“If it has ‘science’ in its name, it ain’t (Minnick).” Those words were said to this writer by the smartest person he ever knew personally, a man with PhDs in Mathematics and Physics, a true scientist. He went on to explain that science, if it is science, can be reduced to mathematics and then can predict. “Science can generate electricity or flatten cities,” he said. The problem, of course, is that whenever one deals with the “soft sciences,” political science or economics (the dismal science) or sociology or history or any of the disciplines that are housed in ...

Coe, (2016) in her article looks how four children are risk taking and how they deal with risk at an early year’s program that is nature located in Canada Ontario. Her research work is pegged on the inherent drive and natural curiosity in children to explore their immediate surroundings. Furthermore, the scarcity of information on risk and nature based learning in Canada forms the basis of this study. However, the major undoing of the research work is that the small number of study participants in the conducted study together with the sampling methodology used predisposes the study to ...

The above section was crystal clear to me. With a population with sample means x̅1, x̅2, x̅3, x̅4, x̅5, and, x̅ for example, the sampling distribution involves all the averages. It follows that the sampling distribution of the sample means would give the average of the entire population. Moreover, the standard deviation of the sample means is the same as the standard deviation of the population divided by the square root of the sample size (n). And this value is the standard error of the mean. However, the topic of finding probabilities was clear ...

The use of breath analysis to determine the state of a person’s health is a concept that dates back millennia (Gouma 26). Cardiovascular disease is an ailment for which current analysis methods involve invasive sampling. It has been suggested that the amount of cholesterol in blood can be measured by the amount of isoprene (Karl et al. 762) or carbon dioxide (Amann 34) in the breath. One of the early methods to detect isoprene in breath is based on proton transfer reaction mass spectrometry (PTR-MS) (Karl et al. 762-763). In this technique, the breath sample is made to ...

Are Parisians really rude or arrogant or is this another stereotype?

Introduction One of the critical issues that affect the study of human behavior is the way different people understand the responses given and give an accurate report on their findings. Various individuals have engaged in numerous anthropological and ethnographic researches in attempts to understand why some communities behave in certain ways. A widely held serotype is that Parisians are rude and arrogant and they often show a significant level of dislike to non-Parisians. However, this can be treated as individual’s perception, and researchers would want to confirm whether such stereotype is true. Some individuals tend to place judgment ...

What does the margin of error tell us about a sample taken from a large population? How does the confidence level for a sample outcome differ from the sample’s margin of error? The margin of error is a numerical value that expresses or estimates the likelihood of error in an experiment’s results. Thus, it can somehow account for the statistical significance of a result. If it is smaller, then the likelihood of error is also small, making the results more credible. Smaller sample sizes from a large population generally have a larger margin of error while larger ...

If a fuel mixture can be represented by the general formula CxH2x, prove that the stoichiometric gravimetric air/fuel ratio is 14.8:1.

The combustion reaction for a given fuel mixture will look as follows:

CxH2x + 1.5x(O2 + 3.76N2) → xCO2 + xH2O + 1.5x*3.76N2 The molar ratio is 1.5x:1, to find the gravimetric ratio, the masses of the air and fuel should be found. This can be done by multiplying molar ratio with molar weights of the fuel and air. m(fuel) = 12*x + 2x*1 = 14x m(air) = 1.5x(16*2 + 3.76*14*2) = 1.5x*137.28 = 205.92x The gravimetric stoichiometric air/fuel ratio then is 205.92x:14x = 14.71:1 The dry exhaust gas analysis from an ...
