Google your state’s Powerball or mega millions and calculate the probability of winning the jackpot. Most sites report odds instead of probability, so you’ll need to do a simple conversion.Share a link that takes us to the odds information on your state’s Powerball or mega millions.In your original post, answer the following:Create a probability table for this distributionWhat is your expected gain or loss from playing?If you played 100 times how much would you expect to win or lose?After looking at this information and doing a few calculations, would you play?  Why or why not?Is it binomial?  I’ll leave this for you to investigate and explain.

ENGL 1130Spring 2021Research Paper AssignmentThis class will culminate in a research paper on a topic of your choosing related to some aspect of emerging adulthood within the parameters outlined here. We will spend the rest of the semester working on aspects of this paper, so the sooner you choose a topic, the sooner you can start working toward writing it.Purpose:The purpose of this paper is for you to demonstrate that you can create relevant context for an identifiable audience, and convey solid understanding of a topic that is informed by academic research. The final paper should show that you can find and incorporate secondary sources, properly cite them, both in-text and in the bibliography, and use skills such as summary, synthesis, and analysis to produce a paper with a clear argument. Successfully writing this paper will demonstrate that you have met all of the objectives for this course.Content:Identify a problem, concern, challenge, or opportunity facing some group of emerging adults. Provide background information and context for understanding this problem, including who this group of emerging adults is, and how we should approach it. Keep in mind, part of this paper will be defining your terms, including the nature of the issue, evidence of the scale or scope of the problem, the group of emerging adults most affected by it, and who should address it (parents, emerging adults, teachers, tech companies, legislatures, etc.). Your paper must include a solid argument and be grounded in academic research and supported with data.Your paper should address the following:Define the problem/issue/challenge/opportunity facing some group of emerging adults. What is it? What evidence is there that this is not just a pet concern of yours, but is something that affects a measurable group of emerging adults? Explain relevant context so that we can understand the nature of this problem and why it matters.Define the group. Who is this sub-group of emerging adults? What do we know about them? Why does this group deserve our attention?Define the impact. How do we measure the impact this problem/challenge/opportunity has on this group of emerging adults? Does it affect all of them equally, irrespective of age, gender, geography, social class, ethnicity, education, or other similar factors? Are some hit harder than others? How, in what ways, are they affected? How do we know? Use data to quantify this problem.What should we do about it? This question actually contains two. Who should do something about it? (Parents? Legislators? Teachers? Universities? Emerging adults? Coaches?) What evidence is there that we can/should do better? I want to see some evidence-driven approaches that could produce better outcomes for this group.Anticipate and address 2 counterarguments. These counterarguments can appear in any part of the paper, including how you define the group, the problem, the nature of the concern, or what to do about it.As a result, your paper will present an argument—grounded in academic evidence—in favor of some kind of response that some group of people should make to remedy or ameliorate a problem facing some portion of emerging adults.Sources:The paper may include as many of our class readings as you wish, but you must have 8 academic sources that do not come from our course. Academic sources include: scholarly books, book chapters, and articles in peer-reviewed journals. Newspaper articles, advertisements, websites, tweets, blog posts, examples from popular culture and the like are welcome, but do not count toward the 8 outside academic sources. All citations—both in-text and in the works cited—should be consistent, in MLA format.Organization:Each paper will vary in the amount of space it gives to each of these, but all papers should incorporate the following information:introduction to the paperthesis statementrelevant context/background informationyour argument and supporting evidence, including data2 counterargumentssatisfying conclusion that does not merely restate the introduction or summarize the paper, but instead explains why this topic/your argument matters or where we go from here.Specs:At least 8 pages in length (Note: bibliography does not count toward the page limit)Double-spaced1″ margins on all sidesTimes New Roman12-point fontIncludes page numbersMLA formatValue:In order to break this paper into manageable steps, you will complete a series of scaffolded assignments, which are designed to help you to research and write this paper. They will consist in the following:Quizzes (2 @ 4% each) 8%Annotated Bib 6%Source Synthesis 10%Context Paper & outline 10%Research Paper 21%Total: 55%Notes:No two students can work on the same topic. I must approve all topics. Please reach out to me if you are having difficulty finding a topic. I enjoy helping students to find a topic that they will enjoy researching and writing.I must see this paper in progress. I will not accept your research paper if you have not also handed in the annotated bibliography, the source synthesis, and the context paper/outline.

Kay Haugaard, a professor at Pasadena City College, has taught creative writing since 1970. A few years ago she led a class discussion on the short story “The Lottery” by Shirley Jackson. In the story, a seemingly normal village carries out a bizarre ritual involving human sacrifice. She expected the usual shocked reactions from her students, but instead, the students’ attitudes prompted her to write an article called “Suspending Moral Judgment”. The following are highlights from the article.Haugaard discovered she was teaching a room full of moral relativists who believed that the ritual might be all right “if it’s a part of a person’s culture . . . and if it has worked for them.” To Haugaard’s horror, she realized that “no one in the whole class of twenty ostensibly intelligent individuals would go out on a limb and take a stand [even] against human sacrifice.” The very mentality that Jackson’s story warns us about—“the dangers of being totally accepting followers, too cowardly to rebel against obvious cruelties and injustices”—had become the mentality of this group of intelligent college students. “I was shaken, and I thought that the author, whose story had shocked so many, would have been shaken as well”.Haugaard believed that the views of her students on right and wrong “had been dulled by the rhetoric of moral neutrality” and she was mortified by “the danger of just ‘going along’ with something habitually, without examining its rationale and values”. In her final statement Haugaard says,“The class finally ended. It was a warm night when I walked to my car after class that evening, but I felt shivery, chilled to the bone. . . ”“These changes in moral perceptions and attitudes have been stunning… Absent was a general outcry of indignation. . . My generation is uncomfortable assessing, or even asking, whether a moral wrong has taken place.” AssignmentYour task is to consider Haugaard’s point of view. Do you believe that our society is made up of “totally accepting followers, too cowardly to rebel against obvious cruelties and injustices”? In general, are we “uncomfortable assessing, or even asking, whether a moral wrong has taken place”?In your response, besure to include the following:At least one quote from the short story “The Lottery”Organized ideas using paragraph structureApplication of ideas to real life situations500 words, two pages maximum, typed, double-spacedA rough copy and a good copyUse MLA format.
