, provided in Updates and Handouts.

The Star Tribune newspaper has decided to write an article about gasoline prices in the Twin Cities area (Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota). The newspaper has designed a survey and taken a simple random sample of regular unleaded gas prices at 70 area stations. The results are in the Area Gas Prices file. The newspaper’s policy is that no data will be reported unless they are 95 percent confident that the numbers are correct. As the new manager of the data verification unit at the Star Tribune, you need to develop a 95 percent confidence interval for the average price of regular unleaded gasoline in the Twin Cities area.

You already know how to compute sample parameters, like the sample mean and sample standard deviation; this scenario simply asks you to complete a confidence interval for the data provided and communicate the results to the Star Tribune’s business manager.

Practical Application Scenario 2

To complete this scenario, use the Sample Size Estimator file provided in Resources.

The third shift at the Microsoft’s Windows security unit in Redmond, Washington is considering replacing its coffee brewing units with new German-made brewers. As the newest member of this elite Microsoft team, you have been assigned to investigate this proposal. Develop a 99 percent confidence interval for the average yield (cups per pound) for the new German coffee brewer. The margin of error should be no bigger than 0.3 (three tenths of a cup). Based on experience with the current coffee makers, your best guess for the population standard deviation, sigma, is 1.2 cups. How big of a sample do you need? Calculate the estimated sample size needed for the above scenario and communicate your findings to the business manager.

Assignment Submission

Compile the two practical application scenario answers into one Word file (submitted as a .docx file) and copy the Excel or SAS output into that document. Highlight your numerical answers for both practical applications scenarios in yellow, and then right after that numerical solution, be sure to summarize your findings in a three- to five-sentence paragraph to the scenario manager.

Submit your report to the assignments area for grading. Please note that assignments must be submitted to the assignments area for grading. Work e-mailed or otherwise presented can not be graded in accordance with Capella Grading Standards. Because of the nature of statistics-based assignments, your instructor cannot give feedback on drafts of your work. Instead, if you have questions as you complete assignments, you are encouraged to attend the weekly supplementary instruction sessions or to consult the archived sessions for suggestions. Refer to the scoring guide prior to submission to ensure you meet all evaluation criteria.

Assignment Solutions

Each week, after your unit assignments are graded, solution sets will be posted in the Updates and Handouts section for your review. Be sure to compare your work to the posted solutions, as the review is an important part of the learning process.

Hello, I am looking for someone to write an article on Qualitative research and quantitative research. It needs to be at least 250 words. Qualitative research and quantitative research Research involves scientific exploration of data for development of new knowledge base that may aim atbridging identified knowledge gap, developing theory, or verifying an existing theory. Research can be qualitative or quantitative and this paper defines the two types and supports the position that quantitative research is more valid than qualitative research.

Qualitative research defines a natural approach to analysis of a subject matter. The researcher investigates subjects in their natural occurrence and from people’s perspectives, a scope that identifies a subjective approach and applies strategies such as “case studies, personal experience, life story, interview, and observation” among other techniques (Neergaard and Ulhoi, 2007, p. 5). Quantitative research however defines a scientific approach to measurement and evaluation of relationships between variables. It involves a systematic and predetermined approach that develops hypothesis from background information on a topic of interest, collects data, and analyses data for evaluating the set hypothesis (Nykiel, 2007).

Quantitative research is more valid than qualitative research and difference in characteristics of the two research methods support this. Level of objectivity of quantitative research than qualitative research methods establish higher-level validity on quantitative research than on qualitative research because qualitative research is subjective and therefore susceptible to bias from researchers and research participants. This is contrary to the scope of quantitative research whose data and data analysis methods are, significantly, independent of researchers and research participants’ influence. Quantitative research designs, such as experimental and quasi-experimental designs, also ensure accuracy of collected data towards validity. The deductive approach of quantitative research as compared to qualitative research’s inductive approach also supports higher-level validity in quantitative research (Hays and Singh, 2011).
