Throughout the colonial period there was a marked shortage of women, which varied with the regions and was always greatest in the frontier areas. This favorable ratio enhanced women??s status and position and allowed them to pursue different careers. The Puritans. the eligious sect that dominated the early british colonies in North America, regarded idleness as a sin, and believed that life in an underdeveloped country made it absolutely necessary that each member of the community perform an economic function. Thus work for women, married or single, was not only approved, it was regarded as a civic duty. Puritan town councils expected widows and unattached women to be selfa2supporting and for a long time provided needy spinsters (?? e??×o) with parcels of land. There was no social sanction(·¨a?￡??)?) against married women working: on the contrary, wives were expected to help their husbands in their trade and won social approval for doing extra work in or out of the home. Needy children, girls as well as boys,were indentured or apprenticed and were expected to work for their keep The vast majority of women worked within their homes, where their labor produccd most articles needed for the family. The entire colonial production of cloth and clothing was in the hands of women. In addition to these occupations, women were found in many different kinds of employment.

The second method, called subtractive, starts with white light (a mixture of all colors in the spectrum) and, by taking away some or all other colors, leaves the one desired. In the additive method, separate colored lights combine to produce various other colors. The three additive primary colors are green, red, and blue (each providing about onea2third of the wavelengths in the total spectrum). Mixed in varying proportions, they can produce all colors Green and red light mix to produce yellow; red and blue light mix to produce magenta: green and blue mix to produce cyan(?ae?). When equal parts of all three of these primarya2colored beams of light overlap, the mixture appears white to the eye. In the subtractive process, colors are produced when dye (as in paint or color photographic materials)absorbs some wavelengths and so passes on only part of the spectrum. The subtractive primaries are cyan (a bluish green), magenta (a purplish pink), and yellow. These are the pigments or dyes that absorb red, green, and blue wavelengths, respectively, thus subtract ing them from white light. These dye colors are the complementary colors to the three additive primaries of red, green, and blue, Properly combined, the subtractive primaries can absorb all colors of light, producing black. But, mixed in varying proportions, they too can produce any color in the spectrum. Whether a particular color is obtained by adding colored lights together or by subtrac ting some light from the total spectrum, the result looks the same to the eye. The additive process was employed for early color photography. But the subtractive method, while requiring complex chemical techniques, has turned out to be more practical and is the basis of all modern color films What does the passage mainly discuss?

They were small, churchaZconnected institutions whose primary concern was to shape the moral character of their students Throughout Europe, institutions of higher learning had developed, bearing the ancient name of university. In Germany a different kind of university had developed. The German university was concerned primarily with creating and spreading knowledge, not morals. Between midcentury and the end of the 1800??s, more than nine thousand young Americans, dissatisfied with their training at home, went to Germany for advanced study. Some of them returned to become presidents of venerable colleges f-Harvard, Yale, Columbia-and transform them into modern universities. The new presidents broke all ties with the churches and brought in a new kind of faculty. Professors were hired for their knowledge of a subject, not because they were of the proper fai th and had a strong arm for disciplining students. The new principle was that a university was to create knowledge as well as pass it on, and this called for a faculty composed of teachera scholars. Drilling and learning by rote were replaced by the German method of lecturing, in which the professor??s own research was presented in class. Graduate training leading to the Ph.

The president of Harvard pioneered the elective system, by which students were able to choose their own courses of study. The notion of major fields of study emerged. The new goal was to make the university relevant to the real pursuits of the world.

Passage 4 There were two widely divergent influences on the early development of statistical methods Statistics had a mother who was dedicated to keeping orderly records of governmental units (state and statistics come from the same Latin root, status) and a gentlemanly gambling father who relied on mathematics to increase his skill at playing the odds in games of chance. The nfluence of the mother on the offspring, statistics, is represented by counting, measuring, describing, tabulating, ordering, and the taking of censuses(13??ey X?)aall of which led to modern descriptive statistics. From the influence of the father came modern inferential statistics which is based squarely on theories of probability. Descriptive statistics involves tabulating, depicting(?e??), and describing collections of data. These data may be quantitative, such as measures of height, intelligence, or grade level f-variables that are characterized by an under lying continuum f -or the data may represent qualitative variables, such as sex, college ma jor, or personality type. Large masses of data must generally undergo a process of summarization or reduction before they are comprehensible. Descriptive statistics is a tool for describing or summarizing or reducing to comprehensible form the properties of an otherwise unwieldy(?6 ou?) mass of data present great difficulties for the unaided human mind. This general class of problems ms that Inferential statistics is a formalized body of methods for solving another class of probl characteristically involves attempts to make predictions using a sample of observations.

D)Teachers should select their students?? courses. Passage 4 There were two widely divergent influences on the early development of statistical methods.Statistics had a mother who was dedicated to keeping orderly records of governmental units (state and statistics come from the same Latin root, status) and a gentlemanly gambling father who relied on mathematics to increase his skill at playing the odds in games of chance. The influence of the mother on the offspring, statistics, is represented by counting, measuring, describing, tabulating, ordering, and the taking of censuses(í3??êy×?)?aall of which led to modern descriptive statistics. From the influence of the father came modern inferential statistics, which is based squarely on theories of probability. Descriptive statistics involves tabulating, depicting(?è??), and describing collections of data. These data may be quantitative,such as measures of height, intelligence, or grade level ￡-variables that are characterized by an underlying continuum￡-or the data may represent qualitative variables, such as sex, college major, or personality type. Large masses of data must generally undergo a process of summarization or reduction before they are comprehensible. Descriptive statistics is a tool for describing or summarizing or reducing to comprehensible form the properties of an otherwise unwieldy(?ó′óμ?) mass of data. Inferential statistics is a formalized body of methods for solving another class of problems that present great difficulties for the unaided human mind. This general class of problems characteristically involves attempts to make predictions using a sample of observations. For example, a school superintendent wishes to determine the proportion of children in a large school system who come to school without breakfast, have been vaccinated for flu, or whatever.

Thus. the purpose of inferential statistics is to predict or estimate characteristics of a population from a knowledge of the characteristics of only a sample of the population.
