This document contains examples of descriptive and inferential statistics. Descriptive statistics include the population of Nome, Alaska in 2000 and the number of Oscar nominations received by Tom Cruise. These describe characteristics at single points in time. Inferential statistics involve the Centers for Disease Control report comparing weight changes over time and the expected graduate GPA for students based on undergraduate performance, allowing conclusions to be drawn beyond the immediate data.

Steven collected data from 20 cllege students on their emotional responses to classical music. Students listened to two 30-second segments from \"The Collection from the Best of Classical Music.\" After listening to a segment, the students rated it on a scale from 1 to 10, with 1 indicating that it \"made them very sad\" to 10 indicating that it \"made them very happy.\" Steve computes teh toal scores from each student and created a variable called \"hapsad.\" Steven then condutct a one-sample t-test on the data, know that there is an established mean for the publicication of others that have taken this test of 6. What is the null hypothesis and the hypothesis? Solution Expressiveness of music %u2013 philosophical problems[edit source | editbeta] Claiming that music is expressive of emotions and that it can elicit emotions in the listener does not seem highly disputable at first glance. However, this claim gives rise to a number of questions. How can a piece of music (when we consider purely instrumental music without any vocals, text or title) appear emotional, as a piece of music is no psychological agent? Why would we respond emotionally to music knowing that there is nobody undergoing the emotion expressed? What are psychological mechanisms that lead to the emotional reaction in the listener? What is the nature of these emotions? The first question deals with how emotions are transported in the music, questions 2-4 with emotions in the listener. (Not mentioned here are emotions in the composer or the performer.) However, perceiving a piece of music as to be emotional and being moved by this emotion mostly go in hand. We don%u2019t find it hard to explain why and how we respond emotionally to something expressing an emotion, e.g. a person expressing joy or sadness (or indirectly to an event like an earthquake that affects people as to express an emotion, which ends up being the same). A stone rarely moves us to tears, so why would music do that? Thus, the core of this problem is the question how music can be expressive at all. The field of aesthetics examine this problem. Appearance emotionalism[edit source | editbeta] Two of the most influential philosophers in the aesthetics of music are Stephen Davies and Jerrold Levinson.[1] Without going into the depths of the philosophical argument, this view mainly follows Davies%u2019[2] position. He terms his concept the expressiveness of emotions in music appearance emotionalism. Appearance emotionalism holds that music is for example sad in the same way the posture of a person is sad or a weeping willow is sad. A piece of music is not sad because it feels sadness, but because it expresses sadness, it is sad in appearance. Why does something (that is not a person) appear sad? Because we can identify in its structure certain characteristics that we know from a person%u2019s expression of sadness. We would sometimes call an old hunchbacked lady sad (although we don%u2019t doubt that she might feel .

state using exponents.The product of 17 factors of z? Solution it could be simply z = n17 that is assuming all the factors are the same which is the only way to use powers. n is the number that when multiplied by itself 17 times will give you z. example: if z were 131072, then you would have 217 = 131072. since we don\'t know what z is, we use a variable, n, for the base instead of the 2 i used in my example. your answer is n17.

Statues of men during this period can be divided between those that are idealizing and those that are realistic. The realistic ones, likely derived from Hellenistic traditions, were identified how? Solution Hellenism replaced the serene beauty of classicism with a more emotional type of sculpture, which also included an intense realism. In this new era of expressionism, statues exuded energy and power, thefore status of this period were identified derived from Hellenistics because it was on that era that the emotions started to be sculture. The Hellenistic marks the transformation of Greek society from the localized and introverted city-states to an open, cosmopolitan, and at times exuberant culture that permeated the entire eastern Mediterranean, and Southwest Asia This refers the change that we have today from the traditional culture to be open mind and have cosmolopitan cultures in our major cities around the word Source: http://www.visual-arts-cork.com/antiquity/greek-sculpture.htm http://ancient-greece.org/history/helleninstic.html.

Statements about the flexibility, cost and riskiness of short-term versus long term debt depend to a large extent on the type of short-term financing that is actually used. Three major types of short-term financing--accruals, accounts payable and bank loans are used extensively. Explain how each of the three types are used for short term financing. Solution I fully endorse the statement that the fexibility, cost and riskiness of short-term debts have an impact on the determination of various financial instruments. Generally Long-term financing is meant for assets and projects whereas Short-term financing is primarily meant for continuation of operations. In other words long-term finacing includes equity issued, corporate bonds, capital notes etc.,short-term financing includes commercial papers, promissory notes, asset-based loans, accruals, accounts payable, bank loans, repurchase agreements, letters of credit etc.. The term Accruals are adjustments either for revenues that have been earned butare not yet recorded in the accounts or for expenses that have been incurred but are yet to be recorded in the accounts. Accruals on the balance sheet represents liabilities and non-cash based assets used in accural-based accounting. Accounts payable is money owed by an organization to its suppliers and is shown as a liability on the balance sheet. In other words Accounts payable is an accounting entry that represents an obligation to pay off a short-term debt to its creditors. It is recorded on the balance sheet as current liability. Bank loans are mostly considered to be best source for short-term financing on account of flexibility with low cost..

State your opinion whether your are Federalist or Anit-federalist whether you agree or disagree with a persuasive opposing stance of your opinion for a newspaper or a political speech to the union address? Must describe the differences between them with at least 3 paragraphs with a strong conclusion. Solution In favor of Federalism: 1.Fear of a tyrannical national government was a motivating factor behind federalism, separation of powers, and the Bill of Rights. By reserving certain powers to the states, the framers believed oppressive government would be less likely to occur. 2.Maintaining autonomous state governments also provides a training ground for national leadership and assures that when a political party loses elections at the national level it will retain bases of operation at the state level. 3.Increase citizen participation and government responsiveness by keeping government closer to the people. State governments are in a better position to handle many policy concerns because elected officials at the state level are more likely to be familiar with regional issues and local conditions than federal officials. 4.Federalism also promotes policy innovation. The Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis described the fifty states as \"laboratories of democracy.\" States, as well as the national government, can learn from each other\'s successes and failures. Contrasting policies implicating such diverse issues as taxation, same-sex marriage, medical use of marijuana, environmental quality, and physician-assisted suicide reflect an intensity of experimentation that is much less likely to happen in a unitary system. 5.If an individual doesn.
