In this week’s Discussion, you determined the benefits of visually displaying your data. You also learned that different types of data require different visual displays to adequately “tell the story” of the phenomena. Although the Discussion was difficult, what is even more difficult and challenging will be deciding on how best to display the data for presentation purposes. As you move further along in your dissertation or doctoral study, you will find that displaying data will be critical component in presenting a robust and clear capstone project.
For this Introduction to Quantitative Analysis Assignment, you will explore how to visually display data for optimal use.
To prepare for this Assignment:
Review this week’s Learning Resources and consider visual displays of data.
For additional support, review the Skill Builder: Unit of Analysis and the Skill Builder: Levels of Measurement, which you can find by navigating back to your Blackboard Course Home Page. From there, locate the Skill Builder link in the left navigation pane.
Using the SPSS software, open the Afrobarometer dataset or the High School Longitudinal Study dataset (whichever you choose) found in this week’s Learning Resources.
From the dataset you chose, choose one categorical and one continuous variable and perform the appropriate visual display for each variable.
Once you visually display each variable, review Chapter 11 of the Wagner text to understand how to copy and paste your output into your Word document.
For this Assignment:
Write a 2- to 3-paragraph analysis of your results and include a copy and paste of the appropriate visual display of the data into your document.
Based on the results of your data, provide a brief explanation of what the implications for social change might be. Early in your Assignment, when you relate which dataset you analyzed, please include the mean of the following variables. If you are using the Afrobarometer Dataset, report the mean of Q1 (Age). If you are using the HS Long Survey Dataset, report the mean of X1SES.
Use appropriate APA format. Refer to the APA manual for appropriate citation.

As the Lieutenant in charge of an investigations unit you are charged with investigating citizen complaints against your detectives. Today you took a complaint about one of your detectives. Lately he’s had several informal complaints against him, but nobody seems to want to file a formal complaint and all the complainants have been anonymous. The complaint you received today was vague, simply stating that the detective was rude and seemed to have better things to do than chat about the call he was investigating.
As a Lieutenant you realize that not everyone is going to be happy with the way police handle calls, but that doesn’t mean they were handled inappropriately. You mention the complaint with the detective’s direct supervisor, Sergeant Serna, who expressed concern over the detective’s actions and general attitude within the last couple of months. When the Sergeant tried to speak with the detective about what was going on, he simply brushed her off mumbling, “I’m getting too old for this job!” Since no formal complaints had been filed, she didn’t pursue the issue any further.
Considering this scenario, write a well-crafted paper addressing the following questions:
How seriously should informal complaints be taken? Should more weight be given to a known complainant than an anonymous complainant?
What might be some of the sources of the detective’s negative attitude?
Do you feel this is a situation is important enough to be addressed? Why or why not?
What might some of the effects of the detective’s attitude be on fellow officers and the department as a whole?
Assume your advice to Sgt. Serna is that she needs to address the issue with the detective. How should she proceed with properly intervening and documenting the action taken?
Week 2: Discussion 2
Please note that this is not always easy or obvious, as it is a rare event to find a theory or concept paper that exactly mirrors your topic. Consult with the Walden Library to be creative with keywords and search strategies that will generate a scholarly article (or articles) appropriate to your topic.
For this Discussion, you will examine the theoretical and conceptual frameworks in qualitative research.
To prepare for this Discussion:
· Review the Grant and Osanloo article related to conceptual and theoretical frameworks found in the Learning Resources and consider how a conceptual framework differs from a theoretical framework.
· Use the Course Guide and Assignment Help to help you search for a research article on your topic of interest that uses a theoretical or conceptual framework. (Note: This can be the same article as the one you will use for your Annotated Bibliography in this week’s Assignment.)
· Post an explanation of how Grant and Osanloo (2014) describe the differences between conceptual and a theoretical framework. Support your explanation with examples from the article as well as from your texts.
· Be sure to support your main post and response post with reference to the week’s Learning Resources and other scholarly evidence in APA style.
