Abstract The purpose of this paper is to provide a written report of the five part M&M project. Part one was sampling. We were to purchase 3 bags of M&M and record the color counts of each bag in an Excel spread sheet. For part two we calculated the sample proportions for each color, the mean number of candies per1.69oz bag, created a histogram for the number of candies per bag, use Excel to compute the descriptive statistics for the total number of candies per bag and summarize the information…

low vision deck. Three tests: color, suit, and number sorting were compared. The dependent variables in the experiment included time and the number of trials it took for the student to complete the task successfully. The independent variables were sorting the two different decks by color, suit, and number. Hypothesis: 1. There will be a significant time difference between sorting the standard deck of cards and the low vision cards by suit. The four distinct colors (red, green, blue, and…

stores in an attempt to achieve as much of a random sample as possible. From that random sample, manual sorting was required to distinguish the various groups of candies by color and quantity. The colors identified from each bag were blue, orange, green, yellow, red, brown. Once established, the quantities for each color was documented from each student's sample and the individual samples where combined to create the full random sample used throughout the remainder of the project. The utilization…

that would indicate a certain macromolecule present by a color change. The data presented within this lab shows that each reagent gave a color change to a solution, showing whether or not the macromolecule was present in the food item. Each result depended on the actual nutritional value of the food item and the test proved if the food sample contained the macromolecule tested for. From conducting this experiment, it is clear to see that each test provided results to whether or not the substance contained…

with the two homozygous populations, we were able to determine the dominant body color as well as inheritance. After determining the dominant trait and inheritance, we crossed two heterozygous individuals to prove a resulting 3:1 ratio common to autosomal heterozygotes. Using the same cages used to determine the 3:1 ratio, we performed a super cross in which 1000 individuals were generated. A chi squared analysis were performed on these results to solidify the 3:1 ratio…

Andrew Niccol’s American science fiction film, Gattaca presents a future society purely driven by eugenics. Children are conceived through the modification of their parent’s genetic manipulation to ensure that they inherit only the best traits. The film’s title is based on the first letters of guanine, adenine, thymine, and cytosine, the four nucleobases of DNA. The themes of the film are genetic engineering and the ethical issues surrounding it. Gattaca is a futuristic society in which science has…

My job in this case was to investigate the murder of Matt Zuengler. I needed to eliminate the people to find the true blooded killer of this case. The suspects were John Fisher, Dan Albrecht, Shana Watson, Dan Newel, Brack Gillespie, and Joelle Zuengler. To eliminate some of the suspects I did some tests. The tests done where blood tests, hair analysis, and fingerprints. My first test started out as blood testing. I tested blood that was found on the victim, the victim’s car, the cabin where the…

Systems Analysis Pseudocoding & Flowcharting 1 Flowcharting, pseudocoding, and process design The purpose of “flowcharts” is to represent graphically the logical decisions and progression of steps in the physical completion of a task. As such, flowcharts are the lowest level of decomposition. The flowchart specifies the order in which tasks are performed. As such anyone who knows about the function can recognize immediately changes to the actual performance of work. Since here the logic of the…
