Hands-On Assignment 2

 

Defining Social Media

Media in itself is the main means of mass communication of where digital content is gathered, whether that be broadcasting, publishing, or sources throughout the internet. Social networking involves the particular sources or platforms that allow users to interact with others that hold similar interests. Currently, I tend to use Instagram and Twitter has my main social networking sites, where my main purpose of use is for social networking (interests) and entertainment respectively. Instagram is particular is an app where I share many photos or videos of experiences I have around the world, and I use what I post to try and find others who have also done the same, while Twitter is an app that I will use primarily to keep up with world events, sports entertainment, pop culture, etc. I tend to use both of these apps daily. Additionally, I occasionally use Facebook Marketplace to find things people might be selling, or sell something myself. Though I do not use this as often, I think it is a nice tool to use when I fell like shopping every now and then.

Using social media helps me connect with others in ways that I would never have imagined. With myself specifically, I fell that Twitter helps me understand others opinions' in comparison with my own, and Instagram helps me understand the way other people express their personal experiences. Social media gives me a sense of community, whether that be between my friends, family, or others throughout the world.

  LIS 4317 Final Project: Fuel Economy Data from the U.S Dept. of Energy Investigating the association between vehicle features and CO2 emissions in a dataset comprising fuel efficiency data is the issue statement for my final project. The objective is to ascertain the extent to which CO2 emissions differ among various vehicle classes. In order to evaluate the effects of automobiles on the environment and pinpoint possible areas where fuel efficiency regulations could be strengthened, further investigation is essential. The idea suggests that specific vehicle classes, like larger cars or ones with bigger engines, might have more CO2 emissions than other car classes. This issue is set within the larger framework of transportation research and environmental sustainability. The relationship between vehicle characteristics and emissions, particularly CO2 emissions, has been well studied in the past. Numerous techniques, such as statistical evaluations and graphics, have been used to in...

LIS 4317: Module #13 Assignment

Image
  Module 13 Assignment A powerful visual representation of random sampling from a uniform distribution is provided by the animation produced with the animation package and the R programming language. The animation shows a plot of ten randomly selected values from the uniform distribution in each frame. The y-axis boundaries are always set between 0 and 1 to facilitate comparisons. As the animation goes on, viewers will be able to see how the generated numbers are distributed randomly and with variability; some frames show clustered dots, while others show a more scattered distribution. An interactive and dynamic element can be added to presentations, blog posts, or instructional materials by saving the animation as a GIF. This makes it easily shareable and a useful tool for presenting ideas connected to random sampling.  The plot() method is used to create scatter plots, and the Sys.sleep() function adds a little delay between frames to make sure the animation is visible. The ...

LIS 4370 - Module #3 Data Frame

  Module #3 Data Frame The dataset showed hypothetical results of the 2016 Presidential campaign. The dataset provided had a couple of mistakes that resulted in errors. Original Code: > Name <- c("Jeb", “Donald”, "Ted”, “Marco” “Carly”, “Hillary”, “Berine”) > ABC political poll results <- c(4, 62 51, 21, 2, 14, 15) > CBS political poll results <- c(12, 75, 43, 19, 1, 21, 19)  There  are missing commas in the "Name" vector, as well as in the "ABC political poll results" vector. Additionally, the names of the results vectors were not underscored, therefore they could not be interpreted in R. For the values to be interpreted, the code should look as follows: Modified Code: > Name <- c("Jeb", "Donald", "Ted", "Marco", "Carly", "Hillary", "Bernie") > ABC_political_poll_results <- c(4, 62, 51, 21, 2, 14, 15) > CBS_political_poll_results <- c(12, 75, 43,...
