I calculated three probabilities in Benchmark 2. I did this in one way I used the same way for all three, but all three scenarios were different. For the first scenario there was one action play, one sound device, one conic device that repels zombies and one work schedule. To find the probability of this outcome I had to times the conic device and the sound device’s fraction together because they're the same. The fractions are 13/100. After I multiplied this fraction I added all three of the fractions together, which were16910,000+829+425. Adding all of these together I got .45276, which gives us a 45% chance of survival for this example. For the second example I took two action plans, one sound device, one conic device that hides you from
This experiment was performed twelve times, on three subjects, over a period of 4-6 weeks. The first subject was a six-year-old boy named Gideon (results are shown in Figs.1-4). His initial blood pressure was 92/53 mmHg; this stayed consistent throughout the entire experiment. The first genre of music that was tested was rock music (Fall Out Boy: My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark). The first time the experiment was performed, his blood pressure was 98/55 mmHg, the second time it was 99/56 mmHg, the third time it was 99/55 mmHg, and the fourth time it was 98/56 mmHg. The second genre of music that was tested was country music (Carrie Underwood ft. Sons of Sylvia: What Can I Say?). During the first trial, his blood pressure was 91/53 mmHg, the second time it was 92/54 mmHg, the third time it was 91/52 mmHg, and the fourth time it was 92/53 mmHg.
The birthday paradox helps calculate the probability that within n randomly chosen people, some pair will have the same birthday. According to the pigeonhole principle, which states that if m objects are placed into n number of containers, where m > n, at least one container will carry two objects; the probability that there will be at least one pair of people that have the same birthday, will be 100%, if there are 367 people in the room. This is due to the fact that there are 366 possible birthdays, if you include February 29th, and if you have 367 people at least two of the people will have to have the same birthday. But if you have just 70 people the probability is still 99.9%, and 50% is achieved with just 23 people.
In this experiment, there were several objectives. First, this lab was designed to determine the difference, if any, between the densities of Coke and Diet Coke. It was designed to evaluate the accuracy and precision of several lab equipment measurements. This lab was also designed to be an introduction to the LabQuest Data and the Logger Pro data analysis database. Random, systematic, and gross errors are errors made during experiments that can have significant effects to the results. Random errors do not really have a specific cause, but still causes a few of the measurements to either be a little high or a little low. Systematic errors occur when there are limitations or mistakes on lab equipment or lab procedures. These kinds of errors cause measurements to be either be always high or always low. The last kind of error is gross errors. Gross errors occur when machines or equipment fail completely. However, gross errors usually occur due to a personal mistake. For this experiment, the number of significant figures is very important and depends on the equipment being used. When using the volumetric pipette and burette, the measurements are rounded to the hundredth place while in a graduated cylinder, it is rounded to the tenth place.
Introduction to the basic concepts of probability and statistics with discussion of applications to computer science.
Authors Walter Mosley and Suzan-Lori Parks are two contemporary African-American writers who have enriched the literary world with multiple works that deal with everything from personal demons to issues faced by entire generations and cultures. Walter Mosley created the engrossing tale of “Equal Opportunity,” a story of an older black man who decides after decades of inactivity to rejoin productive society. Author Suzan-Lori Parks entertained readers and theater goers with her story of two competing brothers in the play Topdog/Underdog. Despite both literary works being provocative tales of able-bodied black men these two stories do not represent African-American literature as defined by Gibson and Warren but rather depict a contemporary dilemma
Urban legends are the supernatural folklore of our modern society. From one generation to the next, they orally travel throughout the world, constantly changing from one region to the next. Although cultural variations exist, the core of all these urban legends remains the same, to unveil the universally known individual and societal fears. “The Graveyard Wager” is a timeless urban legend told again and again, and the one of which I will explore more in depth.
The Beck Anxiety Inventory was designed by Aaron T. Beck and is self report scale that consists of 21 items. The items are short and straightforward, making it easy to read and comprehend. All items are related to anxiety and describe a symptom of anxiety that is rate on a four point likert scale according to severity. The answers range from 0-3 and the responses range from “not at all” to “severely; I could barely stand it” and all items are added for a total score. The instructions on the test ask for the respondent to “indicate how much you have been bothered by each symptom during the past week, including today, by placing an X in the corresponding space in the column next to each symptom” (Dowd, 2008). The assessment is intended for adolescents and adults and can be administered individually or in a group setting. An additional copy of the inventory test is also available in Spanish. It was originally created from a sample of 810 outpatients of that were predominately affected by mood and anxiety disorders and research on the original development is described as informative and thorough.
Comparing trials 1 and 3 would determine the order of the reaction with respect to the persulfate ions. The reaction order for persulfate is one.
In Feedback as a gift, Friedrich discusses his points on how feedback should be viewed. The author describes feedback as a gift and if we view it that way it would change our mindsets when receiving it. On another note the article by Stone and Heen, Difficult conversations 2.0: Thanks for the feedback, the main focus is on the benefits we receive from accepting feedback and becoming a skillful receiver. The author also discusses why we as humans reject feedback calling these reactions triggers. In Max Performance Feedback, Sadri and Seto discuss the three different types of feedback. Each articles content is crucial to one’s professional development.
Marilyn Von Savant, thought to have the highest IQ in the world, replied that if the contestant switches doors, he or she has made the right choice, in order increase to a 2/3 chance of winning. This sparked outrage from magazine readers and mathematicians alike, who intuitively thought that it should make no difference whether the contestant chose to switch doors or not. In reality, switching actually doubles your likelihood of winning. Here is the logic behind it: first the contestant will chose a door, and has a 1 in 3 chance of picking the door with a car behind it. Without showing the contestant what is behind the door they picked, the host opens a different door. The host knows where the car is hidden, thus will 100% of the time chooses a door without a car behind it. Between the two remaining unopened doors, the odds have now shifted. The host could only identify the non-car door based on two options, instead of three. Therefore, the contestant has a 1/3 chance of winning if they stay with their original pick, and a 2/3 chance of winning if they
Let’s say that a year is always 365 days long. The chance that the second classmate has the same birthday is 1/365. To find the probability that both people have the same birthday, we must multiply their separate probabilities…
This experiment proves how mathematics and probability differ from our own view of things. According to Science Buddies, “The objective of this project is to prove whether or not the birthday paradox holds true by looking at random groups of 23 or more people”("The Birthday Paradox", 2013). Even though there are 365 days a year, if you pick a small amount of people, there is at least a 50% probability that two of those people will have the same date of birth. If the number of individuals in a confined space gets larger then the chance of having the same birthday would be larger -birthday paradox. According to Erika Batista and her set of peers, “… most people wrongly expe...

Years passed and Bob had become old and poor. He finally made an official apology to his workers, but it didn’t really matter anymore. Jeff’s business had become successful and prosperous just like Bob’s had long ago. The workers were happier under Jeff’s management and he made sure that they all were paid a fair amount. Due to Bob’s obscure firings the Monos government created worker protection law. This secured workers so an event like that would never happen again. All of the workers learned the story of Bob and the fortune teller; and, long after Bob and Jeff died, it became a popular Monos legend. Since then the monkeys of Monos say,
