Dippin Dots: A Mathematical Analysis

Decent Essays
We did the same steps and multiplied 23 and 1000 then divided it by 75 to get x equals 307. So out of 1000 people, 307 would like a healthy food restaurant. For the Dippin’ dot’s proportions we set up another proportion for the students (5/40 = x/1000) we did all the same steps and multiplied 5 and 1000 then divided by 40. Once we did the math we figured out that out of 1000 students 125 would like Dippin’ dots. The adults was a little lower with the outcome and proportion (3/35 = x/1000). The outcome ended up being out of 1000 adults only 86 would choose Dippin’ dots. After that we did the proportion for all of the people who picked Dippin’ dots (8/75= x/1000). Dippin’ dots has the lowest outcome with 107 people out of 1000 would prefer Dippin’

    This proportion is more successful than the expected success rate of 0.2, but still less than the woman’s success rate of 0.4 in part a of this question. This is because of the large sample size, 1000 vs 100 trials. The law of large numbers states that there is an improvement in precision as the sample size increases (Whitlock and Schluter, 2015, pg 185). Although the value is greater than the expected rate of success, it is starting to fall closer to the value of 0.2.…

    After computing the 200 MBA students at Whatsamatta U. I would like to know what proportion of them are finance students, with a 95% confidence level. I first plug in my sample size as 200 since I know that is the number students in the population. I then put in 55 for the number of successes because there are 55 finance majors out of the group of students. And my confidence level is set at 95% because I want to be 95% sure that my calculations are correct. I have a confidence interval of 0.21 to 0.33.…

    The experiment being pondered on is the usage of unnecessary complexity in a statistical question, to the general populous of seniors and juniors of Oceana High, Pacifica CA. The purpose of studying this type of experiment is to discern uncertainty caused by confusion associated to the complexity of the question being asked. In the real world, when questions being asked to the participants appears far too complicated-- whether it be in terms of wording or simply there is far too much information being presented, the individual will find themselves thinking more about what the questions means rather than offering their initial response, hence the data is skewed due to participants unable to simply understand the question and responding with…

    Procedure I performed this game assessment on April 20, 2017. I asked their teacher when it would be a good time for me to pull out my focal child and another student and she told me that after lunch would be best. This was because when they came back from lunch there would only be two periods left, writing and science, before the school day ended. And since it was a nice day they would be going outside to the playground during science. So during writing, which is from 1:42 to 2:22, I had enough time to do my game assignment.…

One group will be trying a regular aspirin, coded under a pseudo name to make the product more believable. The other group is given the same pseudo name, but instead of having a regular aspirin, they are given a sugar pill.…

    Introduction Rakoczy, Ehrling, Harris, and Schultze 's experiments wanted to evaluate how young children accept advice on topics they have no knowledge in; while how adults make judgements has been well-studied, the way children make judgements has not (Rakoczy et al., 2015, p.71-73). Through these experiments, Rakoczy et al. (2015) wanted to determine whether children actively sought advice from better informed, as adults would; additionally, they wanted to see whether or not children were willing to change their judgement based on another 's advice (p.71-72). This goal being motivated by the bias of adults to favor their original judgements despite hearing advice from others (Soll & Larrick, 2009). Methods There were two similar experiments…

    1. INTRODUCTION Probability has come to gain importance as a content area of Mathematics that students need to have experience with in order to be well-informed citizens since its study “can raise the level of sophistication at which a person interprets what he/she sees in ordinary life, in which theorems are scarce and uncertainty is everywhere” (Cambridge Conference on School Mathematics, 1963, p.70; as cited in Jones, 2004). Since “[T]here is perhaps no other branch of the mathematical sciences that is as important for all students, college bound or not, as probability and statistics” (Shaughnessy, 1992, p. 466, emphasis in original) and since misconceptions about probability are common among children, it is important that instruction…
