Throughout reading Chapter 8‚ Perceiving Motion‚ I learned how we typically act in our daily lives.

Throughout the chapter‚ Postman creates the feeling of guilt

Statistics – Case Chapter 9 1. It is not proper to multiply the average order size by the number of addresses (1.3 million people = population) in the target mailing because the sample is representative of the 600‚000 people in the database‚ not the 1.3 million target population‚ thus you cannot use the average of the sample as an estimate for the population.

The bank to which Jack applied refused a mortgage loan.” (Du Bois 110). I found this especially interesting because of my family history and housing.
