This scenario illustrated in the textbook uses two different variables utilizing the cross-tabulation method with percentages (Cooper & Schindler, 2014, pp. 419-420). When cross-tabulation is implemented in research methods, data can be gleaned from a multitude of statistics in an easy to read and interpret form for managers and analysts to make business decisions (Yin, Hirokawa, Yau, Hashimoto, Tabata, & Nakatoh, 2013, p. 31). With equal numbers of surveys sent out to both working/middle…

Janie was standing by her locker grabbing her chunky chemistry book. She tucked it under her arm and shut the door, ere the girl left to her following class. Janie made sure to preset her locker and proceeded to punch in the three-digit code. She then made her way to the dreaded room, 193. She walked into the fluorescent-lit cage and sat in her designated seat. The clicks from her shoes against the linoleum echo throughout the room. Mr. Bernol stood at the front of the room, book in hand. He…

Sir Isaac Newton The famous scientist I chose is Sir Isaac Newton. He is famous for his work on universal gravitation. He also developed the three laws of motion. I wanted to know more about Newton because the only thing I knew was that an apple fell on his head and he started thinking about gravitation so that’s why I chose him. Isaac Newton was born in Woolsthorpe, United Kingdom. He is an English physicist and mathematician. He is maybe the most famous scientist in history. His father died…

Archimedes is humble because he doesn't brag about his amazing ideas, intellect, and inventions. One example is, “ According to Plutarch (c. 46–119 C.E.), Archimedes had so low an opinion of the kind of practical invention at which he excelled and to which he owed his contemporary fame that he left no written work on such subjects.” From this, you could conclude Archimedes was humble because he wasn't bragging or boasting about his intellect by writing about his works, like many mathematicians…

Do you know of a game that tends to come to life? The director of the movie Clue, Jonathan Lynn, had a thought of taking a board game known to many, and make it into a mystery movie in 1985.

Though And There Were None and Clue are similar in their use of characters, setting, and plot, And Then There Were None is concerned more with the…
