We'Re going to find the probability that x is between 38 percent and 50.7 percent. Divided by 16 point 87 is less than c, which is less than 56 point 9 minus 50.7, divided by 16.87. Actually excuse me x is between 50.7 and 56.9, so that would be the probability of 50 point. We'Re going to find the probability that x is between 56 point 9. We have a mean of 50.7 and a standard deviation of 16 point 87. Make sure to draw a picture of the normal curve and shade the ranges identified in each question. Remember that the mean district percentage with a standard deviation of 16.87 percentage points was 50.7. What is the range around the mean that contains 80% of the districts?īarney Frank (44.6 percent Republican) Don Young (69.2 percent Republican) Using the same data as in your previous question, calculate the probability that a district's percentage will lie within one standard deviation of the mean. What is the probability that a district will have a Republican vote of either more than John Boehner (X = 68.6%) or less than Nancy Pelosi (X = 16.0%) percent of the districts? What is the probability that a district will have a Republican majority (X > 50.0%)? What is the probability that a district will have a Republican percentage between Michele Bachmann (X = 56.9%) and Barney Frank (X = 44.6%)? What is the probability that a district will have Republican Nita Lowey (X = 38.0%) and the mean percentage between them? What is the probability that a district will have Michele Bachmann (X = 56.9%) and the percentage between the mean? Ian McLean is the Hugh Ramsay Chair of Australian Art History at University of Melbourne.SOLVED: Barney Frank (44.6 percent Republican) Don Young (69.2 percent Republican) Using the same data as in your previous question, calculate the probability that a district's percentage will lie within one standard deviation of the mean. The spear is more than a sharpened wooden shaft: it announces ancestral presence. … Sometimes I hear the Tirkilpa today it is a different battle today but the fight is real for us. A long time ago this noise would be heard before a battle begins. We have a technique where we roll spears over each other to make this noise. We (Anangu) have a word for the rattle of the spears that word is Tirkilpa.

Completing the installation was a sound work made by acclaimed Indigenous composer David Page, of the noise of spears in flight and singing, and a wall text by Burton: The installation format was jointly realised by Burton, who worked with a model in Amata, with advice from Jonathan Jones, who had joined the project in 2012, and curators at the Art Gallery of South Australia. The first outcome was at the Adelaide Biennale in 2014, Dark Heart, in which 260 spears were suspended vertically as if frozen in flight just before hitting the ground. Burton also wanted contemporary art outcomes in which the Pitjantjatjara elders had control. The spear’s role in settling disputes and cementing social identity was central to the project, as the wider political context was garnering agency in the face of modernity’s advance. Keen to use it as a means to strengthen culture, Hector Burton – a senior Pitjantjatjara artist at Tjala Arts, Amata – began a collaborative painting project with the young men, which culminated in two exhibitions he curated at Raft Artspace in Alice Springs in 20.Īt the same time, his brother, Willy Kaika Burton, led the Kulata Tjuta project to teach the young men what his father had taught him: to make spears. But what was new soon became old, and by 2010 the men had joined the painting movement. Renowned for their adherence to tradition, Pitjantjatjara men at Alice Springs, in 1974, threw spears at an exhibition of the new Papunya Tula paintings to express their anger at this transgression of revealing secret knowledge to the uninitiated. It resounds in their songs and the rattling of their spears. When the Papunya Tula artist Turkey Tolson Tjupurrula painted the story of a confrontation between two groups of men, his focus was the straightening of the spears: the men gathering in communion around the fire to collectively renew their social contract. It speaks the language of the ancestral, of the tjukurrpa (law). And like birds, spears fly and sing, and must be listened to. Well before the dog, the domesticated tree was man’s best friend. Slowly coaxed into being over coals, the sapling is cooked into a spear, straight and true. Īmong the most ancient of human artefacts, a well-made spear is as much a subject as an object. One spear is a beautiful thing 260 spears flying in unison, ‘like a dark cloud across country’, is awesome.
