in this module. You have already engaged in the beginnings of the writing process of this essay. You have: Brainstormed ideas (see Chapter 11 in SMG) about the essay in the Discussion Board. Condensed your ideas down into manageable points around a working thesis. Displayed knowledge of Description essays from Learning Activities Drafted a Writing Activity (WA2) about this Description essay. Consulted with a writing tutor to find areas of strength and areas of improvement. Finally, you will now compose the final draft of a description essay that: contains a clear thesis identifies clear points to support your thesis engages in critical thought about the subject chosen uses 2-4 main ideas (points) that support your overall essay thesis allows you to expand on your chosen topic This essay assignment represents the first steps in writing any written essay for any academic course. The idea of thesis and support are the cornerstones of all essays. They represent the last part of the writing process. However, you may still revise your essay before final submission. This form of essay writing is the basis for all other academic writing pursuits. This skill translates to almost all careers that require critical thinking, critical reading, and responding in writing. Practicing "how to" write an essay carries over into any field's task of "what" you need to write. This skill will help with all formal writing. Task Write a 900-word essay, in MLA format, about a person or fictional character in whom you have an interest. Select a subject (person or fictional character you admire) Look to your Discussion (D1) and Writing Activity 2 (WA2) for your subject The person may be current or historical Some fictional characters have positive traits that can be identified. Select several (2-4) traits about the person or character that you admire and write about these. These will be the essay's main ideas. Biographical information should be used only to support claims. Your essay should focus on the traits you admire. Do not write a biography or tell a story. Example of what not to do: This person was born in 1979. They were born in middle Tennessee. They went to elementary school is 1985. They graduated in 1998. Instead, follow this example: This person was born in middle Tennessee. Entering elementary in school in 1985 was hard for them. They never felt that they belonged in kindergarten. However, they persevered, learning that school was a place for them to grow and be themselves. Focus on the "why" you admire them instead of a list of traits. In the above example, perseverance and learning to be themselves are the traits the writer of the essay admires. Organize your main ideas to establish the essay's pattern of organization. Your main ideas (traits you have chosen) need to be clearly organized. Decide in what order you wish to discuss these main ideas (traits) This organization needs to be presented in your introduction, preferably as the last sentence of your introduction in the thesis statement. Note: your thesis is generally the last sentence in your introduction, but it not a requirement. Follow this structure throughout the rest of the essay. Always check to see if your main ideas/topic sentences, in each paragraph, relate back to your thesis statement. Compose 5 well-developed paragraphs that support a clear thesis statement that is arguable. 5 paragraph minimum introduction paragraph introduces your essay and presents your thesis three body paragraphs Each paragraph contains one of your chosen admirable traits about your subject expressed in a topic sentence in your paragraph Each trait needs to transition to the next one in the next paragraph look to your chosen pattern of development conclusion paragraph rephrases your traits into one last paragraph reflects the earlier thesis, but with the knowledge of your traits expressed throughout the essay This essay is a basic form of an argument essay. The essay should make an argument such as that the person or character selected is worthy of admiration because of the traits selected.

cities?" In other words, "do people in the 6 cities wear the different mask types with similar likelihood?" Let's say you have 4 types of masks: N95, pleated blue polyester, cloth, neck gaiter. Then you'll have a data table that is 4x6 with how many degrees of freedom? With this table you only have one overall H0: the dist'n of mask types is the same for all 6 cities. The corresponding H1 is "at least one city is not like the others." What happens if you have a violation of Cochran's Rule among the 24 expected values? What will you do?

of $100 equals 20% . Included in the 20% margin is sales commission which equals 10% of the $100 , which is $10. If I decrease the commission to only 3% , $3 instead of the 10%, $10 , what will my new deal margin be? After we cut the commission on the deal , we are also going to reduce our price to the customer by 6% . What does the 6% represent in terms of overall dollars on the $100 service and what would the deal commission be after this additional change to the financial structure of the deal?

each type of classification error. [Note that all bank models here include only profits and losses within three years of when a card is issued, so the impact of out-years (years beyond 3) can be ignored.] Cost Per False Negative: $5000 Cost Per False Positive: $2500 For the 600 individuals that were automatically given cards without being classified, the total cost of the experiment turned out to be 25%*($5000)*600 or $750,000. This is $1,250 per event. Only models with lower cost per event than $1,250 should have any value. Question: What is the threshold score on the Training Set data for your model that minimizes Cost per Event? You will need this number to answer later questions. Hint: Using theAUC Calculator Spreadsheet, identify which Column displays the same cost-per-event (row 17) as the overall minimum cost-per-event shown in Cell J2. The threshold is shown in row 10 of that Column. What the threshold means is that at and above this number everything is classified as a "default."
