4. What were the sources of the data collected? For example, who were the participants? What was the sample? What sites for research data collection were used? And/or what documents were studied?
Data was collected from a national sample of adolescent African American, Caucasian, and Latino foster youth. The investigation was guided by three research questions: (1) To what extent do demographic factors, child welfare characteristics, SEB problems, mental health service use, and environmental context influence delinquent outcomes? (2) To what extent does race/ethnicity moderate the relationship between SEB problems and delinquent outcomes, controlling for demographic factors, child welfare characteristics, and environmental context? (3) To what extent does race/ethnicity moderate the relationship between mental health service use and delinquent outcomes, controlling for demographic factors, child welfare characteristics, and environmental context?

Question #2 Describe the scenarios when it would be preferable to use simulation instead of analytical models, and scenarios where it would be preferable to use analytical models instead of simulation. Give examples wherever appropriate. The question on whether to use analytical or simulation approaches has stemmed from the recent advances in computation. Before the advent of powerful computers, analytical approaches were often the only way to solve problems. But recent advances in computation have…

Task 1: (i) Based on this scenario, answer the following questions that are related to the mathematical understanding of the concept: (a) What is the domain and range of h(t)? What is the physical significance of domain and range in this scenario? The domain of h( )h(t) would typically be all real numbers, as time t can theoretically extend indefinitely in both directions. However, in this scenario, the domain might be restricted to non-negative values, as negative time values wouldn't make physical…

of January we have two points (1, 10) and (31, 12) and in the month of February, we have two points (1, 10) and (28, 9). Since the formula to calculate a slope is: Slope (m) is (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) Slope for January is m = (12 - 10) / (31 - 1) m = 2/30 m = 1/15 Slope for February is m = (9 - 10) / (28 -1) m = -1/27 Hence, we are looking for a function of the form f(x) = mx + b. To determine m and b, we use the fact that a stock price goes from $10 to $12 from January 1st to January 31, and from…

A. Introducing the Assignment Every summer I spend a lot of time solving Sudoku a “logic-based number placement puzzle” which is one of my favorite games. I was taught how to solve these mathematical puzzle games five years ago and since then it is a daily routine of mine. I soon realized that mathematics consisted a great part of my everyday life. Yet, I had never thought of the mathematical significance and specifically the logic and mathematical thinking involved when playing this game, something…

Did any of the ideas in the session surprise you? The idea that surprise is how children can open up by questions related to their daily lives. One of children favorite literacy exercise “All about me”. What might you do differently to promote parent involvement? There is not much different approaches that I can think of. Phone calls, emails, flyers, open communication, notes, meetings, assessments, letters to the parents. Lastly, teachers need to keep insisting, in a good way at the times, to…

The polynomials are: -(x+1.241)^5-2.149 using the limits {-2.149 ≤ y ≤ 0} (x-1.759)(1/4 (x-0.959)) (x+1.241)^2-2.149 using the limits {-1.241 ≤ x ≤ 0} x^3/10-1.5 using the limits {-1.5 ≤ y ≤ 0} When plotted, the curves will give a cross section of the pool. This cross section can be seen below in Figure 5. The blue section is Equation 1, the red is Equation 2, and the purple is Equation 3. Figure 6. Cross section of the designed pool.
