Task 2: Due Saturday Nov 28
We have viewed how Blockchain has made a significant impact on businesses and industries.  Select one industry and highlight the advancements Blockchain has had on that single industry.
Requirements:

• Be approximately five pages in length, not including the required cover page and reference page.
• Follow APA 7 guidelines. Your paper should include an introduction, a body with fully developed content, and a conclusion.
• Support your answers with at least FOUR scholarly journal articles to support your positions, claims, and observations..
• Be clearly and well-written, concise, and logical, using excellent grammar and style techniques. You are being graded in part on the quality of your writing.

The COSO framework of internal controls is practiced within companies around the world. The objectives of the COSO framework are closely related to its five components. For this week’s activity, please discuss these five components of the COSO framework. Be sure to include each components’ impact on each of the COSO framework objectives. What do you feel an auditor would most be concerned with during an IT audit? Lastly, discuss suggestions for integrating COSO framework compliance into a company in which you are familiar.
Your paper should meet the following requirements:
• Be approximately four to six pages in length, not including the required cover page and reference page.
• Follow APA7 guidelines. Your paper should include an introduction, a body with fully developed content, and a conclusion.
• Support your answers with the readings from the course and at least two scholarly journal articles to support your positions, claims, and observations, in addition to your textbook. The UC Library is a great place to find resources.
• Be clearly and well-written, concise, and logical, using excellent grammar and style techniques. You are being graded in part on the quality of your writing.

Submission Example
csci333-project-XX
csci333-project-XX.doc
Task1XX.py
task2XX.py
README.txt
What to Submit
1. One doc file “csci333-project-XX.doc” including the text source code and screenshots of the
outputs of all programs. Please replace XX with your first name and last name. You can
copy/paste the text source code from Pycharm or other IDEs into the doc file. Hopefully,
based on the screen snapshots of the output, you can show that your programs passed tests
and were well.
2. Python files for all programs. In well-defined programs, proper comments are required. For
programs without comments, they will be deducted greatly in grade.
3. Note that if any program or code does not work, you can explain the status of the program or
code and then attach your explanation and description in a file “README.txt”.
4. Optional. Anything you want to attract the attention of instructor in grading.
Task 1 (50 points): (Intro to Data Science: Survey Response Statistics) Twenty students were
asked to rate on a scale of 1 to 5 the quality of the food in the student cafeteria, with 1 being
“awful” and 5 being “excellent”. Place the 20 responses in a list.
1, 2, 5, 4, 3, 5, 2, 1, 3, 3, 1, 4, 3, 3, 3, 2, 3, 3, 2, 5
Write a program that does the following:
(a) Determine and display the frequency of each rating.
(b) Use the built-in functions, statistics module functions and NumPy or Panda functions covered in the
course materials to display the following response statistics: minimum, maximum,
range, mean, median, variance and standard deviation.
(c) Display a bar chart showing the response frequencies and their percentages of the total
responses.
Grading Rubric
– 10 points for defining functions.
– 15 points for finishing Task1(a)-(c).
– 5 points for appropriate comments.
– 10 points for a runnable python program with correct data visualization.
– 10 points for screenshots of the program.
Task 2 (50 points): (Classification with k-Nearest Neighbors and the Digits Dataset) Read the file
“09-02-MachineLearning.pdf” and the python program “CaseStudy1.py” to learn the algorithm
of k-Nearest Neighbors with the Digits dataset for recognizing handwritten digits.
Re-write the python program by doing the following subtasks:
(a) Write code to display the two-dimensional array representing the sample image at index 24
and numeric value of the digit the image represents.
(b) Write code to display the image for the sample image at index 24 of the Digits dataset.
(c) For the Digits dataset, what numbers of samples would the following statement reserve for
training and testing purposes?
X train, X test, y train, y test = 1
train test split(digits.data, digits.target, random state=11, test size=0.60) 2
(d) Write code to get and display these numbers.
(e) Rewrite the list comprehension in snippet [50] using a for loop. Hint: create an empty list
and then use the built-in function “append”.
Grading Rubric
– 15 points for finishing Task2(a)-(e).
– 5 points for appropriate comments.
– 20 points for a runnable rewritten python program
– 10 points for screenshots of the program.
