some generational and cultural conflicts within the family. My parents arrived in the United States during the 1970’s. My brother was born in 1975 and I was born 9 years later.

Nye makes use of an extended metaphor throughout the piece‚ representing herself as skin. This is done in a double entendre sort of way‚ symbolizing a negative connotation in the first stanza and weaving its way into a positive meaning in the last.

Here‚ we describe estimation and hypothesis-testing procedures for the difference between two population means when the samples are dependent. In a case of two dependent samples‚ two data values—one for each sample—are collected from the same source (or element) and‚ hence‚ these are also called paired or matched samples.
