    Slavery began in America to aid in crop production, which at that time was just beginning. The first slaves were brought over to the American colony of Jamestown. These African slaves were brought over to replace servants because the slaves were cheaper, and there was a higher supply.

    Slavery played enormous roles in shaping the Revolution and its immediate aftermath during the years 1770 to 1800. Slavery in the colonies during this time period outlined the hypocritical nature of the revolutionaries as best seen in this quote from Foner. “’How is it … that we hear the loudest yelps for liberty from the drivers of negroes?’” (Foner, page 232) However, slavery also was a crucial party of the Colonies’ economies leading to the argument that slavery won Americans their war for Independence because of French aid. Moreover, slavery became a very contentious issue for the Nation to address after her battle for freedom was over.…

    The world is filled with uncertainties. Consumer prices, economic fluctuations, political candidate popularity, water quality, portfolio investment management, and everyday decisions, among others, are often ambiguous, unclear, and indeterminate. Statisticians help individuals resolve the vagueness of life by developing characterizations and drawing conclusions surrounding these questions (American Statistical Association [ASA], 2008). Statistics is a division of mathematics that centers on the collection and evaluation of data, which can be drawn upon to make conclusions (Aron, Aron, & Coups, 2006, 2). Two branches of statistics exist, including descriptive and inferential domains. Extrapolation beyond the data is where the real difference emerges. Indeed, these two subcategories vary in function and definition. However, a relationship exists between descriptive and inferential statistics, irrespective of the distinction in purpose and meaning.…
