1. Measure the distance from the top of the third floor balcony to the first floor using a tape measurer. It should start from the top railing of the balcony to until it touches the floor. 2. Take a meter stick and place the front of the car at zero. Turn on the car and let it run until the front reaches the end of the meter stick. Make sure to use a timer to see how long it takes the car too travel that far. Divide the change in distance it travel by the time it took to find the velocity of…

¬A wealth gap exists between the upper and lower income families. A person's wealth is based on the difference between his or her financial assets such as; a home, car, or businesses and also the amount of debts they have (Fry & Kochhar, 2015). To determine a person's wealth it is important to look at that individual's annual wages, interests, profits, and other sources of earnings (Fry & Kochhar, 2015).

According to InequalityForAll.com, In 1978 the top people in the United States made $393,682 and the typical worker in the middle made $48,302.”…

The problem with using resistance as a measurement is that it depends not only on the material out of which the wire is made, but also the geometry of the wire. If we were to increase the length of wire, for example, the measured resistance would increase. Also, if we were to decrease the diameter of the wire, the measured resistance would increase. We want to define a property that describes a material's ability to transmit electrical current that is independent of the geometrical factors.…

Century Fund: 1995). From 1976 till the present , the power of the wealthy has increased greatly meaning their power has increased as well. When a certain group constantly gains power they will abuse it and this can be seen with the unfair wealth distribution in this country. Although each person has the right to make as much money as possible, in the United States the government should however keep the income rise proportioned by taxing the wealthy more and the poor less.

Another numerical question is µ1>µ2. µ1 is defined as the sample mean of Hispanic workers salaries and µ2 defined as the sample mean of Caucasian workers salaries. The Hispanic sample population is six workers from the “Wages and Wage Earners Data Set.” Learning Team B needs to consider whether or not the population is normal as the population size is less than 30. This also prohibits use of the Central Limit Theorem until the data set is proven normal. The wage of one worker being much…

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.
