Identify the work of art, telling me the name of the title of the work, the approximate date it was made, and the culture that produced it.

The Kongo Power Figure

Instructions:
* Go the Metropolitan Museum’s website www.metmuseum.org
* Type the accession number of the assigned work of art into “search” at the top right of the page. The number is 2008.30
* Look at the image carefully and thoroughly. Zoom in on details.
* When you are ready to write, follow these three steps:

1) Identify the work of art, telling me the name of the title of the work, the approximate date it was made, and the culture that produced it. (This can be done in one or two sentences.)

2) Describe the physical appearance of the work of art––carefully putting what you see into your own words. This is called formal analysis. Write about the colors, textures, and overall form of the work of art. Then methodically describe the piece. You could, for instance, describe this work starting at the edges and moving toward the center. Apply relevant vocabulary terms. (Aim for writing at least four to five sentences of formal analysis.)

3) Discuss briefly what the original function of this work of art was. (This can be done in about two sentences.)
Important: Do not depend on the text of the Met’s website for your writing. Use your own eyes, your notes, and what you have learned in class to guide you. Do not copy or paraphrase what you see on metmuseum.org or any other source. This is plagiarism.

What type of graph would you use to display the organized data from each frequency distribution? What would be shown on each of the axes for each graph?

Graphing and Describing Data in Everyday Life

Suppose that you have two sets of data to work with. The first set is a list of all the injuries that were seen in a clinic in a month’s time. The second set contains data on the number of minutes that each patient spent in the waiting room of a doctor’s office. You can make assumptions about other information or variables that are included in each data set.

For each data set, propose your idea of how best to represent the key information. To organize your data would you choose to use a frequency table, a cumulative frequency table, or a relative frequency table? Why?

What type of graph would you use to display the organized data from each frequency distribution? What would be shown on each of the axes for each graph?

Graphing and Describing Data in Everyday Life

Follow-Up Post Instructions

Respond to at least one peer. Further the dialogue by providing more information and clarification.

Consider how different distributions might affect the different graphs. How might other variables affect the graphs? How could graphs be made to be biased? If a graph were biased, how might you change it to guard against that bias?

Given that almost all societies sanction marriage and limit who can marry whom, does the history of marriage help us understand the nature of family life? If so, how. If not, how not.

History of Marriage

Required book to answer questions – Coontz, S. (2005). Marriage, a history: From obedience to intimacy, or how love conquered marriage. Viking Adult. ISBN: 067003407X
(pages-1-103, pp. 104-195, pp. 196-313)

Answer the 2 questions separately on 2 separate pages Do not integrate them into 1 paper.

Questions
1. Stephanie Coontz divides the history of marriage into two broad periods. One in which marriage is arranged by the parents and is for economic, political and status reasons, and another where the partners decide to get married and happiness is an aim of matrimony. Cite Coontz’s definition of marriage, then attempt your own definition of marriage. What role do children play in the definition of marriage? Incorporate the various elements from both periods in the definition. Show how pre-modern marriage was not for love but for serving the parents’ wishes, and how modern marriage serves the couple and their children more than the parents of the married couple.

2.Given that almost all societies sanction marriage and limit who can marry whom, does the history of marriage help us understand the nature of family life? If so, how. If not, how not. If the answer is both yes and no, show how.

What did you think the probability of winning the car was, before you watched the video? How can you use probability and probability rules in arriving at the answer? What probability ideas does this demonstrate and use? Explain and give examples.

MODULE 3: PROBABILITY PROJECT

The purpose of this Probability Project is to show your understanding of what you have learned in Module 3. You will watch a video and apply the appropriate probability concepts from this module. You will discuss your !earnings in a 2-page paper as outlined below.
Instructions
This is a fun assignment to do. In chapter 5 you learned about basic probability and learned about conditional probability. Now, you get to see these two in action. You may have heard of the TV game: “Let’s Make a Deal,” where at the end of the show, contestants are presented with 3 doors and they are informed that behind one of the doors is a brand-new car. So, the contestant chooses one of three doors. Then the game show host (First one was Monty Hall), opens a door and reveals a goat. Then Monty asks if the contestant wants to switch or not. So, the question is, what is the probability of winning? Should I stay, or should I switch? What would you do?
Imagine that the set of Monty Hall’s game show Let’s Make a Deal has three closed doors. Behind one of these doors is a car; behind the other two are goats. The contestant does not know where the car is, but Monty Hall does. The contestant picks a door and Monty opens one of the remaining doors, one he knows doesn’t hide the car. If the contestant has already chosen the correct door, Monty is equally likely to open either of the two remaining doors. After Monty has shown a goat behind the door that he opens, the contestant is always given the option to switch doors. What is the probability of winning the car if she stays with her first choice? What if she decides to switch? Think about what you think the answer is: stay or switch?
1. Watch a TEDEd video that explains the problem: “Should I stay or should I switch doors?”
2. Write a paper that includes:
a. What did you think the probability of winning the car was, before you watched the video? (3 points)
b. Information from the video what the answer really is (3 points)
c. How can you use probability and probability rules in arriving at the answer? What probability ideas does this demonstrate and use? Explain and give examples. You may use other sources as well but make sure to cite them (you may want to watch the extended version of the video if you are not sure, watch the Monty Hall Problem video. (15 points)
d. Are you surprised by the answer to the question “stay or switch”? Does it make sense? (3 points)
e. 2 pages long, using size 12 font, double spaced, cover page, references included. (3 points) References Should I stay or should I switch doors? (n.d.). Retrieved from https://ed.ted.com/featured/PWb09pny

Short Answer Assignment

Week 7
Sam is impressed by Bill’s ability to whistling a tune. Sam asks Bill how he does it, and Bill replies that he doesn’t really know, he can just do it. What type of knowledge does Bill have for his whistling ability? [1 point] Explain your answer [1 point]. Sam starts trying to learn how to whistle by practicing. According to Logan’s Instance Theory each time Sam practices can be considered an instance. What three aspects of the instance representation are recorded as a memory according to Instance Theory? [3 points]

Week 8

The Economic Rationality theory of decision-making has an assumption that humans are economical/rational. Explain how the theory of Bounded Rationality extends upon this theory [3 points]. The theory of Bounded Rationality also claims that the environment, aspiration level, and satisficing can help explain decision making. Explain what is meant by ‘satisficing’ in this theory [2 points].

Week 9

Ross is conducting a study where he has participants complete an implicit association test (IAT) at two time points – 1. Before, and 2. after, playing the computer game ‘Mortal Combattle’. The IAT that Ross is using involves categorizing concepts of ‘self vs. other’ and attributes ‘peaceful vs. aggressive’. Ross hypothesizes that playing the game ‘Mortal Combattle’ will prime higher implicit levels of aggression in the participants. Does the IAT provide an internal or external indicator of aggression? [1 point] Considering Ross’s hypothesis, how are participants expected to behave when categorizing relevant words on ‘self and peaceful’ trials after playing the game compared with before playing the game? [1 point] How are participants expected to behave when categorizing relevant words on ‘self and aggressive’ trials after playing the game compared with before playing the game? [1 point] In this example study has Ross used a within-participants or between-participants design? Explain your reasoning. [1 point]
