What were the causes of the American Revolution? How did the British colonists evolve from good citizens to revolutionaries and back something as unique as the Declaration of Independence? Solution: After the French and Indian War, Britain needed money. Consequently, the British government placed heavy taxes on the American colonists. According to Washington and Army (2014), Britain thought that the colonists should help pay for the way owing to the fact that it had been fought partly t...

Learning is not like the weather; it does not "just happen" to you. You must be actively engaged in the learning process, devise strategies to maximize your learning, reflect on the strategies that worked and those that didn't, and modify these strategies moving forward. I want all of you to earn an A in this class! For this journal entry, I would like you to envision yourself having received an A at the end of the class. Imagine yourself looking back over the class and describe the strate...

Introduction Slavery will hone your abilities to search and compile a response to the prompts provided below by describing the dynamics of slavery. Although slavery had existed among African peoples prior to the European slave trade, the status of slaves in Africa was much different than that of slaves as a result of the trade. The condition of the latter took a different path from the start. The transition of this status in the colonies is illustrated through primary sources as seen with sev...

Explain how and why slavery developed in the American colonies. Why couldn’t colonists use indentured servants as they had in the past? How would you describe the differences between slaves and indentured servants? Solution: According to Keene and O'Donnell (2012), before slavery in the United States, there was indentured servitude. An indentured servant enters an agreement with their master to provide labor in exchange for the cost of their immigration and a place to live. In this view, t...

We rely heavily on statistics and statistical research in the health and helping professions. The outcomes from this work help us identify the best methods for helping and caring for clients and patients. Discuss at least two concepts from the course that you can use in your future career. Be sure to state the concept, how you would use it, and why that approach would be the best approach for the situation. Solution: Statistics is vital to nursing.  We learned in week 1 the definition of s...

How is the rejection region defined, and how is that related to the p value? When do you reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis? Why do you think statisticians are asked to complete hypothesis testing? Can you think of examples in courts, in medicine, or in your area? Solution: According to Farber and Larson (2015), the range of values for which the null hypothesis is not probable of a sampling distribution is a rejection region. The null hypothesis is a result of no substantial vari...

  Statistical Concepts: Data Simulation Confidence Intervals Normal Probabilities   Short Answer Writing Assignment   All answers should be complete sentences.   We need to find the confidence interval for the SLEEP variable.  To do this, we need to find the mean and then find the maximum error.  Then we can use a calculator to find the interval, (x – E, x + E).   First, find the mean.  Under that column, in cell E37, type =AVERAGE(E...

Consider the formula used for any confidence interval and the elements included in that formula. What happens to the confidence interval if you increase the confidence level, increase the sample size, or increase the margin of error? Only consider one of these changes at a time. Explain your answer with words and by referencing the formula. Solution: To begin if we consider the formula: X ±  Z s√n “Where: X is the mean, Z is the chosen Z-value from the table, s is the standar...

Assume that a population is normally distributed with a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15. Would it be unusual for the mean of a sample of 3 to be 115 or more? Why or why not? Solution: Mean u= 100 Standard deviations a= 15 Sample size n=3 Value X bar= 115   First, we need to find the standard deviation of the sample using formula S x=a/sqrt(n) S x=15/sqrt(3)   Now, we need to find z score of x bar, using formula Z= x bar - u/Sx Z=(115-100)/...
