the sailor with the most or least points, depending on the scoring methods, after all events have taken place. Each sailor in this study has a mean performance score, between 10 and 100, denoted as μ from now on. Each sailor also has a different standard deviation, a measure of consistency between 0 and 18, denoted by σ from now on. I will call the scoring methods as followed: Method 1 - Calculating the sum of the sailors finishing positions in an event with the lowest score being best. Method…
I write to you today as an American citizen who is concerned with the future of this nation and the world. I am not a Democrat, a tree-hugger, or a person belonging to any other group or stereotype you may expect me to belong to. I am a Republican and a steadfast Republican at that. I belong to the party of “shut up and drill.” With that being said, the action by both parties to save planet Earth is not nearly great enough. Millennials, my generation, are being handed issues that are hundreds of…
Air pollution has been a growing concern in the New England area over the past few decades. Air pollution can come from many different sources including stationary sources like factories and power plants, mobile sources like vehicles, agricultural sources found from gassy animals and their waste products, as well as natural sources like wildfires, dust storms and other natural occurrences. Various cities around New England have identified the sources that are contributing to the air pollution…
It is well known that the temperature that a plant is grown in greatly affects the manner in which that plant grows. If the conditions are too extreme for a plant, then that plant cannot be as productive as other members of its species grown at less extreme temperatures. Such is the case of the pepper or tomato plant; if temperatures are too high for these plants, then the pollen these plants produce becomes inviable and these plants cannot successfully reproduce (Environmental Factors That……
The mean maladaptive perfectionism scores are average and the low standard deviation shows that there was little variation between student’s maladaptive perfectionism scores. A correlation coefficient was calculated between procrastination and adaptive perfectionism scores (r (523) = -.14, p < .001). A significant negative…
This federal law aims at regulating air emissions from stationary sources such as industries and mobile sources such as vehicles. It was established to authorize the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to establish National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) that protects the public health through regulation of emissions that have a hazardous effect on air (Sueyoshi & Goto, 2010). The CAA was established in 1963 after several deaths were experienced in 1948 and 1952 due to air pollution. It…

Students were asked to create a dog pen with the biggest area. They had to make sure that they would have enough fencing material to cover a perimeter of 40 yards. With these 40 yards, students were asked to figure out the largest area for the dog to play in its pen. First, I know that we have 40 yards of fencing material. Our equation to finding out the perimeter of the the rectangle is 2W+2L=40. I also know that the formula for finding out the area is LW=A.The L variable stands for length and…

would equal 16.8 (p.924). “The normal BMI for adults ranges from 18.5 to 24.9” (Treas & Wilkinson, 2014, p. 924). The 16.8 BMI classifies Mrs. Jenkins as moderately underweight. Being underweight is when the patient “consumes fewer kcal than needed based on his activity, sex, height, and weight. Consuming too few kcal may result in serious undernutrition-that is insufficient intake of protein, fat, vitamins, and minerals” (Treas & Wilkinson, 2014, p. 932). With being underweight Mrs. Jenkins is…
