Watch three videos (“Measure of Center ‘Mean,'” “Measure of Center ‘Median,'” and “Measure of Center ‘Mode'”) in the Calculations section of “The Visual Learner: Statistics,” located in the Topic 2 Resources.  

Go to the Random.org website, provided in the Topic 2 Resources, to generate a set of random numbers. Click on the “Get Sets’ link at the bottom left of the page to generate some data. (Note: If you are not able to access the link, you can randomly generate 10 numbers yourself for this calculation.)

Imagine these numbers are the care satisfaction scores from a recent sample of discharged patients. Randomly select one row of numbers to use for the following calculations:

  • What was the mean?
  • What was the median?
  • What was/were the mode/s?
  • Given that the range of data was between 1 and 20, what do these numbers tell you about the overall satisfaction of the patients?
  • If you were reporting these scores back to your supervisor, how would you explain or interpret these satisfaction scores?

Initial discussion question posts should be a minimum of 200 words and include at least two references cited using APA format. Responses to peers or faculty should be 100-150 words and include one reference.

In your reading of 
Chapter 10 – Encountering Judaism: The Way of God’s People as well as the other readings for the week, you have gained a better understanding of central themes of Judaism. As you learned more about the religion, you may have noticed the many similarities that Judaism shares with Christianity as the relationship between the two religions rather unique. Christianity is rooted in Judaism historically, scripturally, liturgically, and even theologically. No two major world religions have so much in common. Below are a handful of the common elements shared by these two religions, however it is important to note that even though these religions share several common elements, they articulate them differently. Last week, we expounded upon how some of these themes are understood in the context of Catholicism and now you will describe how they are understood in Judaism.

Select the two themes  below and present the Jewish teaching on the chosen theme.

· Jewish Understanding of God

· Freedom and Free Will


Each selected theme must:

· Each theme must Be explained in at least two paragraphs

· Incorporate at least 2 direct quotations with accompanying in-text citations from either the required weekly readings or a resource found on the “Judaism Resources” page linked below
