Ajay Devgan says, “By getting into distribution and production, I have actually widened my base” (Distribution Quotes, 2016). Distributions are all around us in the fields of programming, medical, the sciences in many of today colleges. For me, distributions occurred in the aspect of programming, childhood and motherhood. As a single mother with a son, distribution appears in many activities, such as college and taking care of my child. As a student in Trine University, statistics class has many great concepts and applications, thus I will discuss distributions and variables.

Different statistics variables such as random, discrete, and expected are helpful in the study of statistics. These different types of distributions use these variables

HD is the exact number of “S” in a sample. Calculations were the earliest use; and I use the same example as above. According to scientists, “the representation H (x; n, M, N) is the proper way to show this distribution. In contrast, NBD is the amount of failures per each random trial, with successes being fixed. Today, measurement, counting, and data are some of the ways they are used. The number of students that a tutor helped to receive either a pass or fail is my example. Nb (x; r, p) represented the Negative Binomial …show more content…
Along my journey, I encountered the following distributions; Normal, Exponential and Gamma. Additional continuous distributions are Weibull, Lognormal, and Beta. Normal Distribution (ND) is the first discovered landmark. ND is the most common distribution with regard to the central limit theorem which defines the averages of the variables from independent distributions. Karl Friedrich Gauss discovered the Gaussian distribution, meanwhile James Dalton Bell discovered the Bell Curve. The Gaussian distribution and the bell curve are known names for the Normal distribution. Speaking of Normal Distribution, measurements were the earliest use, but today, height, weights, telling time, numerical numbers, and the sciences are practical uses. Random weight of pregnant women in the month of January is an excellent example and it can be represented as F (x; u,

    This study gave me the opportunity to see how the definition changed over time and how it was looked at by teachers and administration. I would say that I have to agree with the three themes that are given in the last section. I believe that students who get frustrated tend to guess more or quit taking the test. I believe that out-of-level has benefits for the students who take them. But only when they are one year above or below.…

    The Hour of Code aims to have schools offer computer sciences classes so that students are able to earn high school credit with those classes. According to Heitin, computer sciences class are also being pushed to act as a math or science credit, especially in Texas, Arizona, California, and Colorado (Education Week, vol. 36, no. 5). The Hour of Code helped introduce “tens of millions of children” to computer science, “with 244 million hours of code logged on Code.org curriculum” (Education Week, vol.…

    I have seen so many new thing and met a lot of new people. One of the most interesting things to me about this is how many different programs there is within the colleges to help kids study. Such programs include a study aid, a schedule, and the professor in most classes is willing to help you with open office hours. When I first started researching I thought I was finding some great sources, however when I was introduced to the CRAAP test I was wrong. This test helps students observe sources for their credibility and usefulness to what they are researching.…

Inattention. First grade teachers will rate students scoring below benchmark scores on the ADHD-IV Rating Scale and the Social, Academic, and Emotional Behavior Risk Screener (SAEBRS). Students who a score 1.0 standard deviations above the mean on the inattention subscale of the ADHD-IV Rating Scale will be included in the study.…

    I was responsible for leading problem solving and course review sessions as well as grading assignments and projects. I was so interested to help students to fully grasp the concepts and therefore I conducted some practical sessions. For example, I held some demo sessions of a Healthcare Decision Support System for Information Systems course. Being involved with undergraduate students was a great experience for me, because it helped me to improve my teaching skills and to establish an in-depth understanding of the topics. Hence, I believe that teaching is a joyful experience and teaching a subject enriches a better understanding of…

    It is a fantastic opportunity for me to learn, experience and improve many essential skills for my teaching career. In the previous placement, I had chance to take part in a wide range of the school’s activities (see the appendix). I participated in the school’s data day where I had the opportunities to work with my mentor teacher and the faculty staff to access the student’s assessment data and analyse the ability of the students, thus I could understand the students’ ZPD and plan my teaching that could cater most of the students’ learning desires in my classes. Besides, I attended the school meetings and faculty meetings to get more information about the school context: how they operate, what their goals are. I also had opportunity to develop my knowledge of classroom management or students’ data analysis from the invited speakers in the school meetings.…

    All of this information subtly encourages CHP students to become involved students rather than social students. Matt Blaylock provides information detailing how the message of campus engagement’s importance gets passed along to CHP scholars. Blaylock states, “Constant communication is key.” He goes on to explain that students in the Chancellors Honors Program receive a regular email twice a week highlighting meaningful events, activities, and programs on campus. In addition to those emails, students receive supplemental messages throughout the week to highlight special activities. It is easy to see from Mr. Blaylock’s comments that honors students at UT are well informed about the many options for student involvement on campus as well as the importance of the events.…
