Examples of degree in the following topics:

  • Harmonies (Roman Numerals and Functional Bass) by Bass Scale Degree

  • Burns

    • First degree burns are limited to the epidermis .
    • Second degree burns extend into the superficial papillary dermis .
    • Third degree burns extend through the entire dermis .
    • Eight day old fourth degree burn on arch of foot caused by motorcycle muffler.
    • Third degree burns to the lower leg with partial tissue charring.
  • Farenheit Scale

    • In the Fahrenheit scale, the freezing of water is defined at 32 degrees, while the boiling point of water is defined to be 212 degrees.
    • The unit of this scale is the degree Fahrenheit (°F).
    • On this scale, water's freezing point is defined to be 32 degrees, while water's boiling point is defined to be 212 degrees.
    • On the Celsius scale, the freezing and boiling points of water are 100 degrees apart.
    • A temperature interval of 1 °F is equal to an interval of 5/9 degrees Celsius (°C).
  • Freeman's approach

    • Figure 10.5 shows the output of Network>Centrality>Degree applied to out-degrees and to the in-degrees of the Knoke information network.
    • We see that the range of in-degree is slightly larger (minimum and maximum) than that of out-degree, and that there is more variability across the actors in in-degree than out-degree (standard deviations and variances).
    • Clearly, however, the population is more homogeneous with regard to out-degree (influence) than with regard to in-degree (prominence).
    • In the star network, all the actors but one have degree of one, and the "star" has degree of the number of actors, less one.
    • In the current case, the out-degree graph centralization is 51% and the in-degree graph centralization 38% of these theoretical maximums.
  • Teaching Degrees

    • The first step to becoming a teacher and transforming young minds is earning a teaching degree.
    • Certain institutions may also accept an online teaching degree.
    • A MAT and MST degree are generally pre-service degrees that usually require a minimum of 30 semester hours beyond the Bachelor's degree.
    • Candidates usually spend a semester as a full time student teacher in order to earn the degree.
    • There are two general models that (MAT) degrees follow: a 5th year model in which students spend one year extra beyond their bachelor's degree to earn a master's degree and an initial teaching license; and a Flex program which usually offers part-time weekend and evening courses to accommodate professionals who are changing careers.
  • The chi-square distribution and finding areas

    • This distribution has three degrees of freedom, so only the row with 3 degrees of freedom (df) is relevant.
    • (b) 2 degrees of freedom, area above 4.3 shaded.
    • (c) 5 degrees of freedom, area above 5.1 shaded.
    • (e) 4 degrees of freedom, area above 10 shaded.
    • (f) 3 degrees of freedom, area above 9.21 shaded.
  • Chi Square Distribution

    • Describe how the shape of the Chi Square distribution changes as its degrees of freedom increase
    • The mean of a Chi Square distribution is its degrees of freedom.
    • Chi Square distributions are positively skewed, with the degree of skew decreasing with increasing degrees of freedom.
    • Notice how the skew decreases as the degrees of freedom increase.
    • Chi Square distributions with 2, 4, and 6 degrees of freedom
  • Undergraduate and Graduate Study in Psychology

    • Only people with doctoral degrees are called "psychologists," but people with master's or bachelor's degrees also have many career options available.
    • However, individuals who hold master's degrees or even bachelor's degrees also have many options within applied psychology.
    • Studying psychology at the master's level can yield one of several degrees:
    • Bachelor's degrees usually require four years of study and are required prior to entry into graduate programs where master's or doctoral degrees may be earned.
    • A bachelor's degree does not meet the requirements for clinical practice or licensure.
  • Basics of Graphing Polynomial Functions

    • A typical graph of a polynomial function of degree 3 is the following:
    • A polynomial of degree 6.
    • Its highest-degree coefficient is positive.
    • A polynomial of degree 5.
    • Its highest-degree coefficient is positive.
  • Notation

    • where df = degrees of freedom depend on how chi-square is being used.
    • The degrees of freedom for the three major uses are each calculated differently. )
    • The random variable for a chi-square distribution with k degrees of freedom is the sum of k independent, squared standard normal variables.
