I'm ripping off the Math Help thread but just opening this one up to general homework help. Actually a lot of AP members here of different age groups and expertise so I figure we might as well help each other out while we're here. It can be on any topic and if you can't offer help, then maybe you can at least show people where to go or something like that. It's worth a shot.

I'm a pharmacology major with a background relatively strong in biology, biochemistry, chemistry, and some introductory physics. I can help out with most high school subjects or AP classes (not any foreign language, sorry guys).

if you would like to write my physics lab report that would be cool

just kidding.. i'm just procrastinating/taking a brain break

Subscribing for future use.

I probably won't be able to help anyone, but I can try if anyone has any questions about writing or English.

haha we have to type it up which seems to be making my life really hard. I really want to just write in the equations but we submit it online, and I have to figure out how to scan shit without having a scanner sometime soon. But it's on the charge/mass ration of the electron. Really excitinggg!

oh man i remember that lab. Just remember seeing the electron spin around for a while, it was good.

i am loving all these labs we get to do with lasers. we got to see a hologram today.. which was super cool!!

Alright anybody good with stats on here? I'm confused with the concept of confidence intervals and standard error. What does it mean on a graph?

what kind of graph?

Like a bar graph comparing two samples to see how alike they are. I know the formula is SE = SD/(squareroot of sample size) but any idea how you would show this on a graph particularly how you do it in Excel?

Standard error is usually shown on bar graphs with the error bars.

Assuming people will respond by Monday, I have quite a few questions in the Biological field before my exam.

The first of which being: What is an atom vs. an element? I know atoms are the smallest unit that still retain the properties of the element, but I'm not exactly sure how that can be applied.

Also, please correct me if I'm wrong, but I think I have this order correct [from smallest to largest]: atom, element, compound, molecule, cell.

You'll be over the moon to hear, your order is correct.
