...Miguel Caballero 010040535 BIO 342L Th 9-11:45AM Lab Report 1: Introduction to Statistics and Graphing Comparison of jump height between males and females Figure 1: Comparison of avg jump (in CM) between males (n=11) and females (n=10) with a p-value of 0.00203. This p-value indicates a significant difference between the avg. jump heights of males and females. The bars are the avg. jump heights along with standard deviation of the mean. Results: The p-value of 0.00203 is p<0.05 thus we reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is a significant difference between the two means. A big part that contributes to this result (significant differences) is that males on average tend to have more muscle mass than females (largely due to higher testosterone levels) thus, are able to generate more power and hence a bigger jump height. Additionally, muscle to fat ratio is higher in males in males than in females. Physiologically, females tend to have more body fat hence decreasing their overall lower muscle to fat ratio and in a sense are weighed down versus the males which tend to have less body fat. Other sources of error could be that males tend to be more competitive versus females and that the measuring methods were not the best (eyeballing where the person’s hand landed on the ruler). Comparison of calf circumference and jump height in males Figure 2: Comparison of avg. calf circumference and jump height (both in CM) in males (n=11). A R2 value of...

...Anthony Wessel Section 2 HW 1 4. (a). The observational units are the people that went on diets. (b). The explanatory variable is the type of follow up to the diet that is randomly assigned to the observational units, and it is categorical. The response variable is whether or not the dieter regained 5 or more pounds, and this variable is categorical. (c). This a randomized experiment because the treatments are randomly assigned to the subjects. (d). The null hypothesis is that there is no difference between the proportion of people who regained at least 5 pounds after dieting and being treated with each of these follow-up treatments. The alternative hypothesis is that there is at least one of the proportions that are different than the other two, in that the proportion of dieters who regained at least 5 pounds is not the same as the other two proportions. (e). The estimate of the p-value of the MAD statistic is .0008. (f). The p-value of the chi squared statistic in this simulation is .0008, which is the same as the MAD statistic p-value. (g). The chi squared distribution seems to fit fairly well, though it could be a little better and fit a little closer to the data. Based on the two-way table, I would expect the distributions to be pretty similar, because all of the expected counts are above 5, which means that this dataset fits the requirements for a chi squared distribution. (h). The degrees of freedom is 2, the chi squared test statistic is 13...

...Purpose Statement: The purpose of my speech is to persuade my fellow classmates that if you drink and drive there will be consequences. Intro: I’m sure that most of you have heard the story of Jacqueline Saburido. This was the young lady that was involved in a car accident and practically burned alive due to a drunk driver. She was on her way home from a birthday party with some of her friends. Just then a young 17 yr old boy who was headed home from a party with his friends smashed into her car due to alcohol. Two friends died on the scene and two were rescued, but poor Jacqui was pinned in the front of the car unable to move. The car caught fire in just minutes after the impact. Over sixty percent of her body was burned and to this day she has gone over fifty operations in order to survive. To begin with, I will explain a personal story. Next, the statistics that go along with drunk driving and accident are remarkable. But there are ways that you can help prevent it. I. An incident happened just this year on the night of Halloween. A. Sitting at home that night watching the movie Halloween with my family and girlfriend. 1.Just minutes after the movie ended there was this loud bang out front. It literally sounded like someone had ran into one of our cars in the driveway. We look out the front window and see that across the street there was a Jeep Cherokee that had smashed into a tree. We all ran out to see if everyone was ok and my mom was calling...

...History Generosity is a quality, the desire to give to others without being asked. Before even the enactment of any legislation, philanthropists helped to shape the way we organize to support the less fortunate. The history of charitable organizations in the United States originated almost at the same time as the formation of our new nation. Benjamin Franklin, was one the founders of our nations and the earliest American philanthropists. He founded the University of Pennsylvania to educate youth. The early setters formed charitable and voluntary associations to help with issues of the era like education, orphanages, and illness (Arnsberger, Ludlum, Riley & Stanton, 2008 p. 1). Young Americans were able to form charitable organizations to fill gaps in the social welfare programs. Back then, charities were mainly hospitals and orphanages support by religious groups and wealthy individuals. During the 19th century, these organizations were controlled and founded by private corporations or a person (Arnsberger, Ludlum, Riley & Stanton, 2008 p. 2). The bloom of the American industry gave birth to bigger corporations; at the same time, the increase of more formal charitable organizations. It wasn’t until the late 19th century that government began paying more attention to this new sector. The first legislation the government imposed was in1894, the Tariff Act that established a flat two percent tax to corporate income, but excluded charities. However, the Tariff Act was...

...LEBRON Intro- 1. Talk about how we’ve already talked about football before 2. How many of you like basketball?(show of hands) 3. Say how there is a constant debate on Kobe vs. LeBron 4. And I’m going to tell all of you why LeBron James is a better -Body 1. Start with how Kobe Bryant was drafted 13th overall in 1996 to the charlotte Hornets but was traded to the LA Lakers for Vlade Divac that’s how Kobe became a Laker and he has stayed there for his whole career. 2. LeBron James was drafted to the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2003 with the 1st pick and remained in Cleveland for 7 years until opting out to go to the Miami heat to form the “dream team” among Dwayne Wade who’d already had one NBA title and Chris Bosh who came the same year from the Toronto raptors. 3. Games played Kobe: 1240(25.5 points)(36.6 min) LeBron: 786(averaging 27.7 points)(39.9 min) what’s important about this is that Kobe didn’t start his first two years where LeBron did 4. The rings talk Kobe Bryant has won 4 Nba titles (2000, 2001, 2002 and 2010) compared to LeBron’s 2 (2012 and 2013) Kobe’s first three coming largely from the help off Shaq (28.7)(27.2)(21.5) while having a more complete team in 2010 with 4 players whom averaged over 10 points. 5. LeBron won his first ring with the help of Dwayne Wade (22.1)(21.2) and bosh who averaged (18.2) (16.4) although the others on the roster didn’t do much. 6. most peoples argument for Kobe is his rings but if you look closely to the stats LeBron beats...

...INTRO: Why is it that when you hear someone say “Marijuana should be legalized” you conjure of the image of a long-haired, red-eyed, burnt out hippy who loves nothing more than giggling at nothing. Yet, when you hear someone saying the legal drinking age should be lowered to 18, you couldn't agree more, even tough it wasn't the high kids you were stumbling around fighting that caused Riverboat to be a disaster. You think this because from the moment you understood English, the idea that drugs (mainly Marijuana) are the cause of all the problems of society. • QUOTE - Fact is, according to P.J. O'Rouke, that “no drug, not even alcohol causes the fundamental ills of society. If we're looking for the source of out troubles, we should test for stupidity, ignorance and greed, not drugs.” With the war on drugs, MJ has been propagandized to be the most evil thing in society. Thesis: However, MJ should be legal because it is a personal freedom I, as an American should be able to choose, it is an economical and medicinal benefit to society as a whole, and the cause of problems related to MJ are because it is illegal. I. The question should not be “why should MJ be legal?”, but “why shouldn't MJ be legal?” A. After all, it grows naturally on this planet. i. For you evolutionists, that means that MJ is older than mankind is. And for you Creationists, that means that God himself created MJ. ii. Doesn't the idea of making nature illegal seem a but...unnatural to you? Who is...

...Theresa Sidders Intro to Criminology 02/29/2012 The School Shooter Perspective Threat Assessment In July of 1999 a symposium in Leesburg, VA was held to present a systematic procedure for the threat assessment and intervention of violence in our schools. The results from a 1998 study done by the FBI’s National Center for Analysis of Violent Crime are being used to formulate concepts and principles to address and prevent school shootings. In this study, eighteen school shootings were reviewed and the combined information is being used to bring better knowledge of the behavioral prospective of the shooters. Although it is almost impossible to “profile” a shooter, there are some situations that are similar in the separate cases. Instead of focusing on the misinformation that is given by the media about the shooters, i.e. that all the school shooters tend to be loners, or that they are all motivated by revenge, this symposium is focused on what possible types of behaviors, family and social backgrounds that may play a part in these individuals lives that the schools can be made aware of ahead of time in order to prevent any further school shootings from happening. Understanding that a threat, is an expression of intent to cause harm or act out violently against someone or something. This can be done verbally, in writing or by using symbols, for example, using one’s hands to form of a gun. After a threat is made it is necessary to determine what category the...
