Probability

naturally with no interference from science, to having babies that are genetically engineered for specific traits, or for lower or zero probability for genetic diseases or dispositions. The protagonist of the film, Vincent, was a God-child and thus genetically inferior. A blood test taken at birth determined that he would probably not live past thirty due to the 99% probability that he would have a serious heart problem. This put Vincent at a disadvantage socially and led to his parents…

Perhaps, one observation of the predicaments of the four Gospels will suggest that the author of Matthew composed his Gospel by copying and editing the sources of Mark, Q and M. Nevertheless, by examining his literature, one may find several selections of his arrangements filled perhaps, with his own interpretation and understandings of the actual Kerugma, fundamentals and traditions in which he worked on. On of which is the way Matthew makes his own characteristics of the theology relating to…

Ever look at crime and question if there is a specific pattern to how crime occurs? Thanks to past records and recent technology we can see that there are specific patterns in crime based on different variables. These variables can vary between the day of the week, time of day, weather patterns, and even the holidays just to name a few. The types of crimes can also change with the variables themselves. For example, violent and property crimes were significantly related to major holidays (Cohn, &…

Employability is related to the chance or probability to acquire or maintain employment. It may be classified into two types: objective (actual) or perceived (subjective). Objective employability is defined as “relating to how easy (or difficult) it may be, in reality, for an individual to get new employment”. Perceived employability may be defined as “the individual’s perception of his or her possibilities of obtaining or maintaining employment”. In other words, objective employability is based…

Qu Yaoxian assignment 3 Reaction to Bill Moyers Interview with Ruth Macklin Ruth Macklin, professor of bioethics at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York, addressed a number of ethical controversies in her interview with Bill Moyer. One of the phenomenons that Bill Moyer brought up is that nowadays, many women face criminal prosecution because of their addiction to drugs and drinking during their pregnancy. Consequently, the phenomenon led to the question of whether a woman has…

Table 1 shows the relevant multiples for Kohler’s peer group. Depending on what multiples are used to value Kohler the estimation varies considerably. Table 2 demonstrates the range of these values. If Masco, with it’s generally high multiples, is excluded from the analysis the valuation would be roughly $1.2B. On the other extreme if Kohler’s value is based on Masco’s benchmark, the value leaps to nearly $3.7B. A strict average of the peer group would yield a value of $1.6B. Our best guess…

nine years. The methods used to calculate the statistics were linear regression and binomial distribution. Linear Regression was used determine the relationship between LeBron James production and his salary. I used statistics to determine the probability of LeBron James making 8 field goals in a row. Also, I designed a C program to compare statistics of two players for as many categories desired. The program places a one-point weight on each category won and in the end determines who’s…

“neighborhood quality decreases, [there are] sharp increases in the probability that an individual will develop a social problem.” (Crane,1). This multiplier effect causes for one influential force to have a ripple effect on the choices and pursuits of a person. If any entire neighborhood is polluted with bad seeds, it brings the good seeds down also. Applying this to the real world it can be seen that “there were sharp jumps in the dropout probabilities of [all black and white females and…

Article 1: Abrahamsson, E., Trobiornsson, A., & Hägglö, B. (2007), could not find “many studies of homogenous clinical sample on adolescent onset anorexia nervosa(NA).” In this study, a representative clinical sample of individuals with previous anorexia nervosa was selected. They were interviewed at eight and sixteen years after they had their initial onset of the disorder. Authors compared the perceived causes of those who had continued to suffer from this disorder and those who had recovered…

Measures the average square of the error. The error is the amount by which the estimate differs from the quantity to be estimated. So looking at what we have done we have that the model with less MSE is the Winter model with values 0,010822507 so it has more accurate forecast. The MAD; In our assignment the model with less MAD is the winter model with values 0,255404724 or 0,094942726, that’s mean that the model with less MAD is more accurate forecast. The MAPE is generally not affected…
