  Fossil of this genus was first discovered in 1924 in South Africa, they lived on the ground, used stones as weapons and walked erect, they were 4 feet tall and weighed 60-80 pounds
• Homo Erectus


  The first fossil was found in Java in 1891, they were considered as the missing link between the man and apes, they had large cranial capacities and are believed to have lived in communities, they used tools comprising quartz, bones and wood, there is evidence of collective huntings and use of fire, they are believed to dwell in caves
• Media literacy


  The ability to identify different types of media and the messages they are sending
• Information literacy


  The ability to find, evaluate, organize, use, and communicate information in all its various formats, most notably in situations requiring decision making, problem solving, or the acquisition of knowledge
• Technology literacy


  The ability of an individual, working independently and with others, to responsibly, appropriately and effectively use technology tools to access, manage, integrate, evaluate, create and communicate information
• Sender


  The person who initiates the conversation and has conceptualized the idea that he intends to convey it to others
• Encoding


  The sender uses certain words or non-verbal methods such as symbols, signs, body gestures, etc. to translate the information into a message
• Message


  The information the sender intends to convey, can be written, oral, symbolic or non-verbal
• Communication Channel


  The medium through which the sender conveys the message to the recipient, it must be selected carefully to make the message effective and correctly interpreted

  
• Receiver


  The person for whom the message is intended, tries to comprehend it in the best possible manner
• Decoding


  The receiver interprets the sender's message and tries to understand it in the best possible manner
• Feedback


  The response of the receiver, verbal or non-verbal, that ensures the receiver has received the message and interpreted it correctly as it was intended by the sender
• Noise


  Barriers in communications that can prevent the message sent by the sender from being received by the recipient
• Annuity


  A long-term agreement (contract) between you and an insurance company that allows you accumulate funds on a tax-deferred basis for later payout in the form of a guaranteed income that you cannot outlive
• Shares


  Units of equity ownership interest in a corporation that exist as a financial asset providing for an equal distribution in any residual profits, if any are declared, in the form of dividends. Shareholders may also enjoy capital gains if the value of the company rises.
• Stock


  A general term used to describe the ownership certificates of any company. A share refers to the stock certificate of a particular company. Holding a particular company's share makes you a shareholder. Stocks are of two types—common and preferred.
• Null hypothesis (H0)


  A statement about the population that either is believed to be true or is used to put forth an argument unless it can be shown to be incorrect beyond a reasonable doubt
• Alternative hypothesis (Ha)


  A claim about the population that is contradictory to H0 and what we conclude when we reject H0
• Since the null and alternative hypotheses are contradictory, you must examine evidence to decide if you have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis or not. The evidence is in the form of sample data.
• After you have determined which hypothesis the sample supports, you make a decision. There are two options for a decision. They are "reject H0" if the sample information favors the alternative hypothesis or "do not reject H0" or "decline to reject H0" if the sample information is insufficient to reject the null hypothesis.
• Mathematical Symbols Used in H0 and Ha

  • H0: equal (=), not equal (≠), greater than (>), less than (<), greater than or equal to (≥), less than or equal to (≤)
  • Ha: not equal (≠), greater than (>), less than (<), more than (>)
• H0 always has a symbol with an equal in it. Ha never has a symbol with an equal in it. The choice of symbol depends on the wording of the hypothesis test.
• Asymptote


  A line that the graph of a function approaches as either x or y go to positive or negative infinity. There are three types: vertical, horizontal and oblique.

  
• Vertical asymptote


  A vertical line, x=a
• Horizontal asymptote


  A horizontal line, y=a
• Oblique or slant asymptote


  An asymptote along a line y=mx+b, where m≠0. Oblique asymptotes occur when the degree of the denominator of a rational function is one less than the degree of the numerator.

  
• For example, the function f(x) = x+1x has an oblique asymptote about the line y=x and a vertical asymptote at the line x=0.
