Usability Journal
For the Usability Journal assignment, you are to write three (3) journal entries.
- Each entry shall be approximately 300-400 words each.
- Each entry shall focus on an object that contains a bad usability design.
- Explain why the object being described does not maintain good usability practices.
- The deliverable shall include citable examples of best practices from academic literature explaining why the product/object does not follow best practices.
Example:
- A remote control.
What about the remote control makes the device both a good and bad example for the usability perspective?
Each deliverable will contain:
Three entries with 300-400 words for EACH entry
APA citation with examples from scholars explaining best practices that should be followed
An example image of the bad design practice followed
An example of good potential practices to followplease find the attachment for Problem solving questions.

Application Problem #
1
INSTRUCTIONS:
After reiewing the weekly readings and powerpoints, please complete the following:
1. Describe one specific example in which a regression/Pearson Product moment correlation could be used to help make an informed decision. Please write in complete sentences. (10 points)
2.
Make a table that contains data that would be used to perform an analysis. Use your answer from #1 as the basis for your table. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO COLLECT DATA FROM AN OUTSIDE SOURCE. Make up the data that would make sense in the situation that you described in #1. (1
5
points)
3
. Run the analysis in JASP, Excel, or another program and record/upload your results. (10 points)
4
. Explain what decision you would make based on the results of the analysis that you performed. (15 points)
Example:
1. A coach wanted to know if the number of hours of practice per week shooting free throws improved the players skill in shooting free throws over the
8
week basketball season.
2.

3. The value of R is 0.9606. The P-Value is .000148. The result is significant at p < .05.
4. As a coach, I see that the data shows a strong correlation between the number of hours of practice and the number of free throws made. Therefore, I would encourage my players to practice free throws as much as possible. The data shows a strong positive correlation.

Application Problem #2
INSTRUCTIONS: Read the paragraaph below, then answer the questions following the paragraph.
Janice is a production manager for a company that designs and produces hydraulic valves that are used in aircraft systems. The company is concerned that the number of valves not meeting the strict measurement parameters has incereased over the past several months. She implements a quality control program that includes random inspections. Employees are notified that these inspections will help the company to reduce expenses from poor product quality. Janice runs the program for 9 months and performs a different number of inspection each month. The table below shows the number of inspections and the number of faulty hydraulic valves produced each month.
Inspections |
Number of faulty valves |
9 | |
Run the analysis and answer the following questions:
1. Does the number of inspections result in fewer faulty valves? (Run the analysis and report the results)(25 Points)
2. What decision should Janice make regarding the quality control inspections? (25 points)
