...dsStatistics is the study of the collection, organization, analysis, interpretation and presentation of data.[1][2] It deals with all aspects of data, including the planning of data collection in terms of the design of surveys and experiments.[1] The word statistics, when referring to the scientific discipline, is singular, as in "Statistics is an art."[3] This should not be confused with the word statistic, referring to a quantity (such as mean ormedian) calculated from a set of data,[4] whose plural is statistics ("this statistic seems wrong" or "these statistics are misleading"). More probability density is found the closer one gets to the expected (mean) value in a normal distribution. Statistics used in standardized testing assessment are shown. The scales include standard deviations, cumulative percentages, percentile equivalents, Z-scores, T-scores, standard nines, and percentages in standard nines.

...Baden Powell’s ideology of 5Ps, Prior, Planning, Prevent, Poor and Performance has given a lot of positive outcome towards our current issues in life. As when we try to figure out where we will end up in the future years, this ideology goes to work. Knowingly, before we can set out a plan, we need to know where we want to end up. What position do we want to be in later in life? Do we have a 5 year, 10 year, and 20 year plan? What position do we want to be in when we retire? For that matter, when do we want to retire? Having a financial plan also helps us manage our money better and actually helps us make it stretch to achieve all the things we want in life. Financial planning helps us know where our money goes and how to keep money in our pocket or account for longer. We know what we want our money to do for us because we have taken the time to work it out in advance. Prior planning means that we avoid unnecessary and reckless spending on things we don’t really need. (Haven’t we all done that at some time?) We will know how much we can spend at any time and what our credit limits as to prevent shortage of money before we get to the end of the month. In conjunction with financial planning, there a few steps need to be taken in awareness. The first step is to work out what we want, what is important to us and what we want our financial future to look like. Investigate our personal values – those beliefs that we have about what is right and good. Most people make their decisions...

...INCEPTION Chen,Jialang -Story outline -Dream and unconscious -Personality analysis 18, April, 2015 Story outline Inception is a 2010 science iction film. A thief who steals corporate secrets through use of dream-sharing technology is given the inverse task of planting an idea into the mind of a CEO. Dream and unconscious Dom Cobb is a skilled thief, the absolute best in the dangerous art of extraction, stealing valuable secrets from deep within the subconscious during the dream state, when the mind is at its most vulnerable. Cobb's rare ability has made him a coveted player in this treacherous new world of corporate espionage, but it has also made him an international fugitive and cost him everything he has ever loved. After that Cobb is being offered a chance at redemption. One last job could give him his life back but only if he can accomplish the impossible-inception. Instead of the perfect heist, Cobb and his team of specialists have to pull off the reverse: their task is not to steal an idea but to plant one. If they succeed, it could be the perfect crime. But no amount of careful planning or expertise can prepare the team for the dangerous enemy that seems to predict their every move. In this movie, we can find one of techniques in psychoanalysis, which is dream analysis. According to theory, dream direct avenue to the unconscious. When people fall in asleep, it’s the most vulnerable. In this time, people are out of consciousness but unconsciousness was...

...Essential Parts of an Argument Waled Albugalal Chapter 4 page 114 EN1420 Instructor Washington 4/22/2013 Week 4 Several different factors may be involved in the development of sleepwalking. These may include genetics (traits that run in families), environmental, and medical conditions. Sleepwalking is not associated with other sleep problems, sleeping alone in a room or with others, fear of the dark, or anger outbursts. Sleepwalking occurs more frequently in identical twins, and is 10 times more likely to occur if a first-degree relative has a history of sleepwalking. Therefore, it is thought the condition can be inherited. Environmental Factors Certain factors may cause a person to sleepwalk, such as: * Sleep deprivation * Chaotic sleep schedules * Stress * Alcohol intoxication * Drugs such as sedative/hypnotics (drugs that promote relaxation or sleep), neuroleptics (drugs used to treat psychosis), stimulants (drugs that increase activity), and antihistamines (drugs used to treat symptoms of allergy). Medical conditions that have been linked to sleepwalking include: * Arrhythmias (abnormal heart rhythms) * Fever * Gastro esophageal reflux...

What Fisher has brought to the Thunder, Brooks said, is toughness, a winning mentality and a desire to improve at age 37. "He's been in the league 16 years and he looks at himself as he's just starting in the league and he wants to keep getting better," Brooks said. "I don't think he realizes he's not going to get much better. He is what he is. But he still comes out every day to improve and it's refreshing "Definitely, it's shocking," guard Russell Westbrook said. "Usually I have four by myself."

...The chemical composition of the human brain has always been fragile, being put in a state of battle can produce chemicals that have a massive effect on the body and mental state of being. Further factors include outside aggressors such as foreign chemicals and one’s own self. (PTSD) or Post Traumatic Stress Disorder can only be developed if one has been exposed to a very traumatic event evolving an actual threat or serious injury, or a threat to a physical integrity of oneself or others. Most importantly a clinical experience with PTSD diagnosis has shown that most people who have been exposed to a horrific event do not necessarily acquire PTSD although that is the main cause of it; there was a vast amount of individual differences regarding the capacity or threshold to take a traumatic event. Very many illnesses have an effect on American literature, and this is because of how Agent Orange, Gulf War Syndrome, and PTSD came about. They affect literature by the way the media novels and authors portray them. Different people react to events differently; no one person is the same as one another. Like pain the traumatic experience is filtered through a cognitive and emotional process called appraisal. PTSD can take a very psychological and emotional toll on ones personal life, such as resentment and possibly force one to act out in odd ways. There are three different categories: pre-traumatic, traumatic and post traumatic factors. Pre traumatic could be anything from familiar...

...Breast cancer is a type of cancer that is caused by groups of cancer cells that may spread to surrounding tissues or distant areas of the body that originate in cells in the breast. As of right now there are four standard ways of treating breast cancer: surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and hormone therapy. There are several different surgeries that can be preformed to remove the cancerous cells. Lumpectomy is surgery in which the tumor and a small amount of tissue around it is removed. Partial mastectomy is surgery to remove an entire part of the breast that has cancer and some tissues around it, this surgery is also referred to as a segmental mastectomy. Total mastectomy is surgery to remove the whole breast that has cancer. Modified radical mastectomy is surgery to remove the whole breast that has cancer and many of the lymph nodes under the arm. This surgery also removes the lining over the chest muscles and sometimes part of the chest wall muscles. Radical mastectomy is the same surgery but removes all lymph nodes under the arm. Patients who are treated may have lymph nodes under the arm removed for biopsy. This procedure is called lymph node dissection. It is preformed through a separate incision. Radiation therapy is the second type of treatment. This procedure uses high-energy x-rays or other types of radiation to kill cancer cells or to keep them from growing. There is external radiation therapy that uses a machine outside the body to send radiation inside...
