Summary is a natural place to start any writing activity that involves reading other texts. Summary is often used as a prewriting step to clarify the author’s actual message and purpose. Often this involves active reading, highlighting passages, annotating in the margins, and rereading. It’s very difficult to use someone else’s words and ideas when you aren’t certain what is really going on in the text.

For this assignment, you are asked to compose an effective summary of the Frederick Douglass “Escape from Slavery” essay. To help you compose an effective summary, please review the linked document How to Write a Summary. Also, be sure to refer to the active reading strategies you reviewed and practiced in Module 1.

Concepts to keep in mind when writing a successful summary:

• Summary definition: a summary provides a concisely expressed explanation of the selection’s content: what the author’s main points are, what particular methods the author uses, etc. Your focus in summary writing is always on the primary and main supporting points rather than on the details of the text.
• The text is objective: this means you should not editorialize or evaluate the text by either reading between the lines or judging the article as “masterful” or “insulting,” etc.
• The text is in third person: For a brief summary like this there are no reasons for any “I” statements like “I think she’s saying…” or “I believe…,” etc.
• The author is the subject in most, if not all, sentences. Remember, it is people who write, not articles, so avoid phrases such as “The article is saying…” Instead, start most sentences with subject/verb like this: “Heywood argues…,” “The author claims…,” “She supports her assertion with…,” etc.

Requirements:

• The summary is a minimum of 10 sentences long (maximum length is two pages) not counting the required title and reference pages.
• You have maintained objectivity and refrained from passing judgment.
• The author is included throughout the summary.
• The first sentence includes the title of the article and the author’s name.
• The text has been proofread for coherence, readability, and grammar errors.

In this case, you are provided information regarding selling prices and costs of several products offered by Mendel Paper Company. In addition, management has concerns about sales mix and rising costs. Address the questions (1-5) at the end of the case. Based on the case questions, you are required to provide a three to five double-spaced written report (excluding the title and reference pages), addressing management’s concerns. The written report should be properly formatted according to APA guidelines and demonstrate research and critical thinking skills. Conclusions and recommendations should be supported by at least two scholarly sources from the Ashford Library or other external sources, excluding the textbook.

 

For Questions 1 through 4, you will need to complete several calculations – be sure to label and clearly identify your work to demonstrate your understanding of the concept even if you are not sure if you have arrived at the correct answer. The calculations should be included as part of your analysis and written report required for submission.

 

For Question 5, fully address management’s concerns as part of your written analysis using the original or revised estimates to support your recommendation/explanation. As part of your written analysis, include how management might use these calculations to make decisions.

1. a) What is a confidence interval?
2. b) Assuming we’re working with the same data, would the 90% confidence interval be wider or narrower than the 95% confidence interval?
3. c) How would you describe the concept of Margin of Error (E)?
