Statistical Moments

A moment is a specific quantitative measure that characterizes a distribution. Two distributions are equal if their moments are equal.

Types of Moments:

• Related to the origin (0 as a reference)
• Related to the mean (μ as a reference)

M_r = (Σ(X_i – O)^r.n_i)/N

Where:

• X: individual observations
• r: Order of the moment (Order zero: r=0, First order: r=1, Second order: r=2, Third order: r=3)
• O: Origin or reference point
• n: frequency of each observation
• N: total number of observations

Properties:

• All moments of r=0 are equal to 1.
• Moments related to the mean are frequently called central moments.
• Moments with reference point 0 are frequently called ordinary moments.
• The arithmetic mean corresponds to the ordinary moment of the first order (r=

Transitivity Alternations

The Middle Alternation

The middle alternation involves a change in a verb's transitivity. Transitive verbs with an agent subject and a patient object can have an intransitive pattern. The subject of this intransitive pattern takes on the role of the object in the transitive use, followed by an adverbial or prepositional phrase.

Example:

• Transitive: The carpenter sawed the wood.
• Intransitive: The wood saws easily.

Verbs allowing the middle alternation express a change of state in the object. The middle construction emphasizes the subject being affected by the action (affectedness constraint). Verbs like pat or touch, where the object isn't affected, don't allow this construction.

Example:

• They hit the ball.
• *The ball hits easily.

US Strategy and Latin American Relations

The USA sought to demonstrate strength by controlling Latin America, often through exploitation. The US promoted free trade, but this faced difficulties in Latin America because local governments wanted complete control and resisted economic integration.

A company might buy back its shares because management considers them undervalued. CPK’s share price has declined 10% in the recent period, so by repurchasing shares it would create a positive signal to the stock market, resulting in an increase of stock price, and it would generate incremental economic value.
