in 2008 Chien-Ming Wang, severely damaged his foot while running the bases, and it 's unlikely that Wang will pitch as well as he did when he was 27. This injury could have struck Wang just as easily at 24 or 36. Because players who wash out of baseball are normally replaced by young players” (Bradbury 1). Some injuries can happen no matter how old you are. Age does cause players production to decline. Player’s production from their peak (meaning when they are playing the best) of age 29 to the…

Lesson: Volleyball Skill Description: The motor skill involves two teams hitting a volleyball back and forth over a net without letting the ball hit the floor. Which ever team lets the ball hit the floor loses the point. Games are to 25 points, and only three touches on the ball are allowed per side before it has to be sent over the net. This game is worthy of teaching fourth graders because it teaches them about teamwork, quick thinking, communication, cooperation, etc. Teamwork and…

watching baseball has always been my favorite pastime. And a few years ago, I was introduced to an element of baseball that involves another passion of mine, mathematics. The study of the utterly distinct, yet blissful marriage of baseball and mathematics is known as sabermetrics, and it has brought my love of baseball to a new level. “Sabermetricians,” attempt to analyze baseball from a mathematical perspective in order to obtain a statistical edge over the competition, and many baseball teams…

Regression Method Based on the data we collected, our expected regression equation is: Walmart revenue = β0 – β1CPI + β2CSI + β3ECOM – β4GAS + β5POP –β6INT – β7UNEMP + β8EARN Then we ran the regression on Minitab and got an actual regression equation. We used the method (i.e. five questions and nine problems) to evaluate the equation Minitab produced. For each of the nine problems, we ask five questions: What is the problem? How can I detect it? What are the consequences of the problem? What are…

1. a. The data set consist of 44 female and 53 males. b. There are 21 people under the age range of 13-35, which account for 21.6% of the total 97 in the sample. c. The mean level of the hour spent in the office during week 2 is 47.47 hours, with the standard deviation of 17.06. The distribution is slightly negative skew (-0.237), although in an acceptable range suggest that slightly more samples spend more hours in office than the average. The distribution’s value for kurtosis (-1.005)…

Introduction Antibiotics were initially thought of as a superior drug that could kill many bacterial diseases. Prior to antibiotics, it was hard for anyone to fight a bacteria. However, bacteria are very changing and have begun being able to gain resistance against antibiotics due to overuse, not strong enough dosage of antibiotics, or improper use. By determining the resistance and cross-resistance, one may determine the the relative ability for bacteria to gain resistance to antibiotics. We…

Metabolism is a complex process in organisms that convert the food into energy for organism to function properly. Metabolic rate is typically defined as the amount of energy the organism is currently using to maintain the activity (Perkin, 2015). Since metabolism is a key in sustaining the organisms’ life, we decided to investigate the experiment about metabolic rate caterpillar, Manduca sexta. There are many techniques used to measuring the metabolic rate, but there are only best method that…

In radiation therapy, bolus is a modality that helps compensate for differences in body contours, stop skin sparring, and to raise dose buildup on the patient’s skin (Washington, p. 171). Bolus is a tissue equivalent material, but there is not just one type of bolus. Superflab is a commercial bolus that most clinical sites use, but other bolus variations are also available for use. There is no study that compares Superflab, neon green Play-Doh, orange Play-Doh, and uncooked rice for providing…
