The big data that is considered the most is the costs savings that IBM Watson will bring to the clinics, the barriers to implementation and education points that need to be further addressed. 

The costs savings is the most valuable of the data that is given.  Cost savings is something that is needed in healthcare in almost every organization.  Finding ways to save money and time ultimately improves patient care, but then being able to put more time and money into patient resources.

Technical Instructions:

• If you need to draw a straight line: Click Insert, Shapes, select the straight downward sloping line. At this point, the cursor should change to a + sign. Position the plus sign over the point where you want to start the line, click and hold the left mouse button, then drag the line to the point where you want the line to end. Release the mouse. Then you can move the line around by clicking on the line and adjusting it in various ways.
• If you need to draw a curved line:  Click Insert, Shapes, select the shape called “arc.” At this point, the cursor should change to a + sign. Position the plus sign over the point where you want to start the curved line, click and hold the left mouse button, then drag the line to the point where you want the line to end. Release the mouse. Then you can move the line around by clicking on the line and adjusting it in various ways. Clicking on the green handle at the top of the curve allows you to rotate the curve.
• If you need to draw a label of any kind: Click Insert, Text Box, Simple Text Box. You can then type inside the box, and move it around by clicking on the handles on the perimeter of the box.
• If you need to color a line or curve: Right click on the line, select Format Auto Shape, Color. You can also change the line to a dotted line from this screen as well.

            If you are using Open Office or some other word processor, the steps will be quite similar, but not exactly the same. In any case, do some experimenting and get some help if necessary; and you will do fine. This is not an art class, and I don’t expect perfection in these matters.  

Each question on this assignment will be assigned point values, for a total of 10 points for this assignment.

1. Briefly explain why a profit-maximizing firm will not choose to produce at a quantity where marginal cost exceeds marginal revenue. (1 point)

2. Briefly explain why the firm will not choose to a quantity where marginal cost is less than marginal revenue.  (1 point)

3. Briefly explain why as output increases total cost eventually rises faster than total revenue for a perfectly competitive firm.  (1 point)

4. Since a perfectly competitive firm can sell as much as it wishes at the market price, why can’t the firm simply increase its profits by selling an extremely high quantity? (1 point)  

5. Russell has started a lawn-mowing business, but it isn’t going very well.  His fixed costs are a truck, trailer and some equipment that has been rented for four more months at a cost of $1500.  If he continues operating over these four months, the cost of labor (both his own and his employees) will be $4,000.  Russell is worried about whether to keep the business going.  If he expects to earn $6,000 in total revenue over the next four months, should he keep operating?  Explain.  What if he expects to earn $7,000 over the next four months?  Explain.  What if she expects to earn $8,000 over the next four months?  Explain.

For this assignment I need help writing a rhetorical analysis of Michelle Alexander’s Introduction. Michelle Alexander begins the Preface to her book, The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness, by writing, “This book is not for everyone. I have a specific audience in mind.” She then clarifies the THREE specific audiences she has in mind for her book. We are not left to guess, then, about her target audience if we consider the Rhetorical Situation of her writing. You need 4-6 pages that analyze the rhetorical situation of  her text. Start analysis by by composing an introduction paragraph containing the following elements:in one or two “hook” sentences, introduce the issue that Alexander is writing about

• after introducing the author’s name and book title, write a 3 -5 sentence summary of Alexander’s “Introduction”
• after your intro, indicate that you will be analyzing her rhetorical strategies
• make clear who her three target audience are (from the Preface) and clearly select just ONE of those audience to help focus your rhetorical analysis. Let your reader know in your introduction which of the three audiences you are focusing on for your analysis.
• end by writing a thesis that makes a claim about her use of rhetoric in relation to your selected audience. Analyze her strategic appeals to ethos, including at least two examples (facts, details, or past experiences she reveals about herself) that are meant to present herself in a certain way to her audience. Describe how these examples are meant to portray the author. Add critical commentary on why she attempts these strategies with reference to your selected target audience. Analyze her strategic appeals to pathos, including at least two examples (attempts to appeal to her target audience’s values, emotions, or beliefs). Name or describe the specific emotions, values, or beliefs being appealed to– be clear about that. Comment on what is strategic about these appeals given your selected target audience. Consider what her appeals to pathos suggest about Alexander’s assumptions about the target audience.Analyze two of Alexander’s Stasis Arguments by locating those arguments, clearly naming which stasis argument they represent, and elaborating on why you think those arguments are particularly effective or ineffective with reference to your selected target audience?
