question 11 (mandatory) (10 points)
universal intellectual standards guide you through the process of validating
information and asking questions to collect accurate data. choose 2 of the 9
universal intellectual standards from your textbook and explain how you would
apply them in a situation requiring valid, accurate data that might occur in your
future career. write one well written paragraph

Explanation:

First Question (Multiple Choice)

To identify and organize problem - related information, we analyze each option:

• Option a: Getting advice is about seeking external input, not directly about identifying and organizing info about the problem itself.
• Option b: Journaling ideas is more about recording thoughts, not the core of identifying and organizing problem - specific information.
• Option c: Carefully defining the problem is a crucial step in identifying and organizing information related to the problem. When we define the problem precisely, we can figure out what information is relevant and how to organize it.
• Option d: Asking key questions is a way to explore the problem, but it is more about inquiry during the problem - solving process rather than the initial identification and organization of problem - related information. Defining the problem gives a clear framework for what we are dealing with, so it is the best choice for identifying and organizing information about the problem.

Let's choose two Universal Intellectual Standards, for example, Clarity and Accuracy. In a future career as a data analyst, when collecting data for a market research project, Clarity would be applied by ensuring that the questions in the survey (used to collect data) are clear. For instance, instead of asking "How do you feel about products?" we would ask "On a scale of 1 - 10, how satisfied are you with the quality of our products?" This clear question helps in getting data that is easy to interpret. Accuracy would be applied by cross - checking the data sources. If we are collecting sales data, we would compare the data from the company's internal sales system with the data from the accounting department to make sure that the sales figures (the data) are accurate. Another example could be in a healthcare career. For Clarity, when documenting a patient's symptoms, we would use clear and specific terms like "The patient has a persistent cough (occurring 5 - 6 times per hour) with greenish sputum" instead of vague terms. For Accuracy, when recording a patient's medication dosage, we would double - check the prescription and the patient's medical history to ensure that the dosage is accurate and won't cause any adverse reactions.

Answer:

c) carefully defining the problem.
