Two, people suck at changing their minds, especially toward politicians, ideas and other people. It's the signature failure of liberalism anywhere: Understanding and careful consideration are much higher-order functions than succumbing to fear, nurturing resentment and rejoicing in punishment, which has been the right's schtick since Torquemada. And resentment, fear and punishment are very good at accommodating themselves to new facts. We could discover a thousand touching Hallmark moments in…

Peter Donnelly started this topic off in a humorous way. He acknowledged he had a more challenging topic than some of the other presenters with seemingly more interesting topics. He shared a funny statement saying, “Statisticians liked figures but didn’t have the personality to become accountants.” He went on to joke about the best way to avoid a conversation with a stranger that you do not know is to tell them you are a statistician – they will quickly become disinterested and move on to…

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…

Group Presentation Critique Our delivery was good, but like anything in life, could’ve been better. We worked hard and focused on transitioning from person to person smoothly, so that our transitions did not seem awkward. We made the mistake of not checking out what computer we’d be using and what we would need to bring in order to show our power point. This hindered our delivery because we had a tough time getting started. We also failed to try and run the video used in the presentation…

Mill claims that the only people suited to make a comparison between the value of two things are only those who have experienced both.

Competent judges can also be bias from the start because they are…
