Tabloid and broadsheet newspaper comparison maths coursework
Maths Coursework Michael Grainger S1 Task D: Authorship Introduction: Tabloid and broadsheet newspapers are both aimed at different audiences. This, therefore, means that they are written differently to correspond with the audience that they are aimed at. Tabloid newspapers supposedly give an easier read than a broadsheet newspaper and this is what this investigation will prove. Aim: The aim of this piece of coursework is to gain information about authorship of a text using statistical measures. I will collect data from a population with a view to estimating population parameters (e.g. mean & variance) by using estimation techniques from the previous module. The task will involve taking a random sample, expressing my results in various forms appropriate to the work also calculating and comparing confidence intervals. Prediction: I predict that after counting the letters in sample words from both a tabloid and a broadsheet newspaper, that I will find that the broadsheet newspaper has longer words overall because it is aimed at a more educated audience. This then means that the tabloid will have a shorter mean word length making it an easier read for the audience that it is aimed at. The population being used is a random sample of word lengths from both a tabloid newspaper and a broadsheet newspaper. When
Are all Christians Ministers?
Are all Christians Ministers? INTRODUCTION John Collins' book "Are all Christians ministers?" attempts to examine the historical basis for the term ministry, to discover it's nature, scope and significance for the kind of church he believes, we have inherited from our traditions, in an endeavour to answer that all Christians are not ministers. MAJOR THEMES Combining a New Testament and historical background, Collins attempts to examine the original meanings and usage of the term ministry in the endeavour, contrary to the new dominant and popular stance held by many Protestant churches today, which is that all Christians are not ministers. [Collins,1992, p 1-3,13,22,51] Collins confides the exclusive rights to ministry to those officially commissioned to ministry in their churches in the role of an office. [Collins,1992,p 2,38-39] He argues that from the earliest tradition that "authentic" Christian ministry can only be a restricted role, unavailable to all, a historical succession of the sacrament of ordination, instituted and hierarchically structured by Christ himself. [Collins,1992, p 2-3,7-8, 26,38-40] Collins claims it holds power, creates a new being, involves preaching the word, leadership, dedication, trustworthiness, being a mediator and reconciler between God and humanity.. [Collins,1992,p 7-8,9,44-45] Collins appeals to Pope John Paul the seconds definition of
Football's governing bodies.
Sean Halsey, P.E. homework, Ms Price Football's governing bodies All sports have at least one governing body. This governing body has many responsibilities, including setting rules, setting punishments, controlling draws for competitions and tournaments, etc. The governing body for football in England is the Football Association. They control football at all levels, from grass roots to the premier league. One of their jobs is to make sure that football is being played using the correct rules and regulations so that each game is fair. They do this by making all referees and officials take a course that teaches them the correct rules of the game, and tests them to make sure they know them. They handle such things as international relations, ethics and sports equity, elite player development and coaching. The FA has also done many great things that have helped the game in England. An important thing for the future of English football is that we keep producing good young footballing talent. The FA has overseen this by setting up coaching academies and national football centres of excellence. These centres of excellence are where the best young footballers are sent to learn from the best coaches and trainers in England. This helps them progress, and lets them play with and against the best players in their age group. They also make sure that they are educated well, so that if
Ethical Decision-Making
Decision Support Systems Sharon Robinson DBM 410 Decision support Systems SPICS1101 University of Phoenix- Clearwater Campus Joe Dobrinski, Jr. May 31, 2005 Workshop #5 Team Assignment Creating a Decision Support System Creating a Decision Support System (DSS) A DSS is an interactive, computer-based system, which has functions for giving a user modeling and data support, which is flexible and adaptable to varying needs in changing environments, with a supportive and easy to use interface, and which has been built to represent the necessary and sufficient problem and knowledge elements of the context it should support (MacDermant, 1998). The ultimate goal of collecting this data is to provide a foundation for business intelligence. Data is drawn from data warehouses, data marts, internal data (generated by business transactions), personal data (individual, subjective estimates, projections, opinions, judgments, etc.), external data (generated outside the organization, but relevant to the organization), economic data (competitive intelligence), and any other data needed for sound decisions. We can collect data manually, by instruments and sensors, scanning, or electronic transfer. The data is transformed into information and knowledge. Data analysis tools are then applied which will augment the decision makers' judgment with facts, analysis, and forecasts. Practical
How can the experiences and identities of Irish people in Britain inform understandings of Irishness and questions of whiteness in Britain?
How can the experiences and identities of Irish people in Britain inform understandings of Irishness and questions of whiteness in Britain? This essay focuses on experiences of Irish people in Britain. Until recently there has been little academic study on Irish migration and the Irish Diaspora and although the Irish are 'the largest ethnic minority in Britain's workforce and have been the most important source of migrant labour for British economy for 200 years' (Hickman,1998, 288) studies of migration tend to ignore this fact. The first part of my essay will focus on why the Irish have been somewhat of an 'invisible' migrant group in Britain. I will then consider the notion of 'whiteness' in Britain/England in relation to race and racism, highlighting the notion of a 'black white dualism' in regards to race. In the third part of this essay I will to examine the fact that Irish people in Britain can be subject to the same types of racial discrimination as other 'non-white' ethnic minorities in Britain. I will look at ways the Irish have been constructed as an inferior race to the British and present some of the negative stereotypes of Irish culture. The final part of my essay will focus on experiences of the second generation Irish population living in Britain. I will address the questions of how they challenge the traditional view of Irish culture how they might identify
Coastal coursework
Introduction The project is about how the northeast Norfolk coastline should be managed, the coastline is suffering badly from erosion, some places are worse than others and there are a lot of sea defences put up, some of this is due to global warming, with the seas rising it will put more pressure on the cliffs, the Yorkshire coast down to the north Suffolk is mainly bolder clay so it is wearing away extremely quickly and the coast is very low lying land the combination of the two could be disasters. On the coastline around Norfolk the long shore drift travels from north to south down the coast, this happens in all the coastlines in Norfolk it's the same system around, not just little bits, the long shore drift carries different bits of materials to different beaches. There are a lot of different defences some are: sea walls, rip rap, gorgers, gabions, granite reefs. Method On the 23rd of May there was a school field trip organized and they visited the following locations: Overstrand, Mundesley, Happisburgh, sea palling and Winterton. In order to carry out these investigations we had a variety of tasks. Observing the environment closely, we made notes, which included field sketches, and also took photos. The erosion occurring at each place, together with the soil type, land use, bolder clay and defences. Details of our findings are included later on in the project. Long
Dear Diary.
Dear Diary, I've lived on this here ranch for many years now, and as a coloured man, I feel my life is nothing but the lowest of all. A white man's loneliness and hardship is nothing compared to a black man's isolation. I live here, all alone in my own room. The other men say that it's good to have your own room, where there ain't nobody else to disturb your own privacy. But, it's not like that. There ain't nothing good about it at all. A lonely life is what I live. By my own self, in my own bunk, with no one. I'm kept away from all the other men on this ranch, because of the prejudice against my coloured people. I have complained too many times about this injustice, but nobody would listen to the nigger speak. But, something funny happened today. Everything was the same as it always is on a Saturday evening. The white fellas out to town, leaving everything else silent, except the quiet echo of the horses, moving about restlessly. As usual, my crippled back, injured from that darn horse, began to throb with pain once again, so I took out my liniment and slowly began to massage the ache with my hands. My mind wandered, and wondered about the reasons I have for staying here. I have many. I can't leave this place, even though it is the one place where I am always unhappy. It's just the fact that I'm a black man, I suppose. I haven't got any choices. It's either here or
I will research the cars by putting the data I have been given into statistical charts, graphs and tables to analyse them. I will use a scatter graph to firstly look at how age affects all cars depreciation
Plan This piece of coursework has asked me to look at the prices of used cars and what makes their prices decrease. I think that the most important thing to do is to work out the depreciation of all of the 100 cars. I will do this first because I think that this will make the cars more easily comparable and put them all into percentage form. I will work out depreciation by using this equation. * D= C x100 O o D= Depreciation o C= Change in price o O= Original price This is the equation to work out the depreciation of a car. I will research the cars by putting the data I have been given into statistical charts, graphs and tables to analyse them. I will use a scatter graph to firstly look at how age affects all cars depreciation. This will have either a line or curve of best fit. If it is a straight line I can work out the equation of the line. The equation for this is: * Y=M><+C o Y= Depreciation o M= The gradient of the line o ><= Age o C= Where the line intercepts the y-axis This means I can approximately calculate the age of any car from only the depreciation and vice-versa. From the line I can also create a box plot and read the lower and upper quartiles, the inter quartile range, the median and the range. On this graph the lower quartile would show that a car loses a quarter of its value in however many years, the upper would show that the car
To what extent was the outbreak of the civil war in england caused by Charles I's attempt at personal rule without parliament?
JON PRICE HR111 TO WHAT EXTENT WAS THE OUTBREAK OF THE CIVIL WAR IN ENGLAND CAUSED BY CHARLES I'S ATTEMPT AT PERSONAL RULE WITHOUT PARLIAMENT? The English civil war and the events leading up to it were one of the darker days in English history, with the highest death count before WWI that the past has ever seen. A time of tension and resentment beset England and led to a deep split within the country. Before we look at the extent of which Charles was responsible for the civil war, it is important to explore the events occurring before his coming to power. King James I, Charles predecessor, first came to power in 1603. It was before this time that James had conceived his theory of 'divine right monarchy' which was to prove unpopular amongst members of parliament, as in 1609 during a speech to Parliament James I put down the Parliament as 'cries, shouts and confusion'1 Divine right was the idea that the King was sent and blessed by God to rule on earth as 'Kings are not only GOD'S lieutenants upon earth, and sit upon throne, but even by God Himselfe they are called Gods2' a belief regarded by many to be arrogant. The country had been left in financial turmoil as a result of Elizabeth's war debts from her conflict with the Spanish, and James sought for methods of reducing the deficit, one way of doing this was through the selling of offices and titles. In 1611 a new order
Tiger or Dragon, who's next?
Who would be the next global super power - India or China? It is inevitable. The rate at which the economies of India and China are growing, it is time that one of them is crowned the undisputed global leader. INDIA - A resilient and vibrant democracy, a multicultural nation with a complex mix of race, religion, caste and language and a rich artistic heritage that can be excavated all the way back to Harappa. Five million cell phones sold in the last month. GDP touching 10 per cent, sensex flirting with the 20,000 point mark, Indian computer scientists forming the bulk of Silicon Valley, IIT trained engineers working all over the world and also finding time to appear in Dilbert comics. Well, it is spring time in India. On the other had, we have China. The story of superlatives here is not just restricted to the population figures. The largest and most modern stock exchange - Shanghai Stock Exchange; tallest TV tower (Shanghai) and the longest Olympic torch relay ever all the way to the Mt Everest. Well, China has been delivering and the whole world is taking notice. Rapid economic growth, global trading ties, and expanding diplomatic cooperation have pushed China to the first rank of nations. The Chinese economy has been growing at 9.67 per cent since 1978. In 2006, it reached a staggering 10.7 per cent. China's research and development budget has been growing at 20 per
