...the regression equation. Here a linear equation is created to predict the Body fat (%) using 3 predictors or also known as independent variables which are the chest circumference, abdomen circumference and weight. From the result a line equation is formed , that is in the in form of (Y) = a + bx Where : (Y) is the average predicted value that is the variable which need to be estimated for any value of x. X is the independent variable and at each time a different predictor (independent variable) is used that is chest circumference, abdomen circumference and weight. A is the Y intercept . This is the Y value (body fat %) when x = 0 B is the slope of the regression line . This slope measures the average change in Y (the body fat %) for each unit change in x ( chest circumference, abdomen circumference and weight) The following are the result of the regressing which were attach after the result. Result 1 : Predicting Body Fat % Using chest circumference (Y) = -51.72 +0.697 X The slope of the equation is 0.697. This means that for every one unit increase in the chest circumference the body fat % will increase 0.697 unit. Result 2 : Predicting Body Fat % change Using...

As a human service professional dealing with this dilemma, it would be hard to deal with this situation, especially if you have a client that trust you. Dealing with teenagers can be difficult. Many teenagers do nor open up to adults because of trust issues. First I would determine what would be the best thing to help my client The first thing I would do is present the situation to my supervisor (Woodside, 2011, p280). Maybe with her help she will be able to guide me in the right direction. I would also review my notes from therapy sessions to see if the client has made that threat before. I would wonder if the clients threat was creditable. Whenever someone say they don't feel like living sometimes, you cannot take the threat lightly. With this type of threat you should always assume the worse. I would explore different way to approach my client. I would advise her in different ways that she really should tell her parents about how she was feeling. I would offer my client the option to tell her family how she is feeling, while I am in the...

...increased over the years. Every morning once you turn the television on the news is talking about the three murders the evening before. With the increase of crime I would like to see more organizations and people within the community coming together to help focus on those who are less fortunate. I believe this would lower crime rates and homelessness significantly. I care about Milwaukee very much, I was raised here and I hate to overhear other conversations amongst people how scary Milwaukee is, because I just don’t see it that way. In addition I am well aware of the potential Milwaukee has; events like Summerfest and Wisconsin State fair bring outsiders into the city representing Milwaukee. I would like to see more organizations like Hope’s Chest where individuals are coming together to sort out donated items to be resold at very affordable prices. If the people of Milwaukee who are struggling are able to purchase what they need at very low prices there would be no need for crime and people to not have a warm winter coat this winter. In general more voluntary organizations or low profit locations need to open up to get Milwaukee back on its feet. It is sad...

...A heart attack happens when the flow of oxygen-rich blood to a section of heart muscle suddenly becomes blocked and the heart can’t get oxygen. If blood flow isn’t restored quickly, the section of heart muscle begins to die. Heart attack treatment works best when it’s given right after symptoms occur. If you think you or someone else is having a heart attack, even if you’re not sure, call 9–1–1 right away.

CHD is a condition in which a waxy substance called plaque builds up inside the coronary arteries. These arteries supply oxygen-rich blood to your heart. When plaque builds up in the arteries, the condition is called...
