Gears Update

It has been a while since my last post and many things have happened since then. For one, I decided to upgrade my laptop as I saw it fit for the direction I am moving towards particularly on data analytics. It's been almost 10 years since I bought "Julian", my first work laptop, and there were so many milestones that we shared together. I bought my first laptop during my second job in Taguig City. It served as an extension of myself as I work to earn for my family particularly in helping my siblings with their education as I am the eldest and breadwinner of the family. That laptop was able to create a joint personnel reporting system excel file which was used by the Philippine Army to be able to account their personnel on a national level during my stint as an Engineer / Researcher in the aforementioned organization. Julian was my laptop when I finished my Master's degree at the Ateneo de Davao University where I also created the Programmable Logic Controller Trainer ...

How to use a z-table

In the following z-table, we are highlighting how to determine the area to the left of z = 2.34. Notice how we separated 2.34 into 2.3 and 0.04. Then, we look for 2.3 in the first column and 0.04 on the first row. The intersection of these two locations in the table will be the p-value to the left of z. This means that P(z < 2.34) = 0.99036. In the following z-table, we are highlighting how to determine the area to the left of z = -1.86. Notice how we separated -1.86 into -1.8 and 0.06. Then, we look for -1.8 in the first column and 0.06 on the first row. The intersection of these two locations in the table will be the p-value to the left of z. This means that P(z < -1.86) = 0.03144. You can find an unblurry version of the z-table at https://www.math.arizona.edu/~rsims/ma464/standardnormaltable.pdf.

Critical z-values table

Here is a list of the most common confidence levels and significance level alphas along with their associated critical z-values: Note: One-tailed significance level alphas are associated with left-tailed and right-tailed tests .

Could this be my first...?

What's up Nixers! In today's blog, I want to discuss with you the things that I did these past two weeks. After my encounter with my colleague, Adonis, one of our discussions focused on the creation of an app that would help ease students' struggles. He was very passionate about an app for a civil engineering application involving beams under load. As our discussions went on, I do acknowledge that if that particular app would be realized, it would really benefit civil engineering students in a profound way. What I liked about the discussion was how the app was described. Like, if I put my self in the user's perspective, the user interface which he discussed would be "user-friendly" as he really understands the flow of how things are to be calculated. As we left and went each other's ways, I was inspired by an idea to create an app utilizing the python programs that I have already developed for statistics. Like, how useful would it be for students to guide ...

Touch Typing at 50 wpm

Finally! I am almost as fast as my speed prior to learning touch typing which is at 55 wpm and reached 50 wpm. I also have not experienced a speed that is lower than 40 wpm in all of the exercises that I did today.

Touch Typing: Speed Improvement

My first ever above 30 at 32 wpm! My final test also improved from 27 wpm to 34 wpm. Done with Speed Building training for today. I tried to do the benchmark 2-minute test and was aiming for 45 wpm. After all, as you try and try the exercise, you'll get accustomed to the paragraphs that were used. It is only a matter of accuracy and speed improvement. Glad I was able to hit the target and even have some extra wpm.
