Accuracy and precision

the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938. Examining historical data on minimum wage increases will illustrate if these criticisms have been accurate. As a matter of fact historical data would be the ideal information to study when trying to prove the accuracy of each criticism, because since the enaction of this law back in 1938 much data has been accumulated. Over time the minimum wage has increased from twenty five cents to today’s nine dollars in incremental parts, with each gradual rise one can…

In chapter 4 of Daniel Coyle’s The Talent Code: Greatness Isn’t Born. Its Grown. Here’s How, Coyle articulates a conversation he had with a teenager, John Crawford, about the concept of deep practice. Crawford described the moment that he truly began deep practicing as “clicking in.” (87). This explanation of the feeling of deep practice resonated with me because I felt that same “clicking in” feeling around mid-term of this semester. In my last paper, one of my goals was to be more conscious in…

A quick glance at the local or national paper will show you that there are many environmental issues today. Some of the issues you will hear about are related to population issues and how to control the population of humans on Earth. Some stories will be about the loss of ecosystems in some part of the world. Maybe you'll see something that has to do with the current administration treats environmental issues. You are going to probably be reading a lot of articles that talk about climate change…

The purpose of this lab was to identify the amount of salt needed in the water to “flink”, the point at which an object sinks or floats, the golf ball in a salt solution. Flinking occurs when the object is neither sinking or floating, it appears as if it is suspended in the middle of the solution. To flink an object, the object’s density has to have the same as the density of the solution that it is placed into. To achieve the same density of both the salt solution and golf ball, manipulation of…

My ISTJ score (introvert, sensor, thinker, and judger) is consistent with the leadership traits I possess. Sensors are those who are detail oriented and desire accuracy and precision; thus I am a sensor because I am diligent and persistent. As an introvert I am inclined not to be as outgoing and articulate as a good leader must be. I also am labeled as a thinker, which means I am typically detached and uninvolved with…

Higher education emphasizes higher order thinking skills (Bostock, n.d.), in particular in relation to specific disciplines, but also serves to build effective citizenship skills (Chan et al, n.d.). Merriam Webster (n.d.) defines idea as: “a thought, plan, or suggestion about what to do; an opinion or belief; (or) something that you imagine or picture in your mind”. The appropriate context is that this is an academic environment, and that such environments demand academic rigor. Academic rigor…

These tools are extremely useful in gauging the wavelength of visible light, however due to shifting during reading, as well as possible shifts to the interior chart, it is likely that a great amount of error exists in the accuracy and precision of the instruments. Furthermore, the values of the wavelength are up to the discretion of the readers, meaning human error plays a role in the legitimacy of the results. There is little discrepancy between the values of the wavelength scale…

forensic analysis will be able to identify the components of the food sample and detect if any illegal additives are present. Given that Atomic Absorption can achieve the required low detection limits, and offers maximum ease of use, sensitivity and accuracy it is ideal for this…

It can be perceived that empathy to the environment and people can be related to buildings or a city. One of the examples that can be considered as key embodiment of such empathy is in downtown Los Angeles architected by Frank O. Gehry, i.e., the Walt Disney Concert Hall. An intelligent strategy of inclusiveness and hybridization is led by the micro and macro design of the Walt Disney Concert Hall. With its skyscrapers stretching to the side and with the central business district, on the edge…

Introduction Since 20th century, technology has been improved dramatically. Since then people had been debating that, "Will technology bring more jobs and prosperity?". There also expectation about a new disease, "Technological Unemployment" (John Maynard Keynes 1930) where people lost jobs because of technology could replace them. However, most of economist said that, "By raising productivity, any automation which economises on the use of labour will increase incomes and generate new product…
