The Northwestern R-I FFA Chapter is looking to reorganize the FFA Alumni. At one point, Northwestern R-I had an FFA Alumni, which was created to support and promote the FFA organization, FFA activities and agricultural education on local, state, and national levels. Personally I think having an FFA Alumni will benefit not only this chapter, but it will also benefit this community and surrounding areas. According to “Starting a local FFA Alumni Chapter Handbook,” FFA is a lifelong organization…

By looking at this graph, I can see that there appears to be a clear linear trend with a positive relationship. Therefore, it would be sensible to use a linear regression model to investigate the…

Only one thing will be certain in the future, and that is mystery. It is this very mystery, this uncertainty about the future that provokes the mind to anticipate and predict based off of previous experiences and encounters. The mere nature of uncertainty forces individuals to actively think and foresee outcomes that will shed light on the matter. In Oliver Sacks’s “The Mind’s Eye,” Sacks introduces blind individuals who seem to be able to interpret their worlds before actually interacting with…

inside of a class room or on a court/field, prediction is something we deal with on a day to day basis unconsciously.

The book explains how to make a proper (educated) prediction. Prior to reading this book I had no previous knowledge of Nate Silver. I was unaware of his predictions, websites, books, etc. When the class was…

If feedback that wasn’t positive was…

We began our analysis by first examining the data provided to us in the Excel file. We were given the percent of customs who purchased Harry Potter book 7 and what price they paid.

A regression is a technique that attempts to measure the relationship between the outcome variable and the explanatory variables, or…
