Desiree Carter Philosophy 303- Principles of Inquiry: Ways of Knowing Assignment #4 1. 1. What is the difference between science and technology? As Schick and Vaughn described in chapter 6‚ “Science seeks to understand the general principles that govern the universe – not to produce gadgets” (p.165). Science and technology hold many similarities with a fine line to decipher between the two; however they are both very different with their own meaning(s). Science is definitely used when it

Does asymptotic mean that the normal curve gets closer and closer to the X-axis but never actually touches it? Yes‚ asymptotic means that the curve of a line will approach 0 (the x-axis)‚ but it will not touch 0 and instead will extend to infinity. In this class‚ this applies to the normal continuous distribution and is one of the 4 key characteristics of a normal continuous distribution that our text book discusses. This means that the curve of the line will extend infinitely in both the negative

Throughout the play‚ “The Normal Heart” Kramer address more than just the AIDS epidemic; he teaches the audience to take pride and rejoice with one another being gay rather than hiding it to “protect” their social appearance. Within his efforts‚ Kramer uses relatable characters and communities to further his ideas. More importantly‚ Kramer never strays from writing the actual truth‚ including these ideas: the New York Times suppressing the gay community‚ Mayor Koch rejecting furthering the studies

experiment‚ the average normal heart rate of Daphnia is 20 heart beats per 12.94 seconds. There were six total trials done for Normal Heart Rate with 2 Daphnia (3 Trials each). The aim of this experiment was to measure the effect of neurotransmitters on the heart rate of Daphnia. When the adrenaline was added to the liquid around Daphnia and after a few seconds‚ its heart rate sped up. For example‚ during the first trial‚ the heart rate went from 20 H.B. per 12.54 seconds (For Normal) to 20 H.B. per 8

calls out the moral laziness and ineptness of both guilty parties; it calls for self-evaluation and action from each person‚ gay or straight. “The Normal Heart” identifies the hypocrisy in society in an Ibsenist manner‚ urgently and desperately seeking to arouse action among those who are emotionally affected by the play. In a ritual-like manner‚ “The Normal Heart” aggravates change in both the gay community and non-gay society in regards to the HIV-AIDS

_______________ 1. Where on the normal curve are the inflection points located? Where the slope starts to drop off at. 2. What is the standard normal distribution? A standard Normal distribution is a Normal curve with a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1. 3. What information does the standard normal table give? The area that falls to the left of the given z-score. 4. How do you use the standard normal table (Table A) to find the area under the standard normal curve to the left of a given

Normality” Word Count: 679 Everyone has different opinions about what normal is. In some cultures‚ killing a human being is normal while in other tradition it is taught not to harm any animal. “The Lottery” by Shirley Jackson shows that the tradition of killing someone for the crops is normal but to many people these traditions are very abnormal. This is because they are willing to kill another person for their own needs. What is normal to them is very abnormal to us. Adults accept this “Lottery” just

for example‚ on the Central limit theorem. 1 Box Muller It would be nice to get a standard normal from a standard uniform by inverting the distribution function‚ but there is no closed form formula for this distribution 2 x function N (x) = P (X < x) = √1 π −∞ e−x /2 dx . The Box Muller method is a 2 brilliant trick to overcome this by producing two independent standard normals from two independent uniforms. It is based on the familiar trick for calculating ∞ 2 e−x I=

each having a ½= .50 probability. 2) How does a normal curve relate to a probability distribution? How and why can we make predictions about the occurrence of an event using a theoretical normal curve? The normal curve is a probability distribution and a theoretical ideal. The theoretical model known as the normal curve is a very useful probability distribution for its applications to actual research situations. The symmetrical‚ bell shaped‚ normal curve can be used to interpret the standard deviation

Inferential Statistics Drawing Conclusions based on Samples Introduction This chapter introduces how you can use data from a sample to draw conclusions about the larger population from which the sample was taken. Data often arises from the results of a survey of individuals. For example‚ the management of a fast food chain might be interested in determining the total number of dollars that Baylor students spend each year eating in Waco fast food restaurants. The fast food chain would
