Probability distribution

With a per capita GDP of $52,194, the United States is one of the wealthiest nations on the planet (United States GDP Per Capita). However, despite its wealth, the U.S. suffers from glaring economic and social inequality. While the fact that there is immense inequality is overwhelmingly agreed upon, the reasons behind this inequality have been the source of widespread debate. Author and professor, Edward Royce, explores some of the most prominent theories of inequality in his book Poverty and…

Utilizing the information from the table above the mean, median and standard deviation will be calculated. The mean equals the average of the sample by adding all the values of the samples and then dividing by the total number of items. The mean for the samples collected is 14.87 ounces which rounded up 14.9 ounces. The median is calculated to be 14.8 ounces. The median is calculated by averaging the data in order and finding the midway point of the data set. Last to find is to find the…

Carnegie decided to contribute in the law of distribution of wealth. Carnegie argued that industrialists and wealthy persons should spend their lives modestly and must utilize their fortunes to improve the living of other citizens. Carnegie shares his experiences, and Carnegie said that the unequal distribution of wealth causes economic and social issues. Proper administration of wealth can create harmony and brotherhood among rich and poor. It is easy to see the change, and illustrating one…

Profiles in Courage Justin Kanski Rahway High School Mr. John Odin Acts of Political Courage Political courage means taking a position in order to safeguard a certain principle thought to be of a particular interest to the person or a group of people.

The 1920s were a time of extreme inequality in wealth distribution as a select few achieved the American Dream, with great wealth, while the majority of people maintained working class status, suffering from wealth control in the top one percent. F. Scott Fitzgerald’s, The Great Gatsby gives insight into the lives of the select few, as it follows wealthy characters from lavish parties to expensive restaurants in New York City; the wealth and frivolity of the 1920s upper class fills the novel. In…

Ryan- Hello and welcome to X+Y math news at 9:30!!!! Our top story - during a fight, 5 and 6 divided. The whole problem is negative 5/6k=12. to help find what k= our mathematicians have done the following steps. To solve this problem first they found the multiplicative inverse of -⅚ which is -6/5. next they changed 12 into a fraction which is 12/1 then finally they along with cross cancel. Finally they found the answer which is k=-72/5!!!!! As well as another problem has showed up in…

Wealth inequality is a big parts of Americans lives, the problem is that most of us are oblivious to just how large the margin actually is. The United States has the highest degree of wealth inequality among all industrialized countries: On the Gini coefficient index of wealth equality, the United States ranks 93rd out of 134 countries (Central Intelligence Agency, 2009). We see this in policy when it comes to taxation and redistribution. In an ideal situation, the rich would be taxed at the…

Joseph Stiglitz in his extract concurs that the environment is being stained and the people that are being effected the most are the ones who are underprivileged. He further justifies his idea by giving examples of two industrial tycoons in the world; China and the United States (US). Both, he claims, race against each other on carbon emissions but China has won, although the US contributed more to this issue by almost more than a quarter carbon emissions since 1750. He adds on a global scale…

Let’s say that we have calculated effectiveness (assuming PD=0,8; PA=0,9; PI=0,6; PN=0,4) and it equals to 0,8 x 0,9 x 0,6 x 0,4 =0,1728. Remember, the conditional risk formula? Assuming again, that probability of attack and relative consequences both equal 1,0, conditional risk R= 1,0 x (1 – 0,1728) x 1,0 = 0,8272 ( or we can say that the risk equals 83% if rounded). Is it a lot? It depends on conversion table we will use to present numerical value as adjectival. And what it is mean? For…

In the world there are many labeled groups of people, normal should not be one of them. Unfortunately, cultures still strive to create a “normal”, which can affect how we feel about our minds, our bodies, what we own, and other people around us. That can also tie into how psychology and culture are too reliant on society to define the word normal. In this case, the “emotional and behavioral characteristics of an individual, group, or activity” not the “science that deals with mental processes…
