The VCE mathematics topic that I have chosen is Probability, in Mathematical Methods Unit 1 Area Study 4: Probability and Statistics (VCAA, 2015). The first section presents a literature review of student learning probability. It also addresses the common pitfalls that may impede their learning. The second section outlines a unit plan for teaching probability based on the new VCE study design. Sample activities worksheets and assessment tasks are included in the appendices. Literature Review:…

Vincristine is the primary treatment for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in children. Common toxicities include peripheral and autonomic neuropathies, which can be life threatening. Vincristine is metabolized extensively by CYP450 3A and its PK has a significant inter-individual variation. In addition to chemotherapy treatment, children are given antifungals for prophylaxis of infections. Itraconazole, voriconazole and fluconazole are commonly used agents. The azole family is an inhibitor of…

The aim of this section is to critically evaluate results of empirical tests carried out by the study and compare these with those of previous studies, literature and theories. This will enable the study to derive reasonable conclusions and proffer recommendations. CRITICAL DISCUSSION AND SUMMARY It is observed that growth in globalisation implies an increase in the extent of transactions between companies in different countries. Companies trading across territories transact in various national…

The Infinity POM By: Vinayak Prathikanti, Varun Popli, & Alan Xiao For the second month, we had the Infinity POM, and it definitely made us think a little. The problem said to consider all of the infinite numbers between 0 and 1, then all of the numbers on the number line. Which one of these is the larger infinity? Now before we say anything else, we want to tell you that this is an extremely open ended problem, and that it is very hard to argue one side. While this is true, we…

Identify your selected problem in the first line of your posting and post your research question. “Relationship between effective Discharge Planning and Psychiatric Hospital Readmission Rate” Does effective discharge planning reduce the rate of readmission to a psychiatric hospital? According to Burns and Grove (2005), a correlational study examines the relationship between two research variables within a known situation. A correlational study determines if two variables are correlated. It also…

Introduction This report considers whether gender, quiz result, lecture and SGT attendance affect university students’ exam results. The effectiveness of learning platforms must be evaluated so students reach their full potential. To achieve this, a sample of previous BSB123 students’ results and attendance will be summarised, analysed and interpreted. Data 2.1 Research Stanford University found that on average, males outperform females on mathematics tests (Niederle & Vesterlund, 2010),…

In this project, I will analyze the problem of gender inequality in terms of labor income. This problem is important in our society because people with same background and same experience should be treated the same in the same working environment. Women should not be judged based on their biological gender. The data sample used in this project is working individuals between ages 25 and 54 from Current Population Survey, 2012. Sample size contains 999 observations. I will first discuss the…

Nevirapine Drug LOD Concentration (in µg/mL) S/N Ratio Value LOQ Concentration (in µg/mL) S/N Ratio Value Lamivudine 0.315 2.98 0.945 9.98 Zidovudine 0.405 2.97 1.080 9.97 Nevirapine 0.600 2.98 2.1 9.97 4.3.1.6 Robustness Deliberate changes in the method, i.e., changes in the flow rate and the wavelength, did not significantly affect the peak tailing, the theoretical plates (Table 4.8). Table 4.8: Robustness results for Lamivudine, Zidovudine and…

A0130036Y Method 1: Box Plot The question asks if Road Handling is part and parcel of Practicality, i.e. whether road handling is an essential component influencing/affecting another data group, practicality. Thus, road handling is taken to be the independent variable, x, and is ranked from the lowest to the highest score. The data is split into 5 groups, Group 1 and 5 containing the lowest-ranked and highest-ranked road handling scores, respectively. Group 1 2 3 4 5 Median 4.58 4.585 4.455…

6.5 Granger Causality Granger causality statistics determine whether past values of one variable helps to predict another variable. For example, if the lagged value of the independent variable X, help in predicting the value of the explanatory variable Y_(t+1), then X granger causes the Y. On the other hand, if the independent variable X does not help to predict Y, then the coefficients on the lags of X will all be zero in the reduced form Y equation. 7. Empirical results 7.1 Optimal lag…
