Please follow the instructions for each section and subsection and complete the following research project in detail and with comprehensive input.

Provide in-text citations and list all references. Project Topic: "Exploring the Prevalence of Homelessness in Sacramento County: A Comparative Analysis with Other Counties in California"

Hypothesis: Sacramento County has a higher number of homeless individuals per capita than other counties in California. For this research, use the year 2021. Data Sources to be used for this research are Linked here: California's Homelessness Response System Acts: https://www.bcsh.ca.gov/calich/hdis.html California Counties by Population: https://www.california-demographics.com/counties_by_population

Throughout provide in-text citations, and they must be done correctly. Each citation must have a corresponding listing in the Reference section. Abstract: The abstract can be between four hundred to six hundred words. Introduction: In one-thousand words, provide an overview of the Project. Background of the Study: provide a one-thousand-word history of the ideas and issues related to the research topic. A description of the events leading up to this research. Problem Statement: In one-thousand words, provide the reason(s) why this research project is essential. Purpose and Objectives of the Study: In one-thousand words, describe the specific elements of the problem the research addresses. The rationale of the Study: In one-thousand words, describe and develop the reasons for examining the elements described in the purpose and objectives section. Definition of Terms: In one-thousand words, list definitions for only those that might be unfamiliar to the reader, especially those that can be considered terms of art and operational definitions. Limitations of the Study: In one-thousand words, describe self-imposed limits on the research, including those that relate to both the breadth and depth of the inquiry. Theoretical Framework: In one-thousand words, describe if the research is driven by, or relates to, a particular theoretical orientation. Research Hypotheses: In one-thousand words, describe, based on the purpose and objectives, what are the expected outcomes for the research. Summary of Remaining Chapters: In Three hundred words, describe, include a summary of the first chapter, and describe the content of the remaining chapters. Chapter II Literature Review: The second chapter should not be confused with the Introduction in Chapter I. The introduction provides a review of the topic; the Literature Review summarizes what has been said about the topic in one-thousand words. This chapter will contain the most significant number of citations, and Each citation must have a corresponding listing in the Reference section. The Literature Review should not include data that will be used to answer the research question or test your research hypotheses. Chapter III Methodology: In one-thousand words, describe how the data were collected that answers the research question and its component parts. Begin with a description of the research methods used in the research, including a description of the dependent and independent variables. There will not be any original data collection, as you will use secondary data. Chapter IV Results: In one-thousand words, describe this chapter, including a presentation and analysis of the data, not how the data was collected. The chapter's tone is purely objective, devoid of assumptions and interpretations.

When analyzing data, provide the following statistics. Frequency Distribution, Graphical Presentations: Frequency Polygon Normal Probability Distribution, Z score: number of standard deviations a score of interest falls from the mean of the normal distribution.

X would be the per capita numbers for Sacramento U would be the average of all other the state counties Divided by the standard deviation of all counties.

Standard Deviation: Step 1- Calculate the mean. Step 2- Subtract the mean from every item. Step 3- Square the difference for each item. Step 4- Sum the squared differences Step 5- Divide the sum by the number of items (N) to get the variance Step 6- Take the square root of the variance to find the standard deviation.

Chapter V Discussion, Conclusions, and Recommendations: In two-thousand words, describe this chapter involves (a) a discussion of the research Project, including the findings, interpretation of the results, and problems and/or limitations; (b) a conclusion: what did the author find? What did the author learn? And (c) recommendations for changes in policy or practice, future research, or anything else that will direct solutions to the problem(s) that were the focus of the research. Endnotes: In one-thousand words, describe endnotes that supplement or amplify information in the text. References: List all references used in your research. Those cited in the text appear in the Reference section, and conversely, every work in the Reference section must appear in the text.
