are useful in this process utilize sensitivity analysis (which the results are placed into a tornado diagram), and a decision tree diagram. The tornado diagram documents the results of the sensitivity analysis with both the positive and negative variables (PMI, 2013). This analysis is used to study the variations of the objectives of the endeavor compared with the uncertain components of the project (PMI, 2013). Appendix E offers an example of potential risks within an undertaking with the…

answer. The challenge in education is that the variables are always changing and because of this limits the research to only non experimental research. In the previous example for the effect of problem-solving and curriculum focus, the pre and post questionnaires divided into different groups (race, sex, age…) will give some statistical value and control to the study.

Demand Response could be very fast, such as using conservation voltage, or direct load control. In the ERCOT market, Demand Response is used to obtain a good percentage of its spinning reserves through a with its Loads-Acting-As-Resources…

cases were later appealed and both defendants were released due to the fact that the jury panel was biased and did not include their peers. Another study conducted by Michael Radelet, a sociologist at the University of Colorado found that when controlling for the race of a victim, the race of the defendant impacted the prosecution and sentencing in murder cases (Radelet,…
