Student learning outcomes:
The student will compare and contrast empirical data from a random number generator with the Uniform Distribution.
Collect the data
Use a random number generator to generate 50 values between 0 and 1 (inclusive). List them
below. Round the numbers to 4 decimal places or set the calculator MODE to 4 places.
Complete the table:

Calculate the following:
1st quartile =
3rd quartile =
Median =
Organize the data
Construct a histogram of the empirical data. Make 8 bars.
Construct a histogram of the empirical data. Make 5 bars.
Describe the data
Describe the shape of each graph. Use 2 – 3 complete sentences. (Keep it simple. Does the
graph go straight across, does it have a V shape, does it have a hump in the middle or at either end,etc.? One way to help you determine a shape, is to roughly draw a smooth curve through the top
of the bars.)
Describe how changing the number of bars might change the shape.
Theoretical distribution
In words,
=
The theoretical distribution of
is
~
. Use it for this part.
In theory, based upon the distribution
~
, complete the following.
1st quartile =
3rd quartile =
median = __________
Are the empirical values (the data) in the section titled "Collect the Data" close to the corresponding theoretical values above? Why or why not?
Plot the data
Construct a box plot of the data. Be sure to use a ruler to scale accurately and draw straight
edges.
Do you notice any potential outliers? If so, which values are they? Either way, numerically
justify your answer. (Recall that any DATA are less than Q1 – 1.5*IQR or more than Q3 +1.5*IQR are potential outliers. IQR means interquartile range.)
Compare the data
For each part below, use a complete sentence to comment on how the value obtained
from the data compares to the theoretical value you expected from the distribution in the section titled "Theoretical Distribution."
minimum value:
1st quartile:
median:
third quartile:
maximum value:
width of IQR:
overall shape:
Based on your comments in the section titled "Collect the Data", how does the box plot fit or not fit what you
would expect of the distribution in the section titled "Theoretical Distribution?"
Discussion question
Suppose that the number of values generated was 500, not 50. How would that affect what you
would expect the empirical data to be and the shape of its graph to look like?
Communication is effective because it allows individuals to share ideas, thoughts, and information with others.
effective communication can lead to improved outcomes in various settings, including personal relationships, business environments, and educational settings. By communicating effectively, individuals can negotiate effectively, solve problems collaboratively, and work towards common goals.

Every time someone flushes a toilet in the apartment building, the person begins to jumb back automatically after hearing the flush, before the water temperature changes. Identify the types of learning, if it is classical conditioning identify the NS, UCS, CS and CR. If it is operant conditioning, identify the type of consequence positive reinforcement, negative reinforcement or punishment
nature is an hereditary factor while nurture is an environmental factor which constitute an individual personality. so if an individual's parent has a deviant behavior and was also brought up in an deviant environment, observation of the behavior and the inborn trait we make the individual deviant.

I am taking this course because I am hoping that I could somehow learn more about my chosen field of interest and due to the fact that being a PsyD really ignites my passion as an individual the more I hope to learn about developing and literally explore the complexity of my critical thinking skills
hello. autism is a umbrella term. autistic kids have different disorder overlapping. for example. a kid may show symptoms of ADHD and also learning disabilities.
before treatment please make sure the kid doesn't have physical disabilities like hearing..vision..speech problem. sometimes these

continue..
sometimes due to these physical problems..the diagnosis may be misdiagnosed.
treatment for autism.
well it depends on the severity.
since autistic kids have problems in communicating and adopting to the environment.. it's best to expose the child in situations where the child

child interact with other kids under doc supervision.
play therapy.
speech therapy.
Engaging in different activities that activate most parts of the brain.. like drawing..painting. matching color board game.
string and beads game.
the more you interact with the child the more effective
Jharna
results you'll get..
please consult a therapist to know what suits best on your child.
and last as a parent. I know sometimes it's overwhelming to guide a special kid.
but trust the process and be strong and patient as a parent.
