09.07 Task 1—Normal Distribution Scores on a statewide standardized test are normally distributed with a mean of 12.89 and a standard deviation of 1.95. Certificates are given to students whose scores are in the top 2% of those who took the test. This means that they scored better than 98% of the other test takers. Marcus received his score of 13.7 on the exam and is wondering why he didn’t receive a certificate. Show all work to determine whether Marcus’ score was high enough to earn a…

Introduction In this study the effectiveness of counseling methods was tested in a group of 20 middle and high school students at an alternative school. These students from a Southeastern metropolitan area were selected as a direct result of their inability to appropriately interact with peers and staff in their home school. This study classifies fights as; arguments, and or physical acts of aggression towards staff or other students. The study analyzed males and females between the ages of…

Memory is composed of three parts sensory memory, working memory and long-term memory. Sensory memory tends to preserve information in its original sense for a fraction of a second. If the sense is strong or memorable a person is able to have a higher chance of recalling it. Senses that we are adapted to would not be meaningful therefore it would fade in our sensory memory. Working memory is the next phase in, which we hold and manipulate information in a conscious attention through a…

My experience of visiting the Minot Air Force Base, Dakota Elementary School. The school was K-5 grade and I was allowed to observe multiple grade levels/classrooms. My first visit was to a fifth grade classroom. The classroom consisted of 19 students and the desks were in groups of four. They were doing a math lesson on the smart board on how to add decimals. The math series Dakota Elementary uses is McGraw-Hill with Common Core State Standards written in the corner of the book. When I asked…

Units of Enumeration These are units which data is collected in terms production of cloth - meters, weight-tons, time - hours. Units of collection and Enumeration are of three types. a) Single units : it represents single determining characteristic such as miles, tons etc b) Compound units : it represents combination of two or more simple units, which represents more than one determining characteristics, such as passenger - kilometres, tons - kilometres, c) Hypothetical units : These units are…

For this curriculum study, I chose third grade mathematics as my unit of study. As far as my objectives go, I would want my students to walk away from this particular section of fractions with the understanding of what a fraction is, the difference between the components of a fraction such as the numerator and denominator, knowing how to identify how many parts of a whole are shaded in, and knowing how to simplify a fraction. As far as my instructional method, I created an original prezi, which…

The effect of in or out-group membership of a critic on personality sensitivity Daniel Middleton Abstract Background Group membership creates a social identity that results in in-group favourtism, as a result in-group members distrust out-group members. However, little research has been conducted into the threat that arises from whether criticism is from an in-group or an out-group member. Aim The aim of this study was to compare personality sensitivity perception…

school year (www.corestandards.org). Common Core math standards restructured the elementary standards to include more arithmetic. Elementary teachers spent time, in the classroom, on arithmetic along with other mathematical problems including, shapes, probability, and statistics (Jason Zimba, 2014). While everything that is being taught at the elementary level is relevant, arithmetic has more prevalence for the students because it directly leads to the understanding of algebra in later grades. …

Pre-Lab Questions 1. A population is a group of the same species that live in the same area and sometimes compete or can mutually benefit one another. A group of organisms will only be considered a population if they live in the same area in space and time. N is the true population size for a given group of organisms. This number is unlikely to be completely known. Whereas N hat is an estimate of population size. 2. There are two methods of sampling, direct and indirect. Direct sampling is an…
