The Importance of Relationships Introduction Confidence interval refers to a range of values that would be approximately located or contained in a given unknown population (Newcombe, 2013). On the other hand, the confidence level is the probability of a given randomly selected sample from a true population would be contained in a given confidence interval. Confidence level may range from 90% 95%,99% etc. Both confidence level and the sample usually affect the range of the confidence interval (Wilcox, 2012). This exercise to examine the effect of confidence level and sample on the confidence interval of the age variable. The variable is derived from the titanic data set. 95% and 90% confidence interval for a sample of a 100 Taking a sample of 100 individuals from the data set, the mean age of the selected individual is 28.3050, as indicated in the table below. Statistics   N Mean Std. Deviation Std. Error Mean Age 100 28.3050 13.25162 1.32516   95% confidence interval implies that there is a 95% chance that a randomly selected individual from a sample of 100 would have…

Code of Hammurabi and Plebiscites The code of Hammurapi is one of the earliest legal codes, which was announced by the Babylonian king Hammurabi. This king reigned between 1792 to 1750 B.C. The Hammurabi king united the southern Mesopotamia by expanding the city of Babylon towards the river Euphrates. Therefore, the king’s Hammurabi code was meant to set standards for moneymaking interactions and established fines and punishments to reach the necessities of justice. Hammurabi’s code was imprinted on a massive black stone stele that was finger-shaped, which was robbed by attackers and finally revived in 1901. The plebiscites are where the citizens of a country vote to decide on some issues such as the takeover of power, choice about independence, or the ruler of a government. In this system, voters are asked to confirm or reject the rightfulness of a certain form of government. The plebiscites were popular in France after the revolution of 1789.  This is because it was deemed as a countenance of popular sovereignty and in 1804, they made Napoleon a ruler. The code of Hammurapi is…

Significant Feature of Charles Babbage’s Analytical Engine The engine is regarded as the first computer that was designed and built by Charles Babbage, an English inventor of the 19th century. As Babbage was working on a Difference Engine, a machine that was commissioned by the UK government to perform simple calculations, he noted that he could improve the engine. Primarily, Babbage thought about the way he could generalize its activities to ensure it performed a wide range of calculations. In 1833, there was a lack of adequate funds to continue developing the Difference Engine, but by this time, Babbage has revolutionized the Analytical Engine. One of the most significant features of the Analytical Engine was the store. The store was important for the engine since it was meant to store information, including numbers, constants, and variables.   With such information, it was possible to compute subsequent calculations. Babbage intended to enlarge the store and make it hold approximately 1000 40-digit number or slightly more than 16 kilobytes (Week 3 – Computing Machines). The mill was another vital component of the Analytical…

Interactive computer graphics A homogenous coordinate is a system that treats all the algebraic points equally in a projective plane that is both the ideal and Euclidean. When we consider the points [p1,p2,p3] at a point p, the projection of p will have the coordinates on a plane as [x,y,z] whereby the p is a point in the form of Euclidean plane. The rotation of a point or a straight line or image on the screen is done by moving the image to occupy the origin. Performing translation, which is the moving of an image from one place to another on a straight line, is done by either adding the coordinates or point or by subtracting them, whereby the picture is required to be shifted. Homogenous is done in the designing and construction of applications like translation, rotation, scaling to fit the pictures properly. In homogenous coordinates, two dimensions are represented by (x, y). When projecting a 2D image, it is easy to identify the x and y dimensions. When considering an image projection, we can have a dimension W.…

Course Reflection Introduction The course has been very instrumental in enhancing my writing proficiency. I have gathered vital knowledge on the composition process which will be of great significance in my future pursuits. Prewriting is the first stage of the process. It is a vital step because it assists in the clarification of possible ideas and preparation of the initial draft. Various activities such as clustering, brainstorming, outlining, and freewriting are done in this stage. Drafting is the second step. Once the initial draft is ready, particular aspects are revised and edited based on the feedback obtained from peers and the teacher. A final draft is that incorporates the various changes is prepared in the last step. There are diverse platforms where students can publish their works upon completion. They include websites, class books, and so forth. Insights One useful insight I acquired from my composition process concerns the credibility of sources utilized in an article or assignment. A review from my peer helped me recognize the importance of the credibility and validity of sources relied on to advance my…

Competitive Dynamics Table of Contents Introduction. 3 Brief summary of the Case study. 3 Strategic issues. 3 Review of evolutionary economic as the dynamic approach to the competitive dynamic of Southern company. 3 Resource-based view of Southern company. 4 The concentration of the firms in the Southland and Midland of England. 4 Theoretical concepts of strategic competition based on competitive dynamics. 4 Application of Strategic models. 6 Conclusion. 7 References. 8                             Introduction The question “why some companies remain at the top” over a long period of time has posed a great importance in the business field and is known to have evolved around competitive strategy. The assumption is not that the firms will persist in their performance differences. The persistence performance will arise between the firms which traditional models cannot explain. The traditional models can treat them as unusual or to some point due to the monopolistic activity of the firm, by the virtue that it is the only firm in that area. This will bring…

Competitive Market vs. Monopolies             The exists various types of market structures. They include perfect competition, monopolistic market structure, oligopoly, and monopoly. Some of these market structures exist in reality, while some of them are just theoretical constructs. However, policymakers and economists have failed to come to a consensus into admitting which of the best market structure. While some of these market structures are advocating for competition in the marketplace, others are advocating for a single seller market structure. In the monopoly market structure, for example, they advocate for the existence of a single seller who dictates the prices of goods and services. On the flip side, a competitive market structure exhibits a characteristic whereby there exist several buyers and sellers. Prices in these types of markets are determined by the price mechanism. The market force is the tenets that determine the price of a good and service. As a result, there exists an eternal debate on which among these two market structures is the best market structure that will ensure consumer and supplier satisfaction. Naturally, it’s the nature for…

Competitive advantage in health systems Competitive advantage is a beneficial factor that allows a company to produce goods and services that are cheap than its rivals. The firm is thus able to have more sales and profits compared to its competitors in the market. In the health care sector, competitive advantage is a vital concept of strategic planning and healthcare leadership for stakeholder analysis. Some of the factors that attribute to compelling competitive advantage in the health industry are quality of services, branding, network distribution, customer service, intellectual property and cost of structures. The paper will discuss the resource-based theory of competitive advantage for stakeholder analysis, strengths and weaknesses and the implementation of the approach. The basis of the resource-based theory of competitive advantage is to have long-term success in business innovation. There are certain factors to consider which are: a firm’s internal resources,  its capability to use those resources and contribution of change to increase its revenue in the market. In this case, the firm can be a hospital, pharmacy chain, and clinics, among others. The model of the…

Compensation Plan A compensation plan is a package that consists of the wages, salaries and benefits of the employees. There are different types of compensation plans, and each of them has their advantages and disadvantages.one of the most connected method to my current workplace is the straight salary compensation that has got the characteristic of basic salaries and wages given to the employed. Straight salary promotes the equality sense among the staff who work as a team or individually. The main benefit of a straight salary is that it is of more help to one who is transferring to another organization (Mistry, 2017). The salary plus commission plan is a better and reliable one as enables an individual to have the necessary salary alongside the bonus if his or her performance exceeds or is on point with the goals. This gives more morale for one to work more to reach the goals. The six main building blocks have several steps that lead to designing and implementing an effective plan. Among the measures, the designing of the compensation structure is what…

  History Comparison of the Seated Woman of Çatalhöyük to the Woman from Willendorf The Seated Woman of Çatalhöyük refers to a neolithic sculpture which is a female nude formed, baked- clay that is seated between the feline arm headed rests. It was discovered by James Mellartn in 1961. The sculpture depicts a fertile and corpulent Goddess Mother, in the process the Mother Goddess is seated on her throne, which has two hands in the form of a feline while giving birth. On the other hand Woman from Willendoff refers to a figurine in female form that was found by Joseph Szombathy in 1908. The statue was carved from red limestone that was known to be oolitic. The statue is important as an icon of prehistoric because it represented the different beliefs of the nomadic society that constructed it. How do these two works illustrate the differences between societies in the Paleolithic and Neolithic periods?    The Woman of Çatalhöyük across the Paleolithic period represented the transition from hunting and gathering to animal domestication and skills in planting. The sculpture…
