Chi-square distribution

I agree with Michael that the “Poor Kids” documentary was tough to watch. Seeing the different types of impoverished living situations that people in the documentary were in was both humbling and frustrating. It was humbling in the sense that it gave me a far greater appreciation for the basic amenities and gifts that I was afforded during my childhood. I never even came remotely close to having my family struggle to survive, and for that I’m forever grateful. The documentary is especially…

After viewing the film Darwin’s Nightmare, it is easier see how dependent theory is applied in the real world. Tanzania can be used as a case study for dependent development, as well as many other impoverished nations in Africa. According to lecture, dependency theory states that global capitalism has a “core” (the rich), and a “periphery” (the poor). Resources of all sorts flow from the periphery of poor and underdeveloped states to the core of wealthy states, enriching the latter at the…

Beginning with the end of the Civil War and the North’s continuing boom in industry and ending with the beginning of Progressivism in the turn of the century, consolidations and business rose while the descent of many citizens became omnipresent . The idea of the “self-made man” from the Horatio-Alger Myth was just that: a myth. Social Darwinism appeared and dictated that the better companies and better/wealthier people would come out on top because the impoverished were somehow undeserving of…

Some of the similarities that I saw in the data are: 1. An increase in temperatures began in January and ended in July. After July, the temperatures decreased. 2. With the data I worked with, I noticed that the median tends to be around 50 to 60 degrees. 3. Once the data hits a certain point, like a max, the data values decreased. I was able to find the first similarity and the third similarity when I looked at the line graphs. Looking at the line graphs, I was able to see where the data…

private property plays a very important key role in the discussion of equality. This is because private property involves both material and monetary items, and these are resources that are fought over on the daily when it comes to equal or fair distribution of wealth. A key question brought up by this is not only what counts as property, but whether or not it is a valuable concept that should be maintained or destroyed in regards to if it suits society’s needs. The opinions on this topic are…

of treating the poor as if they are disposable resources. He is constantly baffled by the lack of action the poor take. Through incognizant diction and figurative language, McCullers portrays the townspeople as ignorant to imply how a corrupted distribution of wealth and…

In addition, the quadrat sampling is simple and with the table and the performance curve we were able to find the density and the area. The data can be analyze in with the curve or with the table. Both of the information provided in the curve and the table shows that 3 is the density of pill bugs in the area. The second method for estimating abundance is the mark recapture method. When performing this method the average population estimate is 190.211 beans. The standard error is 5.15812 and…

Douglas Massey uses the conceptual “language of categorization” in his discussion of inequality. When he says “language of categorization”, he talks about stratification and layers. He suggests that categorization comes in a stratigraphical form. Massey subscribes to the stereotype content model. This model states that the population can be arranged on “independent axes of warmth and competence” (Massey, 11). This separation into groups suggests that only one type of group is good: the esteemed…

conducted by the National Opinion Research Center to estimate state variations in group membership and levels of social trust for English-speaking individuals who are 18 years old and older in 39 states. Post stratification was based on race, the distribution of age, and education. The Housing Summary Tape File 3A and 1990 US Census were used to measure household size, income, and poverty. In addition, the levels of social trust was assessed from two questions: “Do you think…
