Water Bill Math Project

My family's average water consumption for the past six months has been 12.5 cubic liters per month. We live in a condo, and the national month average for condos in 16.8 cubic liters. That means my family is 1.344 cubic liters below average.

If I could convince my family to help me, I think we could reduce our water consumption by 20% each month. That would put us at 10 cubic liters, which would actually be a REALLY small amount. The graph below shows my family's water consumption:

This is my five point plan to save more water:

1. Only was full loads
2. Take shorter showers
3. Use dirty bath water on the garden ( a little windowsill one for us)
4. Turn off the tap when brushing your teeth
5.Install low-flow showerheads

              101 people participated in the trial. 54 were in the treatment group. 47 were in the placebo group.      As a part of the FDA, I probably wouldn't approve this medicine. Even thought 100% (101/101) people got better, 11% had side effects. You have specified that that 11% had side effects, but we do not know what the side effects are. We can not approve the medicine until we understand that the side effects aren't harmful, and can be easily cured.            Also, were the participants all in the same nature and stage of the disease when they took the medicine? Did you use a double blind study, or any other method to ensure accuracy and precision? Accuracy and precision is very important during a clinical trial. Did each person in each group receive the same amount of placebo/treatment? The amount of medicine could have made a difference in results. Was the protocol approved by an et...

English Formative Reflection: Q1

 FORMATIVE LANGUAGE REFLECTION  My punctuation in all the sentence types are correct in all of the sentence types, but I could improve by being more precise. In both my complex and compound-complex sentences, I put an "of how" after my DMW in both. Removing this could definitely make my points more concise and more believable to a reader. Next time, I'd like to challenge myself by experimenting with different structures within the sentences. For joining independent clauses, I like to use the semicolon followed by a coordinating conjunction method. I would like to challenge myself next time to use FANBOYS instead, which would make my writing easier on the eye and would also make it more concise.  FORMATIVE SPEAKING REFLECTION The best part of the discussion was the "meat" of the discussion itself. Everyone came prepared, everyone had stuff to say with evidence to back it up. I feel we really got to broader ideas and it was fabulous. On the flip side...
