Rounding Data When data is gathered and calculated, the final information presented tends to be rounded. On some occasions it may be necessary to round data, especially when rounding non-integer vales to integer values for simplicity and statistical representation. An example of this would be at the end of the calculations in sample weighting, the fractions you get are rounded to integers, since the data is based on physical objects which cannot have fractions, and so is considered extra for…

objectives (Talet, et al., 2014). A negative risk is likely to have negative impacts and losses to a project, whereas a positive risk is likely to open up new opportunities for a project (Schwalbe, 2014). A risk management process helps to handle the uncertainties and risks related to the project in a more organized and calculated way (Schwalbe, 2014). A risk management process can help to optimize the impacts of a risk if it is not possible to avoid the risk. From my experience in working in…

A well renowned director once explained that he “devoted [his] life to uncertainty. Certainty is the death of wisdom, thought, [and] creativity.” (Shekhar Kapur), he believes that certainty takes away our ability to reason and learn.

Risk Management The Augmented Reality System inherently comes with a handful of risks due to the nature of the new technology and the cutting-edge vision. These risks include, Technology Uncertainty Integration Capability with ERP Security Lack of Executive Support Changing Requirements Technology uncertainty is a risk that always inheres within cutting-edge technology implementations due to the unknown unknowns. For this project specifically, this…

Don Delillo, the author of White Noise, wrote an incredible story about the invention of plots, and explains how naming things correlates with the idea of certainty and uncertainty. He does this through the main character of the novel, Jack Gladney, along with other characters that are in Jack’s life, such as his friend and co- worker, Murray Jay Siskind, a neuroscientist and another co-worker, Winnie Richards, and the creator of Dylar, Willie Minks.

Following that, Sandel points out that letting the goatherds go free could give up their…
