Algebra In the News

Unit 7 Assignment: In the News
In the News

Introduction:
In a newspaper, magazine or the internet, find information that discusses an “average”. Apply what you are learning about statistics to make a prediction. Begin the process by following these steps:
Include your article as a screenshot, or copy and paste it and include the link to the article.
What are the units of the variable?
Is the average used, the median or mean? How can you tell?
Calculate the five number box plot and draw the box plot.
Calculate the standard deviation.
What is the spread of the data?
Make a probability statement based on the data using the z-score table.
Write an analysis based on what you have learned.
Example
On https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/j/jamesle01/gamelog/2019/ you can find statistics on LeBron James scoring.
The units of the variable are points.
The average is the sum of points divided by the total number of games (if possible use a spreadsheet to help calculate the information). The average this season is 27.6
Min: 13, Q1: 22, Median: 26, Q3:32, Max: 51, IQR: 10
The standard deviation is 8.29 points.
The spread from the lowest to highest is 51-13 = 38 points
Using z-scores, assuming the data is normal (which may not be true), the probability that LeBron James will score more than 43 points in his next game is.
(43-27.6)/8.29 =1.85 The area under the curve above 1.85 is .0322, so there is approximately a 3% chance.

How Important Are Writing Skills in the Job Market

Prior to beginning this discussion, please conduct research and find the following:
At least two articles from the past seven years that discuss the importance of writing skills in the job market. Look for articles that report on research, are written by business leaders, or quote insights from business leaders. You may not use articles from “.edu” sites: these tend to be speculative rather than grounded in the current business world. You will be required to list the titles and URLs of your articles in your discussion post, using APA formatting.
In this discussion, you and your classmates will reflect on how important writing is in today’s job market. In this discussion, address the following topics in your post:
Discuss the value of strong writing skills in the job market. Everyone knows that technical skills are increasingly important in today’s work world—but what about writing? Are strong writing skills still an asset? If so, why?
Summarize the articles that you found and include your perspective on the authors’ views. Do you agree with them? Why or why not? Share links to the two articles, along with their reference information, formatted in APA style.
Reflect on a field that interests you for a potential career. Will you need strong writing skills in that field? Why or why not?

Canadian History: The Staples, Laurentian, and Metropolitan theses

Canadian History-Module 3 Activity 3.4 ONLY

Learning
Activity 3.4-Part 1 & Part 2
The Staples, Laurentian, and Metropolitan theses are all
attempts to explain the historical development of Canada in geographic and
economic terms. To understand how they relate to each other and what is
distinct about each of the three, it is probably most useful to try to apply
them on a small scale. (See Module 3 text for a description of each thesis as
well as the associated readings)

Part
2: Applying the Staples, Laurentian, and Metropolitan Theses
It seems appropriate to use the development of Sudbury,
Ontario, Canada as our example for this exercise. The town of Sudbury was
founded in 1883 as part of the construction of the Canadian Pacific Railway.
Take a look at the section titled “Development” of the following article:
Saarinen, O.W. “Sudbury.” Canadian Encyclopedia. Last
modified June 23, 2015.
Now,
for each of the three theses, write a short paragraph which would explain the
initial development of Sudbury (don’t worry about going beyond 1885 –
focus on why the town was founded) in the framework of that thesis.
As an example, if you were going to use the older “Great
Man” theory of history to explain Sudbury’s development, you might write something
like this. In this case, the emphasis for the community’s creation is put onto
Worthington as the key figure.
As the CPR passed through Northern Ontario, depots
were required to allow the trains to refuel. It was CPR Superintendent James Worthington
who oversaw the establishment of the new community of Sudbury and gave it its
name in honour of his wife’s English birthplace.
Try
to keep each of your three paragraphs to no more than 75-100 words. They
do not need to be long. Be sure you clearly identify which thesis is used in which paragraph.
