Linear Project

For this assignment, collect data exhibiting a relatively linear trend, find the line of best fit, plot the data and the line, interpret the slope, and use the linear equation to make a prediction. Also, find r2 (coefficient of determination) and r (correlation coefficient). Discuss your findings. Your topic may be that is related to sports, your work, a hobby, or something you find interesting. If you choose, you may use the suggestions described below.

Adjacency Lists

In this assessment, you will implement the areTheyConnected function to
search a graph using its adjacency list to determine if one node is
“connected” to another.

For example, consider the following adjacency list:

const adjacencyList = {
  ‘carrie’:  [‘humza’, ‘jun’],
  ‘farrah’:  [‘humza’],
  ‘humza’:  [‘carrie’, ‘farrah’, ‘jun’, ‘silla’],
  ‘jun’:    [‘carrie’, ‘silla’],
  ‘ophelia’: [‘travis’],
  ‘silla’:  [‘humza’, ‘yervand’],
  ‘travis’:  [‘ophelia’],
  ‘ursula’:  [‘travis’],
  ‘victor’:  [],
  ‘yervand’: [‘silla’]
};

Your function will take a starting name and an ending name. Your function
will search the graph to determine if you could get from one name to another.

In this function, as is not usually in real life, these interpersonal
relationships are a one-way street. Look at the entry for “ursula”. You can
find a path between “ursula” and “ophelia” using “ursula” -> “travis” ->
“ophelia”. However, if you were asked to start at “ophelia” and try to get to
“ursula”, that would fail because it goes “ophelia” -> “travis” -> _DEAD
END_.

Given a start name, an end name, and the adjacency list from above, the
following table shows the result and a possible (not necessarily unique) path
that it could find to determine if two names are connected.

| Start name | End name | Result | Example path found by a search    |
|————|———-|——- |———————————–|
| carrie    | carrie    | true    | carrie (it’s the same node)      |
| carrie    | humza  | true    | carrie -> humza                  |
| carrie    | yervand | true    | carrie -> jun -> silla -> yervand |
| ophelia  | ursula    | FALSE  | ophelia -> travis -> FAIL        |
| travis    | carrie    | FALSE  | travis -> ophelia -> FAIL        |
| ursula    | ophelia  | true    | ursula -> travis -> ophelia      |
| victor    | humza  | FALSE  | victory -> FAIL                  |

—————————————————————————–

{Object} adjacencyList – An object that has at least one key, that
being the value of startName. The values of all keys in the adjacencyList are
guaranteed to be arrays.

  {string} startName – The name (node) at which you’ll start your
search.

{string} endName – The name (node) you’re trying to find when starting
your search from startName.

Childhood Development

I have attached the essay instructions below named “Life course essay assignment instructions” in addition to all presentations provided throughout the term. Ignore the due dates on the assignment sheet, these have changed. I doubt most of the presentations/slides are necessary but I’ve added them just in case.

This essay is about the development of an individual given certain life circumstances. Infancy and childhood is the specific age range. Everyone is given a baby and all provided details about the child and their upbringing are listed below. The “wildcard” which is mentioned a few times in the assignment sheet is Low IQ. I have section 1 completed with all given information.

Section 1 Background Information:
Birth: Male, 7 lbs. 14 oz. Japanese Mom and White American Dad. Both work and Zachary will be cared for by Dads sister, who is raising her own twin daughters. Some respiratory distress at birth, but doctors are optimistic.
Childhood:  Low IQ. 

The assignment sheet asks in one or two sections “what does the book say?”.  I can be contacted by email or on here and answer those questions or whatever other questions.

This essay is for a college developmental psychology class taken as an elective.

Martin Luther King Jr

Instructions
Below are links to various speeches by Martin Luther King Jr. I want you to listen to them and reflect on 3 quotes/passages, tying them to our current political era.  All of you know who Martin Luther King Jr. is, but many of you may only know the a particular version of this incredible man. The whitewashing of one of the most prescient voices to ever live is a travesty. King was a radical who called out the evils of racism, poverty, and militarism. King knew that this system of capitalism was the driving force of these evils and called for a move towards democratic socialism. While there has been some progress in certain areas, the totality of what King stood for has been stripped to a more palpable retelling, often ignoring his work that came after I have a dream. We need MLKs politics of working class solidarity against a white supremacist capitalism and militarism today more than ever.
