Ethos How does the writer use ethos?

Assignment Prompt Write one developed paragraph (10-14 sentences) that makes and supports a claim in response to the following question: Based on the rhetoric in one or more of the Unit 2 essays, what does athletic culture demand of athletes, and what does it cost them? Ideas to get you started (you may also choose your own): What do writers feel they must prove before they can admit a struggle? What does that suggest about how athletes earn the right to be heard?

Claim frame (optional): The rhetoric in [essay(s)] suggests that athletic culture expects athletes to ________, which costs them ________. Your paragraph should include: A claim about athletic culture (not about one athlete’s life) At least two pieces of evidence (quote/paraphrase + page #). They can come from one essay or from two different essays. Explanation that connects each piece of evidence to a rhetorical choice (for example, “Williams redefines *tough* as asking for help, which shows…”), not just to what happened in the athlete’’ life A closing sentence that answers “so what?” Why should readers, coaches, or athletes care about this pattern?

The following questions are based on the Turkish E-commerce retail data that we have already used in class. We used K-Means clustering to see whether the 5,000 orders in the e-commerce dataset fall into natural groups. Seven numeric inputs are used. Unit price and quantity were left out because total amount already reflects them. They are: customer age, discount amount, total order amount, session duration, pages viewed, delivery time, customer rating. Categorical variables, such as product category, city and payment method, and the yes/no returning-customer flag, were not used to form the clusters. They were only used afterward to describe the groups. Before clustering, all seven variables were standardized, which converts each to a z-score with a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1. The model was run separately with K = 2, 3 and 5 clusters. For each solution, the performance metrics are provided below.  Number of Clusters( K) inertia (within cluster sum of squares) silhouette 2 30767.7 0.486 3 27247.967 0.161 4 24664.69 0.149 5 22539.371 0.15 6 20770.867 0.157 7 19035.324 0.154 8 17677.817 0.153
