...that attain CR or better grades, 60% of them attended both lectures and tutorials. Among the students that attain PASS or FAILURE, only 20% of them attended both lectures and tutorials. Not attending both lectures and tutorials and with self-study, a student feels that the chance of attaining CR or better grades is quite low, 10%. The student is willing to attend both lectures and tutorials only if the efforts would increase the probability of achieving CR or better grades to 20% or more. Please use the following notations for the various states: C = CR or better grades CC = PASS or FAILURE L = Attend both lectures and tutorials LC = Do not attend both lectures and tutorials Required Should the student attend both lectures and tutorials? Please justify your answer with the posterior probability (prior probabilities are revised after the decision to attend both lectures and tutorials). The prior probability (probabilities determined prior to the decision of attending both lectures and tutorials) of attaining CR or better grades is P(C) = 0.1 P(CC) = 0.9 Complement rule Conditional probabilities are P(L(C) = 0.6 (for a student that have achieved a CR or better grade, the probability of attending both lectures and tutorials is 0.6) P(L(CC) = 0.2 Applying complement rule, the following conditional probabilities are P(LC(C) = 1 - 0.6 = 0.4 (for a student that have achieved a CR or better...

...Management Accounting and Control Lecture 4: Cost system refinement: Activity‐based costing; Process Costing Reading: Horngren Chapter 7 (Ch 5 in 14th edition); and Ch 8 to p 276 and pp281‐283 (Ch 17 14th edition) Note: the FIFO method will not be examined in this course and nor will Hybrid (Operation) Costing , therefore you do not need to read the pages that relate to these topics. 1 Salters Pty Ltd, a specialised equipment manufacturer, uses a job order costing system. The overhead is allocated to jobs on the basis of direct labour hours. The overhead rate is now $2,000 per direct labour hour. The design engineer thinks this is illogical and has stated the following: “Our accounting system doesn’t make any sense to me. It tells me that every labour hour carries additional overhead of $2,000. This means that direct labour makes up only 5% of our total product cost, yet it drives all our costs. In addition, these rates give my design engineers incentives to ‘design out’ direct labour by using machine technology. Yet over the past years as we have had less and less direct labour, the overhead rate keeps going up and up. I won’t be surprised if next year the rate is $2,500 per direct labour hour. I’m also concerned because small errors in our estimates of the direct labour content of a job can have a large impact on our estimated costs. Just a 30 minute error in our estimate of assembly time is worth $1,000. Small mistakes in our direct labour time estimates can really swing our bids ...

Bernido and l\faria Victoria Carpio-.Rernido Research Center for Theoretical Physics Central Visayan Institute Foundation Jagna, Bohol 6308, Philippines The Ascending Levels of Learning and Pedagogical ~1axims that could guide effective teaching of physics are presented. As an example of how these may be applied, the Dynamic Learning Prof:,lfam (DLP) of the Central Visayan Institute Foundation is briefly discussed. The DLP, together with 21st century technology, provides a scenario where the perennial lack of high school physics teachers in the Philippines can be bypassed. Introduction The breadth of topics that may be covered in teaching physics can be extremely wide. After all, physics probes the smallest things in the universe (the quarks and leptons), aiJ the way up to the "biggest" subject one can think of-the birth, death, and fate of the universe itself. One definition for physics states that it is the study of matter and energy. Most everything in the universe is either matter or energy, and this can make physics quite interdisciplinary. No wonder, therefore, that sub-areas in physics may be referred to as Biophysics, Geophysics~ Chemical Physics, Mathematical Physics, Astrophysics, Nuclear Physics, Econophysics, etc., and one also has the physics of sports, the physics of art, and so on. Because of its breadth, there is always...

The first reference to the Godhead being comprised of more than one is Gen. 1:26 where the plural ‘us’ is used; thereafter it is used multiple times. The triune nature of God reveals the foundation of his image being created in humanity with relational...

...2012 Walking Game Culture A research conducted by: Mary Jane Francisco of L86 To be submitted to: Ms. Christina Rodriguez I. Introduction In modern times such as today, it is not unusual for people (of any age) to be seen with an electronic gaming device/game consoles such as cell phones, PSPs, computers, PlayStations etc. Humans over the years have been so inventive of ways to preoccupy themselves to avoid dull and null moments; thus the creation of video games. Kramer (2002) summarizes that these games are “objects which consist of components and rules and have certain criteria: rules, a goal, always changing course; chance; competition; common experience; equality; freedom; activity; diving into the world of the game; and no impact on reality”. “THE ORIGIN OF GAMES has been vaguely assigned to the inborn tendency of the mankind to amuse itself. Games have no geographical boundaries and game playing is found in all parts of the world whether it is in the underdeveloped areas of Africa or in a plush New York apartment penthouse.“(Spencer 1968, 3) According to researchers from Stanford school of medicine, a recent brain imaging study suggests that men have a higher percentage of activity in the *Mesocorticolimbic center (the region of the brain associated with rewards and addiction) compared to women when engaging in video games. These findings explain why males are more likely to be addicted to video games in comparison to female gamers....

I was able to watch him drain a patient’s chest tube. The man has two chest tubes to drain fluid that accumulates in his lungs. The nurse had me take his vitals and it was shocking for me to discover that his respiratory rate was 44 breaths per minute. This patient was certainly far more complicated than others in long term care. I was able to compare the patient’s current condition both before and after draining his chest tube. The nurse drained 1000 CC of fluid and the patient lost nearly 2.5 from this. Additionally his respiratory rate went down and his breath sounds improved. This...

...Lab Report 1: Pipettes and Std Curve Ingrid Simons University of Texas at El Paso June 12, 2014 Introduction: Procedures that require very small volumes of DNA and reagents are performed with instruments such as, micropipettes and pipettes. These instruments are used when scientists need to accurately and precisely deliver small volumes of a liquid. Molecular biologists use very small volumes of liquid at times they are as small as 0.1 µL, in order to do these measurements the use micropipettes. The function of the micropipettes is to act as a plunger when the depressed by the thumb and by its release liquid is drawn into a disposable plastic tip. The liquid is released when the plunger is pressed again (The University of QueensLand). The tip is an important part of the micropipette, each tip is disposable and come in different sizes depending of the micropipette being used. There is three standard micropipettes, the P20 which measures 0.5-20μL, P200 that measures 20-200 μL, and P1000 that measures 100 μL to 1 mL. An important part of this laboratory was learning how to read the meniscus curve. A meniscus is a curve that is formed at the surface of a molecular substance, such as water, when it touches another material (USGS). Meniscus is caused by adhesion, a result of water’s high surface tension. The glass beaker attracts water molecules, and water molecules stay together, as a result many molecules gather to touch the glass. They will accumulate along the...
