Linear A

4.2 Multiple Regression A regression model was run to predict the wine rating from different features (fixed.acidity, volatile.acidity, citric.acid, residual.sugar, chlorides, free.sulfur.dioxide, total.sulfur.dioxide, density, pH, sulfates, alcohol) of wine in R. According to the initial analysis on the distributions of the features, many of those features are right-skewed and thus require log transformation. Forward Selection Algorithm was used to find the best predictive models for wine…

In his article entitled “Is Google Making Us Stupid?” (2008), Nicholas Carr, a published technology author, argues that the use of the internet has altered the way our mind thinks, the way we communicate, and even the way we read. This affects society in such a way that we are no longer able to focus while reading printed text, let alone online articles with distracting factors such as hyperlinks and flashy pop up ads. Carr provides several sources of anecdotal evidence, case studies, and…

All the scenes in the play were short and barely any characters were called by name. They also did not go in order of the pamphlet that spells “Shakespeare.” Throughout my paper, I try to describe each scene to the best of my ability with the info of which play they are acting out or about just the scenes in general. The beginning of the play began with people cleaning up the stage with brooms. The three people were slouched over sweeping close together. This showed medium topography and close…

The Mandelbrot and Filled Julia Sets The Mandelbrot and Filled Julia Sets are sets of numbers that are composed of complex numbers that do not diverge for varying conditions of the function fc(z)=z²+c. For the Mandelbrot set, the function is iterated from z=0. The filled Julia set holds c constant for any complex number to look at the behavior of the iterated functions for each value of z in the complex plane. Both sets are derived from the iterations of simple functions in the complex plane,…

In the article “The Happiness of Pursuit” by Jeffrey Kluger, multiple tables are provided showing different data and percentages on certain factors of happiness. Looking at the tables on the page title “Got Joy,” there was three in specific that caught my eye. The first being the one labeled “Then and Now” which shows the difference in percentages from 2004 to 2013 in whether people described themselves as optimists or pessimists. The percent of Optimist decreased from 70% to 50%, which can…

Stress is a very complex topic. To my understanding it is an emotion felt not only mentally but physically as well. A large straining that you endure from being under immense pressure, at times you feel there is no way out. It can come from the negativity of your peers, and almost always from your very own self-doubt. Stress to me as a student and as a worker are very separate functions. From my student side I worry about not doing well on not only one but a series of demanding tasks from all of…

Reliability Table 4.5 Reliability Test Variable Cronbach’s Alpha N of Items Remark Brand Awareness 0.825 5 Reliable Brand Association 0.757 3 Reliable Perceived Quality 0.763 4 Reliable Brand Loyalty 0.890 5 Reliable After validity test, this is the result of the reliability test. The requirement to be reliable is the Cronbach’s Alpha must be more than 0.7. As seen from the table 4.5 the Cronbach’s Alpha of every variables are more than 0.7 which are remarked as reliable. To be explained, the…

Objective (v) Seeks to estimates a supply response model for palm oil in Nigeria inclusive of price and non-price factors. In other to estimate the supply response for Nigeria palm oil production, the model of Ayanwale et al, (2011) was used, with slight modification. The supply equation is specified as a function of the production of palm oil, price of palm oil, price of competitive crop (soyabean), harvested area, rainfall in year t (mm) as climate element, interest rate, exchange rate, palm…

The Bronze Age in the Mediterranean Grecian regions was a time for exploration and war, trade and commerce, and ingenuity. Two monumental cultures with the evident demise influenced one another through economy, architecture, and logogram. The Minoans originated on the island of Crete, and their palace and administrative center titled Knossos. The Mycenaean culture, on the other hand, flourished on the mainland of Greece, in the palaces of Pylos and Mycenae. Both cultures thrived from maritime…

A seventeen-year-old girl presents with painful ulcerated lesions on her inner labia. Her boyfriend is with her; they tell you that they have been each other's only sexual partners. What would your care of this couple include? According to Roett, Mayor, and Uduhiri (2012), herpes simplex virus infection and syphilis are the most common causes of genital ulcers in the United States. Although other infectious such as chancroid, lymphogranuloma venereum, granuloma inguinale (donovanosis), secondary…
