The Simple Things

Hope is a mentality that every human being is capable of, whether they know it or not. Even though at times it may seem as if hope is nowhere to be found, it is still there lurking in the distance. In her poem “Hope” is the thing with feathers, Emily Dickinson explores this exact concept. Using a multitude of literary and poetic devices, Dickinson establishes the optimistic idea of hope existing as an unstoppable unit throughout the universe that is accessible to anyone and everyone. One of…

Thankful What are you thankful for in life? I’m thankful for several things in life. Thanksgiving started way before I was born, which started on November of 1621. I am thankful for Michael’s, food, and friends. The first thing I’m thankful for is, Michael’s, an art store right by my house. I’m thankful for Michael’s because, without that store, probably about 98% of my art supplies wouldn’t be in my room. You know, I got to Michael’s so much, the employees remember me and know who I am! One…

the 252,082 freshmen that take part in the survey to represent all college freshmen. b) This is an example of a stratified random sample because the population is divided into groups, which in this case the groups would be universities, and then a simple random sample is taking from each university. c) This would be an example of cluster sampling because all colleges and universities represent the clusters and the 464 random samples of clusters are chosen and within those 464 all the first…

least bring something to contact people and not just written notes. Today’s survivalists now bring many things for survival. Tent’s, plenty of food, proper weapons and ammo, and most importantly: some sort of electronic beacon/radio that can hone in on their position if activated so they can be rescued if they are in some sort of sticky situation. Chris had absolutely none of these things and he expected to survive for an extended period of time. Don’t bother with trying to ask him about why…

After I started reading The First Time Manager, I became sure that I would not make a good manager. I felt this way because, as I discovered managers have to be able to lead. I tend to sit back and let someone else have control when it comes to things such as group projects. I feel this is because I am not usually comfortable being in charge of other people, because I do not want to be perceived as bossy. I tend to want everyone to be happy and to avoid conflict unless absolutely necessary.…

Because this is the first informal piece I write in American Literature, I think you should know where I stand on a variety of issues. Telling you about myself feels, by some means, dishonest since the most important thing about me is that I am constantly changing. When I was little, teachers used to tell us to walk a mile in someone else’s shoes before we judge them. Yet, I’ve never understood what we’re supposed to learn from a pair of shoes. If you want to know who I am, I suggest taking…

events” (Kuzma 1992,6). Prospective studies are calculating the future based on the data analysis, and it is defined as a study that “examine the outcomes of event that occur in the future” (Kuzma 1992,6). 2. (5 points) A researcher wants to select a simple random sample of 100 people…

1). The Block Five AP Stats class at Silver Creek High School conducted an experiment with the intent to answer the question, “Who is Better at Using Chopsticks: Boys or Girls?”. To begin the study, everyone in the class was asked to write their name on a piece of paper. The papers were then collected and separated by gender. Five boys and five girls were then randomly selected by drawing the papers with names from a hat. The names were stirred and mixed in the hat prior to selection. The ten…

Initially, this design will involve drawing a simple random sample of communities from the Gold Coast/Brisbane city area and gathering data on levels of immigrant integration. Subsequently, a simple random sample of households from each of the aforementioned communities will be gathered in order to collect data on fear of crime and terrorism within the community. Furthermore…

positive for both the workers and the employers. It is positive for the workers because they can now things faster and they can work faster too, because all their problems are getting solved as soon as possible. This is a good thing for the employers too, because now the whole company is on the same topic and if there is a problem it can be solved right away. However this can be a negative thing for workers. They may think it’s too large of a step and that may create shyness where no one wants…
