  • “Modeling the Spread of a Disease Using Dice: A Party Simulation”

    Activity 1 Directions: Using Dice to Model the Spread of a Disease You have been invited to a party with 39 other people. OH NO – it is discovered after the party one of the guest has an infectious disease. Were you infected? Procedure: We will assign each of the 39 other guest a number (1-39). You will be number 40. We first need to determine which other guest came to the party with the disease. To do this we will use a random number generator. Use https://www.random.org/
    to find a random number between 1 and 39. Record this number on your record sheet. This will be the guest with the disease. Next, we use a dice to simulate the variability of the number of infected people. The number of newly infected people caused by each infected people at each step is determined by the value of tossing a fair dice, so the infection rate is not fixed. 
    Number on die                                                           Number of newly infected peopls
    1                                                                                           0
    2                                                                                          0
    3                                                                                          1
    4                                                                                          1
    5                                                                                          2
    6                                                                                          2
    Stage One: Use the random number generator, https://www.random.org/integer-sets/, to generate a list of numbers. You should generate 40 numbers between 1 and 40 in one column. (We now use 40 numbers, since you are included in this spread of the disease.) Record these numbers on your list. On your list cross off the number of the initially infected person you found in stage one. This list is the order in which people will become newly infected. Roll a fair die. If you do not have die you can roll a virtual die here https://www.random.org/dice/. If the die shows 1 or 2, you have no newly infected people. Leave the stage one newly infected people blank on your record sheet and move to stage two. If the die shows 3 or 4, you have 1 newly infected person. Write down the first non-crossed off number on your list of the 40 random people under stage one newly infected people on your record sheet . Cross this number off your list and move on to stage two. If the die shows 5 or 6, you have 2 newly infected people. Write down the first two non-crossed off numbers on your list of 40 random people under stage one newly infected people. Cross these numbers off your list and move on to stage two. 
    Stage Two: Roll a fair die for each infected person in the previous stages and the initially infected person. Now the disease is spreading from each infected person. Use the same procedure from stage one for each dice roll. Make sure you record the ID number for each newly infected person under the stage two on your record sheet. 
    Stage Three: Once you have finished crossing off the newly infected people from stage two, you now roll the die again for each of these infected people. For example if you are starting stage 3 and you had 2 newly infected people in stage 1 and 3 newly infected people in stage 2, you would need to roll the die 6 times (initial person, 2 from stage 1, and 3 from stage 3). Use the same procedure from stage one for each dice roll. Make sure you record the ID number for each newly infected person under the appropriate stage on your record sheet. 
    Stages Four – Six Continue rolling the die for each infected person from the previous stage. Record the newly infected people. Reflection Answer the reflection questions on the record sheet and turn in your record sheet on Canvas.

  • Title: Using Quantitative Reasoning to Solve Real-World Problems: A Case Study in Data Analysis

    I have already completed the outline for this assignment and am now needed the final paper. I have attached the outline I submitted, the instructions for this assignment, and the template that must be used for the final paper. 
    Specifically, you must address the following:
    Part One: Context
    In this section, you will introduce your chosen scenario and discuss how math can be used to solve the problem. Use the data sources associated with your scenario to address the following criteria in Part One.
    Describe how math is used in your chosen scenario.
    Consider whether you will use formulas, comparisons, proportions, percentages, conversions, or other applications of mathematics for data analysis.
    Describe the specific mathematical elements that are presented in the scenario.
    Consider how parts of the scenario can be viewed from a mathematical perspective.
    Describe the characteristics of quantitative data in your chosen scenario.
    Discuss how any of the characteristics of the data (mean, median, range, or standard deviation) can be used to understand the problem within your chosen scenario.
    Explain how the measures of center (such as the mean or median) can be used to understand what measure is “typical” or “average” in the data.
    Explain how the measures of variability (such as the range or standard deviation) can be used to understand how spread out the data points are or to compare each data point to the mean.
    Look for possible patterns or trends in the data.
    Explain the relevance of quantitative reasoning to your chosen scenario.
    Consider how the data that is summarized in charts, tables, or diagrams can be interpreted and used to provide meaningful information about the context of your scenario.
    Part Two: Questions and Answers
    In this section, you will discuss how math could be used to analyze your scenario and propose a solution. Address the following criteria in Part Two.
    Analyze your scenario for specific mathematical techniques that will guide your approach to the scenario’s solution.
    Consider if you can apply algebraic, geometric, or statistical analysis or other methods to your scenario’s solution.
    Identify mathematical problems associated with your chosen scenario that could be answered with various forms of data visualization.
    Consider questions related to possible trends, patterns, comparisons of different groups, etc.
    Describe how you would solve the problem(s).
    Refer to the mathematical problems you identified in step 6 above. How would you answer these questions?
    Describe appropriate mathematical strategies for your chosen scenario.
    Part Three: Informed Decisions
    In this section, you will reflect on the importance of data analysis to make informed decisions. Use the Project Resources in the Supporting Materials section. You may add charts/diagrams, but they are not required and do not count toward the required page count. Address the following criteria in Part Three.
    Articulate how data analysis could be used in your chosen scenario.
    Consider how to describe, summarize, and evaluate data to form a conclusion.
    Explain how data can be used to support informed decision making.
    Consider how the absence of research can impact a decision.
    Explain the value of using multiple credible sources of data to make informed decisions.
    Describe the purpose of using quantitative reasoning to make informed decisions in a given scenario.
    Did your data analysis reveal anything interesting or unique?
    What to Submit
    To complete this project, you must submit the following:
    Submit the completed Project Template as a 3- to 5-page Microsoft Word document with 12-point Times New Roman font, double spacing, and one-inch margins. Use at least three sources to support your paper. All sources used, including those provided or student-sourced, should be cited in APA style.
