moneyball ques.

1.       The moneyball approach that billy and pete tried to get into was they tried to win the championship with a very poor team. I think that billy used both art science because billy had to use courage and a lot of thinking and for science he had to use a lot of math. The statistic they use was they look at the percentages of the players   
2.     
This is the formula that you use for obp
3.       Design is a creative type of thinking. Ideas that is never wrong. To plan and fashion artistically or skillfully.
4.       1 billy beane followed step 1 by defining the problem and the problem was that they lost their best 3 players and they had to figure out how to replace the players
2 billy beane and pet5e had to brainstorm ideas how to fill in their best players
3 billy and pete had to research a lot of players that are good that no other team knows
5.       1 alignment they had to organize the team in order for the team in order for the team can be good
2 commitment when they were sticking with the plan even if it was not working at first
3 direction billy had to direct the coach to put the players where they had to play and he had to direct the team also. 
6.       1 billy had to organize the team the right way
2 billy had to direct the team positive in order for the team to think positive
3 pete had to direct billy the players that were good and pete had to convince him
7.       Their winning streak was 68:51
8.       The ratio is .57
9.       Their winning streak was 20 wins in a row
10.   68:51 = .57 .57 ^ 20 = .0013 percent
68+51
11.   I think the As got lucky because it would have taken years to do that winning streak
12.   1 billy used science for the base average and the batting and he had to use a lot of math with decimals and percentages and he also had to keep track of all the money
2 he did use a lot of art by using his skills and it took  him a lot of courage cause it was a risk to do this

engineering ground zero

1.       The type of construction work featured in this video is they are going to try to build one of the most of the biggest building.    They are going to use concrete glass and steel to make is stronger than before. 

2.       The aspect that I like is that they are going to build a memorial the spot where the twin towers were at and the reason why they are going to build a memorial were the twin towers were is the honor for the people that died in 9/11 that got killed by tourists.

c. they all share ideas


d.n they demonstrate when they come back


e. they communicate of what they learn





6. Why should wild (and sometimes crazy) ideas be entertained during the brainstorming phase?

wild things should be introduced during brainstorm because the group can be able to design a better cart with all these wild things that people never thought of, something new.








7. After the brainstorming phase was over, the team narrowed down the hundreds of ideas by electing for those ideas that were not only “cool” but also ___done______________ in a short period of time. What phase of the design process is this called?





8. IDEO believes that the ideas and efforts of a _______team_______ will always be more successful than the planning of a lone genius.

all of the things that we see around us has basically been made again.






Conclusion

1. What did you find to be the most impressive part of the team’s effort?
what i found most impressive is that the whole team split up into groups so they canget new information to make the product better.








2. What advantages are there to having a design team with members that have non-engineering backgrounds?
the advantages are that since everybody is not an engineer is that everybody knows different things and if you connect all those different things you can get better ideas and you can make better products.









3. There was a point in the process where a self-appointed group of adults stepped up, stopped the ideas, and redirected the group to break up into teams. Why was this done?









4. At the end of the video, Dave Kelly states, “Look around. The only things that are not designed are the things we find in nature.” Can you think of anything that would contradict this statement?
i think he is saying the basically only use technology and new machines to make the product.
