Living Between Two Worlds Dayton Kwok Introduction As an American born Chinese, I’ve always had to switch between using English and Chinese. This is especially exacerbated since I lived in San Francisco, a city dominated by immigrants hailing from Southern China and Hong Kong. One moment I’m using English to talk to my friends, and the next moment I’m using Cantonese to talk to my family. My native language was English, but I also learned to speak Cantonese around the same time I learned to…

should be at close to $25.00 per hour (Dalton, week 6). The interquartile range pros are that it more accurately represents the majority of data. Its cons are it ignores the most extreme data points. The variance is mainly used in calculating the standard deviation. The pros are that it helps us get an idea of…

Strength All the data obtained from this experiment is plotted on the graph. The accuracy and precision can be determined from the graph. Based on the graph , as the line do not pass the origin , it can be deducted that the result is fairly accurate. Since there are few outliers on the graph , the precision of this graph is moderate. Accuracy of the graph is affected by systematic errors while the precision is affected by random errors. A few measures had been taken prior in getting more…

Some of the similarities that I saw in the data are: 1. An increase in temperatures began in January and ended in July. After July, the temperatures decreased. 2. With the data I worked with, I noticed that the median tends to be around 50 to 60 degrees. 3. Once the data hits a certain point, like a max, the data values decreased. I was able to find the first similarity and the third similarity when I looked at the line graphs. Looking at the line graphs, I was able to see where the data…

provided in the curve and the table shows that 3 is the density of pill bugs in the area. The second method for estimating abundance is the mark recapture method. When performing this method the average population estimate is 190.211 beans. The standard error is 5.15812 and the 95% confidence limit is among 180.1010 beans to 200.3209 beans. The total number of beans is 239 beans do not fall into the confidence limit intervals. We can conclude that our true abundance does not fall within the…

1. Objective The objective of this lab is to test whether the dominant phenotype in flies is actually straight wings red-eyed using data stimulated from the FlyLab software. Hypothesis The mode of inheritance in flies is that red eyed, straight winged flies are the wildtype characteristics that are autosomal dominant and white-eyed, vestigial wings are the mutated characteristics. 2. Methods a. Performed a cross between a red-eyed straight winged female fly and a white-eyed, vestigial winged…

Inter-Observer Errors are critical in understanding the data as a whole. It’s to understand the error that comes with the interpretation of two or more individuals making observations of the same issue. This is a sole reason why scientists take multiple data sets in order to weed out these inter-observer errors. It can affect the end result, or calculation resulting in human bias. They are very similar, as my handedness quotient was 60 which is closer to 100 than to 0 (Ambi) which relates to…

The general standards for admissibility of evidence are that it must be relevant, contain a probative value, and must be free of prejudicial bias. The evidence is relevant if it has the propensity to make a fact more or less credible than it would be without the evidence, and the facts of consequence in determining the action. The probative value depends on satisfying the basic requirement of relevancy as described above, but also upon the existence of any matter of fact. For example, if…

Assign numbers to represent the batteries. I will assign the batteries in working condition the numbers 0-89 based on how they come off the production line in working condition 90% of the time. Next, numbers 90-99 will represent the defective batteries because of the 10%. Then, I’ll count by twos and move across the row. I’ll then count how many times working or defective batteries occur. A trial is when 10 working batteries are found. We will see how many batteries it takes on average to get…

According to table 2, body postures show significant differences in working stages (P=0.2) The most important and striking difference is related to body`s neutral position. The results show that body`s neutral position makes up 61.7% workers` working time. Body`s neutral position accounts for 57% of body posture in foundation, 55% in carcass, and 63.8 % in finishing stage. In other words, most body`s neutral positions were observed in foundation. Gentle bending posture was reported 21.2%. This…
