An Exploration of Possible Extraterrestrial Life in the Universe‚ Perhaps Our Own System Other life in the universe just makes sense. Think about it‚ there are trillions of other stars in existence in our universe‚ and most of those stars have satellites‚ and those satellites have satellites. There are literally hundreds of trillions‚ if not more‚ planets or planet-sized satellites orbiting stars. To think that none of these

While renewable resources such as hydroelectric‚ solar‚ and wind energy are worthy substitutes‚ they are not yet ready to meet

adjusted to? Why? 3. Suppose the mean cannot be adjusted‚ but the standard deviation can be reduced. What maximum value of the standard deviation would make 90% of the parts acceptable to the consumer? (Assume the mean to be 1.012.) 4. Repeat question 3‚ with 95% and 99% of the pins acceptable. 5. In practice‚ which one do you think is easier to adjust‚ the mean or the standard deviation? Why? The production manager then considers the costs involved. The cost of resetting the machine to adjust

Question 4 How consistent were Bismarck’s aims and methods from 1862 to 1871? The key word in this question about Bismarck was ‘consistent’. Most of the answers deployed accurate knowledge about developments from 1862 to 1871.
