The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

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.
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2. CHAPTER 3: SUMMARY MEASURES
INTRODUCTION
Although a frequency distribution table is certainly useful in providing a general idea
about how data are distributed between two extreme values, it is usually desirable to
further summarize the important characteristics of the univariate data sets.
These summary measures falls under four categories: measure of central tendency,
measures of variability, measures of position, measures of skewness and kurtosis.
Summary measures are useful for exploratory analysis of a data set as well as for the
reporting of final results of a study.
4. CHAPTER 3: SUMMARY MEASURES
I. MEASURES OF CENTRAL TENDENCY
A single value about which the set of
observations tend to cluster. The
measures of position provide precise,
objectively determined value that can
easily be manipulated, interpreted
and compared with one another than
do the general impression conveyed
by tabular and graphical summaries.

5. MEASURES OF CENTRAL TENDENCY
A. The Arithmetic Mean
The arithmetic mean or simply the mean, denoted by 𝜇, is defined as the sum of all
observations divided by the total number of observations. In symbols, if we let 𝑿𝒊 be
the value of the ith observation and N the number of observations, then the mean is
computed as
𝜇 =
σ𝑖=1
𝑁
𝑋𝑖
𝑁
Where: i = 1,2,…N
𝑋𝑖 = 𝑜𝑏𝑠𝑒𝑟𝑣𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑚𝑎𝑑𝑒 𝑜𝑛 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑖𝑡ℎ 𝑖𝑛𝑑𝑖𝑣𝑖𝑑𝑢𝑎𝑙
Ungrouped data
6. MEASURES OF CENTRAL TENDENCY
The Arithmetic Mean
Example: Consider the scores of 10 college students in their midterm exam as
ungrouped data: 89, 90, 85, 80, 95, 88, 86, 90, 87, 90, then the mean
(𝜇) is computed as follows,
𝜇 =
σ𝑖=1
𝑁
𝑋𝑖
𝑁
=
89 + 90 + ⋯ + 90
10
= 88
** 88 is the mean score of the 10 college students
7. MEASURES OF CENTRAL TENDENCY
The Arithmetic Mean
Computation for Grouped Data
The arithmetic mean of the grouped data (frequency distribution) is
computed using the formula,
𝜇 =
σ𝑖=1
𝑘
𝑓𝑖𝑋𝑖
σ𝑖=1
𝑘
𝑓𝑖
Where: i = 1, 2, …, k
k = number of categories or classes
𝑋𝑖 = class midpoint of the ith category
𝑓𝑖 = frequency of the ith category
8. MEASURES OF CENTRAL TENDENCY

Example. Consider the data on the midterm scores of 30 students, then the mean is
computed as follows
CI 𝒇𝒊 CM (𝑿𝒊) 𝒇𝒊𝑿𝒊
40-50 4 45 180
51-61 3 56 168

2197
30
= 73.23 (average midterm score of 30 students)
9. MEASURES OF CENTRAL TENDENCY
Properties of the Mean
1. The sum of the deviations of the observations from the mean is always equal to
zero, i.e.
𝑖=1
𝑁
(𝑋𝑖 − 𝜇) = 0
2. The sum of the squared deviations of the observations from the mean is the
smallest, i.e.
𝑖=1
𝑁
(𝑋𝑖 − 𝜇)2 = 𝑠𝑚𝑎𝑙𝑙𝑒𝑠𝑡
3. The mean reflect the magnitude of every observation, since every observation
contributes to the value of the mean
10. MEASURES OF CENTRAL TENDENCY
Properties of the Mean
4. It is easily affected by the presence of extreme values, and hence not a good
measure of central tendency when extreme observations do occur
5. Means of subgroups may be combined when properly weighted. Combined mean is
called the weighted arithmetic mean
11. MEASURES OF CENTRAL TENDENCY
The Median
The median, denoted by 𝑀𝑑, is a single value which divides an array of
observations into two equal parts such as that fifty percent of the observation fall
below it and fifty percent fall above it. An array is usually set a set of observations
arranged in an increasing magnitude. T he median is computed using the formula for
both the ungrouped and grouped data:

Thus, half of the 30 students got scores lower than 75.25
and the other half got scores higher than 75.25 or the
median score of the 30 students is 75.25
16. MEASURES OF CENTRAL TENDENCY
Properties of Median
1. It is a propositional value and hence is not affected by the presence of extreme values unlike the
mean
2. The sum of the absolute deviations from a point, say, a, is smallest when a is equal to the median, i.e.
𝑖=1
𝑁
𝑋𝑖 − 𝑀𝑑 𝑖𝑠 𝑚𝑖𝑛𝑖𝑚𝑢𝑚
For grouped data
𝑖=1
𝑘
𝑓𝑖 𝑋𝑖 − 𝑀𝑑𝐺 𝑖𝑠 𝑚𝑖𝑛𝑖𝑚𝑢𝑚
3. The median is not suitable to further computations and hence medians of subgroups cannot be
combined in the same manner as the mean
4. The median of grouped data can be calculated even with open-ended intervals provided the median
class is not open-ended
17. MEASURES OF CENTRAL TENDENCY
The Mode
The mode, denoted by Mo, is the value which occurs the most frequently in the given
data set .
Example 1: Given the set of observations arranged in an increasing magnitude: 80,
85, 86, 87, 88, 89, 90, 90, 90, 95, then the median is computed as:
𝑀𝑜 = 90
Example 2: The values 50, 55, 70, 76, 79 has no mode because there is no value that
occurred more than once
𝑀𝑜 = 𝑑𝑜 𝑛𝑜𝑡 𝑒𝑥𝑖𝑠𝑡
18. MEASURES OF CENTRAL TENDENCY
The Mode
Computation for grouped data
The mode of the grouped data is
computed as:
𝑀𝑜 = 𝐿𝑚𝑜 + 𝑐 (
𝑓𝑚𝑜 − 𝑓𝑏
2𝑓𝑚𝑜 − 𝑓𝑏 − 𝑓𝑎
)
Where:
𝐿𝑚𝑜 = lower TCB of the modal class, where the modal
class is a class with the highest frequency
C = class size
𝑓𝑚𝑜 = frequency of the modal class
𝑓𝑏 = frequency of the class immediately preceding the
modal class
𝑓𝑎 = frequency of the class immediately following the
modal class
19. MEASURES OF CENTRAL TENDENCY

Where:
𝐿𝑚𝑜 = lower TCB of the modal class, where the modal

Thus, most of the 30 students got modal score close to 79.83
21. MEASURES OF CENTRAL TENDENCY
Properties of the Mode
1. The mode is determined by the frequency and not by the values of the observations
2. It cannot be manipulated algebraically and hence modes of subgroups cannot be
combined
3. The mode can be defined with qualitative or quantitative variables
4. The mode is very much affected by the method of grouping data
5. It can be computed with open-ended intervals provided the modal class is not open-
ended

52. Measure of Skewness and Kurtosis
Measure of Kurtosis
Flatness or peakedness of any distribution in relation to another distribution.
Three types of kurtosis may be observed:
Leptokurtic : means that the data are very similar (homogenous)
Platykurtic: means that data are very different (heterogenous)
If one distribution is more peaked than the other, it is leptokurtic (K>3). If less
peaked, it is said to be platykurtic (K<3)
Mesokurtic: falls between leptokurtic and platykurtic
