After reading this week’s assignments I am shocked and saddened by the prevalence of child abuse.

We propose two distinct analyses based on items re-consumed in the test set. The first one refers to the \textit{recall} of these items. Note that among the training items of each user, there are \textit{(1)} unexpected items; \textit{(2)} expected ones that users re-consumed in the test set; and \textit{(3)} expected items that users did not re-consume. Thus, given the whole training set as input, a good recommender should assign high scores to the re-consumed items. This analysis shows the capability

The easiest unit we have covered so far is probably unit 3, Functions. I’m basing my judgement off of my unit final scores, and that was my highest score so far. Looking back at some of the work we did in that unit, I feel like I actually understood what my teacher was talking about.

The most difficult unit is unit

A researcher created a dot-plot and a stem-and-leaf plot for the average hours of sleep for 20 high school students who had been randomly selected from a very large high school. They kept a record of the number of hours they slept each night for a week. These seven values were averaged to obtain an average night of sleep for each. The parameters that provide measures of central tendency were estimated. The 20 students slept an average of 9, 8, 8, 7.5, 6, 6, 4, 5.5, 7, 8, 5, 7.5, 6.5, 10, 8.5, 6.5
