Individuals and Variables Individuals: the objects described by a set of data Variable: Any characteristic of an individual Categorical Variable: places an individual into one of several groups or categories Quantitative Variable: Takes numerical values for which it makes sense to find an average. Not every that takes numerical value is quantitative: Zip Code Distribution: tells us what values the variables takes and how often it takes these values How to Explore Data Exam each variable by itself, then study the relationship between each

Hardy-Weinberg problem set Hardy-Weinberg Theorem states that if a population is NOT evolving then the frequencies of the alleles in the population will remain stable across generations - it is in equilibrium. We can use the Hardy-Weinberg equation to make predictions about the relative frequency of the different alleles (as well as the associated genotypes), even if there is population growth, as long as the five conditions we discussed in class hold true. Think about what those five conditions are......... no mutations, no natural selection, no gene flow, large population size, random mating Alternatively, Hardy-Weinberg equation can be a means to determine if a population is indeed evolving - that the allele frequencies are changing and therefore NOT at

Overview As an academic field, American government encompasses not only the study of the systems, institutions, and policies of the United States government but also the political ideals and beliefs of the American people. The field falls within the broader discipline of political science, the study of government and power. Students and scholars of American government try to answer questions concerning the political culture, the distribution of power, decision-making processes, government policies, and laws, among other issues and behaviors. American government and political science often overlap with other social sciences, including economics, psychology, sociology, and anthropology.

Terms and Definitions Accuracy - The extent to which an experimental result agrees with a known or correct value. British System - A system of units, rather arbitrarily based. It is the system of units primarily used by the United States. It is not the system of units used in science (see metric system). Conversion tables reside in the "Reference" pull-down menu at the top of most SparkNotes pages. Metric system - A standardized system of units based on 10. Generally, the measurement system used in science, and in everyday life through most of the world (but not in the United States, which uses the British system). Precision - The extent to which an experiment is reproducible.
