Open Question: yes, please give me the formula for this questions?
23. A real estate agent in the coastal area of Georgia wants to compare the variation in the selling price of homes on the oceanfront with those one to three blocks from the ocean. A sample of 21 oceanfront homes sold within the last year revealed the standard deviation of the selling price was $45,600. A sample of 18 homes, also sold within the last year, that were one to three blocks from the ocean revealed that the standard deviation was $21,330. At a .01 significance level, can we conclude that there is more variation in the selling prices of the oceanfront homes?

Resolved Question: Could someone critic my writing, Please?
I’ll gladly take comments from anyone, but I would very much appreciate the opinion of another author - or at least someone with a little experience or knowledge of the sorts.

I’m working on two books at the moment.
Well, three actually - but the third is still in the brain-storming stage.

The first, which I started a couple years back but have yet to find time to complete, is called “When the Songbird Cries”
Its told through the eyes of a man in his early 20s - Chris, whose closet friend - Vanessa - is shot and killed in a convenient store heist. The woman has a young daughter - Elizabeth, but no next of kin - so Chris takes custody of her. I can’t tell you the rest, obviously - I don’t want to give away the book just yet.

Anyway, here is an excerpt from the first chapter:

“The air was cold. The breeze sent chills parading up and down my spine. I walk the lonesome path watching my every step closely, for in the midst of winter one false move could decide ones fate. As I arrive the reverend is speaking slowly, audibly trying to control his tone. There were dahlias everywhere. Her favorite. Several moments of silence pass as they begin to lower the casket into the snow enshrouded earth. If I were to listen closely enough, I could almost hear the freezing tears hit the ground.”

And here is another excerpt from chapter ten, once the story is a bit more developed:

“The swoosh of the cash draw darting open pulled me back down to earth. I gazed out the front window as the register printed our sales receipt, bored with the habitual task. A young couple walked by, their hands linked. Then a older man walking a Golden Retriever; followed by two laughing children, their mother trailing behind them. They all seemed so pleasant, too pleasant to be a part of this world - or my world at least. The subtle, glistening frost that glazed the window made then seem even less real to me.
That’s when I saw him. Through the weave of cars that dominated the road, I caught a glimpse of his face. A face I could never forget.
Sven.
I concentrated on the spot where he stood, catching quick glances as the cars allowed. He stood, half hidden behind a stand of newspapers, staring directly into the store.
He dropped the cigarette in his hand and ground it under his foot, turning to back away from the street. I lost sight of him as a large bus blocked my vantage point. The bus passed in less than a second, but when it did - he was gone.”

The second book is called “The Pendent of the Black Sea”
It take place in Aurora, Romania - a coastal town by the Black Sea - in 1896. Its told through the eyes of a 19 year old girl - Catalina - who’s father was lost at sea years ago. Her mother has since gone mad, starring out her window at the sea - waiting for her love to return. Catalina owns a pendent she found on the shore when she was a child, but she doesn’t know that there’s anything out-of-the-ordinary about it - aside from its beauty. Shortly after finding said pendent, she begins to see all the fantastical beings the live around her.

Here is an excerpt from the third chapter:

“One night after super, I went outside and walked along the beach like I once did with Mother. Two weeks had passed since my fathers death, and every one of those nights I’d spent walking these shores beneath the stars. This night, though, was unlike the others. The sky was clear and the full moon shone brightly on the pale sand. As I strode along with my bear feet, something near the water caught my eye.
I walked upon to find a silver pendant half hidden under the cool, wet grains. I gathered the pendent and its chain into my hands. Walking to the edge of the water, I rinsed the sand from the charm. As I held it among my fingers, tilting it this way and that, the moonlight glimmered off its surface. It was the most beautiful thing I‘d ever seen, so you can imagine a child’s delight.
I took it home with me that night and studied it while I lye in bed. It was the size of my palm in all, it had four points to it - like those of a shinning star. Three leaves of ivy formed each point, their stems trailing down into an intricate scroll. In the center of the pendent was an oval made purely from mother of pearl.
How wonderful I thought it was and oh, how I wished I could show Mother; but instead I hid the charm, for fear that my mother might think me a thieve. Never did the necklace stray far from me, though. That night, I slept with my little piece of the sea under my pillow.”

and another from chapter 11:

“Again, I was woken by a cry - though, now, one of the rooster perched on the fence post just beyond my window. I took a deep breath, filling my lungs with the cool morning air. I could smell the fresh, damp scent of rain on the breeze flowing through my open window. The golden sun light filtered through the translucent rose curtains the hung from my valance, sending a pleasurable display of

Voting Question: Is this a good geography essay?
Homework – Population distribution in New Zealand

The population of New Zealand is most dense in the North Island. There are a lot of reasons for this, some include the following. About 60% percent of the South island is covered in mountain ranges, with snowy peaks exceeding 1500m on a regular basis. For the North Island, on the other hand, The number is only %20. Therefore, large urban population in the South Island is a rarity, because of a lack of space. The only true urban city, by international standards, is Christchurch with a population of nearly 400,000. The year-round Average temperature of the South Island is a mare 8 degrees, compared with 15 Degrees in the North Island. This trend matches that of the population distribution trend as more people live in warmer areas. There is more opportunity living in the north island, and more specifically Auckland. Not only is the population of Auckland 3-4 times that of any other city in New Zealand, it also holds 90% of the countries wealth. The university has twice as many students than any other in the country, even twice as many as Harvard in the US. The public hospital is massive on comparison to any other in the country, It is home to the largest building in the southern hemisphere. For these reasons and more, Auckland is New Zealand’s city of opportunity.

Over 70% of New Zealand’s population lies directly on the coast. There are two main reasons for this. Firstly, When settlers traveled to New Zealand in the 19th and 20th centuries, They set up colonies where they landed; along the coast. Major, Highly populated cities such as Christchurch, Wellington and the mega city, Auckland. This also helps the economy, a large chunk of food exports exports are seafood; trawlers have access to large, state-of-the-art ports. Secondly, the geographical make of up New Zealand is mainly Mountains and hills. Because Both of the main islands of New Zealand are volcanic, the majority of mountains are in the centre. This means that most, if not all of New Zealand’s flat and fertile land lies on the coast. Founding towns in the mountains is an impractical and unnecessary task, hence, for practicality reasons, the extremely high coastal population.
