Pareto distribution

Stereotypes between different classes have made social problems that America has been struggling with for decades. Society has become blind to certain issues because of stereotypes that are held between classes. I live in an area that is seen as a place where wealthy people reside, and in my narrative, people judged me based on that area in which I live. I also judged people of the lower class because I was not used to the circumstances they lived in. These judgments were made based on…

In this article, the researchers studies the effect that an auditory signal has on one’s perception of another individual’s eye gaze. The researchers talk about how people are born with the ability to differentiate between direct and adverted gaze, and this ability becomes increasingly important throughout adulthood. Another important social signal has to do with a person’s auditory system. In infancy, children become sensitive to hearing their own name and to being spoken to in a slow,…

researchers, and politicians. The gap between the top 1% and the other 99% of Americans has increased for the past three decades (DeSilver; Cobb; Milanovic; Hatch, Ribgy; Jacobs, Dirlam; Cooper, Palumbo, Lutz). Income inequality is defined as the uneven distribution of income in the population, and the gap between the wealthy and everyone else (Priester, Mendelson). In 2013, the top 1 percent of the population took home more than 20% of income earned (Saez, Piketty). Bill Gates and Warren…

are correlated. Regression is better suited for studying functional dependencies between factors. It creates an equation where in if one variable is known, the other can be estimated. Nonparametric tests No assumptions are made about the data distribution. Ordinal properties of data are used instead of absolute data values. Statistical significance with a nonparametric test is difficult to be…

The system in which our upbringings are bred to abide by is the very thing that is allocating our lives without many of us even realising. Our consuming and contented nature produces a physically unsustainable earth and we nourish the current system which is morally unsustainable, an ecological imbalance is imminent. This report proposes to deconstruct these occurrences that lead to a world not savvy of their own environmental irrationalities. Focusing on the calculations that formulate…

Through reviewing the minimum, maximum, and range of values I attempted to discern and identify potential coding errors as well as invalid data. The nature and distribution of the values were explored through examining the mean, standard deviation, and variance as well as skewness and kurtosis. For example, the variable Age contained 320 valid cases, with respondents ranging in age from 18 to 35 years. The mean age…

This signifies that there is a moderate variation in data, skewed towards younger age group. Further, an appropriate graph for ADULTCT, measured at ratio level, is a histogram which can help us understand the shape of the distribution. The histogram displays that the number of adults in the household is positively skewed, as significant amount of data lies at the lower end of the graph. This signifies that majority of the respondents have two to three adults in the household…

Trying to document my performance while doing the job proved to be difficult at times. In the second week, I was stressed at trying to get both done. My boss told me to just do my best and gave me some tips on how I could be more efficient. My motivation was low since my opportunity to perform was limited with all the work I was trying to do. In the fourth week, my boss told me that my performance was much better and that I had made far fewer errors. I still needed to work on understanding…

Repeated Measures Analysis of Variance (RM-ANOVA) was conducted to compare the reaction time of visual and acoustic conditions (previously shown in study phase) with new brands (not presented before)(Graph 1). Mauchly’s test showed that the assumption of sphericity had not been violated, χ2 (2) = 0.68, p = .711. Degrees of freedom were corrected using Greenhouse-Geisser estimates of sphericity ( = .98). There was a significant effect of modality type, F (2, 60) = 20.09, p < .001. Bonferroni…

Computations and Interpretation Mean = 7.02. After analyzing the scores of my population, I found that the mean average was 7.02 out of 10. This implies that the average student earned a “C” or 70% in the quiz. If I remove the outlier that consists of 0 out of 10 I believe that the average score would increase to a more meaningful average score. Median = 7. The median depicts how the center of all scores achieved was a “C”. The median may be a score or average of two, that is the farthest…
