    Chebyshev’s Theorem and The Empirical Rule Suppose we ask 1000 people what their age is. If this is a representative sample then there will be very few people of 1-2 years old just as there will not be many 95 year olds. Most will have an age somewhere in their 30’s or 40’s. A list of the number of people of a certain age may look like this: |Age |Number of people | |0 |1 | |1 |2 | |2 |3

    Lab of Determining an Empirical Formula B2 Honors 12/18/13 Abstract In this lab‚ to help better understand the concepts of gram atomic masses and empirical formulas‚ we found the gram atomic masses and empirical formula of a binary compound. The two compounds should form a definite whole number ratio by mass. This ratio will also help determine the subscripts of the elements in the empirical formula. Errors in this experiment can stem from measuring wrong or doing equations incorrectly.

    Empirical Rationalism claims that it can be clearly observed that a person’s moral judgements come directly from his or her rational capacity. In other words‚ it claims that based on observation‚ it is evident that our moral judgements come from reason. This opposes to sentimentalists’ theories which claim that our moral judgments come from our emotions. Shaun Nichols affirms that research done on psychopaths proves empirical rationalism wrong. For example‚ he states that psychopaths’ ability to

    Empirical Evidence The study of addiction has included alcoholism and drug addiction for a long time. The recent obesity epidemic has brought food addiction as a serious concern even though it is still a controversial issue. It is difficult to accept the idea of food being an addiction. Addiction has been defined as” a primary‚ chronic disease involving brain reward‚ motivation‚ memory and related circuitry.”(Whitepaper) There are numerous studies and research that support the fact that over
