Discussion Board Forum 1/Project 2 Instructions
Standard Deviation and Outliers
Thread:
For this assignment, you will use the Project 2 Excel Spreadsheet to answer the questions below. In each question, use the spreadsheet to create the graphs as described and then answer the question.
Put all of your answers into a thread posted in Discussion Board Forum 1/Project 2.
This course utilizes the Post-First feature in all Discussion Board Forums. This means you will only be able to read and interact with your classmates’ threads after you have submitted your thread in response to the provided prompt. For additional information on Post-First, click here for a tutorial. This is intentional. You must use your own work for answers to Questions 1–5. If something happens that leads you to want to make a second post for any of your answers to Questions 1–5, you must get permission from your instructor.
1. A. Create a set of 5 points that are very close together and record the standard deviation. Next, add a sixth point that is far away from the original 5 and record the new standard deviation.
What is the impact of the new point on the standard deviation? Do not just give a numerical value for the change. Explain in sentence form what happened to the standard deviation. (4 points)
B. Create a data set with 8 points in it that has a mean of approximately 10 and a standard deviation of approximately 1. Use the second chart to create a second data set with 8 points that has a mean of approximately 10 and a standard deviation of approximately 4. What did you do differently to create the data set with the larger standard deviation? (4 points)
2. Go back to the spreadsheet and clear the data values from Question 1 from the data column and then put values matching the following data set into the data column for the first graph. (8 points)
50, 50, 50, 50, 50.
Notice that the standard deviation is 0. Explain why the standard deviation for this one is zero. Do not show the calculation. Explain in words why the standard deviation is zero when all of the points are the same. If you don’t know why, try doing the calculation by hand to see what is happening. If that does not make it clear, try doing a little research on standard deviation and see what it is measuring and then look again at the data set for this question.
3. Go back to the spreadsheet one last time and put each of the following three data sets into one of the graphs. Record what the standard deviation is for each data set and answer the questions below.
Data set 1:
0, 0, 0, 100, 100, 100
Data set 2:
0, 20, 40, 60, 80, 100
Data set 3:
0, 40, 45, 55, 60, 100
Note that all three data sets have a median of 50. Notice how spread out the points are in each data set and compare this to the standard deviations for the data sets. Describe the relationship you see between the amount of spread and the size of the standard deviation and explain why this connection exists. Do not give your calcu ...

Week 1 Laboratory Assignment
In this lab we will investigate the use of direction fields to evaluate solutions to first order differential equations.
For this lab, we will study these qualitative analysis tools via the example of population growth using the Gompertz equation as a model. This equation is used to model the growth of tumor cells, and gives an expression of the dependence of tumor size on time.
The differential equation governing the growth is:
Here is the growth rate is a reflection of the carrying capacity of the tumor.
Let ; ; and V range from 0 to 100
1. Plot the graph of vs. . Note you may have to use the vectorization operator “.” to evaluate the function of the differential equation.
2. Determine the equilibrium points (by-hand or MATLAB) and plot them on the same graph as part (1) using red circles. Use a legend to indicate the equilibrium points and the original plot.
3. Using the gradient() function, plot the derivative of versus on the same plot. That is, plot vs. .
4. Determine the stability of each equilibrium point and the region of attraction. Write these answers as comments in your code. Comment on the stability as it related to the graph.
5. From this graph, are we able to tell how long the tumor will take to grow to units if the initial size is units? Why? Write your answers as comments in the code.
We will now use the direction field tool to examine the solution.
6. Download the file from the course website in the MATLAB Resources folder. You may have to right-click and save the file to your computer. IMPORTANT! Make sure it is in the current directory you are working in.
OR
Access the dfield tools at http://math.rice.edu/~dfield/dfpp.html
7. Using the same parameters as above, plot the direction field of this differential equation. Set the time and variable limits appropriately.
8. Compare your results from part (4) to the direction field obtained to check: the stability of each equilibrium point and the region of attraction. Include these as comments in your code.
9. Estimate how long it will take for if. Hint: You can go to: WINDOW DFIELD Keyboard Input to enter the initial conditions.
10. Repeat the direction field plot with and estimate again how long it takes for if . Comment on your results as they compare to part (9).

Discussion Board Forum 1/Project 2 Instructions
Standard Deviation and Outliers
Thread:
For this assignment, you will use the Project 2 Excel Spreadsheet to answer the questions below. In each question, use the spreadsheet to create the graphs as described and then answer the question.
Put all of your answers into a thread posted in Discussion Board Forum 1/Project 2.
This course utilizes the Post-First feature in all Discussion Board Forums. This means you will only be able to read and interact with your classmates’ threads after you have submitted your thread in response to the provided prompt. For additional information on Post-First, click here for a tutorial. This is intentional. You must use your own work for answers to Questions 1–5. If something happens that leads you to want to make a second post for any of your answers to Questions 1–5, you must get permission from your instructor.
1. A. Create a set of 5 points that are very close together and record the standard deviation. Next, add a sixth point that is far away from the original 5 and record the new standard deviation.
What is the impact of the new point on the standard deviation? Do not just give a numerical value for the change. Explain in sentence form what happened to the standard deviation. (4 points)
B. Create a data set with 8 points in it that has a mean of approximately 10 and a standard deviation of approximately 1. Use the second chart to create a second data set with 8 points that has a mean of approximately 10 and a standard deviation of approximately 4. What did you do differently to create the data set with the larger standard deviation? (4 points)
2. Go back to the spreadsheet and clear the data values from Question 1 from the data column and then put values matching the following data set into the data column for the first graph. (8 points)
50, 50, 50, 50, 50.
Notice that the standard deviation is 0. Explain why the standard deviation for this one is zero. Do not show the calculation. Explain in words why the standard deviation is zero when all of the points are the same. If you don’t know why, try doing the calculation by hand to see what is happening. If that does not make it clear, try doing a little research on standard deviation and see what it is measuring and then look again at the data set for this question.
3. Go back to the spreadsheet one last time and put each of the following three data sets into one of the graphs. Record what the standard deviation is for each data set and answer the questions below.
Data set 1:
0, 0, 0, 100, 100, 100
Data set 2:
0, 20, 40, 60, 80, 100
Data set 3:
0, 40, 45, 55, 60, 100
Note that all three data sets have a median of 50. Notice how spread out the points are in each data set and compare this to the standard deviations for the data sets. Describe the relationship you see between the amount of spread and the size of the standard deviation and explain why this connection exists. Do not give your calcu ...

Week 1 Laboratory Assignment
In this lab we will investigate the use of direction fields to evaluate solutions to first order differential equations.
For this lab, we will study these qualitative analysis tools via the example of population growth using the Gompertz equation as a model. This equation is used to model the growth of tumor cells, and gives an expression of the dependence of tumor size on time.
The differential equation governing the growth is:
Here is the growth rate is a reflection of the carrying capacity of the tumor.
Let ; ; and V range from 0 to 100
1. Plot the graph of vs. . Note you may have to use the vectorization operator “.” to evaluate the function of the differential equation.
2. Determine the equilibrium points (by-hand or MATLAB) and plot them on the same graph as part (1) using red circles. Use a legend to indicate the equilibrium points and the original plot.
3. Using the gradient() function, plot the derivative of versus on the same plot. That is, plot vs. .
4. Determine the stability of each equilibrium point and the region of attraction. Write these answers as comments in your code. Comment on the stability as it related to the graph.
5. From this graph, are we able to tell how long the tumor will take to grow to units if the initial size is units? Why? Write your answers as comments in the code.
We will now use the direction field tool to examine the solution.
6. Download the file from the course website in the MATLAB Resources folder. You may have to right-click and save the file to your computer. IMPORTANT! Make sure it is in the current directory you are working in.
OR
Access the dfield tools at http://math.rice.edu/~dfield/dfpp.html
7. Using the same parameters as above, plot the direction field of this differential equation. Set the time and variable limits appropriately.
8. Compare your results from part (4) to the direction field obtained to check: the stability of each equilibrium point and the region of attraction. Include these as comments in your code.
9. Estimate how long it will take for if. Hint: You can go to: WINDOW DFIELD Keyboard Input to enter the initial conditions.
10. Repeat the direction field plot with and estimate again how long it takes for if . Comment on your results as they compare to part (9).

· Paragraph 3: You have two options for this paragraph:
1) Provide a real example, from an article or documented report (aircraft performance, incidents or accidents, for example), of the aviation impact of this physics concept.
2) Give us “your take” on the relevance and importance of this topic from your own perspective, by providing personal points of view or related experiences.
*Consider the following as good topic “starters” for discussion:
· What were your “Aha!” moments as you worked through the material?
· How does this module's content relate to your professional career? Personal life?
· How does this module's content relate to current events?
· Did you more deeply explore a topic only covered lightly in the course materials? What did you discover?
· What concepts (learning objectives) did you struggle with? What resources helped you overcome this hurdle?
NOTE: you may use one or more of the above (but not all) as primers to formulate your initial discussion post.

Topic
If it is helpful, you can divide your paper into different sections.
Watch the Documentary Manufacturing Consent Noam Chomsky and the Media. Here is the
link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBhBfa6gK60
What, according to Chomsky, is manufactured consent, and what role does the media play in
manufacturing it? Discuss with reference to two (or more, if you like) pieces of current news
media (either print media or image/video based.
What is intellectual self-defense? What are some of the ways we can foster our own intellectual
self-defense? You may find the article “The Importance of Intellectual Self-Defense” – found in
the Readings and Assignments area – helpful with this section of your paper.
In your paper, please briefly address why these issues are ethical in nature. Part 1 of Unit 1 will
be helpful here.
Secondary Sources
Please use ONE outside text source on Chomsky in this assignment (scholarly article either
online or from a journal in the library - text, interview, etc.) Please do not use Chomsky himself
– but another writer/theorist. This is to help you understand some of the concepts involved here,
and also to help you understand that Chomsky’s views are often challenged.
Writing Advice
1. Never underestimate the importance of structure. Consider preparing an
outline of your paper either before you write it or when you are in the process of revising
it. If you can't give a clear, step-by-step breakdown of what you're trying to accomplish in
the paper, it's probably not a very good paper. You should also remember the importance
of a good, clear introduction a.
Pick a large company you like. Find their Statement of Cash Flow.docxssuser562afc1
Pick a large company you like. Find their Statement of Cash Flows on their latest annual report, (not a summary, but the actual financial statement).
Describe the three sections of cash flows and what they involve.
For each section, tell us the total amount, if it is positive or negative, and analyze what each one tells you about the company.
Upon studying its statement of cash flows, what does this combination of cash flows suggest to you about the firm?
Is there any additional information that you would like to see to better understand this company? If so, what?

Paper #3: Chinese Philosophy
You may choose to write about either Confucianism (A) or Daoism (B).
(A) Confucianism: Kongzi (Confucius) or Mengzi (Mencius)
Choose a passage from one of the primary Confucian texts that we read: The Analects or
The Mengzi. Whatever you choose, you must confine your essay to one of our authors’
texts: either Confucius’ Analects or Mencius’ Mengzi. You may choose any passage you
like but you may only write within the context of one of the two thinkers.
and
Analyze and explain it as thoroughly and precisely as you can, staying close to the text
of the author you choose (using its terminology, following its reasoning, etc.). This point
is important: refer to, quote, paraphrase, and cite Confucius’ or Mencius’ text—his words, his
terms, his explanations, his examples, etc.—to aid your explanation of the idea. The closer you
stay to the text, the clearer your explanation will be.
(B) Daoism: Laozi or Zhuangzi
Choose a passage from one of the primary Daoist texts that we read: The Daodejing or
The Zhuangzi. Whatever you choose, you must confine your essay to one of our authors’
texts: either Laozi’s Daodejing or Zhuangzi’s Zhuangzi. You may choose any passage you
like but you may only write within the context of one of the two thinkers.
and
Analyze and explain it as thoroughly and precisely as you can, staying close to the text
of the author you choose (using its terminology, following its reasoning, etc.). This point
is important: refer to, quote, paraphrase, and cite Laozi’s or Zhuangzi’s text—his words, his
terms, his explanations, his examples, etc.—to aid your explanation of the idea. The closer you
stay to the text, the clearer your explanation will be.
Note on Daoism: Remember that these specific texts are notoriously opaque and
mysterious, and their purpose seems to be, quite explicitly in some cases, to effect an
experiential change in thinking on the part of the reader. So, if you choose this option, give
yourself time to let the text affect you and wash over you. It is common that the sense of
particular passages vacillates and shifts as one reads them again and again. So try—
without trying, of course (i.e., in a wu wei fashion)—to give yourself ample room to
maneuver within the text’s mysterious spaces, as Zhuangzi’s butcher’s blade
maneuver’s freely within the heavenly contours of the ox’s carcass.

In these papers, I want you to try to capture the essence of what you choose. You might
imagine that what you are trying to do is teach someone what passage means within the
context of Confucianism or Daoism.
I am looking for in-depth and detailed analysis/explanation.

Following contents are the plan in execution.[1] - Cycle Inventory
Advantages/Reasons for Theia Having a Cycle Inventory
· Average amount inventory used to satisfy demand between shipments → allows Theia to take advantage of economies of scale
· Allows Theia to minimize total inventory costs
· Theia should keep the cycle inventory as low as possible to save money on shipping and storage of inventory costs. → key aspect to maximize profit
· Facilitates the balance of supply and demand for Theia’s products by allowing SPC to satisfy customer demand based on forecasts
· Implementing optimal quantity of inventory to receive from suppliers per each shipment/order allows Theia to minimize holding cost of inventory and transportation cost
· Overall, having a cycle inventory will allow SPC to reduce costs, therefore maximizing their profits

Cycle inventory is the average inventory needed to meet customer demand between the order time and when the supply arrives.
Costs are part of the equation due to inventory storage expenses.
⇒ Therefore, we need to know the annual demand of our product as well as the material cost, shipping cost, and holding cost:
Demand (D) = Annual demand (obtained through forecasting) Year 4
2,504,131 Smart Glasses
Cost (C) = Price paid by the manufacturer to the supplier for 1 unit of supply
$300
Inventory holding cost (h%) = cost of holding $1 of inventory for 1 year.
0.1
Fixed Ordering Cost (S) = cost of placing the order and labor for receiving.
$3000
Lot Size (Q) = Number of units in 1 lot of shipment (quantity per shipment)
QL*= √
QL* = √
QL* =12920.6
The amount Theia should load onto each truck is about 12,920.6 Smart Glasses per shipment to minimize total cost based on forecasted demand for year 4. (Efficiency)

Phil 2101 Final PaperGuidelines Approximately 5 pages, doubl.docxssuser562afc1
Phil 2101: Final Paper
Guidelines: Approximately 5 pages, double spaced, 1” margins, 12 pt. font, to be submitted in hard copy at the time of the final exam.
In explaining each author’s respective arguments, you should use quotes from the text, to justify your attributions. However, no outside sources should be used.
No, bibliography is required, however, you should note in parentheses the page on which the quoted material is found (in either edition of the text).
Ex: Nagel claims that arguing that evil is only the absence of good will not help to dispel the problem, for “facts are not altered or abolished by rebaptizing them” (p. 91).
At least one page of the paper should be dedicated to your defense of the final question of each option.
Option 1: Are there rational grounds for belief in God despite the existence of evil? Critically
evaluate Nagel's argument for atheism against Swinburne's theodicy. Does Swinburne provide a sufficient response to the problem of evil in your view? Why or why not? Defend your answer.
Option 2: Are human beings free and responsible agents? Weigh the argument for hard
determinism (discussed by Ayer) against either Ayer or Frankfurt's soft determinist response and the libertarian argument posed by Taylor. Who has the best argument, in your view, and why? Defend your answer.
Option 3: Mill alleges that morally correct actions are those that result in the greatest happiness for all affected? Is this true? Consider the objections to utilitarianism raised by the problem cases in Williams's "Critique of Utilitarianism" and/or the so-called Trolley Problem. Are these real problems for the theory or does the Utilitarian get the answer right even in these difficult cases? Defend your answer.
NOTE: All papers submitted in hard copy are scanned and uploaded in .pdf format to TurnItIn for archiving and plagiarism detection purposes. It is your responsibility to review the university guidelines on plagiarism prior to submission. Plagiarism will result in an automatic F for the class and initiation of BC disciplinary proceedings. DON’T RISK IT!

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

Your exam could be marked with a range of possible grades,
simplified as on the following state diagram:
Acceptable
To begin with the chances are that you will pass with a standard
result. Each 45 minutes (the time allocated for each answer)
your grade could go up or down to a neighbouring grade or stay
put.
There is a chance that your Genius is so great that the examiner
cannot appreciate what you are saying and incorrectly marks it
as nonsense.
What is your grade most likely to be after the 3 hour exam?
[10 marks]

The Cannon Hill furniture Company produces tables and chairs.
Each table takes five hours of labor from the carpentry
department and three hours of labor from the finishing
department. Each chair requires three hours of carpentry and
two hours of finishing. During the current week, 230 hours of
carpentry time are available and 90 hours of finishing time.
Each table produced gives a profit of £85 and each chair a profit
of £55. How many chairs and tables should be made?

A very new European “Rapid Reaction Force for Fire” has been
created today and begins operation between three Countries
“A”, “B” and “C”. It’s main resource is a super aircraft
“Funderbird2” with a massive water cannon that even carries a
small mini-submarine for fighting fires at sea. Unfortunately, it
can only be in one Country at a time.
6. What is the matrix representation of this problem?
[5 marks]
The probabilities of going to a fire in another Country, given
that the force are in a given Country to begin with, are shown
on the sketch above (any resemblance to any particular Country
or Nation is purely coincidence and not intended). The
probabilities were obtained as a weekly average using statistics
for fires over many recorded weeks.
When will the plane take up permanent residence in one
Country? [15 marks]

Plagiarism
The use of work produced for another purpose by you, working
alone or with others, must be acknowledged.
Copying from the works of another person (including Internet
sources) constitutes plagiarism, which is an offence within the
University’s regulations. Brief quotations from the published or
unpublished works of another person, suitably attributed, are
acceptable. You must always use your own words except when
using properly referenced quotations.
You are advised when taking notes from books or other sources
to make notes in your own words, in a selective and critical
way.
General Criteria
In grading your work we will be assessing the extent to which it
matches the criteria attached. The criteria are not of equal
importance, but it is not possible to ascribe an exact weighting
to each. What follows is intended as a general guide to the
standards.
1. Severe weakness in understanding the
issues/arguments/theory is likely to result in a mark of less than
40%.
2. Thorough coverage of the relevant material, with statements
supported by data, evidence, literature or examples, is necessary
to gain 52% or above.
9. 3. Work which is disorganised with points randomly ordered is
unlikely to gain more than 48%.
4. A logical, well-explained argument, combined with other
good characteristics is usually necessary to obtain 75%.
5. Fluent grammatical expression is important for expressing
ideas clearly. Errors in this area are likely to lead to a reduction
in marks.
