California Wildfires: A Burning Problem California, as of recent decades, has a warming relationship with wildfires. The state has seen an increase in wildfires which some believe to be attributed to anthropogenic climate change. Climate change is expected to result in more variable weather patterns that are likely to lead to longer and more severe droughts (“Climate change”, 2016). Generally in late spring through autumn California has a dry, windy, and frequently hot climate. At times…

Abstract The purpose of this study was to investigate whether different colour tones of red and green affected sweetness perception. An experimental design was engaged where 95 first-year Psychology students voluntarily sampled four 20mL coloured liquids and rated their sweetness on a scale of 1-10, with 1 being no sweetness distinguished and 10 where the liquid was extremely sweet. The major results indicated that light red samples were perceived sweeter than dark red, and that light green…

The Central Valley has played an important role in California being the strongest economic state in the country. The Central Valley, which population centers comprise of Fresno, Clovis, Modesto, and Visalia, have contributed substantially to California’s economy by being one of its leading agricultural producers. In contrast to its city-orientated “brother” in south California, or the “Bay area,” the Central Valley does not typically have busy streets, tall buildings, sandy beaches, and…

However, the PRC government…

A mixture sample of females and males could have possibly provided a difference in the results. The tool to examine the collected was through the SPSS 21. The tools were measured by the percentage, mean, standard deviation, and t-test. The mean values were used to infer the results under three categories: Below Average = (0-0.67), Average = (0.68-1.33), and Above Average = (1.34-2.0). These values were given in a number to indicate the students’ ability of…

The commercial depicts a family that has lost their internet and for them doing simple everyday tasks like going places…

Variance Decomposition Analysis The variance decomposition analysis has applied to quantify the extent up to which the selected indices one influenced by each other. We can also examine the short run dynamic relationship by variance decomposition. While impulse response functions trace the effects of a shock to one endogenous variable in the VAR, variance decomposition separates the variation in an endogenous variable in to the component shocks to the VAR. Thus, the variance decomposition…

In his book, “The Signal and the Noise,” Nate Silver discusses many statistical and analytic techniques as they relate to everyday events and phenomenon. For instance Silver writes about topics such as baseball, weather predictions, climate change, the stock market and terrorism to name a few. In each chapter he addresses the issues at hand and describes how statistical analysis can be employed to make the topic easy to understand and often predict certain outcomes. The book is very enjoyable…
