You have been assigned a topic according to the first letter of your last name. Please identify the topic assigned to you below. For each topic, find a health science example of it in a published research study or news article. Summarize how your topic is used in the example. Do you think a different data type would be better? (Please note: You may wish to use the Library to find your example for this Discussion Board. A librarian is available should you need assistance.)

Although not required, it is recommended that you plan your reply posts so that you reply to topics that you did not cover within your main post.

(for last names beginning with A–H): Identify a phenomenon with a lot of variation. Is variation related to variance—if so, how? How is variance related to the standard deviation?

Standard deviation is a number that is used to show how numbers in a group are spread out compared to the average. So, if most of the numbers are close the the average the STD is low but if the numbers are farther away from the data it means that the STD is high. Standard deviation can be used in decision making when trying to see how far the data set steers from the average. It can help make more informed decisions also. One example of why knowing the spread in a data set would be important could be when buying a house. If you are looking for a 3 bed 2 bath house in a particular area it is important to know the average that houses sell for there. Then, knowing the spread of the data for houses you are looking at can help you decide if the house you are looking at is above or below the average price. This can be important to be sure you are getting a good value thus helping you make a more informed decision on the house you are going to buy.

 

 

 

 

 

Sample Solution

et-up, explanation of theme, and thesis?

Since the Colonial Era, America had welcomed German immigrants and admired their work ethic and successes. However, a wave of anti-German sentiment broke out in 1917, resulting in strong negative feeling toward German and German-Americans. American perceptions of Germany became even worse in the years when American joined the World War in 1914. During the early years of the war, America found it difficult to remain neutral because of the sinking of Lusitania. President Wilson and his administration urged the start of the Committee on Public information to promote the war effort. EXPAND

As the CPI released many posters and cartoons, the society took on an anti-German-American environment. News articles began to attack German-American communities and their culture: churches, schools, societies, and even the German language. As a result, the freedom of speech and other civil liberties were held in a lesser regard. Congress passed the Espionage Act, which arrested those who advocated “treason, insurrection, or forcible resistance to any law of the United States.” Then the Sedition Act was passed, restricting limitations on the rights of free speech and free press by making it illegal to publish anything that would undermine the government. Soon, such advocation of anti-German sentiments and suppression of those that spoke out against it affected more than the political atmosphere of the war, but the entirety of America as well.
