Introduction. So, While Doing My Best To Effectively Research

In the article, Elaine Young talks about the concept of probability. This concept correlates to CCSS.Math.Content.7.SP.C.5 “Understand that the probability of a chance event is a number between 0 and 1 that expresses the likelihood of the event occurring. Larger numbers indicate greater likelihood. A probability near 0 indicates an unlikely event, a probability around 1/2 indicates an event that is neither unlikely nor likely, and a probability near 1 indicates a likely event.” In the article, a third grade teacher, Mrs. Alvarado, enforce this concept through literature arts. She read the book, Dear Mr. Blue, out loud then have a class discussion over the probability of a whale living in one of the character’s backyard pond. Afterwards, the teacher introduces the probability terms such as impossible, unlikely, equally, likely, unlikely, or certain. Another activity that enforces this standard is when the third grade teacher have students post appropriate vocabulary words on a line chart. CCSS.Math.Content.7.SP.C.6 “Approximate the probability of a chance event by collecting data on the chance process that produces it and observing its long-run relative frequency, and predict the approximate relative frequency given the

Law of definite proportion, sometimes called Proust’s law, states that a compound always has exactly the same proportion of elements by mass. This means that contents of a compound does not depend on its source or its method of preparation.

A case study is defined as “a report of case materials obtained while working with an individual, a group, a community, or an organization. Case Studies illustrate a problem; indicate a means for solving a problem; and/or shed light on needed research, clinical applications, or theoretical materials” (APA, 2010, p. 11). The goal of this paper is for me to conduct a case study on myself and explain what I have learned about research at an introductory level, and how I evaluate or critique it from a biblical, Christian perspective.

In the video "How Statistics Fool Juries," Oxford mathematician Peter Donnelly attempts to demonstrate through a number of examples how statistics, when viewed in a common manner, can be misunderstood and how this can have legal repercussions. Through a number of thought experiments, Donnelly provides the audience with examples of how seemingly simple statistics can be misinterpreted and how many more variables must be taken into account when calculating chance. Primarily he exposes the audience to the concept of relative difference, or the difference in likelihood between two possibilities in the same scenario. He then goes on to explain that without an understanding of this concept, many juries misunderstand statistics used in trials and very often convict people based on this faulty understanding.

Laws in general are thought up in order to maintain order in our society. Over time, it has

Madeline’s debt payments-to-income ratio with the college loan is 31.85 percent; without the college loan it is 14.07 percent. According to the 20 percent rule, she cannot afford the college loan. However, after Madeline pays off her credit card debts, her debt payments-to-income ratio with the college loan will be 17.5 percent. Therefore, once she pays off her credit cards, she will be able to afford the loan. [ANSWER: 19.48%]

The law of large numbers, according to Yakir (2011) is the principle of probability that defines the sampling distribution of the average or mean for large samples. The more the number of trials increases, the more the actual proportion of events converges on the hypothetical ratio of outcomes. (p. 115-116)

Boyle’s Law was published by Irish scientist Robert Byles who discovered the law from acquaintance Richard Towneley who discovered it from family friend Henry Powers who discovered that PV=k. Charles Law was discovered by Jacques Charles who discover that V/T =k and Avogadro's Law was discovered by Amedeo Avogadro who discovered that V/n=k. Finally, Joseph Louis Gay-Lussac published in 1808 that P/T=k. And as a result, these Laws were all able to be combined into a single unified equation,

The Gambling Experiment run by the University of Iowa was a fairly simple experiment. They placed four decks in front of a person, two of them were blue and two were red. They then asked people to pick cards from each deck one at a time. The card could either give the people money or penalize them by taking money away. Also the red decks had more penalties then earning while the blue decks were the other way around. They tested to see how long it would take for people to figure this out and it took about 50 cards for them to have a hunch about the pattern. After 80 cards most people were sure that the red decks were a minefield. The Iowa scientists also

The lady tasting tea takes the reader on a fascinating trip in the history of the statistical revolution. The contributions of many brilliant minds to the field of statistics as well as their personal lives and historical perspectives were described.

Throughout this course I have learned many things about research at an introductory level. Research is a critical part of all of our lives in many ways. God blesses each of us with a degree of common sense and we all learn from observing others even as babies, we learned behaviors and skills by observing our parents. Walking through experiences throughout life teach us a lot we need to know as well but sometimes we have to take a better approach when we need to learn about certain things. Many of us know that what works in some situations or with certain individuals doesn’t always work or is the safest option for another situation. Controlled and precisely organized study allows scientists to compare and examine contrasting methods and concepts, also helps them to discover various approaches and be able to learn from individual’s behaviors and experiences. I will act as the case study throughout this paper in order to observe what I have learned about.

One of the more commonly known patterns are number sequences, these types of patterns are numbers placed in a certain order where there is a relationship between each consecutive number. These patterns the result of the laws of the universe and exist regardless of human influence, they are agreed upon by most people and therefore can be said to exist. On the other hand, there are also patterns that are based on probability which are not as objective as number sequences. While it can be argued that probability patterns do exist within the universe, it can also be argued that they are only perceived to exist. This is especially prevalent in scientific and human experiments where they use mathematical formulas to justify whether there is a pattern between different things. While patterns are consistent, it does not necessarily mean that a pattern will always be correct, which raises questions like, “To what extent can we rely on uncertain knowledge?” and “How can knowledge ever be

It's a question that you must have asked yourself at one point in your life or another. Probably after pulling your head out of the toilet bowl, remembering the little rhyme about drinking wine on top of beer, and then feeling rather poorly again. You might have asked that question while standing naked in the pouring rain holding a coathanger in one hand and a rather large purple sex toy in the other, trying desperately to break into your own car while two policemen stroll up the street towards you. Perhaps you asked it while flushing the contents of your pockets and incinerating your hard drive, or after putting your life savings on "red 36," or while washing the urine out of your clown suit.

What I have learned about research is that it is a process, a scientific process that psychologist and scientist develop that includes many different approaches and that is carefully peer reviewed and evaluated. There is what is called the Scientific Approach where scientist have an idea or theory and based on their observation will either support the theory or the theory can be falsified by their peers. Data also goes through a review period before it is published in a scientific journal by scientist who have the knowledge and expertise to evaluate it.
