Introduction Definitions of intelligence vary among scholars, theorists, and laypersons, due to its multidimensionality. However, intelligence typically involves an individual’s ability to learn from experience and adapt to the environment in which they live. I believe that the construct of intelligence should encompass an individual’s ability to effectively communicate in both written and verbal form, to think logically, and to express creativity. Two intelligence tests in which I recently…

Many Americans do not think that wealth distribution in America is as bad as it really is. In a study done in 2005 by Michael Norton and Dan Ariely, they found that American people thought the top 20% of Americans owned roughly 57% of the nation’s wealth when in actuality the top 20% of Americans own roughly 85% of the nation’s wealth (Building a Better America). This leaves roughly 15% of the nation’s for the rest of Americans to fight over. Due to the very little wealth left for the rest of…
Introduction Enzymes are specialized proteins that act as catalysts. Enzymes are a key part of many biological processes because they are capable of lowering the activation energy of a chemical reaction. By lowering the activation energy enzymes are able to speed up reactions allowing for multiple chemical processes to occur at a faster rate in many living organisms. Enzymes work by binding to specific molecules called substrates. The enzyme observed in this experiment was amylase and its…

is an assumption for financial institutions to process which is known as time aggregation associate with σ in equation 1.3.1. It is related to the risk horizon one would like to generate from a given sample data. For i.i.d(independent identical distribution) returns, based on the statistical knowledge (Jorion:1997), the measurement to forecast the parameter in equation 1.3.1 is, μ=μ_(unit period)*T Equation 1.4 σ=σ_(unit period)*√T Equation 1.5 and for correlated…
