Dakota McNany Gerontology Sophomore 3. Short Answer Questions (10 points each, 20 points total). Choose two out of four. It is expected the length of the text for each question is about 150-200 words, single spaced. D. Why is the Knossos Palace laid out in a rather irregular form? The largest Minoan site, The palace and labyrinth at Knossos, is also perhaps the most widely known Minoan site throughout the world. Directly under this site are the remains of Neolithic settlements. These…

instead of one letter to represent one syllable like in Linear A and B. This makes the language much easier to write, read, and…

Part A: The Palace of Knossos is the most complex structure existing from the ancient Minoan Civilization on the island of Crete. It was built in the Minoan political center of Knossos by King Minos around 1900 BC. The palace is an extremely intricate building standing five stories with large, beautiful paintings on its walls known as frescos; it even had indoor plumbing. It is apparent that only the most important people in Minoan society lived in the palace because of its grandeur and beauty…

This paper will study the relationship between a country’s perceived amount of corruption, and how that affects the wages of its domestic workers. The premise behind this paper is that a country that is perceived as being dishonest and corrupt would have lower wages. Corruption in government is seemingly always present in our world. This paper will try to determine if there is a correlation between a country’s perceived corruption and the monthly disposable income its workers earn with…

ingredients, including chili beans and ground beef. The number of 100-gallon batches of Razorback chili (x1) and Longhorn chili (x2) that can be produced daily is constrained by the availability of chili beans and ground beef, as shown in the following linear programming model: maximize Z = 200x1 + 300x2 (profit, $) subject to 10x1 + 50x2 … 500 (chili beans, lb.) 34x1 + 20x2 … 800 (ground beef, lb.) x1, x2 Ú 0 The final optimal simplex tableau for this model is as follows: cj 300 200 Basic…

of three months. Notably, forecasting entails application of simple linear regression in order to understand the underlying relationship between sales volumes and number of hits on the company’s website. In this case, an Excel worksheet is used to analyze the data, and to forecast the sales based on the data collected on the number of hits. Chase (2013) explains that forecasting in business scenarios entails…

Linear programming which is also known as “Linear Optimization” is a way to achieve best outcomes in a Mathematical Model using different linear solutions .Linear Programming is a special case of Mathematical Optimization .Linear programming can be applied to a wide variety of fields of study, and has proved useful in planning, routing, scheduling, assignment, and design, such as in transportation or manufacturing industries. The method of Linear Programming was originally developed by American…

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…

I can see that there appears to be a clear linear trend with a positive relationship. Therefore, it would be sensible to use a linear regression model to investigate the relationship. This shows that as the height of the saplings increases, so does the diameter of the saplings at breast height. The rate of increase is not consistent, and the spread of the data increases as the podocarp height does. An interesting point to note…

Theoretical Framework The Proportional Odds Model A binary logistic regression model estimates the odds and the probability of experiencing an event for the dichotomous outcome variable on a set of predictors. The logistic regression model is defined as: ln(Y′) = logit [π(x)] = ln = α + β1X1 + β2X2 + …+ βpXp. (1) where logit [π(x)] is the log odds of success, and the odds is a ratio between the probability of having an event and the probability of not having that event.…
