We recently had the King of Hearts court nominations, where a survey was sent out instructing us to choose five male students we would like to nominate for the court. The population that the survey was intended to reach was the senior class. Instead of choosing a sample of the population, the survey was sent to almost the whole population, since the senior class is not that large. There has been some issues with the survey dealing with non-response -- some students did not fill out their survey because they did not want to vote. There was also undercoverage occurring because the students that were absent that day were not reached.

I was watching TV and I saw a commercial for Proactiv with celebrity Julianne Hough. She was promoting the product by talking about how Proactiv cleared up her acne. This is anecdotal evidence because it is not based on factual information, rather a person's own personal experience and recommendation. It cannot logically be proven by this commercial that Proactiv successfully removes acne for everyone. However, people will buy the product because the evidence of a celebrity using the product and enjoying it is striking.

I found this graph via Stumbleupon of the top 50 non-religious nations. This bar graph portrays categorical variables, which places an individual into one of several categories, not numbers. The categories in this case are non-religious and atheist. Another statistical connection is that when the graph is turned on its side, it is skewed to the right.

Since I am interested in becoming an early childhood educator, I looked up the salary of a kindergarten teacher and found the average salary was $50,000 a year. Average salaries are a common example of mean, or average.

"Name Statistics"

This interesting page I found in Stumbleupon gave a list of the most common first names and last names. You can also search you first or last name and the website tells you how common your name is ranked and the percentage of people who share your name in the U.S. This is an example of available data because it is from data produced in the past but can be used to answer a present question.

Our health is not just a byproduct of how we live. It's also about where we live. Just ask the residents of these 10 cities.

A truly healthy city makes it easy for residents to adopt a healthful lifestyle, whether it's by providing quality health care, encouraging preventive medicine or reducing air pollution. These cities top our list because they shine in one or more areas of good health.

The leaders of these cities have implemented laws and policies that ensure locals have access to parks, nutritious food and public transportation. They've created innovative programs to combat disease and increased the quality of life for residents long into old age.

But of course, good health isn't just up to the government. Citizen engagement is also crucial when it comes to creating a healthy community.

In response to a query from CNN iReport, residents of Napa, California, and other cities around the globe told us how their city inspires good health and why they strive to make wellness a priority. From line dancing to surfing rivers to life-size games of chess, they show us that staying active doesn't have to be a chore.

So take a quick trip around the globe with The CNN 10 and pick up a tip or two from these healthy cities. Your body and mind will thank you.

SpongeBob "Funny Pants" Episode

In this episode, Squidward gets tired of Spongebob laughing, so he tricks Spongebob into thinking he has a disease where if he laughs one more time in the next 24 hours, his laugh box will explode and he will never laugh again. D espite his best efforts, Spongebob accidentally laughs and the next day believes he has lost his inability to laugh. The condition was obviously fake, but Spongebob's belief that it will actually happen caused him to lose his ability to laugh. This is an example of the placebo effect, where a "dummy" treatment is given to a subject and the subject's response is due only to the belief in the treatment's effectiveness.

"Relationships between class size and teaching: A multimethod analysis of English infant schools"

I came across this when I was researching for a paper about the effects of class size on education. This study was done for information on the relationship between class size and teaching interactions. The study was longitudinal, lasting for three years and involving a large sample of over 10,000 children. A sample is a part of the population that is examined in order to get information. In this case, the population would be students.

probability, since it states that the chance of having

precipitation today is only 50% likely. Probability is

the likelihood that something will happen.

"10 Psychological Experiments that Went Horribly Wrong"

http://www.stumbleupon.com/su/2JVXx0/12GrHQrR@:qVW5HI@u/brainz.org/10-psychological-experiments-went-horribly-wrong

This article showed 10 experiments dealing with psychology that were cruel, strange, and got out of control. These included various famous experiments, such as the case of Tusko, the elephant that was injected with 3,000 times the normal human dose of LSD. The elephant died almost immediately, instead of showing the effects of aggressiveness from the drug. These were all extreme experiments. Experiments, unlike observational studies, deliberately imposes treatment on individuals to observe their responses.

"The 10 Healthiest Cities" from CNN

I found this article when searching for a current event for German class. The top ten healthiest cities in the world have been determined by residents of cities around the world responding to a CNN survey. The survey asked them how their cities inspire good health and prioritize wellness. A survey asks questions to collect data from a sample to gather information about a population.
