If you choose 40 random employees from the corporation, the standard error would equal 6/Square root of 40 = .95 days. The 12 days in this department corresponds to (12-8.2)/.95 = 4 standard errors above the corporation average of 8.2. This is much higher than two or three standard errors, and it appears to be beyond chance variation. Chapter 9 Exercise 3 The p- value tells you how likely it would be to get results at least as extreme as this if there was no difference in the taste and only chance variation was operating. In this problem, p-value of 0.02 means that, if there is no difference in taste, then there is only 2% chance that 70% or more people would declare one drink better than the
Many alternatives are accessible to use. Using other options instead of animals for research come with infinite benefits including less expensive procedures, more animals in their natural habitats, and unharmed organisms. It eliminates the factor of harming animals in order to proceed with scientific discoveries. Sullivan (2012) finds it “less spendy” and faster to use artificial skin and human eye models in addition to the fact they are more accurate methods. These non-animal methods replace those archaic animal tests, and take less time to complete.
Great Basin College AMS 320 LAB 9 Objective In this lab we will perform an investigation to determine the half-life of a radioactive isotope Ba-137m. Introduction No other facet of chemistry has captured the attention of people in the latter half of the 1900s as the field of radiation. From the discovery of x-rays in 1900 to the destructive power of atomic weapons, we have seen a history that is very interesting. As discussed in class lecture, some atoms are unstable. Some will change into another element if given enough time.
EVOLUTION REVEALS THE TRUTHS Evolution is a debatable issue and it will be argued for many years, because it is in contradiction with creationism. Evolution explains that all living creatures come from same ancestors and evolutionary change leads to new species. These species should be the fittest for the surroundings to survive and they continue to mutate. It is life or death struggle. However, creationism says that the world and living things was created by God.
The ones who believe this, do not comprehend the many different factors in war and how the route that was chosen was best for both parties that were directly affiliated with the bombings. The cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki would have been fire bombed if the atomic bombs were not dropped, causing similar damage and death counts to the atomic bombs. According to Kyoko Iriye Selden, "The most influential text is Truman's 1955 Memoirs, which states that the atomic bomb probably saved half a million US lives— anticipated casualties in an Allied invasion of Japan planned for November. Stimson subsequently talked of saving one million US casualties, and Churchill of saving one million American and half that number of British lives"(1). With this amount of casualties projected, a land invasion would have trumped the death toll of D-Day.
There are no tests or actual empirical evidence for God’s existence. Anthony Flew stated that claims of God’s existence are empirically empty; this is because for the person who makes them, they cannot be falsified as there is also no empirical evidence disproving God’s existence. Yet some people may argue that God’s existence can be proven through the order and design of the universe. For example William Paley believed that every contrivance found in a watch is also found in nature; a watch has several complex features which work together perfectly to function, anything that has such features must have a designed; ergo it must have a designer. The universe is like the watch in the sense that it has complex features that work together perfectly; therefore the universe like the watch must have been designed.
You don’t need to be interested in taking a developmental psychology course to appreciate the intriguing facts about the nature and nurture argument. Most people have an opinion about controversial issues such as why some people are gay, when their siblings are not, and for all the argument papers ever written, there will always be attention-grabbing counter arguments to follow. The ontological argument (proving the existence of God) is a fine example of an ongoing and highly controversial argument, and one does not need a philosophy degree to arrive at an opinion about that. Furthermore, if both parties to the ontological argument did not subscribe to any organized religion, the debate would still be as lively. Despite research to the contrary, people continue to debate whether our environment, our genetic code, or some other inexplicable influence is solely responsible for the development of our physical and non-physical attributes.The nature-nurture debate has long been a topic of interest among psychologists.
New jobs are made every day to replace the old jobs. No matter what, new technology will never replace all jobs. Right now, technology can not replicate how humans think but they are close. Alan Turing, a computer pioneer from the 1950s declared that, “One day there would be a machine that could duplicate human intelligence in every way and prove it by passing a specialized test.” (“Artificial Intelligence (AI)”). As a matter of fact, Alan Turing is right now wrong, artificial intelligence can not duplicate human intelligence because the human mind is
Species occur in over 400 in general. There are many more species of plant –eating dinosaurs named than carnivores because carnivores were fewer in number. Where did dinosaurs live? Dinosaurs lived everywhere on earth, including the South Pole, which had no ice then. Do we have any living dinosaurs today, like the coelacanth or Komodo dragon?
The goal formally was to lose or gain no more than one out of every billion billion seconds. That is one second in about 32 billion years, and is 10 to 100 times better than any existing clocks. Already, atomic clocks have come a long way. While experimental clocks are moving ahead, a device called the NIST-F1 is the official U.S. timekeeper. It’s accurate to a few parts in 1016.
