Question 1 Cowles and Davis (2016) discussed several factors that contributed to the adoption of the .05 level of statistical significance. The first factor discussed was the discovery that computations can be utilized to measure observational error, by and astronomer, Lambert Adolphe Quetelet. This discovery led to the development of the normal distribution curve utilized today (Cowles & Davis, 2016). Following the development of the normal distribution curve, a measure of variability known as probable error was discovered (Cowles & Davis, 2016). This discovery was the second factor mentioned by Cowles and Davis (2016) that contributed to the .05 level of statistical significance. Although the term probable error was first used in 1818 by Bessel, the concept was used several years before this. In a normal distribution, half of the values will fall within one probable error of the mean. Today, we use standard deviation instead of probable error; probable error is equivalent to approximately two-thirds of a standard deviation. In the late 1800s, several years after the development of probable error, Pearson conducted several studies to assist in fitting observations into theoretical distributions (Cowles & Davis, 2016). Pearson’s discoveries while flipping a coin numerous times led to the discovery of the goodness of fit test. This was the third factor mentioned by Cowles and Davis (2016) that led to the .05 level of statistical significance. This test was used to…

The main focus of the paper is on the two factor model of Liu (2006) using the current CRSP accumulation of the trading volume data daily during the time period of 1926 to 1962. The literature based on liquidity has been divided into three segments in the past studies conducted which are: Firstly, the search for liquidity proxies which has been conducted by Amihud and Mendelson (1986) where they suggest the bid ask spread measure and the research done by Datar et al. (1998) use turnover as an…

The child care act 2006 state that all children aged 3 and 4 are entitled to have free education up to 15hours each week over 38 weeks in a year. The government fund local authorities to ensure that each child between the ages of 3 and 4 have access to free education for up to two years before school age. This idea is to give children the same learning opportunities regardless of their background. Any additional hours will be paid for. The provision made in school is about supporting very young…

What is the Main Point? The author is attempting to get readers to realize the importance of social determinants of health. As public health is a relatively young field, it contains many new concepts including the biopsychosocial model of health. This model is illustrated as the author describes social epidemiology in contrast to the “vertical” or biomedical model of health. What is Surprising? It was surprising to me that the World Health Organization’s (WHO) Commission on the Social…

Every child matters and the childcare act 2006 were created to ensure that children ages 3 to 4 are entitled to have free education at these two ages. Although this may be the case it is limited. Over the 38 week period in a year 3 to 3 year old are entitled to only 15 hours each week. The reason it is free is because it is funded by the government and by the local authorities. The main reason this has come about is because the government wants to give each child the same chance as every other…

This shines the light that Mexico is a weak state because it is unable to stop…
