The spinner itself is spun a total of 36 times, it lands on A 6 times, B 21 times and C 9 times. The empirical probability that it will land on A is 6/36, and B 21/36 and C 9/36. 21/36*100 = 58.3% of the time Probability of A = 6/36= 16.7% Probability of B = 21/36 = 58.% Probability of C = 9/36 = 25% 16.7+58.3+25 + 100 4. If a person is randomly selected, find the probability that his or her birthday is not in May. Ignore leap years.
Cycles in Time and History- The very first Mitzva the Jewish people were given was to establish a calendar based on only the moon and not the sun. The idea represented in this colossal and monumental act was that of complete and final divergence from the Egyptian culture. The Egyptians were of the belief that they came from the sun, their sun god, was considered the source that they received their sustenance and power from. The idea represented therein is, that while the sun is stationary and unchanging the moon however, is constantly changing and renewing within every month. The Egyptians believed that as the sun is constant and unchanging they believed that they have no free will or moral freedom.
“God called the light “ day,” and the darkness he called “ night”. And there was evening, and there was morning,- the first day. According to the NIV Study Bible. “Some say that the creation day were 24 hour days, others that they were indefinite periods.” (NIV Study Bible By Zandervan p.10) (2008) Day of forming 1. Light (v.3) 2.
For example, the first book which was on this subject was made by Bill Kaysing who he himself published was called ‘’We never went to the Moon: America’s Thirty Billion Dollar Swindle’’. It was released in 1974 which was just after two Apollo missions were succeeded. This is one of the mass public medias that made people believed that it was an hoax. Another example which reinforced this idea is a film called Capricorn One. This movie is about a mission similar to the Apollo’s where several astronauts are ready to take off to space, but there was a problem with the rocket so they had to fake it to make the public believe.
Chris Oates is a member of a worldwide cadre working with devices at the frontier of clockmaking. His team’s clock loses time at a rate of about one second every few hundred million years. The metrology of time is not holding still. In the April-June issue of Reviews of Modern Physics, experimental physicist Hidetoshi Katori of the University of Tokyo and theorist Andrei Derevianko of the University of Nevada, Reno declared dramatic ambitions for a record-breaking atomic clock based on emissions from mercury atoms. The goal formally was to lose or gain no more than one out of every billion billion seconds.
Ole Roemer, Cassini’s assistant, used Cassini’s data and additional observations of his own to determine the relationship between the earth’s distance from Jupiter and the timing of Io’s occultations. He used his estimate of the time light took to traverse earth’s orbit (22 minutes) to predict the delay in Io’s 1676 eclipse to be approximately 10 minutes. (Roemer did not know the diameter of the earth’s orbit, so he never actually made a prediction of the speed of light.) Roemer presented his results to the French Academy of Sciences,
Within the gospel of Mark, 90 percent of it appears to be in Matthew and 50 percent of Mark's Gospel is found in Luke. This can indicate that Mark may have written his first. However Mark could be a summary of the other two gospels, but in Mark, the Birth and Resurrection narratives are not included whereas they are in both Matthew and Luke. If Matthew and Luke did not get their information on the birth and resurrection narratives from Mark, then there may be possibility that they might have got it from another source, this unknown source is referred to as “Q”. The “Q” source is only a possibility due to the fact that there is no evidence for it as it has been lost.
Aristotle was correct about his first argument, but his second one was challenged by a scientist by the name of Ptolemy. Ptolemy elaborated onto Aristotle’s idea of the earth being the in the “center” of the universe second century AD. Next, Hawking discusses the accomplishments of Nicholas Copernicus, a polish priest who contributed to science around 1514. Copernicus’ theory (Copernican theory), stated that the sun was stationary and at the center while the earth and other planets orbited the sun. Nearly a century passed until Copernican
Should the Leap year be abolished? P: I do not think that the leap year should be abolished. E: "However, the Gregorian calendar has only 365 days in a year, so if we didn't add a day on February 29 nearly every 4 years, we would lose almost six hours off our calendar every year. After only 100 years, our calendar would be off by approximately 24 days" (http://www.timeanddate.com/date/leapyear.html) E: This source shows that leap years are important for keeping time on track and ensuring that the calender time does not move ahead of what we percieve the time to be e.g. winter time etc.
In his last book 45 Years in Wall Street (1949), he highlighted and defended his trading rules and techniques. He said in the Foreword, “I am now in my 72nd year; fame would do me no good. I have more income than I can spend for my needs; therefore, my only object in writing this new book is to give to
