Thomas Sowell's (1987) writings from his book, A Conflict of Visions: Ideological Origins of Political Struggles, speaks to the significant differences associated with constrained and unconstrained visions.
Please take some time to consider the following - if someone retains a constrained vision, how important are cultural traditions? How does someone with an unconstrained vision view the role of cultural traditions?
And finally, why is this important to a student of critical thinking? Consider when you are interacting with another person - trying to sort out their position, beliefs, etc.

The American Heart Association is about to conduct an anti-smoking campaign and wants to know the fraction of Americans over 42 who smoke.
Step 2 of 2:
Suppose a sample of 897 Americans over 42 is drawn. Of these people, 637 don't smoke. Using the data, construct the 95%confidence interval for the population proportion of Americans over 42 who smoke. Round your answers to three decimal places.

Two aeroplanes with the same specification each that has an engine rotates at 2000 rpm with the moment of inertia for all rotating parts is 420 (kg)(m^2). The engine rotates anti-clockwise when viewed from the front. One of the aeroplanes turn to the left and the other turn to the right. Compare the magnitude and effect of the gyroscopic action resulting on the plane if the turning radius is 2000 m at a speed of 2000 km/h.

Effective managers stay abreast of current HR topics. Here are a few....... global HRM, labor relations, social media, whistleblower rules, e-HRM/self-service the knowledge economy, outsourcing pros and cons, managing four different generations in the workforce, increasing age of the workforce, employee privacy, the glass ceiling, implications of baby boomer retirements, immigration, social responsibility, elder care, executive pay, and alternative work arrangements. Select three topics from the list above (or choose other current topics that are not included). Research each topic. For each of your three chosen topics, provide a bulleted list of four or five relevant points that you believe have significance for line managers.

You are the foreman of the Bar-S cattle ranch in Colorado. A neighboring ranch has calves for sale, and you are going to buy some calves to add to the Bar-S herd. How much should a healthy calf weigh? Let x be the age of the calf (in weeks), and let y be the weight of the calf (in kilograms). x 1 5 11 16 26 36 y 39 47 73 100 150 200 Complete parts (a) through (e), given Σx = 95, Σy = 609, Σx2 = 2375, Σy2 = 81,559, Σx y = 13,777, and r ≈ 0.997.
(a) Make a scatter diagram of the data. (Select the correct graph.) A scatter diagram with 6 points is graphed on the x y coordinate plane.
The points are located at (1, 39), (5, 47), (11, 73), (16, 100), (26, 150), (36, 200). When considering the data points as a whole, the points are loosely gathered into a mass that is lower on the left and higher on the right. A scatter diagram with 6 points is graphed on the x y coordinate plane.
The points are located at (1, 29), (5, 37), (11, 63), (16, 90), (26, 140), (36, 190). When considering the data points as a whole, the points are loosely gathered into a mass that is lower on the left and higher on the right. A scatter diagram with 6 points is graphed on the x y coordinate plane.
The points are located at (3, 29), (7, 37), (13, 63), (18, 90), (28, 140), (38, 190). When considering the data points as a whole, the points are loosely gathered into a mass that is lower on the left and higher on the right. A scatter diagram with 6 points is graphed on the x y coordinate plane.
The points are located at (3, 39), (7, 47), (13, 73), (18, 100), (28, 150), (38, 200). When considering the data points as a whole, the points are loosely gathered into a mass that is lower on the left and higher on the right. (b) Verify the given sums Σx, Σy, Σx2, Σy2, Σx y, and the value of the sample correlation coefficient r. (For each answer, enter a number. Round your value for r to three decimal places.) Σx = Σy = Σx2 = Σy2 = Σx y = r =
(c) Find x bar, and y bar. Then find the equation of the least-squares line y hat = a + b x. (For each answer, enter a number. Round your answers for x bar and y bar to two decimal places. Round your answers for a and b to three decimal places.) x bar = x bar = y bar = y bar = y hat = value of a coefficient + value of b coefficient x
(d) Graph the least-squares line. Be sure to plot the point (x bar, y bar) as a point on the line. (Select the correct graph.) A line and a point are graphed on the x y coordinate plane. The point is located the approximate point (15.8, 102). The line enters the window at approximately y = 171 on the positive y axis, goes down and right, passes through the approximate point (15.8, 102), and exits the window at approximately x = 39.1 on the positive x axis. A line and a point are graphed on the x y coordinate plane. The point is located the approximate point (15.8, 132). The line enters the window at approximately y = 201 on the positive y axis, goes down and right, passes through the approximate point (15.8, 132), and exits the window in the first quadrant. A line and a point are graphed on the x y coordinate plane. The point is located the approximate point (15.8, 132). The line enters the window at approximately y = 56 on the positive y axis, goes up and right, passes through the approximate point (15.8, 132), and exits the window in the first quadrant. A line and a point are graphed on the x y coordinate plane. The point is located the approximate point (15.8, 102). The line enters the window at approximately y = 26 on the positive y axis, goes up and right, passes through the approximate point (15.8, 102), and exits the window in the first quadrant.
(e) Find the value of the coefficient of determination r2. What percentage of the variation in y can be explained by the corresponding variation in x and the least-squares line? What percentage is unexplained? (For each answer, enter a number. Round your answer for r2 to three decimal places. Round your answers for the percentages to one decimal place.) r2 = explained = % unexplained = %
