...t chapter, you will study the sources of data and the mode of data collection. The purpose of collection of data is to collect evidence for reaching a sound and clear solution to a problem. In economics, you often come across a statement like, “After many fluctuations the output of food grains rose to 176 million tonnes in 1990–91 and 199 million tonnes in 1996–97, but fell to 194 million tonnes in 1997–98. Production of food grains then rose continuously and touched 212 million tonnes in 2001–02.” In this statement, you can observe that the food grains production in different years does not remain the same. It varies from year to year and from crop to crop. As these values Collection of Data d e In the previous chapter, you have read about what is economics.

...We need your help In northern Thailand, many remote villagers are very poor. They don’t have enough resources and money to develop their homes. Their children don’t have clean water to drink and use. They have to work for a long time and earn very low wages. They wear old clothes and don't have enough food. They even need to collect insects for food. They live in small huts. Their sanitation is very poor. They can’t receive an education because they don’t have any materials to study. They are innocent and unfortunate. With your support They will have opportunities to receive an education. We are lucky that we live in Hong Kong. So would you like to help them? If so, show your support Our school collects textbooks and IT-devices to help the children who live in the remote villages every year. If you have some unwanted textbooks and/or IT-devices which are still in good condition but just occupying your space, is the chance to make them useful and make space for yourself by donating them.

...Compromise is defined as the ability to “allow your principles to be less strong or your standards or morals to be lower” (Source: Cambridge dictionary). In Steven Galloway’s, The Cellist of Sarajevo, Kenan, Dragan and Arrow are forced to compromise their happiness due to the war conditions in Sarajevo. Once an innocent 18-year-old girl and now a determined sniper, there are numerous incidents where Arrow is forced to sacrifice her desires in order to survive. As Arrow introduces us to the men on the hills and talks about changing her name, she states, “I am Arrow, because I hate them. The woman you knew hated nobody” (Galloway, 13). Arrow describes how she is much different from the person she was before the war. She describes...

...borrow a few minutes of your time to inform you on all the amazing things that make bees so remarkable and why they are so fascinating. I am going to talk to you about how their jobs provide for other bees in the colony, second I am going to talk to you about how they communicate with other bees, and then lastly I am going to talk to you about their flight and how powerful it is. So first of all bees are never alone because they are part of a colony. According to the New York Times, the jobs for bees are divided into two categories; the age of the bees and the gender. In terms of age, if you are a younger bee you will be taking care of the queen, you will be catering to the queen and all of the services the queen needs. If you are an older bee your job is to protect and build the hive and collect nectar and pollen. In terms of gender, if you are a female bee, you’re actually a worker bee. The female bees will fly out of the hives and they are the only ones that are going to collect nectar for the hive. If you are a male bee on the other hand your job is quite different. You simply protect the bee hive and fertilize the eggs of the queen. Now, as impressive as that all is… Bees communicate nonverbally with one another. The way they do this, the New York Times also states is through dancing and scent. I have here two female bees, they’re the only ones that can communicate through dancing. They communicate two things; they communicate the types of food that’s around and how...

...Energy Content of Foods Written by Chris Papadopoulos The energy content of foods is investigated. The energy released by a number of food samples and absorbed by water is determined using technology. Inferences about the energy content of foods with high fat content and foods with high carbohydrate content are then made. Hypothesis Foods, depending on their carbohydrate/fat composition, have different energy content that can be determined by measuring the heat release from their combustion. Primary Learning Outcomes At the end of this lesson, students will be able to: • Be familiarized with data collection using the Vernier LabPro and TI calculator • Be familiarized with the use of the Vernier LabPro temperature probe • Collect, graph, display and make inferences from data • Determine the amount of heat released by a substance given the specific heat capacity (Cp) of water, the mass (m) of the food sample and the change in temperature (∆t) Assessed GPS Characteristics of Science: Habits of Mind: SCSh2.

...about these factors as they relate to their food coloring products and that company sent to the group three samples of their food products to explore using spectroscopy as your technique for analysis. A variety of factors can affect the calculations intensity of the color of a result. In this investigation you will explore some of these factors. Materials In order to test the intensity of light, there are several different materials needed. Those materials are as follows; colorimeter probe (spectrophotometer), red food color solution, blue food color solution, green food color solution, deionized water, test tubes and rack, pipet, and a timer. Procedures: Part 1 The first part in the experiment is to pour each colored solution into a vial, then calibrate the spectrophotometer. The calibration steps are to set it on the 430nm wavelength, and to place a vial of de-ionized water inside, then press the calibration button and letting it calibrate for 10 seconds. The spectrophotometer should show a percent transmittance of 100% since it is pure water being tested. Calibration is needed before every test is completed. After the spectrophotometer is calibrated, place the vial containing the red food color solution into the machine with the ridged sides pointing to the left and right, then close the lid. Press the start button and let the data collect for about 30 seconds, then press the stop button. Once the test is completed, collect and record the data. Calibrate the spectrophotometer...

...applicable within a Fast Food Restaurant setting as it is useful to gauge personal opinion about how services can be improved by examining what they feel is missing from their overall experience, however this is very much down to the individuals own preference and so may not be wholly reflective of the general public’s viewpoint. Thus secondary data is also required, secondary data is any data that is derived from an alternative source that is not intended to monitor how the service can improve or what individuals feel are missing this could be done by examining the sales of other fast food restaurants situated on Canary Wharf and analysing them alongside the sales of Wahaca in order to establish what elements may be present in competing restaurants that draw in a greater amount of service. Plan for Collection of Primary and Secondary Data: • Primary Data-I would collect primary data by conducting focus groups: a group of potential customers who frequent the Canary Wharf area will be brought together to discuss Wahaca’s recent establishment and their experience of the service their. A moderator will be used to focus the discussion, and the sessions will be recorded,the main points of consensus will later summarized by the market researcher. • Secondary Data-I would use Information Resources, Inc. (IRI), businesses scanner-based research. Scanner-based research is information collected by scanners at checkout stands in stores. Each week IRI collects information on the millions...

...Every Sunday I do activities such as visit a nursing home, help the elderly with yard work, gather meals for backpack buddies, and visit the elderly who are unable to leave their homes. Visiting the elderly has always given back to me not only by spending time with them but also by hearing their stories. I enjoy giving them my time and attention. On Service Team we collect canned food, fruit, cereal, and other food items, and we organize everything we collect by distributing it all equally into about 30 bags a week. We then send the bags to the local schools and the meals go home with the students who do not have food at home.
