Topic
Often times there are so many variables involved in a study that it is difficult to distinguish “causes”. For example, there is the belief that “smoking causes lung cancer”. I tend to believe this myself but my own mother was a chain smoker and never developed lung cancer. There are many other variables that might affect the outcome of lung cancer such as working conditions, heredity, diet, etc.
It is too hard to account for every “factor” in these circumstances so we might just focus on one such as studying lung cancer patients and asking them if they smoked or not.
In this discussion, you are going to come up with some example of the binomial probability distribution. Remember our definition:
Def: Binomial probability distribution
1. procedure has fixed # of trials
2. trials must be independent
3. each trial must have all outcomes classified into 2 categories
4. probabilities must remain constant for each trial
For example, we interview 50 lung cancer patients (fixed # of trials). They come from all occupations and parts of the state (independence). Either they smoked or did not smoke (2 categories). If 15% of the population smokes then the probability would remain constant for each trial equaling 15% or 0.15. This would meet the conditions for a binomial probability distribution.
Come up with your own examples of a binomial probability distribution. It can be made up, you do not need actual numbers.

The question is: Investigate how artists represent their concerns about issues in the world.

– Apply your understanding of the relationships among the artist, artwork, world and audience
in writing the essay, with a focus on the artist’s personal ideas on world issues
– Refer to 3 artists (Australian): Ben Quilty, Ron Mueck and Rosalie Gascoigne
– Explain the conceptual framework to present a point of view and a understanding of the visual
arts
– Analyse examples of artworks to support the discussion, including the image of artworks
– Use one of the Visual Arts scaffolds- ALARM / 4 Stage plan / PEEL to structure the essay.

Use this set out:

P – Point
E – Example
E – Explanation
L- Link to question

Plan (there shoould be 8 paragraphs in total):

Introduction (100 words):
Refer to question
Introduce thesis
Introduce artists and artworks
Ben Quilty (300 words in total):
Paragraph 1: Context/background
Paragraph 2: Analyse and interpret artwork

Ron Mueck (300 words in total):
Paragraph 1: Context/background
Paragraph 2: Analyse and interpret artwork

Rosalie Gascoigne (300 words in total):
Paragraph 1: Context/background
Paragraph 2: Analyse and interpret artwork

Conclusion (100 words):
Summarise the response in regards to the question & thesis

Please explain to the class the questions below:
1) Discuss the range of possible values for probabilities
A gambler claimed that he had loaded a die so that it would hardly ever come up 1. He said the outcomes of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 would have probabilities 1/20, 1/6, 1/6, 1/6, 1/6, 1/6 respectively. Can he do what he claimed? Why or why not? Is a probability distribution described by listing the outcomes along with their corresponding probabilities? Why or why not?

2) Explain how a nonstandard normal distribution differs from the standard normal distribution. Describe the process for finding probabilities for nonstandard normal distributions. Illustrate with examples

3) The distribution of certain test scores is a nonstandard normal distribution with a mean of 50 and a standard deviation of 6. What are the values of the mean and standard deviation after all test scores have been standardized by converting them to z scores using z = (x – μ)/σ. Select a choice:
A) The mean is 0 and the standard deviation is 1.
B) The mean is 10 and the standard deviation is 100.
C) The mean is 1 and the standard deviation is 0.
D) The mean is 100 and the standard deviation is 10.

Grading Criteria:
1) Directly and completely post the requested information. 60
2) Respond to another student’s post explaining the reason for your agreement or disagreement or why you think the post is important. 20
3) Respond to two or more posts explaining the reason for your agreement or disagreement or why you think the post is important. 20

Data anlysis on findings and implications of the reserach done through interviews of brand mangers and consumers

write three essay on fiction story each essays on own page and 2 pages reflection on why you choose those three essays

In at least 500 words, answer the following:

How does the primary text exemplify the Greek (Plato and Aristotle) or Roman (Cicero) approach to rhetoric as described in the textbook?
How does the author of the primary text view rhetoric’s relationship to morals/ethics and social responsibility? If your text has multiple speakers (e.g., Plato’s Gorgias), outline the positions of one or more of the speakers in the dialogue.
Based on what you have read, how do you think the Greek and Roman approaches to rhetoric differ from one another? How did rhetoric’s role in society change from ancient Greek culture to the Roman context?

Critical Thinking
As an idealistic, newly degreed Healthcare professional, you want to be all things to all people.
1) You want to open more access to healthcare.
2) You want the care to be of high quality.
3) You want the care to be affordable.
Discuss if these three goals are really achievable, and, if not, what programmatic changes might be made to help accomplish each of the three components. This is very topical, given the struggle in the USA to deal with healthcare and health insurance challenges.
Please note that you should support your “opinion” with researched facts and data, with citations and references.
A minimum of two pages, double-spaced, is required (not including references)

Summarize the considerations for planning meaning activities in the affective and aesthetic domains of development (support with scholarly source)

Explain the teaching strategies that are important to use within each domain of development

Summarize explicitly how your lesson includes each domain. Support this portion of your paper with a scholarly source

Justify how you connected the affective and aesthetic domains of development to your state standards

Choose an organization with which you are familiar, and discuss
the following:
Interview a manager who has been
involved in change in their organization. This could be one of your
classmates who is or has previously been a manager.
Ask them to describe the change,
what they were trying to accomplish, and what happened.
After the interview, describe the
processes of the change, “what” was being changed, and
“how” things were changed.
N.B: Be sure to practice your qualitative techniques. For example, think
about your questions before the interview; try to understand the situation from
the perspective of your respondent; check your understanding by letting your
respondent know what you think has been said; etc. Again, take this opportunity
to improve your qualitative research skills.

Compare and contrast Booker T. Washington’s views with W.E. B. Du Bois. You might consider which point of view won out and whose argument is the more convincing.

If you do research remember to use both a Works Cited page and an in-text citation.
If you write a creative essay, and do research, all you need is the Works Consulted (Bibliography page)
