Question 1 How can graphics and/or statistics be used to misrepresent data? Where have you seen this done? Answer: It is a well known fact that statistics can be misleading. They are often used to prove a point and an easily be twisted in favor of that point. Statistics‚ graphics and database are used in medical field to approve‚ prove or disapprove theories‚ analysis and interpretation of ailments‚ medications and its impact and treatment and its effectiveness. As noted by Nursing Research (2011)/

Cosine Transform∗ Gilbert Strang† Abstract. Each discrete cosine transform (DCT) uses N real basis vectors whose components are π cosines. In the DCT-4‚ for example‚ the jth component of vk is cos(j + 1 )(k + 1 ) N . These 2 2 basis vectors are orthogonal and the transform is extremely useful in image processing. If the vector x gives the intensities along a row of pixels‚ its cosine series ck vk has the coefficients ck = (x‚ vk )/N . They are quickly computed from a Fast Fourier Transform. But a

How is knowledge gained? What are the sources? To what extent might these vary according to age‚ education‚ and cultural background? As we grow old we will continue to learn new things in life‚ weather it’s how to ride a bike or learn about our heritage and certain religions. We constantly increase our knowledge in various ways to help us progress further and develop our brains more which in turn will help us develop ourselves. Of course we will learn from the media‚ books or from other people

18. March 2010 Saturn Corporation : A different Kind of Car company Saturn was created by General Motors chairman Roger Smith in 1985 to be a “Different Kind of Car Company” . As the single-most defining characteristic of the new company‚ Saturn proclaimed that sole focus was creating and maintaining a strong relationship with the customers. Saturn put significant resources into Customer research and product development. Hopes were high that GM could reach a new market area with a new

who discussed the FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) for the first time in history. In past years‚ researchers believed that a discrete Fourier transform can also be calculated and classified as FFT by using the Danielson-Lanczos lemma theorem. By using this theorem‚ this process is slower than other‚ as it is slightly tainted in speed due to the power of N (exponent of N) are not 2. Therefore‚ if the number of points i.e. N is not a power of two‚ then the transform will only gives you the sets of points

3.3 Failure to Secure Sensitive Data Many researchers have been concerned about the security of sensitive data. There are a lot of improvement and evolution of technologies in internal auditing. First of all‚ sensitive data is information that must be protected from unauthorized access to safeguard the privacy or security of an individual or organization. There are three main types of sensitive data such as personal information‚ business information and classified information. Sensitive personally

How did Stalin transform the Russian economy? 1924-1941 In 1924‚ Russia faced significant economic‚ political and social changes. In the next 17 years‚ a relatively short period of time‚ Russia‚ under Stalin would undergo domestic measures. During this period we would see rapid industrialisation‚ enormous growth in agriculture and a tripling in the workforce‚ resulting in a modernised Russian economy. Without exception‚ all of the economic policies introduced were ruthless and designed to transform

Volvo Trucks; Penetrating the U.S. Market Competition in the world heavy truck industry increased significantly during the 1990s. Volvo was one the top three heavy truck competitions in the world in 2000. In 1975‚ Volvo had been attempting to penetrate the U.S.S heavy truck market. Volvo acquired the bankrupt U.S. truck manufacturer White Motor Corporation in May 1981‚ and the heavy truck division of General Motors in 1988. In spite of these efforts‚ Volvo had never achieved more than a 12% market
