  • Applied Numeracy for Higher Education

    Numeracy is an individual ability that is applied to basic numerical concepts. The fundamental numeracy skills include adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing (Steen 2001). Numeracy is a practice that involves numerical and graphical information (McIntosh 2004). Data collection commands keenness because inaccurate data collection may lead to invalid results (Purcell, Elias, Davies & Wilton 2005).…

  • The Nutritive Value of Ruminant Feeds

    Abstract In this paper, we experimented to assess the nutritive value of ruminant feeds. To do so, we analyzed the chemical compositions of dry matter, crude protein, acid detergent fibre, neutral detergent fibre, ash, and ether extract. Our findings revealed that ryegrass had the highest concentrations of dry matter (95.46), neutral detergent fibre (68.25), and…

  • Probability Distributions: Questions and Notes

    Carrying out a quantitative analysis is a crucial step toward identifying essential relationships between the variables under analysis. It should be noted, though, that the process in question can be carried out in a variety of ways, probability distribution being one of the tools that can be used for data assessment. By definition, the phenomenon…

  • Hypothesis Testing: Number of Defective Flash Drivers

    Introduction Creating the environment, in which consistent quality improvement becomes a possibility, is imperative for the contemporary entrepreneurship. Therefore, a detailed analysis of the current production process, including the repeatability and the reproducibility levels needs to be carried out (Liu, 2014). In the context of the identified scenario, one will have to carry out a…

  • The Proxemics of the Mediated Voice

    The author starts the article by highlighting the importance of voice in everyday communication, particularly the fact that it can be used to define the communicative distance between the listener and the talker. He states the aim of the article as being an attempt to address the difficulties arising out of the lack of regard…

  • Probability in Statistics: Desired Result’ Occurrence

    Table of Contents Theoretical Probability Relative Frequency Probability Subjective Probability Works Cited Theoretical Probability Theoretical probability is one of the most commonly applied types of probability in statistics, especially in real-life situations. Theoretical probability refers to the possibility of a desirable outcome occurring; hence, one has to define the desirable outcome (Bennett et al. 214).…

  • Location of Chemical Disposals

    To state the fact that chemical disposals located near the community can cause severe illnesses, it is necessary to complete the careful research, to analyze the findings, and focus on conclusions. Thus, it is important to clarify the type of research needed in order to find the necessary materials on the issue. Unsafe chemical disposal…
