SYNOPSIS IN THE FORM OF A MEMORANDUM

 

2. WRITE A SYNOPSIS IN THE FORM OF A MEMORANDUM: After watching the video, you must summarize your thoughts in a brief memorandum, which should be addressed to the professor teaching your course. Memorandums (memos) are a common form of business communication found in all criminal justice workplaces. This exercise is intended to help familiarize you with the basic structure and expectations when writing a memo. For this assignment, use the memo template.

The body of the memo should be typed in Times New Roman, black, size 12 font and the margins should not be adjusted from the settings in the template. The body of the memo should provide your synopsis (200 words or more), which must address the following points:
* What did you think about the information in the video?
* How does it inform your career thinking and decision making?
* What insights given by the interviewee were most influential to your thinking? Why?

 

Sample Solution

participant must guess better than 1 out of 5. For this experiment to give more concrete evidence of clairvoyance a large sample size for the participant to guess from would be necessary as this would create a larger difference between chance and clairvoyance making the data much more concise. There was also a sort of “learning curve” with the participants whenever the testing setup was changed. When first trying the new testing setup the participant would perform very poorly, improving over time until plateauing just over chance probability. This improvement over time shows that there may have been something about how they were being tested that can be learned or practiced knowing how to “guess” better, but only to a certain extent. If it were truly down to clairvoyance, then the results should be the same regardless of how the test were administered. Another flaw with how the tests were administered is how many trials were performed. While a few thousand tests may seem like a lot, a few years later another set of tests were performed with a much larger sample size of over 100,000.
Samuel Soal aimed to perform similar tests to the ones performed by J.B. Rhine as addressed in the previous paragraph. In the 1930s, he tried his best to replicate the results that were achieved with little success. He used the same set of 25 Zener cards and had 160 subjects perform the tests over several years. In the end he had recorded 128,350 guesses. The average that the card was guessed correctly was between 5 and 5.001, what was to be expected purely by chance. This sample size dwarfed that of Rhine and showed results that were in line with the expectations of our understanding of probability. Soal’s results completely disproved the results that Rhine had collected and published, and he was known in the scientific community as being one of Rhine’s biggest critics. How
