Are both batting average and earned-run average associated with winning percentage? Which, would you say, is more strongly associated with it? Why?

/in /by

This exercise gives you the chance to examine an age old social science dispute: whether hitting or pitching wins ball games. Help shed light on this dispute by, again, turning to a recent almanac, this time to collect winning percentages, team batting averages, and team earned-run averages for all the teams in either the American or the National League for one year. Use data collection techniques similar to those you used for the last two exercises, this time collecting data on three variables, rather than two. Moreover,you should use the data analysis technique so for exercise, this time examining the relationship between winning percentage and team batting average, on the one hand, and winning percentage and team earned-run average, on the other. Are both batting average and earned-run average associated with winning percentage? Which, would you say, is more strongly associated with it? Why? Write a brief essay in which you state how your analysis bears on this research question.

What relevance do you believe Gilgamesh has for humans today? Do you think this epic served a purpose in Mesopotamian cultures from the perspective of Dr Harari’s argument of shared fiction/imagined order, and if so, how?

What relevance do you believe Gilgamesh has for humans today? Do you think this epic served a purpose in Mesopotamian cultures from the perspective of Dr Harari’s argument of shared fiction/imagined order, and if so, how? What questions do you have about the epic?

Although Sapiens is not officially part of your subsequent reading, we will refer back to the concepts discussed by Dr Harari throughout this course. To recap a few of the principles, we have read:

That the truly unique feature of Homo sapiens’ language is the ability to transmit information about things that do not exist and the ability to speak about fiction.* That the approach that views cultures as infecting human hosts and living on even after death is called memetics (in the humanities, post-modernism; in the social sciences, game theory).That the ability to transmit information about things such as tribal spirits, nations, limited liability companies, and human rights allows for cooperation between very large numbers of strangers and rapid innovation of social behavior.
That the imagined order is inter-subjective, embedded in the material world, and shapes our desires, therefore we are convinced that our particular order is not imagined.That the three universal orders are economic, imperial, and religious. As you read through the summaries of Mesopotamia, Africa & Egypt, and the Hebrews, the concepts listed above should start to make sense beyond the theoretical/philosophical.

– “Core Assessment: Research Proposal” Learning Outcomes 1. Describe and illustrate each step in the research cycle, both for laboratory and field research; and discriminate among the choices that must be made at each stage. 2. Apply the principles of the scientific method to social science research. 3. Operationalize a theoretical question or practical concern as a testable hypothesis. 4. Critically analyze and evaluate a research literature and then to build new research upon the foundation it provides. 5. Apply the fundamental aspects of measurement and construct variables based on those principles. 6. Identify and differentiate basic research designs and determine which is appropriate for a given research problem. 7. Identify the principles of probabilistic, nonprobabilistic, and multistage samples, and determine which is appropriate for a research problem. 8. Explain and justify the use of quantitative, qualitative and multimethod data gathering techniques. 9. Apply the principles of ethical research.
