Graphing and Describing Data in everyday Life Irrespective of the nature and types of items being organized and represented, a list can be quickly interpreted and referenced when classified using a cumulative frequency distribution table. A cumulative frequency distribution table is a data organization and representation technique that uses a table to relatively associate an item or a variable with the number of times it appears and its weight in the list (Fisher and Marshall, 2019). It is preferred to a relative frequency table because of its additional descriptive statistics such as cumulative frequency and midpoints. A cumulative frequency distribution table is the most appropriate technique for organizing and representing a list of all injuries in a clinic in one month as well as patients’ waiting time. In both datasets, the time would be given as grouped data. For the dataset on injuries, the time would be provided in days, while for a dataset on patients’ waiting period, it would be given in minutes. Each row would associate a particular class with its midpoint, the associated frequency, relative frequency, and…
Pros of rural lifestyle Today, the majority of the world’s population lives in towns and cities, which is only expected to increase to a daunting figure, as research suggests. People live in both urban and rural areas, but which one is a more preferable choice. Living in rural areas is undoubtedly a blessing as it has countless benefits concerning the human body. However, some people argue that life in urban areas is a necessity in today’s world as it provides a number of options for job purposes. Nonetheless, a rural lifestyle is a recommended option as it allows one to lead a healthy and active life and is provides a pollution-free environment. The countryside areas are full of fresh air, forests, and streams. These elements of nature are not only a beautiful sight for the human eye, but it also allows a person to live a healthy life.

Is the good life found in pursuing happiness? Happiness can be defined as a feeling of positive goodness. The cause of happiness is indefinable as the causes of happiness for different individuals vary a lot (Veenhoven, 5. Generally, it is borne of emotion. A lot of research has been conducted to come up with an understanding of what real happiness is and whether good life is found by pursuing happiness. Happiness is essential to people, and although its definition is subjective, it has been found that happiness gives life a better meaning. Different sources and articles can reveal the perceptions of different people on happiness, and why happiness is of essence to different people. An excellent example of this is the speech by Frank Stephens at the United Nations. Stephens noted that he has down syndrome, but he still finds his life worth living. This is somewhat unexpected as many people associate ill health with a lack of happiness in life. Stephens’ speech helps give another perspective of what happiness is, and it also shows the divide that exists…
Power, Privilege, Discipline, Punishment, and Performance Themes of power, privilege, discipline, punishment, and performance are evident in the analysis of prison-industrial complex and probation practices from the poem “Probation.” The prison-industrial complex system involves shifting the management of prisons from the federal government to private corporations. Prisoners are denied privileges they should have within jails and work for private companies. Working for organizations is secondary punishment to such prisoners as there is no compensation, health benefits, or insurance. Instilling discipline in prisons has gone beyond the normal ways of exploitation. In this case, probation programs limit an individual’s power and privileges to their lives. Also, performance in social and voting processes among the prisoners is no longer available once they are imprisoned. Theories used in prisons to rectify behavior apply to my life situations, although some are extreme to the victims, they have shaped my beliefs, morals, and practices. Probation relies on the theory of close surveillance of an individual to promote the right conduct. During probation, an individual is directed to act morally and…
