there is a set of twins on the island named Sam and Eric. However, when describing them, Golding regularly refers to them as "Samneric." How does this way of describing the twins relate to their behavior and the way that readers understand their charectors? What examples of their behavior help readers see that samneric is really the apropreate way to refer to them?

Hey I need to calculate the sample Size needed for a 95% CI for this problem. I am trying to help my brother with his homework but I have not taken Stats for like 3 years. So any help would be great!
A bank manager wants to determine the percent of the time his tellers are working and idle. He decides to use work sampling, and his initial estimate is that the tellers are idle for 20% of the time. Approximately how many observations should be taken to be 95% confident that the results will not be more than 5% away from the true results?

I got a result of 62, but that’s not one of the options.

Thanks in advance!

In the following article, what meanind does holistic approach have??? also, how does holistic approach related to students?

We all know the most famous line in movies
when Rhett Butler said to Scarlett O’Hara,
“Frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn,” but
another Butlerian comment to that same
southern belle carries a lot more meaning:
“What most people don’t seem to realize is
that there is just as much money to be made
out of the wreckage of a civilization as
from the upbuilding of one...I’m making
my fortune out of the wreckage.”
Today, as we close out the millennium
in a time of prosperity, it’s clear that the
wreckage of society is coming in many
forms, among them the continual erosion of
language. Indeed, language skills are at their
lowest ebb ever. For the past 30 years, edu-
cators have come up with every reason why
not to teach spelling, grammar, and punctu-
ation in favour of a “holistic” approach to
learning. The result is an entire generation
of people who aren’t up to snuff on basics.
Item. Earlier last year, an American televi-
sion news announcer—whose name I didn’t
catch—was commenting on the Senate
impeachment hearings, and what she said
still boggles my mind. “It’s just getting inter-
esting-er and interesting-er.”
Now she was young and pretty and if
those were the only requirements for a tele-
vision news announcer in the ’90s, terrific,
but it would be nice if they know some-
thing about words too. With her hair neatly
coiffed and her colours perfectly coordinat-
ed for the camera, she had the temerity to
coin a comparative right up there with fasci-
natinger, remarkabler, and tremendouser
and if we made these words superlatives,
we’d have fascinatingest, remarkablest, and
tremendousest.
She’s not alone. Spelling errors and bad
grammar are increasingly common in ads
and newspapers, never mind the Internet,
which is the best place to learn how not to
spell. Author Tom Wolfe calls the Internet
a “great time waster,” but he’s 68 and what
does he know? Maybe more than we think.
His colleague, Gore Vidal, once said:
“Fewer and fewer young people are addict-
ed to reading. If they don’t get into it from
the time they are 10 or 12 years old, they’ll
never enjoy reading, and if you don’t enjoy
reading, there goes literature. Literature is
still the most profound of arts, but its prog-
nosis is very bad.” Vidal said this six years
ago when the Internet was just coming out
of the embryo and now that it’s a child, our
young read even less than they did back in
’94, opting to surf instead.
In the middle of the last century, Alexis
de Tocqueville wrote in Democracy in America
that the future would result in an egalitarian
dismissal of excellence. Well, guess what?
The future is here! While companies like
Microsoft and IBM keep telling us about
the benefits of the Internet, who stops to
think that maybe no one is really benefit-
ing—except Microsoft and IBM?
Any parent with kids in high school
knows that standards aren’t what they used
to be. I teach writing to public relations stu-
dents in college, some of them with univer-
sity degrees and many from other countries.
Without fail, the ones with the worst profi-
ciency in English are those who were edu-
cated in Canada. Not Jamaica, Algeria, or
Russia. Canada.
A Canadian-educated student up on
grammar is a diamond in the rough; it’s usu-
ally due to a grade 9 English teacher who
went against the grain and stressed what the
curriculum abandoned.
What do you do with 20-year-olds who
are just learning the basics? I give them
some standard punctuation and the parts of
speech, tell them to toss “spellcheck” and
“grammarcheck” out the window, and take a
look at George Orwell’s “Six Rules of Good
Writing.” (Some of them have actually heard
of Orwell.) (See sidebar.) Come to think of
it, professionals could use these rules too.
Rules aside, it is also a good idea to
study both good and bad communicators.
Former US Secretary of State Alexander
Haig (“a dialectic fashion at one end of the
spectrum”), aspiring presidential candidate
Dan Quayle (“We Republicans understand
the importance of bondage between a
mother and child”), and many of our lead-
ers in Canada (anything Jean Chrétien says)
are all poor communicators. Winston
Churchill and Martin Luther King, on the
other hand, were wonderful. Unfortunately,
male cadavers are unyielding of testimony.
Huh? Sorry. I mean, “Dead men don’t talk.”
But that’s not really true. Their speeches
survive. Why not have a look?

Language Out, Style In
JERRY AMERNIC
Six Rules of Good
Writing
GEORGE ORWELL (with addition-
al comments by JERRY AMERNIC)
1.
Never use a figure of
speech which you are not used
to seeing in print. This brings to
mind techies who use “connec-
tivity,” “multi-tasking,” and
“design methodology” when
they should just try to speak
plain English.
2.
Never use a long word
where a short one will do. A
popular phrase like “home
sweet home” would never have
lasted if the original was “resi-
dence sweet residence.”
3.
If it’s possible to cut out a
word, always cut it out. Lawyers
are especially guilty of breaking
this rule. Example. “If the com-
pany revises this policy form
with respect to policy revisions,
endorsements or rules by which
the insurance hereunder could
be extended or broadened with-
out additional premium charge,
such insurance as is afforded
hereunder shall be extended or
broadened effective immediate-
ly upon approval or acceptance
of such revision during the poli-
cy by the appropriate insurance
supervisory authority.” Doesn’t
it work better this way? “We
will automatically give you the
benefits of any extension of this
policy if the change doesn’t
require additional cost.” By the
way, the word count dropped
from 59 to 20, so a pox on all
those history and English
majors who think it’s better to
use more words.
4.
Never use the passive
where you can use the active.
This is any politician’s pet
peeve; be vague and don’t take
responsibility for anything (and
your writing will be as exciting
as a Hansard debate).
5.
Never use a foreign phrase,
a scientific word or jargon word
if you can think of an everyday
English equivalent. (See lawyer
example in No. 3).
6.
Break any of these rules
sooner than say anything out-
right barbarous. In other words,
a good lead with 18 words is
still better than a bad one with
15, but we should still strive to
say more with less.
