Primary Source Analysis
To help with this assignment, you may find it useful to think about: how historians select and interpret evidence; how one's world view, or point of view, affects the interpretation of evidence; how these points of view create history; and how historians use primary sources to construct a history of Canada.
Cite Source, title, author of original source or and where you found it (i.e. if in collection cite collection).
Describe content; very briefly describe the source. For example: "I chose a journal entry of a woman living in Acadia in 1756."
Relevance of Source, This is the key part of assignment. Explain the historical significance of the source. How does the source aid in the understanding of the time period. How does it compliment the textbooks coverage of the event, person, or place? Do not report verbatim on what the source says but instead focus on why it is relevant to historians attempting to understand the period.
Here is a guide for what you should cover;
• Who is the author
• Why did he or she write the source?
• Who was the intended audience?
• Are there any unspoken assumptions in the text?
• Is there a detectable world view?
• When was the source created?
• What is the historic context in which the source was written and read?
• What is the relevance of the source (see above for more on this).
The paper should be six pages, dont need cover page, chigago style, times new roman, 12 font, doubled space.

Comparing the observed and the predicted values
: Refer to Exercise 9.10. After the least squares line has been obtained, the table below (which is similar to Table 9.4) can be used for (1) comparing the observed and the predicted values of y, and (2) computing SSE.

What kinds of big ideas and questions does socrates examine
: How does your peer's interpretation compare to your own and the scholarly approaches presented in the textbook and lectures? What kinds of big ideas and questions does Socrates pose/examine? Does he ever define these terms?

A straight-line probabilistic relationship relates the mean
: If a straight-line probabilistic relationship relates the mean E(y) to an independent variable x, does it imply that every value of the variable y will always fall exactly on the line of means? Why or why not?

Are there any unspoken assumptions in the given text
: Are there any unspoken assumptions in the text? Is there a detectable world view? When was the source created? What is the historic context in which the source was written and read? What is the relevance of the source (see above for more on this).

Generally prefer a probabilistic model
: Why do we generally prefer a probabilistic model to a x = -2, y = 4 must satisfy the equation; that is, deterministic model? Give examples for which the two types of models might be appropriate.
