In the article “The Happiness of Pursuit” by Jeffrey Kluger, multiple tables are provided showing different data and percentages on certain factors of happiness. Looking at the tables on the page title “Got Joy,” there was three in specific that caught my eye. The first being the one labeled “Then and Now” which shows the difference in percentages from 2004 to 2013 in whether people described themselves as optimists or pessimists. The percent of Optimist decreased from 70% to 50%, which can…

Conclusion The hypothesis stated that, “If the amount of water a seed receives is increased, then the amount of seeds that sprout will increase because seeds need water to germinate.” The hypothesis was supported however it is also refuted because, the amount of seeds that germinated declined in numbers at 100 drops/hour. Whereas before it increased for 0 to 71 from 0 drops to 75 drops/hour.The refined hypothesis states that if the amount of water a seed receives increases, then the amount of…

The purpose of this study is to measure the differences between age in relation to risk-taking/impulsiveness and reaction time. The reason being, we are interested in figuring out whether or not younger adults are more prone to risk-taking and impulsiveness than the older adults are. Risk taking is an important form of human behavior that has been the subject of numerous investigations, scholarly analyses, and policy debates (Byrnes, 1998; Slovic, Lichtenstein, & Fischhoff, 1998). Risk-taking…

Comparing Different Methods of Sailing Scoring and the Fairness of Each Method The findings here are applied to sailing races. I will call each race the sailors take place in an ‘event’ and each set of events a ‘series’. The winner of the series is the sailor with the most or least points, depending on the scoring methods, after all events have taken place. Each sailor in this study has a mean performance score, between 10 and 100, denoted as μ from now on. Each sailor also has a different…

Procedure The subjects were asked to individually fill out the digital surveys online during their PSYC121 labs. The classroom is set up with computers lining the walls on three sides of the room. The Classrooms hold a maximum of 16 people per lab. There were dividers between each of the computers so that subjects could not see each other’s screens and because subjects where facing the walls minimised distraction by other subjects. The study was approved by the Victoria University ethics…

Before the abacus was devised, the ancients used their fingers, toes, twigs or counting table to count numbers. As the era goes, a counting device called abacus was created to count large numbers. Abacus, also known as ‘Suan Pan’ in Chinese, is an ancient Chinese educational implement used for fast and accurate calculations. The word ‘Abacus’ is derived from the Greek work ‘abax’, which means calculating board or calculating table (UCMAS, n.d., para. 1). The first Chinese abacus was invented…

4. Conduct a quantitative analysis of comparative market data. To do this you will need to access data such as sales data or information about existing or potential customers such as demographic information or geographic information. Using this information, use at least two of the following statistical techniques for a comparative market analysis: • cross-tabulations for grouped or ungrouped data • mean • median • mode • Z, T and chi square tests. Write up the results of your quantitative…

Students were asked to create a dog pen with the biggest area. They had to make sure that they would have enough fencing material to cover a perimeter of 40 yards. With these 40 yards, students were asked to figure out the largest area for the dog to play in its pen. First, I know that we have 40 yards of fencing material. Our equation to finding out the perimeter of the the rectangle is 2W+2L=40. I also know that the formula for finding out the area is LW=A.The L variable stands for length and…

MATH EE104’s Mathematics Composite score of 65 falls at the 1st percentile and is within the low range. This score represents EE104’s ability to solve math problems using basic skills and problem solving. Task Analysis EE106 was able to correctly identify a circle and a triangle. EE106 was able to correctly write the number 5. Given a list of numbers, he correctly pointed to the numbers 5, 7, 9, and 10.
