Essays on Digits

Benford's law also known as the first-digit law deals with the distribution of natural numbers in which it tends to major into their importance regarding significance. The law states that given any arrangement of natural numbers, the smallest number always seems to be the most significant while the largest number in the collection is always the least significant. Therefore, number 1 appears to be the most significant in any given combination of natural numbers 30% of the times. While on the other hand, number 9 appears only 5% of the times as the most significant number. The law states ...

1) Theories are to concepts as hypotheses are to variables. Hypotheses depend on tests that suggest multiple variables. On the other hand, theories are made up of concepts ("Theory and Practice of Social Research" 4). 2) Does a hypothesis propose a relationship between dimensions or variables? Yes. A hypothesis depends on the link that exists between two or several variables. Whereby, a slight change in variable ‘A,' leads to a change in variable ‘B.' In this case, it can be almost predictable that if the first event occurs on the first variable, then we expect variable ‘B' to ...

Memory is a fascinating aspect of psychology that has attracted the interest of scientists for several decades. One of the most-studied aspect of memory is short-term recall. For example, short-term recall could involve a sequence of digits, letters, or words that require a listener to both memorize for a short period of time. Two well-studied aspects of short-term memory recall are digit span and chunking. Defined simply, digit span is the number of digits in a sequence of numbers or letters that a listener can immediately recall in the correct sequence, or order, without making a mistake. When given ...

Introduction

Even though the concept of evolution is a typical narrative, it remains one of the most highly contentious of the topics. Major disagreements persist in the field, particularly when the evolutionary origin and physical modification of primates are the subject matter of discussion. Because of these differences, lots of significant finds in the field have attracted considerable amounts of opposition from experts depending on the species, or the side angle of evolution one recognizes (Ravosa and Dagosto). Disputes often center around locomotion and posture – whether a particular species was fully upright or could walk bipedally, brain size (intelligence), sexuality ...

1. Draw an ERD for the Parrot Palace information system. 2. Indicate cardinality. The objective is to create an ERD that will help to represent the relationship between the birds and tricks. In order to accomplish this, it is important to use the associative entity that has the data about a specific bird and the specific trick. Since there are 50 birds and 20 tricks, the table will have hundreds of records. The key would be to use a combination of the number of birds and the number of tricks. The additional associative entity will also need to be ...

Finger clubbing is an important medical condition associated with various diseases. Several studies and researches have stated that it is most commonly seen and described as the condition where there is an evident enlargement of the fingers specifically the terminal segments of the digits (fingers or toes). This condition exists due to the production or overproliferation of the connective tissues in the middle of the matrix of the nail and the distal phalanx (Myers & Farquhar, 2001, pp. 341). The pathophysiology of finger clubbing has been studied by numerous scientists and health experts through the years. However, the formulation of ...

Abstract

This study sought to investigate the fact that there is greater likelihood of one to falter in detecting the second target T2 after he has detected the first target T1. There had been concerns that participants in previous studies had problems in detecting the second target after 200 ms -500 ms from the first target. The researcher employed a 2 ×6 experimental design; it involved a randomized sample of 49 university students. Using web experiment software, Interactive Sensation Laboratory Exercise (ISLE), the researcher had students identifying letter S as the first target and letter T as the second target ...
